QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 07:37 AM) Jaylon Smith? I left him off because I think he's a top 10 lock and I think the Bears will be picking in the teens.

I think Fred Hoiberg is fine honestly. It was time to move on from Thibs but this is a very flawed roster. These guys just don't look like they enjoy playing with each other and the pieces just don't fit. Gasol and Noah are both in walk years. Taj and Rose are up after next year. I really wish they would tear it all down and move what they can but they are so stubborn and will never do it. It's frustrating.

I would wait out Cincinnati. Frazier just doesn't have that big of a market. It's been said that the White Sox and Indians are interested. Who else from the AL would be interested? Maybe Texas, LAA, Tampa Bay? What about the NL? I just don't see a huge market.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 08:05 AM) Giles got that much? Damn... these pitchers have more value than I thought. Giles has 5 years of control though. But yes, a bit much for a relief pitcher in my opinion even though the Astros don't really need any of the players they traded.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 05:48 PM) Gipson & Trevathan would be tremendous additions. Take A'Shawn Robinson in round 1 and Shilique Calhoun in round 2 and all of a sudden you're giving an already solid defense some *great* players. I want Reggie Ragland or Myles Jack in round 1. Huge need at ILB.

Less than 200 plate appearances but he was good vs LHP last year: .293 .341 .484 for an .OPS of .825. He has a wOBA of .354 and a 128 wRC+. 105 lifetime wRC+ vs LHP.

QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 07:25 PM) exactly, i wasn't going to go there. since my ummm hatred may have cloud my opinion. He's doing his job. The man would be my agent if I were in MLB

QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 07:17 PM) and is that worth 25 mil per which Davis group turned down??? It's Boras. Gonna be awhile.

If the Sox were willing to move Tim Anderson they could probably do better than Frazier. I know the win now crowd is ready but I couldn't trade Anderson for two years of Todd Frazier when you have other glaring holes on the roster.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 02:25 PM) Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 32s32 seconds ago Source: #Mets agree to trade Niese to #Pirates for Walker, pending medical reviews. I bet Niese is really god in Pittsburgh. Searage and that defense get the most out of guys. Walker is solid but Pirates will go with Josh Harrison at 2B, Mercer at SS, and Kang at 3B

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 02:17 PM) Phil Rogers ‏@philgrogers 2m2 minutes ago Nashville, TN Source: Reds have asked White Sox for No. 1 prospect Tin Anderson in talks regarding Todd Frazier. Seems an unlikely match. #Reds WhiteSox Yeah I can't see them doing that.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 01:32 PM) How bout getting semien back for a pitcher? DH spot isn't open.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 01:17 PM) Not sure if this has been addressed in this thread, but why is Oakland trading Lawrie? They picked up Jed Lowrie to play 3B

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 12:53 PM) He's my favorite non sox player, therefore don't want to see him on a rival. I've always liked the guy. The Cubs aren't a rival.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 10:31 AM) Have been told White Sox checked in on numerous impact third base and outfield trade options. Return starts with Anderson and even Quintana https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/674626089172508672 Not surprised. I would imagine those names are Carlos Gonzalez and Todd Frazier

Sox not ready to deal yet according to Susan Slusser....... http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/12/whit...wrie-trade.html

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:42 AM) I would like to see Avi go back to AAA and work on some things. I guess that's just me wishing he'd breakout. He's always going to be poor defensively though. I just fear that he'll never hit enough to justify bad defense.

I would do Engel and Avisail in a heartbeat

Why are people bringing up Josh Reddick? His name hasn't been mentioned anywhere.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 12:23 PM) Question, with the emergence of Willie Young and Lamarr Houston in the last 3-5 weeks. Do you keep them for next year? I think if they just add some more down lineman like Derek Wolfe, Malik Jackson, or Muhammad Wilkerson, it would make the pass rush better. Not to mention that Goldman has been an absolute beast this year. Addressing the DL in the FA and keeping Young and Houston could make the Bears focus on ILB, secondary, and OL help in the draft. In terms of cuts, I think Rolle and Bushrod could/should be cut. Mike Daniels of the Packers should be their #1 target in free agency. He's been studly this year. I also expect Danny Trevathan to be a Bear.

It will be a little sting but I'll guess that it's Jacob May and Jordan Guerrero.

I know that LaRussa and Duncan love Shelby Miller though. That part hasn't really been mentioned.

Diamondbacks are drunk. And John Hart knows how to build a baseball team.

QUOTE (dpd9189 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 12:14 PM) There would be more than just Rodon. If it was only Rodon I'd pack his bags and drive him to O'Hare right now. I think I'd rather have Rodon than Fernandez going forward honestly.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 10:58 AM) Hahn did speak about if they signed player the Sox would be looking for a back loaded deal beyond '16 when Danks/LaRoche contracts are done but that different than what Knightengale said about LaRoche and why the Sox are looking to trade him. I don't doubt the Sox are looking to move LaRoche, I doubt Knightengale's reason seeing as how the Sox will have to eat money in order save just a bit. Trading LaRoche is about opening up the DH spot. Open up the DH spot and the Sox have more flexibility. Melky goes to DH, RF goes to Thompson, LF goes to Avi or FA/trade bat. Hell, the Sox would be able to platoon Avi/Melky at DH. I like LaRoche as a person but he isnclogging up the DH spot and suffocating the teams flexibility. Eaton should go to LF and Trayce to CF in they could somehow move LaRoche.
