The Wizards for example could've given up Otto Porter+ that would've been better than what the Pelicans gave up. Damn near any team could have beat that. Did Vivek watch a Hield college reel and become enamored?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 19, 2017 -> 10:38 PM) I guess he'll spend most of the games telling stories about the past and commenting on the minor leaguers then. I always thought he hated the idea of broadcasting horrific baseball. Nah, he's the #1 hype man Sanchez, Morel, etc., Hawk loves them all. He actually talks about this on Garfien's White Sox Talk podcast, you should check it out

Gio Gonzalez is basically the only player Kenny traded that amounted to being worth a damn. Unless we're gonna pine for Chris Carter.

Dude.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 09:29 PM) They finished 12 games out of a playoff spot so they needed help, but it's funny to think how different this could all be if Adam Dunn didn't have the worst season in the 140 year history of baseball. It's crazy when you remember he was an All-Star the next season.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 10:55 PM) I really wanna know how Hawk handles the rebuild/s***ty teams the next three years. Doing only road games, he's going to be broadcasting probably 7 losses every 10 games. He doesn't seem like the kind of guy who is interested in following daily progress of minor leaguers. The guy played in the bigs for 20 seasons. He doesn't give a flip about minor league baseball is my guess. Hawk f***ing loves minor leaguers.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 01:42 AM) Theo took over the cubs in 2011 and that's pretty much when their rebuild started. Theo had his work cut out for him due to the horrible contracts Hendry left in his wake, namely Soriano and Dumpster who's contracts made them difficult to trade. Once those contracts were gone, which required them to eat money to be rid of them, the pace of their rebuild did pick up but it still took a good 4-5 years. Trading Sale and Eaton has already put the Sox ahead of the cubs/Astros rebuild pace. Imagine how much further along the Sox will be when Q is traded. There's potential to move even further along if the Sox are able to get some kind of value for Robertson, Frazier and possibly Jones at the deadline. Now add the June draft and July intl signings and the Sox organization will be in really good shape going into next winter. And that's not counting guys the Sox drafted prior to the rebuild. Rodon, Anderson, Collins, Hansen, Fulmer and others have them a good starting point for a rebuild and trading their valuable assets will make it even faster

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Feb 16, 2017 -> 02:42 PM) That press conference would be like 7 different news stories/scandals in a normal presidency. Republicans would start impeachment for a Democrat.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 09:50 PM) Came here to post that nyt article, also this House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) said Tuesday that those who leaked the contents of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s phone calls “belong in jail.” “That’s nine leakers that all belong in jail,” Nunes said. “Those nine people broke the law, clearly, by leaking classified information to anybody. lol

So, this project has been in the works for going on two years of grad school for me, a documentary celebrating the life and legacy of Minnie Minoso. It started as a SoxNet idea and grew from there, now we're proud to publicly unveil it as it enters the home stretch of production. http://www.chicagonow.com/soxnet/2017/02/i...he-cuban-comet/

To get Q it would have to be something like Reyes, Kelly, Perez, Hudson. That's three of their top 4 prospects, but the headliner would be damaged goods and Perez had his issues going into the draft.

QUOTE (shipps @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 11:19 AM) Q is a dude you build around, such a pro. Its a damn shame we dont have the luxury to do that when he is our only real asset left to build for the future. If we can't move him, I'm content having him head this staff. The only thing worse than wasting Q here would be settling for a lackluster return.

QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 13, 2017 -> 10:46 PM) I feel like this is a horror movie. We got one down, but something even worse may replace him. We need to eliminate the host. Hail Hydra?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 13, 2017 -> 09:09 PM) This is, of course, wrong also. He took office in 1999 and was fairly popular for the first couple years, but that was also at the peak of an economic expansion where tax revenues were rising. However, in 2000, the U.S. Economy began a multi year period of recession, slow growth, and repeated financial industry fraud implosions. At that point, Minnesota's tax revenues turned around and many of the things he promised he couldn't find money to pay for. He had been sending tax rebates to people and the money dried up. At that time, he suddenly ran into a budget crisis - he wasn't a negotiator and as a consequence, when the budget had to be constrained, he became incredibly ineffective. His approval ratings in 1999 started over 70%, but by 2002, when he declared that he wasn't running for reelection, his approval ratings had dropped to 40%, and although I haven't found a good reference for the actual poll right before he left, some articles say his approval ratings had dropped into Bush-territory by then. And his celebrity bullcrap wound up taking him away from the state, hurting his ability to have an agenda, and hurting the state. Specifically, here's a Forbes article: Add in a s***ton of racism and some holocaust denial, and that sounds disturbingly familiar. Yo but they aren't Hillary Clinton and sloppy joes give Greg a rumbly-tumbly.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 13, 2017 -> 04:20 PM) Interesting to see that the number was put at 4 more deals they want to make. Q, Robertson for sure. Frazier was one we saw a lot of rumors about. Who was #4? Abreu? Cabrera? I'd imagine Q, Robertson, Frazier and Jones.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 13, 2017 -> 02:24 PM) Did u read that story on yahoo front page reminding us why it's good Hillary isn't president? My head may be in the sand, but ultimately I think history will prove I was right about voting for neither. After watching XFL 30 on 30 ESPN last night I still love Jesse Ventura. History will prove you to willfully ignorant and sanctimonious.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 13, 2017 -> 02:01 PM) Hansen is fun for discussion purposes. Realistically his floor is Jeff Soptic... a hardthrower who can't go anywhere. His upside is Cy Young with an 75/80 fastball and 80 slider, and average control. My irrational love of Hansen tells me he still has the highest ceiling of all our arms, even though I know it's really Rodon and Giolito.
