In other news, Peyton is scum.

Ugh, I thought we were acquiring a 29 year old for this season. Another failure by this front office.

WAR, WAR never changes...unless plays change their performance.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Feb 12, 2016 -> 01:13 AM) Well once they lose Abreu, Puig, Cespedes, Chapman, Tomas, and Moncada, you had to figure they would slip behind Japan, Korea, Venezuela, and the bunch.

Wonder where Matt will go. I'll be rooting for whoever signs him.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 11, 2016 -> 11:36 AM) I'm in your camp. As the current college student, I'm in agreement here. I can easily see some of the crazier ones hitting like, 100. But if I had to guess the average would be between 4-7

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Feb 11, 2016 -> 02:54 PM) http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/orga...-rankings-list/ BA ranks us at #23. I know they graduated a ton last year but still surprised the Cubs fell to #20. Texas traded a bunch of prospects for Hamels but improved from #11 to #7. Braves went from #29 to #3, pretty impressive. The Shelby Miller deal alone moves the Braves up a bunch.

I'm really not feeling giving up a pick for Desmond. Would much rather do it for Fowler.

QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 11, 2016 -> 07:54 AM) Surprising to see Buehrle having the same WAR as Sale. Especially when there could not be any two more different pitchers.

Gotta love Anderson's work ethic.

QUOTE (2005thxfrthmmrs @ Feb 10, 2016 -> 04:49 PM) In one of the promos he did for Adidas after his first injury, he famously said he'll die on the court for basketball. That's D Rose in his previous life. I miss that Derrick. Even he couldn't save this team.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 10, 2016 -> 06:44 PM) Where it really makes no sense is it costs bad teams that aren't bad enough to have their pick protected, wind up paying a higher price to sign a player than a playoff team. Why should signing a guy cost Baltimore pick 14 and KC pick 25 or so? I think the best way to change the system would be changing two things. 1) Average the top 100 salaries instead of 125. Making it slightly higher will make teams think a little longer before just offer the QO. 2) A team only loses a pick if they sign them for an AAV of more than the qualifying offer. Teams can still gain a pick in the comp round.

You know how we talk about Sale's price last year? Trout and Harper are the only ones higher.

Everyone seems to forget that Derrick used to play through everything. Then he got hurt. He got mind-f***ed by those injuries.

QUOTE (daggins @ Feb 10, 2016 -> 02:23 PM) I actually think RH has done a good job of balancing future and present. Also, have you seen the Angels system? Sorry, I was being sarcastic, because people act like trading away prospects this offseason made us the worst. QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Feb 10, 2016 -> 02:32 PM) What's funny is the Sox system was #12 last year, and people STILL insisted the Sox had an atrocious farm system. Imagine where we would have been ranked had we not traded our #3, #4, #5 potentially in the Frazier deal. Probably top 15. It's because of the envy on this board of the Cubs system.

But the Sox system is terrible!!! Worst ever!!!

Well, the Bulls are f***ed barring a Lazarus like resurrection from Derrick.

Good deal. Dont know who it bodes worse for between Danks and Johnson

Whaaaa

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 9, 2016 -> 10:33 AM) I provided both. Not my fault, "Q" I'll admit, I missed it. Only cause people keep posting the obvious answers. If I did Sox players '94 Frank Thomas and either '05 Contreras (post All-Star break), 2012 Jake Peavy, 1983 LaMarr Hoyt or '93 Jack McDowell

I feel like this might be more interesting if limited to White Sox players historically.
