QUOTE (Dunt @ Nov 20, 2014 -> 03:11 PM) Anyone care to lay out the current 40 man for those of us that lack motivation? http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/team/roste...an.jsp?c_id=cws

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 20, 2014 -> 02:55 PM) ALL THE LEFTIES! ALL THE CUBANS! ALL THE GARCIAs!

Out of the 40 guys on the roster now, it wouldn't surprise me at all if 5 or 6 of those guys are on different teams in three weeks.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 20, 2014 -> 02:38 PM) Can they not still drop someone between now and next week's draft if they see somebody they like available? Isn't the Rule 5 on December 11? Usually it ends the Winter meetings.

https://twitter.com/CST_soxvan/status/535528432592257024 Montas, Ravelo, Smith, and Saladino added. Mitchell outrighted to Charlotte. LHP Onelki Garcia claimed from Dodgers. Belisario DFA

QUOTE (scs787 @ Nov 20, 2014 -> 01:32 PM) Is there a time on todays deadline or does it end at midnight? Late tonight, but I'd expect something before 5pm.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 20, 2014 -> 12:30 PM) I think Cabrera is probably the best of the realistic matches for what this team needs. The one hang up is are the Sox willing to over look his past. If anyone needs a refresher... http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/8282185/...use-report-says Just my two cents... I'm not naive to think that the Sox or the other 29 teams don't players doing stuff, but it turns my stomach when decent players get caught trying to get the big payday. I hate this guy, and I don't want the Sox to get him. It still bugs me that Canseco and Manny wore the Sox uniform....(or wife beaters like Brett Myers get traded for.) And yes, I know Quintana and Flowers got caught before their major league careers, but I can understand youthful stupidity more than players in the union still doing PEDs--and then lying about it, or throwing people under the bus.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 20, 2014 -> 09:41 AM) Is Saladino even going to be healthy by then? He has Tommy John at the end of the 2014 season. http://m.whitesox.mlb.com/news/article/101...cus-to-recovery

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 19, 2014 -> 11:27 AM) 40 man currently at 37 with the addition of Duke. Guys who I think will get outrighted/DFA'd off the 40 man: LGarcia, Wilkins Guys who I would outright/DFA: Belisario, LGarcia, Wilkins, Mitchell Guys who I think they will protect: Montas, Thompson, Bassitt, Ravelo (gets to 39) Guys I'd protect: Montas, Thompson, Smith, Bassitt, Ravelo, Rondon (gets to 39) We'll see how grossly off I am. Thompson also already on the 40-man. So if the pool is 3 spots for 5 guys (Montas, Rondon, Saladino, Ravelo, and Smith), I'd have to think Saladino and Smith are the ones left off. Maybe some subtractions later today too. Here's mlbtraderumors link for all of the teams: http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/11/play...n-roster-2.html

No thanks on Cabrera. I hope taking his time finding a new team means the Sox will move on.

QUOTE (dayan024 @ Nov 19, 2014 -> 03:29 PM) Chris Cotillo ‏@ChrisCotillo 20m20 minutes ago One possibility for the #WhiteSox as they look for bullpen help: bringing back Sergio Santos. They have interest, I'm told. I can't read the last two words of that sentence without an irish accent.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 19, 2014 -> 03:18 PM) I wonder if he is part of the dream. No, but Buehrle and McCarthy are.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 19, 2014 -> 03:14 PM) We already have Sergio Santos. His name is Dan Webb. For now. The average major league team used 24 pitchers this year. It's a constant revolving door with bullpens. As long as Santos wouldn't be on the 40-man, I'd have no problem if they gave him a look.

https://twitter.com/ChrisCotillo/status/535177662613192704 Minor league deal? No promises? Sure, why not.

Anyone else look back at Sale being in the pen in 2011 as a colossal waste of his talent?

Starter only. Birmingham's park is bigger than Charlotte's, correct? Giving him 5-6 starts in Birmingham probably would be a good idea, then another 8-10 starts in Charlotte, and then go from there. I hope it never comes to him being a reliever, but if it means the other five starters are doing well, and the pen has a need, you never know. Do whatever, just as long as he's ready to make 32 starts and go 190 innings in 2016.

QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 28, 2014 -> 09:45 AM) 11/19- Viciedo to Seattle for bullpen arm(s), maybe Maurer. Ok Hahn, make me look good...

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 19, 2014 -> 09:21 AM) "I wish the Sox would just spend money" "Why did they spend so much money!!!" So everyone is supposed to have the same opinion about what the White Sox do. Got it.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Nov 18, 2014 -> 02:37 PM) Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 52s52 seconds ago Rick Hahn: "We're on to the next one now." Says they're going to address other needs, including more bullpen help. #WhiteSox How's that Beckham trade coming along?

QUOTE (oldsox @ Nov 18, 2014 -> 11:41 AM) Do you rate Arruebarrena ahead of either Semien or Carlos Sanchez? Just thinking Arruebarrena may be more of a true SS, and a decent placeholder for Tim Anderson. I really like Sanchez as a 2B, and hope he gets an opportunity to play while Micah Johnson starts the year in Charlotte. Semien may be a nice bargaining chip this winter, or he can be a super sub bench player.

Let's make some guesses... 3 yrs/ 11.5. Too low?

QUOTE (flavum @ Nov 9, 2014 -> 10:41 PM) Figure out a trade where the Sox get Kemp, AJ Ellis, and Arruebarrena and the Dodgers get Alexei and John Danks. Just bumping this for no particular reason.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 18, 2014 -> 11:22 AM) I was just messing around with Puig, I know there is no chance of him. Regarding your scenarios, I really only like the first 2. I hate number 3 and #4 even though we would get rid of Danks, Ethier still has 3 more years on his deal even with cash included. It'd be interesting to see what those prospects of value would be then. Plus, I'm just not a fan of Ethier, at all. I agree about Ethier. No amount of money eating would make me happy about him being tied to the Sox ages 33-35.
