QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 15, 2017 -> 06:28 PM) I’m not going to complain if they get him, but I’m rooting for ‘the field’ here. Too risky. Keep the prospects. Moncada and Jimenez are going to be our superstars anyway. It's risky, but the upside is three superstars with Robert in the wings.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Dec 15, 2017 -> 04:48 PM) There are some legit complaints but a huge number of those are people upset about Luke dying and not being a true hero. Seriously, I wouldn't do it and I read a few but if you read the reviews from those on RT that didn't like it it mostly about Rian Johnson killing their childhood because Luke wasn't what they expected him to be. Luke kinda had to die, but it was a s***ty death. It'd be like if Captain America's likely death is straight from the comics and is a Thanos backslap.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 15, 2017 -> 01:08 PM) He does. He doesn't care, and he knows that's a bulls*** dismissive excuse. He and the fine folks at The Daily Caller find no problem with this cause you can still (illegally) use the Harlem Shake in your videos.

I have this above Phantom and Clones. Far below the rest.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 08:19 PM) I'm pretty sure Kopech was not a top 10 prospect when he was moved. Moncada was 1, Kopech was top 25 and Devers was around 50-75 range if I recall. Devers and Kopech were both in A ball prior to that offseason of the trade. MLB had Devers like #14

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 06:10 PM) Bob Nightengale @BNightengale 43s The Baltimore #Orioles ready to trade Manny Machado - but fear a back channel to the Bronx. The #Whitesox offer not nearly as strong as rumored usatoday.com/story/sports/m… Wut

X-Men theme plays in Infinity War after credits scene.

If Machado has "only hit" for two years, I'd really like to see what an average player is. He's hit well every year since he was 20. Even last year's down year saw great power numbers. Then throw in his defense.

If the Sox don't think they have the best offer, that makes me feel better because they know if they put down one of their big chips, it is the top offer.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 09:23 AM) Orioles are still talking to teams about machado but sources say there’s no expectation/belief MM/agent would grant negotiating window for acquiring team at present. So would be 1 year player. Heyman Keep away from Gio!

Kopech or Giolito is insanity. Pure insanity. Even with an extension. Kopech, Giolito, Hansen, Rodon all need to be off the table. Lopez as well likely. Cease and Dunning, sure, with an extension in place. But Kopech is a damn near fireable offense.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 13, 2017 -> 07:52 PM) There obviously is a tier you could trade for him Saladino straight up

I imagine if the Sox want him bad enough, he's theirs.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 13, 2017 -> 11:58 AM) Agreed^ Some of these packages are way too much for a player with one year of control remaining, even in light of a possible extension. Players like Dunning and Cease have very real trade value, and guys like Fulmer/Anderson/Sheets should not be seen as players we can easily cast away. Like I said, it'd be my absolute max offer. Wouldn't be comfortable with it, but if Hahn though Machado was the lynchpin to getting a ring, I could stomach it.

Even with extension, highest I would go would be... Anderson, Fulmer, Cease and Sheets. Based on Stanton's return I'd probably end up actually offering Avi, Fulmer, Dunning if we could convince Machado to man third. He's coming with a massive literal price tag.

Roll f***ing' Tide

With a whopping 1 percent in, Jones leads 321 to 103. Shiiiit. In a normal off-off-year election, that might be the entirety of ballots cast.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 12, 2017 -> 06:40 PM) I mean, if you actually are signing Machado to an extension you get rid of Fulmer and Dunning in a heart beat. Anderson is the only would I'd be shaky about moving. Agreed. I think I'd end up being fine with Tim being part if we're truly sold on Yolmer/Burger at third.

QUOTE (Sockin @ Dec 12, 2017 -> 05:32 PM) Not really news or anything but Austin Jackson is doing an AMA on r/baseball and had this to say about his time with the 2016 Sox. Someone asked him about the clubhouse's reaction to the Sale jersey cutting. "I absolutely loved my time in Chicago. One of the best organizations I've played with. Enjoyed the clubhouse, the team was a really close-knit team. As far as the Sale incident - I actually wasn't there for that, I had surgery for a torn MCL. But when I went back, everybody seemed to be laughing about it. I don't think anybody took it to heart." https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/...winter/dr5iizy/ Man, that team was really fun for a month.

And because we're living in a poorly written political thriller... http://www.al.com/news/index.ssf/2017/12/i...court_rule.html Alabama's Secretary of State, who believes you have to earn the right to vote, got an injunction filed so that he can destroy voting records from tonight. He also went to Russia last year to observe their elections and had glowing reviews. Somehow, that is not an Onion article.
