Quin

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.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Feb 8, 2016 -> 09:46 PM) You know that's what they're going to say. It's amazing how scared they are to make a deal, either going for it like in past years or blow it up like they should this year. It's crazy cause it felt like Paxson was never afraid to pull the trigger when he was GM.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 8, 2016 -> 01:26 PM) Would the Bulls be able to acquire Griffin or Durant in a trade? I presume no, but probably worth discussing. Maybe if Niko had built off of last year instead of becoming hot garbage.

Probably just become a baseball only fan.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 6, 2016 -> 04:06 PM) Rose will easily score 40 tonight. The rest of the team might score 20.

Bulls starting lineup: Rose Moore Snell Gibson Bairstow Lord help us.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Feb 6, 2016 -> 02:47 PM) LMAO! Who's talking about Reinsdorf? I thought we were talking about the USCF upper deck, whose construction you tried to somehow pass off as "standard"? If you have nothing else to say on the matter, then just don't say anything. It's really that easy. As for Mr. Reinsdorf, since you brought him up yet again, the only thing "unhealthy" is the effect he's had on the White Sox organization throughout his tenure as owner. You know it, I know it. As the Cubs benefitted by getting out from under the long term yet highly ineffective ownership of the Tribune Co. a few years ago, so will the White Sox come the post-Reinsdorf era, whenever that is. Thad, come on man. You mention Reinsdorf in almost every single post. QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Feb 6, 2016 -> 03:07 PM) Except PNC. That is an inspired ballpark. It's like if Wrigley field were more fan centric and not a complete garbage pile. This is an A+ description.

Taj can't box out.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Feb 4, 2016 -> 08:02 PM) I think it's hilarious/unfair that so many of the comments say "Quintana seems to be incredibly underrated. The stats and value say he is an ace. I voted no". Ok....so THEN WHY DID YOU VOTE NO? People are idiots. Because Chris Sale is in front of him.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Feb 4, 2016 -> 12:04 PM) To this day, I don't understand why they didn't build the Cell with the Chicago skyline in the background. Supposedly to keep the address at 35th and Shields.

The renovations made it go from awful to actually pretty good

QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 3, 2016 -> 12:17 PM) Eddy Alvarez is the man. He's the most positive, humbled player. He was friendly, gracious and funny. When he was asked anything about his accomplishments he immediately brought up his mom and dad or Carlos Castillo (old Sox relief pitcher). When he was in the Q&A and Anderson/Fulmer struggled with a question he would jump in and bail them out by complimenting them. He is one of the best pro athletes I've ever been around and I feel like I'm going to struggle evaluating him because I like him so much. I hope he keeps up the great play. I feel better about my #9 rating. Like I said in the Future Sox podcast, if he were younger he'd be a Top 100. And I throw out his age due to his years away from the sport.
