QUOTE (Jake @ Jan 25, 2013 -> 10:15 PM) I don't know if I should be happy or pissed off. And I thought we had the best medical staff in the sport. Nobody was able to tell Paulie that he wouldn't be on the shelf for that long?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 25, 2013 -> 12:30 PM) Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal Lindstrom official with #WhiteSox. One year, $2.8M plus $4M club option for 2014. $2.25M in bonuses and escalators based on games finished. Bonuses and escalators in Lindstrom deal with #WhiteSox are over life of deal. Me like.

Since Deng is hurt, he might not participate in the ASG. Thibs is endorsing Boozer as a replacement...I never thought I'd see that.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 25, 2013 -> 11:38 AM) WTF http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-leag...45464--mlb.html Pavano should just retire already.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 25, 2013 -> 09:48 AM) His game is entirely dependent upon his average and I really don't see any reason he shouldn't hit. He's also a good defender, but not 1.7 wins good. A 3-4 win player is about what I expect, but he's been streakier than most. Kinda like Rios, just not as extreme.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 25, 2013 -> 04:24 AM) Jesus, I can't believe I have to do this. 1.6 WAR in 2011 5.9 WAR in 2012 .687 OPS in 2011 .796 OPS in 2012 He also put up .32 of a win playing 92 innings (essentially 10 games) at SS, .11 of a win playing 33 innings at SS, .12 of a win playing 73 innings at 2B, .16 of a win playing 163.1 innings at 3B. He was good defensively literally everywhere last year. Nevermind that he was incredibly mediocre defensively the year before. It's a good trade for both teams. First I thought you were bashing Prado for being inconsistent...then you lay down the good trade for both teams line. I'm confused.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 24, 2013 -> 10:47 PM) If Prado's getting what Justin Upton got from the braves, yes, he's overpaid. If we're talking 4/$40 him, that's a good deal for him and I'd do that kind of money. I'd say he's more likely to get 4 and 32.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 24, 2013 -> 10:16 PM) A 3 win player's worth like $13 million a year. How much would they be "overpaying" him? For a guy like Prado (not flashy), you technically don't want to pay him WAR market value, IMO. I don't view market value as just using WAR dollars alone, you also have to take into consideration what the market itself thinks of a guy like Prado, whose value lies mostly in defense and not offense.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jan 24, 2013 -> 09:19 PM) also the reason the trade happened is they're going to extend Prado. They'd be overpaying him IMO. Prado's a 3 win player.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jan 24, 2013 -> 06:24 PM) Noah and Deng are All-Stars I thought we'd get only one all-star, instead we get two. That's good I guess. The East is really weak this year.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jan 24, 2013 -> 04:24 PM) Shaun Marcum to the Mets in 1 year deal I have an unreasonable love for Shaun Marcum... I have no idea why... but I've always kept an eye out for him fantasy baseball wise, because he always gives great value for his draft position. Should do well in Citi Field. He's hurt way too often, but definitely good when healthy.

QUOTE (earthshiner @ Jan 24, 2013 -> 04:07 PM) http://www.rotoworld.com/player/mlb/647/player I saw his name in the wbc email about which sox are going. Confused me for a while. Defensive prowess...haha sure.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 24, 2013 -> 02:09 PM) can we just repeal the awful DMCA already? http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/unlock...-rule-insanity/ Those rules make no f***ing sense. I bought the damn device, I can do whatever the hell I want with it.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 22, 2013 -> 05:31 PM) We're comparing him to Kirk Hinrich, and Nate's hit some big shots. Kirk does the same thing to a much higher degree with regards to holding the ball. PER Nate Robinson - 16.7 Rip Hamilton - 13.4 Kirk Hinrich - 10.5 Marquis Teague - 5.8 Oh, and for s***'s and giggles, Deron Williams has a PER of 18 and Ty Lawson has a PER of 14.6. Nate's been pretty valuable this year to a team that greatly lacks scoring. Nate's only considered valuable because Kirk is f***ing awful. Defense or no defense, when you put up a TS of .450, you don't deserve 25 minutes a game, nevermind starter's minutes.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Jan 22, 2013 -> 04:18 PM) Jared Cook, Brandon Meyers, Dustin Keller, Martellus Bennet, and Dennis Pitta are the top tier guys...Anthony Fasano, Ben Watson, Dallas Clark are the older, still interesting guys.....Evan Rodriguez is the guy that deserves a chance to be utilized in some fashion. I love me some Dennis Pitta.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jan 22, 2013 -> 12:14 PM) just for s***s and giggles, i'd be interested to hear what your daily sodium intake is like. might be a fun experiment to track your food for a couple days. can be eye opening. I already do, fortunately. I take in anywhere from 3000 to 4500 (3500 on avg) mg in sodium, which is a lot.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jan 22, 2013 -> 12:11 PM) Chipotle is the healthiest fast food there is. Free range chicken, grass fed beef, organic local veggies. Good stuff. only problem is that sodium content so... ya know... going ALL chipotle may not be the best idea. I'm aware. I usually have Chipotle once a day. I'd love to have it twice, but then it feels kind of forced.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 22, 2013 -> 11:47 AM) This is very big - I keep a 42oz cup at my desk at work at all-times. A lot of people mistake being thirsty at work for being tired, because the symptoms of slight dehydration can cause irritated eyes and lethargy - then said people go for a 5 hour energy or a cup of coffee, things that can make the dehydration worse. I'd love if everyone here, the next time you're feeling groggy at work, chugged a glass of water instead of grabbing coffee or some other caffeinated beverage. It'll blow your mind how much you wake up. There's a great app on the Play Store called Water Your Body that helps you keep track of how much water you drink, reminds you to drink water, and also gives you a daily goal based on your weight. Great app for keeping hydrated.

I resort to the all-Chipotle diet. Chicken bowl, no tortilla, no dairy. Gets you full and around 600 calories. Somewhat healthy too, I'd like to think.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jan 22, 2013 -> 11:34 AM) SGIV is supposed to be out next year as well. Im probably not getting a new phone for a few years, SGIII does everything I want really well. Turns out that even with a top end phone, I still mainly just use it for phone and music. The GS4 is going to be out in the next month or so.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 22, 2013 -> 11:19 AM) I heard 6, are they going to S this one too? That was a half-hearted joke. I honestly don't know. But it will be interesting to see what they do. If they release an iPhone 6, then it shows a sense of urgency instead of complacency, which is good.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 22, 2013 -> 10:55 AM) So right before the iphone 6 hits in June. You mean iPhone 5S? RIM is also holding some kind of live press event the same day, although I don't think it will be for BB10 (should be out before then).

I really enjoyed Jimmy Butler Kobeing Kobe with the shotclock running down.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jan 21, 2013 -> 09:42 PM) 11-1? Why did we lose 1? 1 championship? Why not 6 like the Bulls? There are guys on this board that can be labeled as pessimistic (especially in game threads, but that's just about everyone). But the majority of them aren't always doom and gloom. I also think the more pessimistic posters on this board tend to be more knowledgeable about the team and baseball in general. However, I think Marty just takes pessimism to another level when it comes to the White Sox.

Rumor has it Motorola will release its X phone in May at Google I/O. Here's to hoping this rumor's actually true.
