Springfield Soxfan

Mostly from these mock trade rumors going around and even in today’s offseason thread, all low expectations for Vaughn.

From reading all the other threads, it seems that Soxfans and others around league, seem to be down on Vaughn. I'm not at all, let him hit.

Yes, spend the money that was promised on free agents.

I'm really starting to buy into this logic that there will not be any free agent signings that contain multiple year offers for a long while as owners will likely try to take advantage of the other cash strapped teams who need to dump salary.

Agreed. Got a little too excited there.

Got lost in the excitement. Thanks for not crushing me.

Wow, I’m hopeful because MLB put Sox first in graphic. Today is day of Tori Hunter massacre so let’s get Springer.

I always get nervous about free agent decisions around Thanksgiving due the fact that Tori Hunter signed with the Angels on Thanksgiving eve spurning the White Sox overtures ruined my holiday that year.

Sign Bauer and don’t trade our young core.

Vargas is going to be one of those cases where he is released and claimed five times before spring training.

Agreed, are any one of our favorite Sox blogs going to write a piece summarizing the interview?

Eloy is almost untouchable, if he is healthy for the Oakland series, Sox win..........He signed to a great deal and he is only going to grow. He's a cornerstone and might be the best hitter on the team.

Amen and could not have said it any better!!

Sign free agents, protect the high end farm talent, no trades for rentals. Please JR open up the check book and sign some premium players!

Ok, fair enough. You got me there. Yes. How about I’m not for trading those five for a rental under any scenario.

I am not for trading Vaughn, Madrigal, or any of the three high school pitching studs. No way any of these are worth it for one year of Lynn either. We have waited a long time for this and free agency is the main route to go. Kenny/Rick just need to convince Jerry to spend.

People, do you believe this Springer talk is legit?

Hard to recruit free agent pitchers without a pitching coach. Glad to see.

I do not see anyway Madrigal and Vaughn get dealt. They are cheap and they both were the justifications for those two tanking seasons. Just my gut feeling. Also, is Evan Marshall a free agent? Why are people fearful of losing him? Have a great day and love the posts.

The Sox did offer over $120 million for Wheeler so it is not out of the realm that Hahn gets one of these top ended starters.

Do the Sox strike quickly and make any signings tonight?

Baseball America lists a Victor Quezada and power hitting third baseman as an international target today.

No action can happen on Hinch until the World Series is over, correct? No way on LaRussa, what a smokescreen. I have an older friend who might suffer cardiac arrest if the Sox hire LaRussa, throughout the last 30 years, he always calls LaRussa, Tony "LaChoke" because of 1983. Have a great day.

What a day for White Sox news, but I am most pleased that Crochet is alright!! Crazy happy.

Crochet, Crochet, Crochet..............and Hahn don't say Sox are going on the cheap!
