I think Baseball Prospectus is a candidate for regression.

Wow I didn't know Delwyn Young was in camp.

Don't stop QUOTE (jhonnydanks @ Mar 6, 2012 -> 12:33 PM) get it get it.

Didn't Jose Contreras lose a bunch of weight during one offseason while he was here? I remember him struggling after that. At the time, I thought the weight loss backfired.

Eh... I'd rather the Sox pass on this guy anyway. There would have been hell to pay if they signed him for that much money only to have him be a bust.

...even though Soler probably won't make it to the big leagues until 2014...

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 7, 2012 -> 11:45 AM) I think it's time to pass on Cespedes. The liklihood he lives up to his deal is quite low. Agreed. Looks like he'll be playing for Ozzie down in Miami. Now it's time to focus on Jorge Soler.

QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 1, 2012 -> 11:13 AM) Can we get away with a bench of Johnson, Flowers, Lillibridge, and Martinez? Sure you can if the expectations for the team aren't that high.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say De Aza. Either him or Rios. I think Rios will have a huge bounce back year.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jan 25, 2012 -> 01:23 PM) I think people make too much of young people doing stupid things. Not saying his behavior was acceptable, but people can change over time and maybe he's finally grown up. None of us really have a clue, but hopefully the Sox did their homework and feel that he's actually matured. Either way, give him a short leash and there's essentially no risk with this signing. You should have been around when the Sox signed Lastings Milledge. This guy makes Milledge look like Jim Thome. But who knows... maybe he has matured and will be an asset. I'm hoping so.

It's a shame that Prince Fielder isn't on speaking terms with his old man anymore. Last time I heard, there was a huge rift.

Does anyone on the Sox coaching staff speak Spanish fluently? I hear Coop does, but does anyone else? This could be a concern.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 9, 2012 -> 12:28 PM) The problem is that his performance iwht the bats the last couple years simply doesn't justify a major league contract. True. And you can't say that he makes up for it with his glove either.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 9, 2012 -> 09:44 AM) Makes the Jackson/Stewart trade look that much better. I hope he signs on somewhere else. He seems like a good guy.

I too think Alex Rios will have a bounce back season next year. There's no way in hell I would trade Rios for Soriano. I don't think Kenny Williams would either.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jan 6, 2012 -> 12:35 PM) Dunn might have suck last year but at least he gave effort.. I wouldn't want another lazy ass player on the Sox. Who on the Sox is lazy? And why would you say that Soriano is lazy?

Man out of all these pitchers Kenny Williams is acquiring some of them are bound to pan out.

So an outfield of Viciedo in right, Cespedes in center, and DeAza in left? Sounds very interesting...

If the Sox did land Cespedes, he would start off in the minors, right? I wonder what level he'd start off in.

Good lord that is depressing.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Dec 14, 2011 -> 12:28 PM) God darn it, Mr. Do, you use your tongue prettier than a twenty dollar whore. I'm almost 100% certain that Milk is actually Stainer from She's Out of My League.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 12, 2011 -> 08:10 PM) I'm sure Ozuna, Vizcaino, Marte and Blum are on the way. Borchard already played for the Marlins, albeit briefly. Alex Fernandez comeback? Cotts and Politte? Hermanson? Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if they went after Contreras, with the Latin/Cuban community down there. They already had Livan Hernandez. Somebody get a hold of El Duque. The Marlins might need three outs with the bases loaded.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 12, 2011 -> 07:59 AM) Yep. Kenny made a big mistake by not having them dealt at the winter meetings... Will everyone be happy if Kenny did land this Betances guy for John Danks? How good is Betances?

I bet the slogan next year will be something simple like "White Sox: REBIRTH"
