QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 12, 2010 -> 04:26 AM) Wanna know who is on their way out? Look at a position that is signed for 3 years and more. Those players are being shopped. Hard. Dunn and Paulie? But in all seriousness, doesn't that mean: Rios, Floyd, Peavy?

I'm awaiting the obligatory Felix: "Kevin. Love." Shame Kahn can't surround him with talent. Here's hoping Rubio will help. Also, now with his three pointer, Rose will be the best PG by far at the seasons end.

Does anyone else think that a Viciedo/Domonic Brown RF platoon wouldn't be the worst thing to happen?

QUOTE (Felix @ Dec 11, 2010 -> 09:32 AM) Not as awesome as being able to watch Kevin Love for the next few years until David Kahn goes crazy and trades him because he's unhappy with losing and Kahn needs more Point Guards. :smug:

QUOTE (since56 @ Dec 11, 2010 -> 08:16 AM) $2400 on a dog? How many families could use that for child care especially at Christmas. Priorities? Ok animal lovers initiate attack. This was my favorite of your positive posts.

I f***ing love Buehrle.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Dec 9, 2010 -> 04:52 PM) Yeah, it's pretty brutal. Perhaps they're saving money to go towards payroll but hiring a child to do all signage work for them, not to mention a bizarre choice for the featured players. For anyone that can't see the link here's the billboard:

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 9, 2010 -> 03:57 PM) LOL, yeah, because "the ship has sailed" was "news". Cowley's an idiot and Klaw rating the Crawford signing as an A+ and Paulie as a D is idiotic too.

Guys, Cowley is just an idiot that when not at work is stuck in his mothers kitchen trying to run a news service from his twitter that he writes all by himself. When his mothers kitchen isn't available, he just chills in Phil Rogers basement.

f*** the Sawks and Yanks. Kenny is leaving this postseason a bandit.

QUOTE (Pale Sox @ Dec 7, 2010 -> 01:10 AM) Totally.....and it's weird because when you look back at his baseball america descriptions, he's a "plus" defender. They even say he's capable of CF!! This is from December, 2005: Imagine him in CF.....lol I also don't see him going oppo too much unless he's late on a pitch. He has a pure-pull approach. Maybe he's a product of some Greg Walker coaching... I think he was one of the better defensive OF's in college and he was still pretty good until his D'back injuries.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 6, 2010 -> 07:22 AM) Dear Quinarvy Be creative. Write the essay about the wide variety of bacteria and viruses you're exposed to on a typical day in Chicago. Sincerely -Balta Dear Balta The essay was quite possibly the most sarcastic thing I've ever written. And I've written a lot of sarcasm. - Quin

Phil Rogers got owned.

A second team in Chicago would not succeed unless they were good off the bat. I'd go to a few games if they were cheaper than the Bulls just to see NBA action, but they'd never scratch the Bulls in terms of my fandom, Chris Paul or not.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 6, 2010 -> 06:49 PM) The plan for Dayan? I am guessing a quiet evening of ravaging the Old Country Buffet. Something to keep in mind; by the end of Dunn's contract, he'll only be 25.

I'd like to add Fuentes, Downs, Soriano, or Rauch. Heck, isn't Dotel a FA?

Dear Biology Teacher My god you suck at teaching. Not only do you teach our material after you require us to do the assignment, I am currently writing an essay about "My Day in Chicago". This is an AP Biology Class, not a 7th grade science course. This is why my paper is sarcastic. Sincerely, Dropping your class next semester.

QUOTE (chunk23 @ Dec 6, 2010 -> 12:45 AM) Current Derek Jeter? No way But he's a Gold Glove, Silver Slugging, All-Star SS who is making $15M+ a year. What's not to like? Nothing.

So, if we resign Konerko, what are we doing with Viciedo? Does he start in AAA? Trade him? Or do we see if he can play LF or RF and give him some time there, third, and first so that he gets at bats? Maybe even become the right fielder?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 5, 2010 -> 08:17 PM) If you are so sure that Alexei Ramirez is simply "OK," I challenge you to find 5 other shortstops who you would rather have instead of him. And Troy Tulowitski doesn't count. Derek Jeter

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Dec 5, 2010 -> 09:40 AM) That's a fair point, but it is staggering to think that if the NBA took two picks from the Heat and depending on who which they took, the Heat could have only two first round picks between now and 2017. (It should be noted that "The Big Three" contracts expire after the 2015-2016 season. For reference, the initial penalty of the Joe Smith tampering was 5 first rounders and a year voided off Joe Smith's contract. So, going by that precedent, the Heat would lose what few first rounds they have left, a year off Bosh and LeBron's contracts, and since they traded all their picks, they'd probably lose the MLE. If tampering can be proven, then the Heat will be screwed.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Dec 5, 2010 -> 11:27 AM) Kenny seemed really tickled at the idea of getting Roy Halladay to fill out the rotation last year. It wouldn't suprise me if he went all in to get another big-time arm. If Kenny did that then he really, really, really wants to win next year. And is hoping that the revenue offsets the payroll.

QUOTE (sircaffey @ Dec 4, 2010 -> 02:14 PM) Viciedo is on a major league deal though. He makes millions currently and is arbitration eligible soon. Rizzo is team controlled for years. That's a big difference. But Viciedo is also ready right now.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 4, 2010 -> 02:08 PM) We can't trade Sale yet, and even in a few days when we can PTBNL him, we have that mess where he can't be moved out of our system until June but he's actually property of the Padres. Hudson + Viciedo...if Hudson had had a similar August/September for us to what he had with AZ, might have actually been close. I'd have to think Hudson, Viciedo, and Flowers would have been a good deal compared to this, especially after Hudson took off in the NL West.
