QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 29, 2014 -> 10:05 AM) I'm home today and a bit bored, and am watching Kap and Haugh. Desperate times. I'll say Haugh ain't bad. I'd go after Chase Daniel. Mainly because Mizzou. What could go wrong? Oh, Gabbert. I want Shane Ray in the draft and to sign Sam.

QUOTE (jamesdiego @ Dec 29, 2014 -> 12:17 AM) All they have to do is go back to the original renovations plans and put a home run porch out in right field. It would fill out the stadium more so it doesn't feel so small inside. It was a great idea and they could always go back to it. If they do it, they wouldn't have to worry about building a new stadium for the next 50 yrs. Boooyyaah Sadly this won't happen with the out of town scoreboard now in place.

QUOTE (Douglas Rome @ Dec 27, 2014 -> 05:54 AM) you guys prolly don't spank your kids either. Most of these modern players are big spoiled crybabies and so rich they could care less. If I was manager, no facial hair, no jewelry, butch crew hair cut and if they don't like it they don't play. thanks, douglas Well, you would be fired ten games into the season after your team went 0-10.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 24, 2014 -> 07:55 PM) Howard-Ariza-Smith should be devastating defensively. The west continues to get more and more ridiculous. Smith has been bad all around this year

QUOTE (hi8is @ Dec 25, 2014 -> 09:22 AM) Give me Zobrist or give me death! He played college ball at ON nearby

QUOTE (Douglas Rome @ Dec 25, 2014 -> 05:30 AM) we need a second baseman, and a third baseman, and a catcher? Why the heck did we let AJ go? thanks, douglas Because AJ is old and bad We have some top 2B prospects Conor ain't bad.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Dec 24, 2014 -> 12:21 PM) Varejao out for season. Torn Achilles. Big blow to the Cavs, specifically their defense. Also, Smith signs with Rockets.

Bummer about Willie Young. Hope he heals up fine but...Achilles injuries are no joke.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Dec 23, 2014 -> 12:19 AM) Also forgot to point out Gasol got the Boozer treatment in the 4th quarter tonight, don't think he was hurt. Thibs was going to put him back in, but didn't want to stop what was working.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 22, 2014 -> 11:39 AM) Ok. Wellp, moving on from this marginally entertaining story.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 22, 2014 -> 09:31 AM) If you'd rather have a 2nd and 3rd round pick over David Robertson and Melky Cabrera, then I believe you are very wrong. I mean, look at this: http://www.baseball-reference.com/draft/?q...ype=junreg& Are you really going to tell me that having Melky Cabrera, a very good baseball player signed to a very fair contract, is a worse investment choice than bringing in a player of that caliber? Most successful with the White Sox: Brent Morel and Addison Reed. J.J. Putz as well, but he didn't sign with them.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 21, 2014 -> 05:17 PM) Or we'll throw in Bryant and Russell....you know, those prospects have zero value until they are proven veterans. Maybe we should have just given anderson for a 1/2 a year of Shark. He hasn't proven anything, while Phegley and Semien are proven solid backups. Sorry, meant to point out that this conversation took place before 2014.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 21, 2014 -> 03:52 PM) That would totally incorrect. Minor league rankings are a major factor in setting the trade value of a prospect. "Hey [insert team scouts name here]. What do you think of Baez? Accept a Quintana for Baez swap? Maybe if they throw in Olt?" "Don't do it Rick. He either hits it really far, or strikes out. He does the latter more." "But...his prospect ranking."

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Dec 20, 2014 -> 12:06 PM) How did Jimmy get so good with his offense in an offseason? He and a few friends rented a house in Houston and they would would work out three times a day. No internet or TV in the house. Just eat, sleep, workout. Also only thing stopping Niko from ROY is Thibs.

Cross of the Rays. Sox might make the most sense of the remaining 19 teams.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 20, 2014 -> 01:15 PM) Not the Angels either. Another domino.

Wait...with those all cut out the Sox actually make a lot of sense.

QUOTE (Tex @ Dec 19, 2014 -> 01:39 PM) As many know I teach high school in San Antonio. As I was walking down the hall I heard a kid greet another friend by saying Hi n****! Now that word is like nails on a chalkboard to a 50+ year old. I spin around to see two nerdy white freshman do a fist bump. On top of it all, today is a fundraiser and they are wearing pajamas. WTF?! Some white kids used it as a slur on Xbox Live, spread from there. I'm still shocked when a white friend will use it.

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Dec 19, 2014 -> 07:58 PM) As a Sox fan, I'd do that without thinking twice if we had the payroll for it. Not so sure the Rays would though. I'd also do it without thinking twice, but the third time around I'd just wonder to myself. Then I'd get over it because the team would be scary.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 19, 2014 -> 04:23 PM) I don't see how the Cubs don't go get Longoria. Rays might be bitter about Maddon? I know it won't happen, but god I wish the Sox could offer up Gillaspie, Anderson, Danish, Montas and Hawkins and see if the Rays bite. Then at the same time I wonder if that'd be an overpay after the insane buyers market that has been going on lately, including with Price.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 19, 2014 -> 11:50 AM) No question. If Sox want to spend big money on a pitcher, he's the choice. What if Rodon shows he's ready in 2015? Is it wise to go with 4 top of the rotation starters? Or should you trade one and firm up weaknesses elsewhere and live with 3 top of the rotation starters? Or not sign Samardizja and use the $20 million to firm up other spots. More information will be available in 6 months. And if TWO of the top pitching prospects show readiness, that will give the Sox a lot of weaponry. When 3 are dirt cheap, yes. Yes it is.

QUOTE (coco1997 @ Dec 19, 2014 -> 12:39 PM) @JackCurryYES Source: Yankees are on the verge of acquiring P Nathan Eovaldi from Marlins for Martin Prado. Teams still talking, finalizing the deal. ...for PRADO?
