Quin

It's the return of the Laundry Baby Pimp! (My brother's nickname for Uribe. He once asked my sister-in-law "want to see why Juan Uribe is a pimp?" after he made a cool play, to which she replied "did you just say Laundry Baby Pimp?"

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 8, 2013 -> 08:47 PM) Makes sense Sox want Headley. I really don't want to part with Quintana unless we can somehow get Tanaka. I would do Santiago, Jones, Beck, Thompson and Snodgrass for Headley and Grandal This I would be ok with and I find fair, especially because putting Hector, Jones, and Beck into Petco will only make them better.

QUOTE (dayan024 @ Dec 8, 2013 -> 08:29 PM) Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 1m #WhiteSox want Chase Headley but dont want to part w/ Jose Quintana to get him. Controllable years key. #Padres http://bit.ly/1fbi2pS No s*** they don't want to give up Quintana.

QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 8, 2013 -> 08:03 PM) Homberg is part of the Reds now(trade this offseason)....any trade for Sale would include Bradley. Anything less and the phone should be hung up. Fair enough. QUOTE (Marty34 @ Dec 8, 2013 -> 08:05 PM) He did say a trade would bring back one of the best prospect packages of all-time. What is the best prospect package of all-time? Look at what they gave up for Haren. Multiply that a few times. Here's what might make me consider: Davidson, Eaton, Owings, Skaggs, Trahan, and Bradley.

QUOTE (striker @ Dec 8, 2013 -> 07:46 PM) Sale for Owings, Davidson and Skaggs maybe if you add Holmberg, Eaton, and Bradley.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 8, 2013 -> 07:39 PM) I can't believe Tor moved Gay. I'm convinced the NBA is Masai Ujiri just playing NBA 2k14.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Dec 8, 2013 -> 06:10 PM) The White Sox are not signing Tanaka. The White Sox are not signing Choo. This place is starved for a trade rumor. I would have said the same about JDA.

I'd drink.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Dec 8, 2013 -> 11:39 AM) Santiago + Reed + Beck + Beckham/Semien + Snodgress, would that get it done? Assuming Headley extends, the price would be worth it IMO. Santiago + Beck + Reed + Keppinger. If they don't take back Kepp, they get Jones instead of Reed.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 7, 2013 -> 12:10 AM) For what he is doing for Hawk. I'm speechless. AJP is total class. GMAFB. Speechless? People wear numbers to honor friends/idols all the time. Jordan wore 45 for his brother and I doubt people were speechless then, even though a brother is much closer than an announcer. And AJ is a complete asshole. When he was here, he was our asshole so that made him cool. But don't go around making him out to be some saint that brings winning with him wherever he goes.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Dec 7, 2013 -> 09:19 PM) They're 2-5 without Rose so far. That's bad, but there's still 5 teams worse than that rate. That includes blowing three close games against bad teams too. Those 7 games also come without Butler, who isn't a world beater but makes them better. They're REALLY going to have to blow it up/have injury issues to win less than 30, which is what it'd take to get into prime lottery position. 2-5 is pace for a 23 win season. You trade Deng and I can't the see wins being much higher than 20

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Dec 7, 2013 -> 09:08 PM) Have you looked at the East recently? Waiters jacking 3's like crazy might actually help the Bulls win. He's lose them a bunch of games doing silly stuff, but would also probably win them like 10 when he gets hot. Have you seen this Bulls team sans Rose and without Deng tonight? Rose going down killed their spirit. They aren't the Toon Squad.

Trade Deng for Waiters and a 1st if you can. I can't see how the Bulls would get out of the Top 5 picks.

Considering pundits, analysts, fans (myself included) and players were all saying Gordon had multiple MVPs in his future, I'll hold off on Semien hype.

I also want A-Rods money to remain on the Yankees books. They've benefited from him, why should they be exempt from punishment of his downfall?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 7, 2013 -> 01:30 PM) WTF is that bull? Like how he refused to play 1b last year when Konerko got hurt (oh wait he did, he was just really bad at it). Like how he spent the whole first month of the season being terrible because he was trying to do what the hitting coach asked him to do by swinging earlier in the count and putting the ball in play more (and then when he started being more patient suddenly started hitting HR again)? Adam Dunn is evil!

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Dec 6, 2013 -> 01:19 PM) Why would the Phillies do that?

If for some reason Greg turns out to be correct and Paulie comes into ST as the starting first baseman, I'm finding a new team. He won't, but I imagine if Robin tried it he would be fired immediately.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 5, 2013 -> 06:25 PM) The article in this thread says that if multiple teams make the highest bid, then the team with the worst winning percentage would win the bidding process. So assuming that statement is correct, if we bid $20M the only teams that can beat us out are the Astros and the Marlins. Unfortunately, I don't see him getting past Houston, but I don't see why you wouldn't offer the max and see if you can sign him to a Darvish like deal (but with a much smaller fee). So what if he decides to not go with the Astros. Does it move to the next team?

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Dec 5, 2013 -> 05:45 PM) The way I understand it is this. If multiple teams bid the max then tanaka would be able to negotiate with all the winning bidders for the best contract and then sign. Correct me if I'm wrong. It will be either that or draft order. I can't see Houston or Miami beating the Sox if Hahn wanted him. Especially if Hahn also wanted to keep him from the Cubs.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 5, 2013 -> 05:38 PM) Sorry but a $20M bid won't win. Considering it's the max you can bid, it would.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 5, 2013 -> 10:06 AM) To me, that would essentially be a plea bargain and an admission of some guilt. So he's out $43 million, he never gets to play again, and he's a PED user. May as well fight it. If he loses, he's made a lot of money, and if he wins, he gets even more money. Yup. I'm with A-Rod on this to. MLB deserves to get hit hard, as do the Yankees. QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 5, 2013 -> 02:45 PM) It only took two failed drug tests, one suspension, and one character assassination When you've got nothing to lose...

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 4, 2013 -> 04:29 PM) Mark Gonzales ‏@MDGonzales 27m If Nippon Pro Baseball accepts $20mil max posting fee with team with worst record gets first shot at Tanaka - Hou, Miami, CWS, Cubs.lined up If that is true, I'd put the Sox chances as quite high.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 5, 2013 -> 02:07 AM) He will have a very good year. You heard it here first. Thank goodness he's back. Gives me a reason to watch this pathetic team and maybe buy mlb.com again. Don't flame me, but can Dunn play left field? I'd rather see a platoon of Dunn/Viciedo out there. Let DeAza play center and Garcia right. Abreu DH. Can Abreu play LF? Nope, Dunn and Abreu aren't playing the OF. Paulie is a backup DH greg, nothing more.

Surprise twist: Keppinger is starting catcher!
