His AL experience: Red Sox July 25, 2009 - July 30, 2009

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Nov 21, 2014 -> 06:47 PM) Hmmm... the 40 is full before this signing. I wonder if there is another move in the works, or will the Sox just trim some more dead weight off the roster? Short of making another trade, it wouldn't surprise me if they risk losing Wilkins through waivers, and if they don't lose him, just outright him to AAA.

Just because.... https://twitter.com/e3laroche/status/530092038105354240

I like how Hahn has hit the "Buy it Now" button on Duke and LaRoche. Maybe a slight overpay on both, but they have needs and they aren't waiting around for the perfect deal.

I really like 2-year deals.

Rays down to three managerial candidates- Kevin Cash, Don Wakamatsu, and Raul Ibanez. I would think Dave Martinez will ask to leave.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Nov 21, 2014 -> 03:23 PM) Is it December 8th yet? Wake me up then please. I hear ya. I'm interested to see what happens on December 2 with non-tenders, but pitchers and catchers don't report for three months. Plenty o' time.

We're being too nice to Tyler Flowers. Get that bum out of town.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Nov 3, 2014 -> 07:48 AM) The last time Montero had the BABIP luck Flowers did last season, he was worth 4.6 WAR, and that probably underestimated him by a lot because he's a great framer Steamer has him projected for 3 WAR (again, consider framing) and Flowers for 0.9 (framing to be considered here too but not as much) He'd be an unquestionable upgrade What's his SIERA?

The Sox aren't getting Zimmermann (with two n's). He's a free agent after next season. Great pitcher though.

First batter he faced in the majors? Diamondbacks' OF Adam Eaton. He walked, and Garcia was taken out. Then Eaton got caught stealing.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Nov 20, 2014 -> 04:13 PM) It would seem that they need to add Micah Johnson to the 40 man. He got drafted in 2012, so he probably has one more year on that. Obviously, he has a decent shot of being on the 40-man before next November.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 20, 2014 -> 03:40 PM) Well, Shuck has an 82 career OPS+ compared to Danks' 74, but Danks plays all three OF positions well and in a backup OF that's probably more important than being a slightly less s***ty hitter. I don't know how good he is in CF, but Shuck has played 248 minor league games out there. It'll probably work itself out this offseason.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 20, 2014 -> 03:34 PM) In the AL, there is room on a team for a guy like Danks who runs well and plays all three OF positions well. Better keeping him as your 4th OF than an actual prospect who needs to be playing every day. Wilkins and Carroll are guys who you can outright because they will likely just stay in the organization anyway. I think Shuck is the new Jordan Danks.

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Nov 20, 2014 -> 03:26 PM) Ugh. So much trash. I wouldn't go that far because every team has these guys on their 40-man. But true crap: Rienzo, Snodgress, probably Surkamp, Phegley, Wilkins, and Jordan Danks can probably go now, even though he tries hard and had a few big hits.

20 Pitchers: Bassitt, Carroll, Cleto, Danks, Duke, Fernandez, Garcia, Guerra, Johnson, Jones, Montas, Noesi, Petricka, Putnam, Quintana, Rienzo, Sale, Snodgress, Surkamp, Webb 4 Catchers: Flowers, Nieto, Phegley, Smith 10 Infield: Abreu, Davidson, Garcia, Gillaspie, Ramirez, Ravelo, Saladino, Sanchez, Semien, Wilkins 6 Outfield: Danks, Eaton, Garcia, Shuck, Thompson, Viciedo

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 20, 2014 -> 03:13 PM) That hasn't been updated yet. It has for me. Weird.

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
