QUOTE (peppers312 @ Mar 15, 2017 -> 01:25 PM) if the Yanks aren't giving up Sanchez and/or Torres as one of the pieces why are we talking to them again? is their farm system THAT loaded with other prospects the Sox would be interested in acquiring? Frazier and Rutherford is the equivalent of Martes/Tucker IMO. It's a starter.

Yankees deals I'd look hard at Torres/Kaprielian/Andujar/Tate Frazier/Rutherford/Andujar/Tate Rutherford/Judge/Mateo/Sheffield/Tate I don't have a Tate thing btw, just can see the Sox really liking him

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 15, 2017 -> 07:55 AM) I agree it's a problem, however, I disagree that it gets relatively little coverage. Maybe I'm tuned into reading the stories more, but I've read quite a few on the topic in mainstream outlets. You're tuned in.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Mar 15, 2017 -> 12:02 AM) So Donald Trump paid 25% and 38 million dollars in taxes and Bernie Sanders pays a 12.5% tax rate. Time for the biggest fraud in American Politics to start paying his fair share. Rachel Maddow made an absolute fool out of herself tonight. Sigh

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 14, 2017 -> 03:04 PM) That is awesome and I am gonna try that lol Final boss v chickens

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 13, 2017 -> 09:48 AM) Yea, I was caught facing a boss with not enough weapons and I had to reconfigure my plan. I got my strategy guide as a backup and the longer I go, the more I have to refer to it The ultimate weapon

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Mar 14, 2017 -> 12:42 PM) #WhiteSox players who are out of options, according to @mlbtraderumors. https://t.co/v3eZjHQlNm https://twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/841719476378718208 I think this will help Davidson, Liriano, and Ynoa break camp.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Mar 14, 2017 -> 11:45 AM) I really do not get what the Rox are doing. They appear to be hording all the outfielders they can get their hands on but aren't doing much to help their pitching. It's like they are half-assed going for it. Was nice talking about trade packages over the winter but I've given up on the idea of the Rox trading for Q, period. Still believe the Yanks, Pirates, Astros will be in the mix and teams like the Jays, Dodgers, cubs and Braves could become more serious as we get closer to July. I expect a handful of teams to seriously pursue Q as we get into July. They're pulling a 2015-2016 bizzaro Sox

QUOTE (greg775 @ Mar 14, 2017 -> 12:07 AM) This thread is a perfect example of why the mods have to be concerned about the tone of this board this season. It seems to me every thread is going to turn into a "good, now we can move this guy" if a player does well; a player such as Saladino. There will be very annoying game threads with the posters wanting us to lose every game. Far be it from me to tell u how to run a message board. I know people get sick of me repeating themes such as Hillary sucks, Bernie baby, I want to win every game, the draftniks are ridiculous, etc. But Saladino is a very very very good hitter and I think a big leaguer. So if he makes the team and does well every thread is gonna be, "GOOD NOW WE CAN MOVE HIM." I implore the rebuildniks to calm down and re-assess their posts. Is this board really going to be calling for Frazier to be traded every time he hits a home run rather than celebrating the home run and possible victory? Me says YES. Don't like it. Never go full Greg.

QUOTE (striker @ Mar 13, 2017 -> 08:12 PM) I think the Rockies could beat any Yankees offer with Rodgers, Pint, Tapia. Which I'd take over Frazier, Rutherford, + I wouldn't. I see Frazier and Rutherford as high upside bats, whereas I'm not that crazy about Tapia. Granted, Rutherford was probably my favorite in last year's draft after Corey Ray.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 13, 2017 -> 07:40 PM) Does the media ALSO waste a bunch of time on garbage? Yeah, especially the CNN's of the world. Completely a side note but man, I liked CNN until they went bats*** crazy with the Malaysian plane.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Mar 13, 2017 -> 08:09 PM) I thought the reason it was noteworthy is because batting average can't go above 1 while ERA can. So a .300 batting average is equivalent to a 0.30 ERA, not a 3.00 ERA. Ding ding ding.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Mar 13, 2017 -> 06:19 PM) This trade was a total bust for both teams. Tilson has a chance to still be a contributing major leaguer for Duke. Just dumping Duke would have been a win.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Mar 13, 2017 -> 04:11 PM) It's 3 weeks and try again. The history of this type of injury indicates that setting any timetable is foolish. Season hasn't even started and you're already trolling, or just your usual failure to read between the lines I guess. This isn't a pulled hamstring with a predictable time frame for recovery. It's also the type of injury where the player gets the go ahead for full speed and games, and then doesn't react so well to game speed and has to rest more. I'll go ahead and bet you that he doesn't play in a MLB game before June. Take that bet? If you want me to be charitable I'll even go June 15th. Dude, ptatc has an actual background in this profession.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 13, 2017 -> 04:29 PM) I honestly think it is just an anti-American thing, and not so much a partisan thing. QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 13, 2017 -> 04:39 PM) Definitely anti-American, which is why they likely were pro-Trump. Enemy of my enemy is my friend. Easily anti-American. Trump (and Bannon) in power serves WikiLeaks/Russia's interests. As for unnamed sources form the Post, I'll trust Bob Woodward's​ judgement over basically anyone's when it comes to that.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 13, 2017 -> 03:01 PM) CBO report is out. Some choice conclusions: Roughly double the uninsured rate in less than a decade. 52 million uninsured by 2026. Why are they pushing so hard for this bill?? I don't even know how to focus my anger right now. That could obliterate my dad's retirement.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 13, 2017 -> 02:11 PM) They are one of the few with Depth AND Quality. And a severe need of starting pitching. They're the partner that makes the most sense by far.

QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 13, 2017 -> 01:50 PM) It's from The Morning Mix, which actually is a blog on the WP. As for the main Post, they've been going strong. One of two newspapers I'd say are safe - other being the Times.

In before someone else mentions Tatis at #78

QUOTE (hi8is @ Mar 12, 2017 -> 07:08 PM) Too bad someone can't get this in front of Alexi, Abreu, or Moncada. They'd gladly drop some coin. Hope it goes off well and ends up getting bought by some network. All three have been/will be interviewed for it, but it's not something on their radar. Trying to get MLB Network to take it.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Mar 12, 2017 -> 06:31 PM) Well.. Ian Desmond went down with a hand fracture. Abreu + Quintana to Rockies for Dahl, Hoffman, Rodgers, Pint, Tapia, McMahon do it now! Frazier + Q Keep Abreu for Moncada.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Mar 12, 2017 -> 06:39 PM) They would get some share of parts of states surrounding Nevada that don't have teams. Northern AZ, UT, ID, OR, Inland CA. Plus tourists in town will go to a game or two. I doubt tourists go. Way more to do in Vegas.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Mar 12, 2017 -> 01:38 PM) I am telling you the Havana White Sox are in the works. Obama will be one of the principals. Wut

Bharara seems to be the biggest blunder as it sounds like Trump said he'd keep him on. Otherwise the only thing that makes this worrisome is Trump's snail pace at filling every single appointment.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Mar 12, 2017 -> 12:45 PM) I think Sox would be a perfect fit for Vegas if Vegas built a new indoor stadium. Great uniforms to market, in fact the best uniforms in baseball. Have a billionaire owner and you'd have quite a match. Probably would take a while to build such a stadium. You think they have attendance issues now? Move them to Vegas and they'll barely have any.
