QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 3, 2013 -> 08:13 AM) I just read that Gordo is actually engaged to Scott Fletcher's daughter. Damn I feel old now. I popped in the final game at Comiskey Park over the weekend, and it was interesting to see the White Sox players-- Fisk- future Hall of Famer Thomas- rookie- future Hall of Famer Sosa- traded to the Cubs a year later, steroids allowed him to hit over 600 HR Guillen- future Sox manager. 15 years later, won the World Series Ventura- rookie, future Sox manager Calderon- murdered Fletcher- Sox 2B, daughter would later marry Sox future 2B who was 4 when this game was played Johnson- One Dog one of a few to play for Sox, Cubs, Yankees and Mets McDowell- future Cy Young winner The Mariners also had a young Ken Griffey Jr, his dad, and Omar Vizquel who could be the last active player to play in Comiskey Park. The final out was Harold Reynolds who is still around at MLB Network.

Merry Christmas to all! Pitchers and Catchers report in 7 weeks!

Good.

I'll admit, the lack of action is unsettling. But the Sox fans aren't alone in waiting for good news. Just have to be patient and see what this roster looks like in a couple months. It certainly isn't fair to judge Rick Hahn as a GM yet. There's nothing to go by at all really.

Jeff Gray is listed as one of the Sox non-roster invitees.

AJP and his agent are meeting with the Rangers today.

It seems like the rest of baseball is telling AJ that he and the White Sox are made for each other. Personally, I'm ready for the Sox to move on. But if they got him back at 1 year/5 mil, I wouldn't be disappointed.

Safe to say the Blue Jays, Tigers, and Angels all have to win their divisions in 2013 in order to be a good year. Then you have the rest of the East teams, the Royals, the White Sox, the Rangers, the A's...probably even the Mariners, thinking they can compete in 2013. The Indians, Twins and Astros will be under-.500 teams in the AL, but for the other 12 teams...4 or 5 of them are going to be a lot worse than what they think they can be.

Twins sign Mike Pelfrey. They're collecting warm bodies.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 14, 2012 -> 10:04 AM) Weekend? When was the last time the Sox made a move on a weekend in the offseason? The one that stands out was the McCarthy/Danks deal. That was a Saturday night before Christmas in 06. But they usually like to announce stuff when they'll get attention--which makes sense.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Dec 14, 2012 -> 09:58 AM) I am making a prediction...the Sox will make a BIG move this week-end! It has been WAY too quiet! Wrong thread.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 14, 2012 -> 09:24 AM) Smyly takes over the 5th starter spot in that case or do they have someone else behind him? Yeah, I think they like Smyly. Plus he's a lefty.

Watch the Tigers move Porcello to Pittsburgh in a Hanrahan deal.

Rangers home opener against the Angels.

5/125

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 13, 2012 -> 01:14 PM) I don't know why anyone would negotiate with Hamilton as long as he was going to give Texas a chance to match the offer. It seems like you would be doing all the work for them. That was my thought too. I just hope this gets resolved today, so the Mariners (or Rangers) can move on to Bourn...and after that the trade market can open up for the White Sox to do something.

Angels and Hamilton are close to an agreement. Your move Michael Bourn.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Dec 13, 2012 -> 12:59 PM) Olney suggesting Angels are about to strike on a big move. Other writers speculating it could be signing Hamilton. I wonder how Trumbo looks at 3B.....Hmm.... If Trumbo could play 3B good enough, he'd be playing 3B for the Angels.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 13, 2012 -> 10:59 AM) Jayson Stark ‏@jaysonst Clubs pursuing Mike Adams say he could sign in next couple of days. Among teams linked to him: Nats, Jays, Phillies, Rangers, Cubs, Brewers Stark added this 2 teams to add to list of Mike Adams pursuers I posted earlier: White Sox & Angels.At this point clearly best FA setup man left

Buster Olney Sox are held hostage from doing anything until this Hamilton thing gets settled. Aggravating.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Dec 12, 2012 -> 03:09 PM) Beckham for Ackley? Seriously? Ackley is their Beckham, that's for sure. I doubt they'll trade him unless it's for a proven offensive player.

D-backs tweet: https://twitter.com/Dbacks/status/278684533979758594 Bauer to the Indians.

Napoli may not have passed his physical with Boston.

Sounds like this may be a 3-way, with Gregorius ending up in Arizona. This could be the beginning of the dominoes falling. Indians will get Stubbs and a pitcher--Bauer or Corbin from Arizona Dbacks get Gregorius Reds get Choo and Donald

I don't like Ethier's contract. Too rich for the Sox, and he's on the wrong side of 30. Pass.
