QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 01:38 PM) Why? Fulmer and Lopez should be getting every opportunity to fully start until they prove they can't They can, but they really need to watch the innings closely. And if they have a bunch of power arms coming, maybe fewer innings and more quality is better than the conventional 6-8 innings every 5th or 6th day.

Hopefully he'll be ok, but I could get on board with Fulmer/Lopez tandem starts. Sox could get creative with "bullpenning" during the rebuild.

MLB Network's Top 100 Players Right Now starts tonight. Quintana has never been on this list before. I think he'll be in the first show tonight (81-100). (Q was 77)

In addition to the 15 uniform numbers the White Sox don't assign, they do not have anyone wearing 1, 23, or 49. http://m.whitesox.mlb.com/roster

MLB Network's 30 Clubs in 30 Days begins next Monday at 5 on MLB Tonight. They start with your Chicago White Sox.

Verlander-Quintana in 50 days. Bring it on.

If he signed, it would be widely known by now. It's just a "should they" topic.

Mike Ilitch died.

Ryan Howard would be funny, but it also wouldn't bother me.

There's no need to clear a spot for Soto right now, and you don't have to proactively clear a spot before a trade--there's wiggle room there after a trade is made. I would guess this is a new free agent being added.

I notice Bourjos was never added to the NRI list. Did he possibly get a major league deal, and now it's going to be official?

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Feb 10, 2017 -> 12:27 PM) Jeff Todd is insane. He said in the MLB Trade Rumors chat that the Sox would offer Q for Bregman straight up and Houston would say no. Lol ok. He's right. Honestly, that's a trade possibility that just doesn't exist.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Feb 9, 2017 -> 07:43 PM) Dumb thought, but could Houston or another team be waiting until after the WBC to complete a trade? Perhaps Quintana told the Sox he won't back out under any circumstance? It's not out of the question the WBC is playing a factor. There was a quote from somebody (Hahn or Renteria) that Quintana is pitching in the WBC no matter what. So maybe teams (the Astros) want to wait until the dust has settled on that, and see where their own guys are in spring training, before making a move. If Colombia gets eliminated quickly, Q could be back from Miami around March 12-13.

Bruce Levine was on the Score and is sticking with the Sox trading Quintana before reporting day. But he also said he was basing this on his own feelings, not inside information. I agree with him, but if it isn't tomorrow, I think we'll see Q pitching in the WBC as Sox property.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Feb 9, 2017 -> 01:24 PM) Should change the thread title. Or lock and forget it even existed.

This guy just makes stuff up and then if it doesn't happen he blames a bad source. Heyman or Rosenthal, with the occasional Nightengale. That's all.

The Sox are a bottom-5 team now, and they'll get worse. Charlotte will have more wins playing 20 fewer games.

Do what you want in the minors, but for the major leagues? No. I'd be more for ties after 12 innings than starting a guy on 2nd base.

The risk of the value decreasing by July plus getting a higher pick in 2018 need to be in the equation. Trade him before Opening Day and make the best deal possible.

The Wednesday before spring training starts...gotta be today. No really.
