QUOTE (2005thxfrthmmrs @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 02:03 PM) Apparently our targets were Betts and Benintendi + in July, that's why no deal. Buster Olney ✔ @Buster_ESPN White Sox get a big haul from BOS -- and it's a step down for what they asked for in July, which included Betts and Benintendi. Yeah that wasn't going to happen...

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 12:52 PM) Let's see where Devers, Robles and Basabe are three years from now. White Sox BA Top Ten just added three top five or six guys now. With Moncada, Collins and Basabe...three guys who could be real impact hitters. Then Kopech, Burdi, Fulmer and Hansen are all at least intriguing. At the bery least, we're stockpiling the best future bullpen in the game. Our system moved up 5 ranks today, easily. We should have a top 5 system at the start of the season if we play our hand right.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 12:29 PM) Moncada starts with the Sox next year, correct? Any chance he starts in AAA? He's never played in AAA before. I think he'll start in AAA.

QUOTE (Sockin @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 12:28 PM) Trade Quintana to Nats now and get Giolito There is no way we can get Giolito for Quintana.

Red Sox would need to give one of Benintendi/Moancada for this to work IMO. I like JBJ, but, he's only got 4 years of team control left.

Giolito's stock really plummeted after he was awful in 4 starts last year. He's got the tools, but who knows if it'll translate well to the Majors.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 05:21 PM) Just finally discovered it, but the BBC version of Sherlock might one of the greatest shows ever. It is so incredibly well done. I just love it. We binged all three seasons in about a week. Just in time for the new season on new year's. Lucky you. I think the best part of British television, especially Sherlock, is that the episodes are long and they're done airing in a few weeks. Oh and make sure you watch the Christmas Special The Abominable Bride.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 04:40 PM) I don't get the benefits of the PS4 Pro over the regular PS4 other than 4K capabilities. That's a big deal for a lot of people. Once you see stuff in 4K, everything else looks like s***.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 10:50 AM) https://mobile.twitter.com/ChrisDeLuca/stat...813157398777856 Never change Rondo... If it took Rondo to get Wade to sign here, then whatever. But he should be gone next year.

I hate Rex Ryan and I hate Mike Gillislee. Shady could have 2 TDs right now, but got both vultured after he got them into the red zone on both drives.

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Dec 2, 2016 -> 06:12 PM) Link Chris CotilloVerified account ‏@ChrisCotillo Diamondbacks non-tender Wellington Castillo. I find this one interesting... Sox should jump on that. Castillo has good power.

What the f***? Why?!?!

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Dec 1, 2016 -> 09:58 PM) 2013 Week 17 against the Packers. He had them up 28-20 in the 4th Quarter. Then it was 28-27, 4th and 8 with around 45 seconds to go, and the defense blew the game by letting Rodgers scramble (Peppers' fault) and hit a wide open Cobb for a TD (dbacks miscommunication).. He gets hit pretty hard for every failure of his, and I don't recall him pointing too many fingers at others who did the same. He underperformed, and I think he'd admit it, but he has handled himself with far more class than a lot of his teammates. It's time for him to go, but I don't think it will be as easy to replace him as some think. f***ing Chris Conte.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Dec 1, 2016 -> 12:08 AM) Would it be better to roster Adrian Peterson (I just won the claim on him), or add Alfred Morris as a handcuff to Ezekiel Elliot? I know on Matthew Berry's fantasy show they have been saying you need to handcuff Elliot with Morris, but I'm not experienced enough with fantasy to understand why, other than the *potential* for injury I guess? In which case, wouldn't that have been the idea all season? Or is it because all the byes are done, your bench should be differently? Anyway, they even explicitly said in the video that handcuffing Elliot with Morris is a better idea than rostering Peterson, but I just see that as trading a potential weapon for safety net. Of course, I could just drop Crowell who has been god awful recently, or drop Jared Cook in hopes that Gronk will play Sunday. You shouldn't even roster Jared Cook. He's had one good game all year.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Nov 25, 2016 -> 11:40 PM) iPhone 8 rumors already swirling. My contract is up but I'm gonna wait out for the 8 rather than get the 7. They're going to do 7S before 8. This happens every year lol.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 29, 2016 -> 10:23 AM) Oh and Trump decided to declare today that flag burning, which is protected 1st amendment speech, should be punishable by revocation of citizenship. What is he trying to distract from this time? I think I've come to the conclusion that Trump doesn't just say this s*** for the sake of it most of the time. There's almost always an ulterior motive.

Made the playoffs in my main league, looking to score a bye by winning this week. Fighting for the last spot in my work league. Hopelessly out of contention in my money league though.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 29, 2016 -> 07:59 AM) I played until 1220 last night lol. So, if they re generated the names again I'm returning the game. You can return games? Did you buy it used or something?

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Nov 27, 2016 -> 11:44 AM) Bulls.com/CyberMonday Only on Monday, November 28, you have the opportunity to purchase BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE tickets on select seats.* NO CONVENIENCE FEES for all games. only on select seats (though there's a mix of 300 & 100 level seats available) The offer goes live at midnight tonight (CST) and runs all day on Monday. I got some 300s. Pretty good deal.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 28, 2016 -> 10:27 AM) Alex Smith is the luckiest QB in NFL history. So average but gets on teams with top defenses. He and Andy Reid are a great match. Reid's offense allows a QB like Smith to succeed.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 28, 2016 -> 12:31 AM) So if you are Kubiak do you try a 62 yard field goal, knowing if he misses it KC will very likely win the game? I think if he doesn't try the field goal he gets reamed on talk radio and social media and fans rip him a new one. However ... a 62-yard field goal?? I guess he was able to go for it and not take any heat because of the altitude in Denver and fact the kicker has a realistic shot at making it if he properly boots the ball. I know why he tried the game-winning field goal, but in second-guessing retrospect, it cost him the game. Should be interesting to see how his team bounces back after a disappointing loss like that. Their play calling sucked after they got into KC territory. 5 more yards and that field goal is a lot more makeable. Instead they threw it twice and gave KC time to drive down the field.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 26, 2016 -> 08:01 AM) Really getting fed up with FIFA 17. This is the 2nd time that this has happened to me. Middle of my career mode and all the players have changed to random names. Not even real names. So, I'm trying to find players via transfer and none of them show up. Just awful. Erik Lamela is now Erivalo Luca....... Ha they just all re-gen'd for no reason.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Nov 27, 2016 -> 10:50 PM) Anyone watching this Denver - Kansas City game? Probably the best game I've seen all year. Fitting end to the game too haha.

QUOTE (Tony @ Nov 27, 2016 -> 03:08 PM) He's still doing this....as President Elect. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/...972944532209664 Hahahaha This guy...

I think Springer's a good player, but he's a free agent in 2021. I'd much rather get Bregman, who has 2 more years of control. Springer's a 4-5 win player, but he's about to reach his peak next year at 27. Bregman is just 22. The surplus value on Bregman will be much higher than Springer.
