QUOTE (The Gooch @ Mar 2, 2016 -> 11:56 AM) Hahaha they really put and MVP incentive in his contract? I feel like it's usually in anyones contact. Let's hope Latos and Rollins get all of their incentives.

This is now a Filibuster topic. Meaning the Filibuster rules apply.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 1, 2016 -> 11:57 AM) You are correct, in 2014 he was a gold glove finalist. UZR had him as a top 10 in the league defensive CF. In 2015 he was quite bad. Not terrible, but bad is an appropriate description - UZR had him as the 3rd worst qualifying CF in the big leagues. It certainly remains possible for him to return to his 2014 form. However, counting on that to rescue a defense that is generally terrible around him seems dicey, especially when he's already dealing with injury rehab. But we'll see. Maybe there's a coaching issue there somewhere? He was benched for a day last year while not listening to the coaches regarding positioning. Oh, I'm not banking on it. Austin Jackson still makes the most sense, because I feel like Eaton would excel in RF as he does have a strong arm.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Mar 1, 2016 -> 11:36 AM) His arm is a wet noodle isn't it? Quite the opposite. Just because he's a short, grindy player doesn't automatically mean a wet noodle.

Wasn't Eaton a Gold Glove finalist a few years ago?

Seriously Thad? The man just passed away and you decide to keep ripping him?

QUOTE (LDF @ Feb 28, 2016 -> 11:32 AM) btw, what ever happened to the short lived proclamation of, if the admin or mods has a problem, they will PM that poster...... only rules to suit themselves. How many times have we PM'd? LDF, I can tell you the mods don't have it out for people with differing opinions. We are entitled to our opinions as well. People don't get banned/suspended for their opinions.

I find it funny that Jordan hasn't been crochety and angry towards them. Also pulling heavily for the Spurs in the playoffs now. Yes, it's petty, but I want to see that Bulls team remain unquestioned.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 27, 2016 -> 10:06 AM) Just for clarities sake, what was the White Sox payroll in 1996? I can tell you Albert Belle's deal when adjusted for inflation would be 5 years / $83M in today's money.

After the 2006 White Sox and 2015 Nationals, I've learned that ultimately, no one is the actual favorite to win the World Series.

Doug McDermott gets his second poster dunk of the week. Whaaaaa.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 04:32 PM) Meh. I disagree. Shuck is nothing but a 4th outfielder, Sanchez is essentially Semien 2.0 with better defense and a worse bat, and Danish struggled mightily in AA last year. I wouldn't be sad to see any of them leave to be honest. Danish was also the youngest player in AA.

No one should be mad at the Sox. Fowler taking that deal 100% translates to he wanted to stay a Cubbie.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 24, 2016 -> 01:14 PM) Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 5m5 minutes ago Travis Ishikawa agreed to sign w/ Seattle #Mariners but was confused when deal fell apart. Back w/ #WhiteSox. http://bit.ly/1WJcaZB Huh?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Feb 23, 2016 -> 11:44 PM) I would even include Quinarvy with Beck in the trade, but I'd probably miss seeing his signature quotes too much. However, we should be willing to part with all the extra bags of balls we got back for Beckham from the Angels and in the Alex Rios/Leury Garcia deal as well.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Feb 23, 2016 -> 11:21 PM) Would you trade Beck to the Dodgers for Trayce back? Talk me out of it. That would be hysterically amazing.

QUOTE (LDF @ Feb 23, 2016 -> 09:36 PM) you sure sounds like SS2k5 .... i wonder who this is really??? Shakes. A separate poster. C'mon man, you're better than a conspiracy theory.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 23, 2016 -> 02:27 PM) Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 4m4 minutes ago Lazarito bombshell: U.S. agent drops him after death threat. Story with @jonmorosi:... http://fb.me/2tFgn1rcO Well, that's a snag.

Sox have the 26th pick now - right?

Minor. League. Deal.

But in all seriousness, who is their leadoff hitter right now?

Arrieta comes back down to Earth. Schwarber has a sophomore slump after his downward trend last year. Heyward's defensive value gets negated by bad and worse flanking him in the OF. Lackey gets old. Zobrist's legs give out. Bryant still Ks a lot. Russell keeps the glove, bat doesn't develop. Lester can't pick anyone off. It all gets blamed on a goat.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 22, 2016 -> 12:15 PM) So true. I mean you don't see a first class organization like the Cubs adding Matt Murton, Manny Parra, and Aaron Crow. Or David "Looks like he's 60" Ross

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 22, 2016 -> 10:34 AM) 1st quarter Drose was just ridiculously quick. Ridiculous. He slowed the pace down a bit in the 2nd half, but still had a huge 4th quarter. Interior defense was atrocious and the team yet again choked away and withered with a big lead. I continue to be frustrated with Hoiberg. I see so much stupidity out of the team night in / night out and I feel his laissez-faire style just doesn't work. For example, anyone watch Tony Snell at the end of the 2nd quarter. Rose screaming for the ball, Pau screaming for the ball, nope, we get Snell for like 15 seconds of stupidity. I did notice at times, we were far more crisp offensively, but you have to remember the Lakers are dismal. Byron Scott makes Hoiberg look like a genius and we all know my current opinion of Hoiberg (prove me wrong Fred, please god prove me wrong). Rose is looking fast lately. I'm just waiting for him to pull out a dunk. Also the block/foul when Derrick inhaled Clarkson's soul. Dear God.

Anyone b****ing about this move is solely looking to b****.
