Quin

Safe guess is Puig. Nothing else makes sense.

Oh this will be interesting.

QUOTE (PorkChopExpress @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 10:16 AM) Shelby Miller is 25 years old. He has had three solid years, not just one good year. He is arb eligible for the first time in 2016 and isn't a FA until 2019. He is also a pitcher, which some teams value a bit higher than position players. He was drafted by St. Louis in the first round, which has value right there ( ). He had a lot of value. AZ may have overpaid, but not by that much, and we don't know what others were offering for Miller, so who's to say the market didn't determine the cost. What would you have asked for from them for Quintana? AZ's package for Miller is one of the most absurd packages ever. They overpaid by a lot. Swanson + a B prospect would have worked.

QUOTE (glangon @ Dec 15, 2015 -> 02:59 AM) Beltin "Bill" Melton it is then. "Behind the plate for the Sox is the new catcher they picked up in October, Diner Navaho." Oh dear god if they sign Cespedes

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 14, 2015 -> 01:14 PM) Bill Shaikin ‏@BillShaikin 49m49 minutes ago After years saying he never bet on baseball as Reds player-manager, Rose told Manfred he bet on EVERY Reds game: http://fw.to/s85xfdM "For many years, Rose denied he had bet on baseball as a player-manager with the Cincinnati Reds in 1985-86. In his September meeting with Manfred, according to the commissioner's decision, Rose said he had bet on every Cincinnati Reds game. Manfred said he had evidence Rose had not bet on every Reds game." KEEP LYING.

Finally watched The Two Escobars and June 17th, 1994. Both were fantastic.

I guarantee we have at least three people complain about this signing proving that Rick Hahn isn't going for it.

QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 14, 2015 -> 07:40 AM) you know, i know you are making, probably a great point, but this is on me, i can't seem to understand it. fyi i am really sick and nasally. so pls forgive on this. but let me add this to what i perceived you are getting at. getting Davis is a real bad mistake, plain and simple. getting shields, maybe interesting, if and only if, they the Padres sweeten the pot. the sox FO could easily say no to any proposals, No worries bud, you've got it right. And feel better!

QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 14, 2015 -> 07:30 AM) long term no, short term yes, esp added to danks contract, the sox FO will not go beyond what they think the team should spend. esp with 28 mil on the books that can not be moved. so if nothing else is done, do you think the team will do well??? the owners would not be b****ing in fans not coming out??? I said he's a short-term handicap, but that doesn't give a reason to make him a long-term one by taking on someone like Shields or signing Chris Davis to hysterical amounts to fill LaRoche's place.

"LaRoche's $13M this year will handicap us forever!" "Let's go get Chris Davis for $150M" "Let's take James Shields" Guys, in the scheme of things, LaRoche isn't making a massive amount and is in no way a long-term handicap. He's a short term handicap and it would be foolish to make the situation a long term one.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 14, 2015 -> 12:12 AM) If the Royals don't chill out, so to speak, next season, it's time for all teams to fight with them every single series. They won the gawd damn WS. They're not gonna win it every year, in fact, if they lose Gordon and the starting pitching reeks, they probably will dip right away. So if they make a big deal about Lawrie, we should throw at them, fight them, and so should every other team when they pull Royals-type bulls***. They won the title ... it's time to fricking chill out. If they don't chill out they are insufferable asses. Agreed?

I think Swirsk and others will rotate around as they search for a permanent fix.

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Dec 12, 2015 -> 10:36 PM) I was talking to a bunch of cubs fans last night. Just to test the waters, i threw out a random trade proposal of "as cubs fans, would you trade Shwarber for Rodon straight up?" Responding "No" all around. Am I nuts to think they are nuts? QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Dec 12, 2015 -> 10:40 PM) I had a Cub fan tell me trading Schwarber for Q straight up was idiotic. Cubs fans like having a weak rotation. Am I the only person in this world that thinks Schwarber's declining stats through out the season and lack of position are bad omens?

http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2...valry/77174950/ Nightengale: Jason Heyward a good get for Cubs, but NL Central far from a done deal As has been stated in this thread, so much of Heyward's value is tied up in him being the best right fielder in the world. In center, this could really bite the Cubs.

Good one. Never gonna happen.

Fun hypothetical that has 0 chance in happening: If Trayce and Soler were swapped, how would it affect the teams and what would the national and local reactions be? I'd say our reaction here would be that Soler is just going to be another Avi and now we're going to see Trayce grow into a star with the Cubs as helps move Heyward to RF. National media would start talking about Trayce's potential and what led the Cubs to give up on Soler.

Found SoxTalk through Future Sox, was trying to research prospects. Never dealt with WSI. As far as forums go, this is one of the best I've ever been a part of.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 12, 2015 -> 01:44 AM) Videos of him slamming his helmet down, punching a water cooler, huffing around enraged in the dugout answered the "rage-filled" equation. Oh man, we should trade this Chris Sale guy.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 12, 2015 -> 08:11 AM) I honestly believe Theo/Jed are bluffing. Heyward is such a question mark in CF. There is no way they go into the season with Schwarber and Soler as the corner OFs. That D would be bad. I still think Heyward is their RF on opening day and Soler (or Baez) is dealt for a CF. This has to be the case. When I was on board for signing Heyward, it was under the assumption he'd have Trayce or Eaton in center next to him. Now Heyward has to cover for both Schwarber AND Soler?

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 11, 2015 -> 01:51 AM) Yeah, I get that....yet no one is actually providing any points or support behind their reasoning... It makes no sense for the Reds. Eaton is young, but won't be by the time they next compete.
