Reinsdorf I believe was quoted saying I don't think we'll get Harper or Machado. That was during the winter meetings. We have the money and the fact that nothing has been said, other then the token "he wants to play for the Yankees" , "he wants to play for the Dodgers", " he wants to play for the Cubs" makes me optimistic. Harper is a different kind of guy. I think he likes the nemisis role . Meaning, I believe he would love to play against the Cubs and be their nemesis for years. Or maybe the Mets and play against the Yankees. If you watch the YouTube video on him Bryce Harper Begins, 2 things popped out to me. First thing, he is from a blue collar family and he works hard! Second thing, he has a huge chip on his shoulder & loves to be booed! He feeds off being the bad guy. Man he would be the perfect White Sox player!!

Strength + Flexibility = Velocity Mark Prior was on steroids & that is how a guy with perfect mechanics breaks down. Too much strength, you lose flexibility.

For Ricky Bobby, I mean Adam Dunn you go 4 years $30 mil Year 1 -$9/$8/$7/$6. Decent protection for Abreu. Shake & Bake!!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 24, 2014 -> 09:10 AM) Mark Buehrle is one of my all-time favorite White Sox players. He is one of those guys who broke pretty much every stereotype when it came to MLB and pitching. His personality was one of the most memorable of any guy I have ever seen in a Sox uniform. He is a guy you can't help but root for. Agreed!!! Love Buehrle!!!

Ricky Bobby is totally Dunn

Dunn & Danks, not! Paulie, Sale, & Garcia

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Dec 17, 2013 -> 03:45 PM) I thought he grew up a Sox fan. Yes he was a sox fan growing up. Imagine having to play for the Cubs, coming to the Sox, & now, not having to hit either. Change of scenery, a haircut, & some time with Coop could make him into real good pitcher for the sox.

Chris sale as our number 1 & Samardzija as our number 2, this would make us a competitive team. If the new young guys are decent, we could contend faster then some people would expect. I'm not big on getting players from the national league, but I'm sure Cooper can probably turn Samardzija into Cy Young candidate. At least he can keep him interested in playing. Any thoughts what we would have to give up?

We need to sign Gavin back, he is a proven MLB pitcher. He has the best record against the Tigers. He logs the innings & we need legit right hand starters. Other then the Tommy John, he has been pretty injury free. I hope Hahn gets him back. I could see him & Danks having good bounce back years. Plus. I heard he' s ahead of schedule & should be ready for opening day. Also I heard the sox have not checked on his progress or haven't contacted him. If that's true shame on the sox.

It would be a good thing. A lot of merchandise sold after Beyonce & Jay Z start supporting the sox. Maybe it could really get the Sox brand the pick up we've been looking for. First we get a catcher. Then move Beckham back to third & get rid of Dunn. Could make the Sox legit contenders. Cano is an everyday player & a super star.

I Like the trade. If he hits nobody will care. I'd say Dunn & Danks. The Brewers have to eat one year of Dunn & they get a lefty who can pitch in the NL for sure. That would give us one less lefty starter & more pitching balance. With Detroit getting rid of another Lefty bat we need more right hand starting pitchers. If we make that trade we can then sign Dan Haren for 2 years, re-sign Floyd for 2 years, & maybe sign Salty. With Braun only makes 10 mil next year, & 12 mil the following before his salary goes up to 19 mil in year 3 that would allow us to sign some more guys. Sale Haren Quintana Floyd Santigo Not bad? 1 De Aza 2 Garcia 3 Braun 4 Abreu 5 Salty 6 Vieciedo 7 Semien 8 Beckham 9 Ramirez

If healthy 4-5 million a year for 2 years. He's your proven 4-5 pitcher, plus one of the other righties has to step it up. Better value then getting a free agent righty. Plus, I heard he's already throwing & should be ready. Bottom line, money saved by signing Floyd helps us sign some more LH hitting.

Notice the Sox are ranked 24th in attendance, but 2nd in parking revenue!! Some places don't even charge for parking. When I went to Tampa to see the sox they gave us free parking for having 4 adults in our car. Bottom line the sox should give discount for a full car!! It would add attendance & concession money.
