Quin

Jokes on you when he actually does.

I honestly think that Rose seeing them without him might have opened his eyes. It's dumb, but there were quotes from Taj about how he was raving about how Niko opening the floor so much and being so dangerous. He's been conditioned to really not trust his teammates to be this dynamic on offense, maybe now he'll finally learn. Closing lineup of Rose - Butler - Niko - Pau - Noah could be terrifying. Niko and Rose running around the perimeter with slashing ability, Jimmy and Pau posting up, and Noah up top running some ball distributing duties will open up the paint for Pau to go to work. Throw in Snell, Dunleavy and Taj along with situational Kirk/Brooks and you might have something.

QUOTE (LDF @ Apr 1, 2015 -> 08:39 AM) adding Adams and Micker, can that be reasons enuf??? i just don't know, i don't think so. next yr, the sox system is going to get hammered when Rodon is not listed there. We could have said the same about it losing Abreu, EJ, who many liked as a prospect, and Semien. The draft can hold surprises and other players stocks can shoot up (Especially Adams and Hawkins)

Broussard said that Rose is looking to facilitate once he comes back now that he knows he has Niko, Pau and Jimmy all capable of scoring 20. That would be best if he could facilitate for 3.5 quarters then become Point God for the last 6 minutes, if he still has it in him. It's Broussard though, take it with a grain of salt.

I don't see that at all?

Over with magic glasses. Under without.

QUOTE (staxx @ Mar 29, 2015 -> 08:36 PM) Drabek has such a higher ceiling too, would be a horrible move. Yeah, with the circumstances surrounding his acquisition / how little time they had with him, I feel like Drabek is a lock for the roster.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 29, 2015 -> 09:27 PM) DAYAN. VICIEDO. IS. NOT. ON. THE. WHITE. SOX. ROSTER. HIS OPS LAST YEAR WAS .686. HE'S NEVER PUT UP AN OPS ABOVE .744 IN A SEASON. YOU'RE INVENTING NUMBERS THAT MAKE NO SENSE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE ON OTHER TEAMS ROSTERS FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN TO CONFUSE ME. BALTA ANGRY.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 29, 2015 -> 08:24 PM) Wouldn't you need to keep Danks then? Ehhhhh.

I love Mark Buehrle. It'd be ridiculous to think about but I wouldn't mind Sale-Samardzjia-Q-Rodon-Buehrle. All the lefties!

Also don't forget Conor has played plenty of first this Spring.

Neftali Soto

QUOTE (staxx @ Mar 29, 2015 -> 02:51 PM) Basically. I'd take that swap any day of the week too. Same. Still, best of luck to Wilkins.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Mar 27, 2015 -> 09:33 PM) He hasn't gone through 'so many injury issues' this is hours first injury relating to baseball, he just has a small UCL, it was never injured before this. Yeah, one injury is not why you'd pass up on a talent like Aiken.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 26, 2015 -> 04:43 PM) So the "Sauce Castillo" nickname (Nick Stauskas) story is pretty funny. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-ball-don...-180042667.html Beauty.

Micah rushes at defense. All he needs to do is settle down.

I love that Hahn didn't just rely on splashy moves. A lot of those claims and minor league deals could pay off.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Mar 27, 2015 -> 08:56 AM) And wow, Ramirez is entering his 8th year with us? Time flies Unless you are Alexei Ramirez and don't age.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Mar 27, 2015 -> 12:25 PM) how is parking still such an issue and it's clear just from this thread that people are confused, even hardcore fans that post on message boards, about how exactly best to get to the park. Makes me think the Sox have done a really poor job figuring out how to make it simple for folks. They need something better than "take the train". Well, not everyone can park close.

I like it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 26, 2015 -> 03:17 PM) Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 1h1 hour ago Jose Abreu's over/under's for offensive production this season from @BovadaLV: .295, 33.5 HR, 95.5 RBI. Over/under/over. #WhiteSox Over all three. .350, 50, 150

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 26, 2015 -> 06:26 PM) If you are the White Sox, do you take your chances and draft Aiken in the first after agreeing to a well below slot signing and than from there have cushion to be a little extra aggressive in the later rounds (nabbing some guys who fell). I guess the question is how much less would Aiken take and what are the Sox view of his recovery / med's and overall upside. If we were picking later in the 1st round, I'd say it was an easier decision. I also am not sure if fact we don't have 2nd / 3rd round picks makes situation better or worse. Underslot? Definitely

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 26, 2015 -> 03:19 AM) Samardzija taking him down a peg or two would be poetic justice as well. Typo, I meant Baez.

I need Bryant to face Sale and Rodon.
