Cubano is back!

QUOTE (PolishPrince34 @ Oct 30, 2013 -> 07:40 PM) Please people we need to stop bringing up Ellsbury and McCann. There is no way Hahn is going to fork over $150 million contract for Ellsbury or $80-100 million for McCann. We are still rebuilding towards the future and neither of these players fall in that category. What makes Ellsbury 30 years of age a solid player is his elite speed. He might have 2 more years tops of that speed. He will get a minimum of at least 6 years. Hahn has no interest in having huge contract when he's playing during Years 30-38. Same thing with McCann who will turn 30 in the offseason and catchers start to see a huge drop off by Age 32. He's already had shoulder surgery and his best years are already behind him. Again it will take 5-6 years to sign him. I hope and believe Hahn will take a pass on the elite free agents this offseason. I hope we do something very similar to what Epstein/Hoyer did last offseason and that's sign players to 1 year deals and see how the team does. If the team is horrible again which I believe will happen again you then have the fallback plan to trade them off to continue building our farm system for the future. He's already done a great job getting Abreu signed for his prime years and without costing any draft picks/allocation money for the draft. I'd rather not do anything the Cubs did.

If you got Lawrie for Gordon + Danks, that'd be awesome. If you got Lawrie+, especially if it's Sanchez or Stroman, you've got a coup. And yeah, beating a dead horse, but with Danks off the books I can easily see them pushing for both McCann and Ellsbury.

QUOTE (Jake @ Oct 29, 2013 -> 09:28 PM) I'm happy to have Conger, though I'm not sure what price I'm willing to pay. Sign me up for Bourjos+Conger for Santiago though Yeah, keep Q's name out of this one.

Well this sucks.

Need to stop the bleeding.

On track for highest scoring game of all time.

DEAR LORD DERRICK

Well, that was a s***ty foul.

f***ing Chalmers.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 29, 2013 -> 01:31 AM) Can Abreu play LF? I'd rather have Paulie at first and Abreu in LF (if he is OK out there) and trade Dayan. How bout a Dayan/Beckham package to somebody for a 3B and set up man. If Abreu can't play left then have him split time between DH and first and give Paulie and Dunn breaks. You have no idea how terrible an idea this is. Please just let Paulie retire.

This is the best thread of all time.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 25, 2013 -> 07:56 AM) What would make a lot of scouts fly to Chicago? Deals involving acquiring young players or signing international players is my guess.

Oh my god. My sides.

Ozzie invented the complete game. Post of the f***ing year.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 24, 2013 -> 10:55 AM) That is a great gif. What will Hawk call him since country strong doesn't apply?

QUOTE (onedude @ Oct 23, 2013 -> 11:09 PM) This is just a random thought but I've always wanted to see an inverted scheme. White helmet/hat with black logo. Black jersey and pants with white pinstripes, and actually wear 'White Sox'. It could dig it for a game or two.

Rose is somehow faster and more explosive.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Oct 23, 2013 -> 08:06 PM) I think some people are undervaluing our #2 starter. Q got even better his his 2nd full year when everyone didn't think he could repeat his 1st year. Lawrie hasnt done much for 2 years and when baseball has cracked down on PED's you have to look at any reduced production with a very discerning eye. Sure it could've been injuries or him not adjusting to pitchers adjustments to him but still his production is concerning. For real, people are undervaluing Q. A staff led by Sale and Q can go along way. Plus, he is the Flying Serpent.

Put me in the Jaramillo camp

Would you guys do Santiago + Keppinger for Headley?

QUOTE (scs787 @ Oct 22, 2013 -> 02:46 PM) I actually agree with the bold. I'm just talking about Cano now because of the article someone posted saying the Sox are interested. Yup, give me Ellsbury and McCann for the same price as Cano. Plug two holes and likely get better production for the same price.
