QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Dec 18, 2015 -> 08:29 PM) Nice break down of the FA market https://t.co/tT86crIf2R I'll never understand how De Aza went from a well above average CF to a suddenly dumb baseball player

Also Samardzija proved baseball is the way to go for money.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 18, 2015 -> 05:11 PM) I really dig Rey. She stole the show in my opinion. No idea who she was as an actress, but did a great job on screen. This was Daisy Ridley's first film.

QUOTE (3GamesToLove @ Dec 18, 2015 -> 09:39 AM) It's been three years and people are still clinging to this EU stuff? I promise you that Mara Jade will not be in this film. Allusions to her. I know as won't get them exactly, but they said they might take elements. Like how Kylo Ren is basically Jacen

QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 18, 2015 -> 07:41 AM) This is exactly what I thought. I was watching it thinking Jacen and Jaina. But by the end I thought more Luke daughter, especially with Kylo Ren being Ben and the fact that her mother was a pilot in red squadron during the battle for endor. Yeah, but for all intents and purposes he's Jacen. I wonder if we'll get a flashback to Mara Jade as Rey's mother - it'd explain both why Luke vanished and why Rey is even more powerful. Also HAN WHY DID YOU GO ON THE f***ING BRIDGE.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 18, 2015 -> 03:15 AM) Nah, I am going with Rey (or is it Rei?) being Han's daughter, Kylo Ren's sister. I've got my reasons. I thought we were getting the Solo twins, for all intents and purposes we got Jacen Solo. But Leia would have said something at that point, so I'm going with Luke's daughter.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Dec 18, 2015 -> 01:39 AM) I loved it. Such a fantastic stand alone movie and it does a great job setting up the rest of the trilogy. I'll save the rest of my thoughts for when spoilers are allowed but I couldn't be happier right now. Spoilers are allowed.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Dec 17, 2015 -> 11:37 PM) It was pretty freakin great. Only disappointment was I thought the villains were a bit weak, didn't hold a candle to the intimidation that Vader and the Emperor had. The dialogue in this movie may have been the best in the entire series. I disagree. Kylo Ren put every other Force user to shame. I've got a lot of feelings but have to be awake early, so I'll freak out in the morning.

I'd rather sign Alexei and have Saladino as the super sub / defensive replacement / base runner. Saladino is way better suited for that role vs. Sanchez.

Taking a look at all of the issues now facing the Sox - the outfield, pitching depth and who the hell will play shortstop. Read more: http://www.chicagonow.com/soxnet/2015/12/a...rie-whats-next/

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Dec 17, 2015 -> 08:30 AM) Really liked this trade until I heard his walk up music is Frank Sinatra. Does Hahn even know what he's doing! As long as he makes it My Kind of Town, I can deal with it. QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 17, 2015 -> 08:35 AM) I understand and agree. I'm just surprised by the sheer amount of people who were saying they were done with the team. It wasn't just one or two, it was practically every reply. They ADORED him.

Guys, LaRoche is not that big of a handicap. One year at $13M. If he bounces back, awesome, but there's absolutely no reason to give away prospects with LaRoche or take a massive deal.

1a. White Sox. 1b. Dodgers ... 3. Reds

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 02:10 PM) Don't say all Q. Your better than that. Me and Jason liked Trayce alot and we were in the FS biz/threads before quite a few people currently posting in this thread. With that said though, I really like this deal. I mean the world is ending type of bemoaning. I loved Trayce's tools and potential. I wanted him to be the starting CF. But Frazier is certainly an upgrade.

I feel like all the people bemoaning Trayce being traded didn't know who Trayce was or barely knew who he was before August. When Future Sox writers aren't trashing this deal, you can try to feel good about it.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 01:11 PM) Hahn just said they are not satisfied Good.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 12:56 PM) David Haugh ‏@DavidHaugh 3m3 minutes ago Jose Abreu's reaction to White Sox trade for Todd Frazier, in English from El Floridita: "He's a good player who can hit. I love it." Side note, good for Jose. He's been working hard to learn English.

"White Sox acquire Mike Trout" "He's too expensive and can't possibly be this good forever. Sox made a terrible deal. God Rick Hahn is awful."

Does Melton mess up Todd Frazier?

We were eventually going to start dealing pitchers, we all knew that. Holding onto Fulmer and Anderson makes this great. Bummed about losing Trayce, but let's be real, we sold high.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 11:14 AM) Apparently Frazier and Ethier will not cost Anderson nor Fulmer. Well, just Frazier.

Holy s***. Definitely need Upton or Cespedes now.

SoxNet breakdown, based on what we got. http://www.chicagonow.com/soxnet/2015/12/w...-heading-to-la/

Trayce headed to LA, along with Micah.

If it's not Puig, I'm a little uneasy unless the Dodgers magically soured on Pederson.
