Competitive Balance picks announced
QUOTE (steveno89 @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 02:23 PM) Sox have been shafted by CBA picks for ages now. No other sport grants certain teams extra draft picks and pool money every year like mlb does, regardless of record. This rule is basically "f*** the White Sox, Mets and A's"

These remain the dumbest part of baseball

Giancarlo Stanton traded to Yankees
It'd be borderline insanity to lock up this much money, but... C - Collins 1B - Abreu 2B - Moncada SS - Anderson 3B - Machado LF - Stanton CF - Robert RF - Jimenez DH - Garcia Would be a pretty fun lineup

2017 Offseason White Sox News, Notes, and Tweets thread
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 10:41 AM) If one goes, there is no reason to keep the other... unless you get a really nice extension. Abreu as the elder statesman/mentor makes perfect sense. Also, yeah, extensions.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Nov 19, 2017 -> 07:27 PM) Hang in there, Greg; they're unlikely to trade those two sluggers. Abreu I think they keep, Avi I think is sold high

Kevin Maitan and others
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 08:05 AM) We have no money. Eh, he's got $300k. I mean full court sales pitch

Omar Vizquel
Already making moves to court Maitan, I see.

Kevin Maitan and others
Hahn needs to full court press for Maitan.

UCLA basketball players arrested in China
QUOTE (Tony @ Nov 19, 2017 -> 12:57 PM) Now that the three basketball players are out of China and saved from years in jail, LaVar Ball, the father of LiAngelo, is unaccepting of what I did for his son and that shoplifting is no big deal. I should have left them in jail! https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/...303108146892801 Stay classy, Mr. President. Sigh

UCLA basketball players arrested in China
Actually agree with Greg. Ball and the others should thank Trump. But Trump also shouldn't be demanding an apology.

Sox acquire Thyago Vieria
QUOTE (ptatc @ Nov 17, 2017 -> 10:29 AM) the rating scale of how hard he throws each pitch should be the Thyagometer. Rotten Thyagoes

40-man roster decisions and the Rule 5 Draft
I'd really prefer they protect Micker if they have the space. Not much reason not to.

So apparently Roger Stone leaked this last night. What the hell?

Giancarlo Stanton traded to Yankees
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 15, 2017 -> 02:35 PM) And yet we wound up being able to trade him for a demon of the ancient world. Da bess demon of the ancient world*

Love this. Great use of cap space we can't use.

The Sexual Assault problem
Franken calling for an investigation. Published a full apology. At least he's owning it. He'd have the easiest case of "political attack" ever, but he's owning it.

The Sexual Assault problem
QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 16, 2017 -> 10:42 AM) Well there goes my idea of Al Franken for President. The photo doesn't appear like he is touching her but the thought is obviously wrong, and what he did earlier that evening was wrong. All these assholes need to be exposed. Same on Franken 2020
-
The Sexual Assault problem
Franken accused of sexually harassing a morning radio anchor. The photo out there is pretty awful.

Eloy Jimenez is destroying the DWL
QUOTE (Wanne @ Nov 15, 2017 -> 03:02 PM) Ex-Cubs prospect lol...geezus. Search engine optimization. It gets them more clicks including that in the title.

Shohei Otani is likely coming to the USA
QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Nov 15, 2017 -> 08:02 PM) Alright this is mostly just bulls***, but let’s say this is his team selection process: 1. Wants to hit most days when he’s not pitching (DH required) => eliminates 15 NL teams 2. Wants to join non-established or rebuilding team => eliminates HOU, NYY, BOS, CLE, MIN, KC, BAL, LAA, TEX 3. Prefers large city with respectable Japanese population => eliminates TOR, TB, DET 4. Prefers organization with both stability & upside => eliminates OAK 5. Prefers club without expansive history of Japanese players => eliminates SEA Theoretically that leaves us as the winner if money truly doesn’t matter! I'll give you credit, this is the best thought out explanation.

Dan Hayes Leaving White Sox Beat
I liked Hayes. He was fun in a goofy way.

Athletics interested in Avisail Garcia
QUOTE (yesterday333 @ Nov 15, 2017 -> 12:46 PM) Is Barreto and a lotto ticket too much to ask for an all-star? For a one time all-star off a career year, yes

Athletics interested in Avisail Garcia
QUOTE (GenericUserName @ Nov 15, 2017 -> 12:30 PM) The guys being discussed as possible targets for Avi aren't org filler. They are guys that actually have a chance to be quality big leaguers or more. Most of us are talking top 100 or high ceiling guys
