QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jan 6, 2016 -> 11:06 AM) One name that hasn't been talked about much is Denard Span. I know he doesn't have much power, but it seems like he'd be a decent OBP guy. How is his defense? Horrible

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 6, 2016 -> 10:52 AM) whitesoxdave ‏@barstoolWSD 2h2 hours ago Kinda obvious, but was just told "this is great for the Sox and Yo"... If Baltimore nuts up for Davis even better Wasnt this the guy who said Cespedes signed a week ago?

If we dont sign the other two guys they should admit they screwed up and try again during the trade deadline. Seriously for the money the upgrade on some of those guys is marginal if at all.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Jan 6, 2016 -> 10:20 AM) But it's a win-now year. The draft pick could cause his average annual salary to go down too (and it's not our best pick either) The win now players are Cespedes and Upton. Not Dexter Fowler. Who's been playing some Avi Garcia defense the past few years.

For 3 years you could probably get Denard Span to come here and play bad defense.

Hey maybe we can give Garcia a boat paddle next year instead of a bat. That would help. This is seriously stupid. The White Sox are just waisting those free agents time if they are sticking to that 3 years nonsence. More importantly they;re waisting our time. Unless all year teams only hit the ball in the infield.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Jan 5, 2016 -> 10:16 PM) Ha! Dude, that guy is a nut. 85% of his following is fake & he has multiple fake accounts that he trolls people on. Consistently searches his name, too. Bobs a funny guy. Only sports person to block me on Twitter. All I did was ask him why he got the Dwight Howard to the Lakers news wrong(first time...he got it wrong 3 times if my memory serves me right). I didnt actually know he wasnt legit at the time. I remember some people were giving him credit for the Peyton Manning news when he signed with Denver. But it's pretty clear he guesses. Plus he has an extremely thin skin. That Clubhouse guy seems to tweet a lot of vague info. I think maybe theres a reason for that.

Oh....the same turd who got the OF news wrong

QUOTE (blackmooncreeping @ Jan 1, 2016 -> 06:31 PM) I would be beyond surprised if they would be willing to give up a pick for Desmond. If they sign an OFer I wouldnt mind them doing it. It's just if they dont where it gets harder to swallow.

QUOTE (blackmooncreeping @ Jan 1, 2016 -> 04:27 PM) Time will tell if the Sox are indeed moving to the back of the room when it comes to Gordon/Cespedes/Upton. While I'm not ready to throw in the towel on one of these guys quite yet, if we are out of the mix do the Sox quickly pivot to finding an answer at SS or a starting RHP? Who would you target out there if that's the case? There was some buzz earlier on Segura from Milwaukee as a younger SS option, is there a fit there? Any way we can flip Danks or Laroche to the Brewers somehow in the process? Just spitballing here... That "buzz" was from another person who tried to jump the gun on an OF signing. I'd take any names in that regard with a grain of salt. Although the longer he's out there...Desmond may become intriguing atleast on the financial side of things.

Hey if they want to go with a guy in the OF who can barely catch the ball and cant hit it with a boat paddle that's fine.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jan 1, 2016 -> 02:10 PM) Interesting Nightengale is tweeting about this today. Maybe they're trying to force the issue and get something done this weekend. We'll see. Alex Gordon is probably holding things up right now

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jan 1, 2016 -> 01:40 PM) I tend to agree with you man, however at the same time if the market was that strong for these three I'd have to imagine they would have signed already. Maybe the sox are offering a 3 year deal because that's what the market is dictating. Really all I want is these three to sign so this is over already. The only way I see 3 years working is some sort of an opt out. Otherwise we might as well start looking forward to spring training.

That isnt going to get any of them. Maybe if you were the only team in the OF market and willing to wait it out for forever. But the White Sox certainly arent. Someone will finally give in and sign one of them.

QUOTE (dpd9189 @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 10:19 PM) FWIW I still think as of now the Royals are the team to beat in the ALC. They were completely dominant last year and that was without Gordon, Zobrist and Cueto for most of the year. I also anticipate them to make some moves before the offseason is done. Even if they may have an advantage now they wont in a few years. When most of the talent on their roster becomes free agents. Big hits in 17 and in 18. Right now they've been dormant and are playing hard ball with Alex Gordon because of potential money issues. I dont see them doing much.

Also good news is you can unfollow all those random people who claimed to have sources. Sit back and relax time.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 11:08 PM) The Spanish wasn't giving me trouble - just the frequency of the damned post. Bots. Yeah they just retweet each other...really annoying. Was the same way last night with some of the Alex Gordon articles.

It's says nothing new. Repeats the White Sox and O's are in the hunt for Cespedes.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 10:32 PM) Don't worry. Cespedes is happening. Source Because he has

I'm going to see Hateful Eight in a few hours...been nice if something happened right after the movie ends.

I'm guessing Cespedes is just the fall back option if Alex Gordon comes out in a day or two and tells them no.

http://studio.omaha.com/Alex-Gordon-descri...section=omahawh Video for anyone who doesnt want to read the article. Honestly signing Gordon just for the blow up of KC fans on Twitter will be worth it.

http://journalstar.com/sports/huskers/arti...654e57b745.html Alex Gordon speaks on free agency...nothing really new. But something to read I guess.

Hahn is probably just as impatient as we all are when it comes to moves and being excited...but he's managing a big league club. He cant afford to be impatient.
