QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 03:48 PM) Which Johnson? Micah? Micah's defense becomes so bad he moves to pitcher. Instead of picking people off, he runs them down.

I'd prefer having Cespedes, Alexei and Johnson with Saladino off the bench as a defensive replacement, super-sub and pinch runner.

Watch us go through all this only to trade for Puig

For what Brian said: Brian Bilek ‏@ChiSoxraBBit 47s47 seconds ago Not sure of the motives of the media leaks. Sox are conversant with YC's camp but Gordon talks more advanced.

QUOTE (QuickJones81 @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 01:01 AM) In short, I disagree with the lack of depth comment. Even after these deals there's enough Jordan Guerrero's, Chris Beck's, and Adam Engel's to entice other teams with visions of potential longterm steals without letting go of guys like Anderson, Fulmer, or Adams. I have been rather impressed in Hahn's ability to sell what appears to be high on a lot of these guys to land a bigger fish. A great way to manufacture roster value. That's the key - the farm has definitely taken a hit with the Lawrie and Frazier deals in addition to losing Almonte and Jaye. That being said, they kept the three highest ceiling players, have a few more players that were around the level of Micah and Trayce and there's a big wave of talent coming from the 2015 draft.

Did Bucket confirm Rabbit is a real person?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 02:40 PM) $16 million a year for Scott Kazmir. OK then. As contracts go up, Danks looks less bad.

Agreeing with Kyle and Bmags. The Hall is dumb. There are probably roiders in the HoF. People used drugs to enhance peformance when it was greenies. And you know what? Who's worse for the game - Barry Bonds or Ty Cobb? One used roids and went from a Hall of Famer to possibly the best ever and the other was a racist that beat up a crippled fan.

Same guy said Upton guaranteed a month ago. I want it, but I'm skeptical.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 01:55 PM) Sweeny Murti ‏@YankeesWFAN 49m49 minutes ago Chapman makes bullpen stronger but by how much really? In 2015 Yankees were 66-3 leading after 6 inn, 73-2 after 7 inn, 81-0 after 8 inn. Might as well reinforce it.

Cespedes. Power, exciting player, age, keep the pick and he's Cuban. The Sox Cuban connection is very real - I'd love to see it stay that way.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 03:22 PM) So is Hoiberg a great coach or not? Haven't watched the Bulls that closely. Is he a genius? Or do Bulls fans have concern? Please fill me in on the verdict on Fred after this many games. Verdict: Not enough games to decide a verdict.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 28, 2015 -> 05:14 PM) You mean the Sox instead of Dodgers? ??? Yeah.

QUOTE (southside hitman @ Dec 28, 2015 -> 04:17 PM) Would of gotten a HAUL for both of them at the deadline. Now....not so much. I just don't understand why they didn't take the Reds prospects

Ugh.

QUOTE (peavy44 @ Dec 28, 2015 -> 12:21 PM) they said they offer him contract. And they might have. He might be going over it. Just cause it's offered doesn't mean it's signed. Rabbit and Bucket have good sources. I assume you'd rather they not give us details?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 28, 2015 -> 11:53 AM) Although he says "My father HAS it..." His father is dead. Anakin's force ghost was supposedly going to show up in this. Then we all decided no Hayden Christensen.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 26, 2015 -> 10:29 PM) Loved it, don't care what JJ or anyone says, that movie was influenced by the old EU. No doubt in my mind Rey is a Skywalker and I think she is Bens twin. Could be Lukes daughter though, wouldn't surprise me. Edit: just read the age difference on Kylo and Rey, so definitively not twins but still could be siblings But JJ said it might take from the old EU...

Oh boy. This could be pretty ugly.

Mark Jackson still bitter.

Kyrie and Derrick Rose are basically made from the same glass.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 23, 2015 -> 09:22 PM) I was referring to the Danks/Dunn/LaRoche deals. Though they were under $100 million, they still blew up in our faces. I just hope this wouldn't be the same if they did throw that much money at him. None of those deals are remotely like a huge Gordon contract. If the only thing is "deal blew up in their face" look to the Mariners, Rangers, Cubs, Angels, Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers, Padres, the list goes on.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Dec 23, 2015 -> 12:50 PM) What happens when Eaton needs a break in CF if Shuck isn't there? Avi Garcia, your time is now.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 23, 2015 -> 12:40 PM) Everyone STFU and watch Straight Outta Compton already. *several months ago* But yeah, Straight Outta Compton was fantastic.
