QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jan 16, 2016 -> 11:53 AM) Imagine the meltdown if Cespedes signs elsewhere and the Sox do not sign anyone. The torches will light up the Chicago skyline. The comments will be funny to read so there's that. I would rather them stay put and give avi another season rather than sign fowler out of desperation and lose the draft pick. In my opinion fowler isn't worth it and won't put you any closer to serious contention this year and we would hurt ourselves for the future. Would rather sit and let things play out

http://mlb.nbcsports.com/2016/01/16/where-...bcs&ref=yfp I agree with this article, If he is truely open to a short term deal, I see more teams getting into the battle for him and we will get outbid for him.

QUOTE (Real @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 10:13 PM) @Big_Hurtin problem is the market for these 3 OF isn't very big it's just that their agents know this and are weighing on the fact that teams like the sox and orioles and Mets need one of these guys amd are waiting for them to blink first Don't really see the mets being in the market for another OF

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 05:55 PM) Why does a longer wait hurt our chances but not the chances of the other teams? Just my opinion. The longer Gordon takes the more likely it feels like he uses us for more money and returns back to KC. As far as Cespedes goes, the longer that takes the more other teams may feel like they can come back into play for him. Was hoping the Abreu connection with him would seal the deal and give us an advantage over most other teams if the money was at or around the same as other bidders. We have been linked to him a little too long for my comfort, just have that feeling the sox like to work quietly behind the scenes on bringing someone in not airing their laundry out for everyone else to see. Just thinking cautiously that's all.

QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 05:08 PM) It seems like if they wanted to be here they would have been here by now but I could just be going crazy from the wait. This. seems like the longer this goes on the less likely we are to land one of them

QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 04:55 PM) You guys remember the feeling you had when the Bulls were trying to sign a FA (both times) and had the money but just could not get them to come here for whatever reason? As a fan you kind of had that feeling that is what was happening even though we heard they had mutual interest in a lot of cases. In the end it didn't turn out too well. I kind of get that same feeling with big FA's the Sox are targeting right now. I could be totally wrong, I know. I was just talking to another sox fan last night about this feeling. It's definitely a roller coaster ride, just want it to be over regardless if we land one of the big 3 or not

QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 10:54 PM) No, the Sox are in on both Gordon and Cespedes. Seems like Cespedes is heating up quickly or is being used as leverage to pressure Gordon. This guy is a phony and given the names he drops he might be from SoxTalk. Yeah I don't think it was a coincidence he threw latos name out on the same day someone here saw a tweet about him...

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 10:04 PM) He said we signed Upton The guy also just said we signed mat latos....I'll believe cespedes to the sox when someone legit comes out and says it https://mobile.twitter.com/rickslat123/stat...021160284852226

I think the obvious two positions to address would be finding a shortstop or back end of the rotation starter if they land one of the big 3 outfielders. If they could somehow bring alexi back on a one year deal I would consider that a successful offseason with everything else they've done.

Don't have a link to it but apparently Lana posted a picture of the European title to her Instagram account and then immediately took it down. A friend tagged me in the picture on Facebook. Anyone else see this as well?

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 10:44 PM) That wasn't him in the front row the whole show? haha! i was pointing him out to my buddy all night long

Anyone having streaming issues?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 07:33 PM) WCIU needs to fire their sound man Kinda nice not to have to hear hawk go on and on for a change

bernstein gets old very quickly, he thinks everyone is an idiot and if you do not agree with his theory then your a dumba** I enjoy listening to the WB Club on Saturday Mornings with Grote and Rosenbloom. They are pretty entertaining! I don't care for much on ESPN 1000 although Waddle and Silvy can be bearable at times.

With first base open don't you walk fielder here?

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 09:51 PM) Oh HELL no. Do NOT let that option vest. I Disagree...reed has been too shaky, these games mean too much.

Just tuned in...how has liriano looked so far tonight?

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 27, 2012 -> 10:39 PM) Phil Humber against the Rangers lineup. Cant wait to see that one. Bullpen better be ready to go in the 3rd....

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jul 27, 2012 -> 10:36 PM) Not as nervous as I would be if Myers wasn't here. He was a huge pickup, idc what he does off the field as long as he helps us win games

Anyone else getting nervous about reeds outings as of late? Ugh...

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 27, 2012 -> 03:06 PM) This Greinke s*** is all a KW smokescreen. He's going to land a player like Garza or Shields who will be under team control for 2-3 years - not some 10 start rental he has to bid for that has already stated he hates pitching in the Cell and has a history of being a nutcase. i agree with this, garza seems like a KW type of move, get him "injured" cheaper than he would have before hand and hope he comes back in a week or so fully healthy

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 27, 2012 -> 03:00 PM) He is under team control for another year, so it would be pretty close to impossible to get him through the lower teams on waivers... On the other hand, they might be scared off by the injury risk or not have the money to pay Garza next year. Interesting situation for many teams like the A's, Rays, Orioles, Indians, etc. I was talking about taking a chance on him before the trade deadline ends i think if he is dealt it will be before the tuesday not during waiver period...if it is just fluid build up and the MRI was good to go, would KW trade for him now hoping this issue goes away in a week or two now knowing that he can get him possibly cheaper

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jul 27, 2012 -> 11:27 AM) @davandyck: Matt Garza MRI shows fluid, not expected to pitch until after trade deadline” Looks like Matt Garza is off the trading block for now. Dammit I wanted the Braves to get him so they would be out of the Greinke sweepstakes. Does KW try and get him for cheap? Seems like a KW type of move to me.

and there is another walk for Dunn

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 02:09 PM) And the best place for an all or nothing bat like this is the 3 hole? im not arguing where he should be placed in the lineup, if it was up to me the 3-5 would be Rios, Konerko, Dunn....all i am saying is he is this season Dunn doing what you paid him to do
