QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 12, 2013 -> 10:11 AM) Today could get exciting. Probably not. It's a mad dash to the airport after the Rule 5. Sure they could do something, but it's more likely to happen after today.

Eaton was on the Score this morning. http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2013/12/12/eat...rtbag-nickname/ If Eaton leads off 150 games for the next five years, people will like this guy.

Even if Nieto doesn't make the team, maybe they can work out a deal to keep him in the system. That happens once in a while. But hopefully the Sox will acquire a major league catcher soon (before February 15).

Sox took Evan Crawford. AAA phase. LHP. Some major league time with Blue Jays.

Aggressive. Worth a look in spring training.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Dec 11, 2013 -> 12:23 PM) Rock kind of hinted that the Sox were interested, too. My question is, if they do sign him, who is going to depart? Somebody would want Gillaspie. Maybe an NL team looking for a backup 1B/3B, pinch hitter.

It's weird how Merkin and Hayes went out of their way yesterday to say the Sox aren't in on Uribe, but people are still reporting that the Sox and Dodgers are waiting on him to decide.

Since we're talking comps... How about an OF version of Jason Kipnis? Fair?

I just hope he understands that health is a skill.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 11, 2013 -> 10:25 AM) At least you can say about Hawk that he isnt openly campaigning for it He lets the White Sox brass do that for him....naming the broadcast level of the park after him, Hawk Harrelson Day, having MLB Network do a special on him, etc. Make no mistake, he wants to be there.

Didn't make it. He'll be eligible again in three years. Three...long....years.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 05:38 PM) They'd prefer to keep DV over ADA as he's younger and an org guy with potentially more upside. Sounds like ADA has a broader market since he's more productive for contenders. I wouldn't expect a huge return but I do think he'll be dealt. Good enough. This is a two year project anyway.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 04:37 PM) I love the picture from the hotel room. I'm imagining them getting s***faced at night and making off the wall trade proposals, GMs running from room to room with drinks in hand and scantily clad women. Hahn is holding his butt after having to give up a PTNBL.

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 04:21 PM) I hope the scouts are right, Lenny was a hell of a player. I'll take the 86 version of Dykstra. Not the 93. They test for that now.

As much as De Aza does stupid things, I hope the Sox find a trade for Viciedo that makes sense. I think he's terrible.

Another player that won't get to wear #6 for no good reason.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 02:25 PM) @AdamSpankyEaton Well, that escalated quickly... Nice!

Eaton, Avisail, Abreu... hopefully three guys that will be part of the solution. Looking forward to watching some new blood for a full season.

Kendrick back in the equation?
