QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 22, 2016 -> 03:24 PM) is his defense that bad? It sucks Austin Jackson fits the best. Venable wasnt even a positive on offense.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 22, 2016 -> 03:07 PM) “We’re looking for any way to get better,” Hahn said, when asked if he liked to add another outfielder. “The final couple spots on the roster will come down to a combination of platoon advantage, speed, defense and positional flexibility.” http://www.csnchicago.com/white-sox/brett-...-series-caliber I have a feeling Will Venable is the most likely fit. He fits 2 of those categories. The other 2 definitely not.

QUOTE (shipps @ Feb 22, 2016 -> 03:10 PM) What a vote of confidence for Saladino. LOL I like it...just brutal honesty. He has potential but he better not waste their time. Or he will be replaced. Sounds good to me.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Feb 18, 2016 -> 04:59 PM) Carl Crawford. I actually wouldnt mind that depending on how much money was taken by the Dodgers. This is a little random. But atleast we dont have the most delusional front office under Jerry's watch.....Bulls are really attracting some attention.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 17, 2016 -> 07:40 PM) Fowler's only fit on this team was ability to get on base. The defense, being average against RHP and comp pick always made him a bad fit, in my opinion. His offense would have been nice. Garcia is just so absolutely awful specifically on defense that he would need to be spectacular on offense to negate the lost runs he would give up.

His defense just sucks too much. It would negate anything he is doing well offensively. Basically Prince Fielder syndrome.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Feb 17, 2016 -> 07:32 PM) Honest question, but what can Jackson realistically expect if Fowler ends up with a 2/$25M deal? I'm thinking something like 2/$16M, which would be a pretty solid price IMO. I'm sure Dick Allen will mention it but his agent is Boras....I dont think he cares.

Yeah Garcia! Let's see those dropped balls in RF again this year.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Feb 17, 2016 -> 10:12 AM) Come on guys, were talking about trying to upgrade Avi, a high impact bat would be nice but not necessary to make the improvement. Correct...Austin Jackson's defense alone would save us roughly 2 games worth of runs

QUOTE (blackmooncreeping @ Feb 12, 2016 -> 08:55 PM) I read somewhere that most of Fowler's leaked runs were due to throwing issues. As long as he underhand rolls the ball back in, we should be good Alot of throwing issues and out of position runs given up.

QUOTE (SoxSteve @ Feb 12, 2016 -> 07:59 PM) That's impossible, lol. Nope...Fowler has given up about 32 runs the past 2 years.

QUOTE (SoxSteve @ Feb 12, 2016 -> 04:49 PM) Dude i get it. Just making a point if i guy has all those strikeouts and errors and Horsh%^#tt OBP and his stats have been on a steady decline then don't bring up how good his WAR is and tell me he is a better fit than Fowler. Fowler fits our team better then Desmond because of his OBP and better outfield defense than Melky or Garcia. Technically Fowler plays worse defense than Melky and Garcia.

White Sox are out of money...nice try Kenny. Not falling for that one again.

QUOTE (SoxSteve @ Feb 12, 2016 -> 01:35 PM) And for those WAR followers how does a guy who has averaged 24 errors and 171 strikeouts over the last 3 years with a 311 OBP have a good war? Maybe a good fit for some teams but for us not good at all IMO. Thanx P On my phone but a quick explanation. The errors did not amount to any damage done during the game.

QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 11, 2016 -> 09:05 PM) Stop being rational and understanding how the process of the media works. When I read the above posts, all I can think about is this: That song is stuck in my head now thanks

Honestly I'm just tired of this s***...just tell me who the team is so I know who for sure I'm going to be yelling at for the next few months.

Dan Hayes just said to me offseason poker game. So obviously he believes in posturing.

Bob needs to tell Kenny Williams to stop shooting down our rumors

The Sox quickly have to feed Bob information so he shoots it down

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 11, 2016 -> 05:45 PM) I bet Dan is just confirming that Heyman tweeted. Well he is confirming they are talking. That's fairly big news. So maybe this will get done before players start showing up to spring training.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 11, 2016 -> 04:17 PM) If we didn't use WAR would we know just how useless Avi was? The other metrics just reinforce what the WAR says about him. His WAR is just a nice little convenient way of packing all the suckage into one number. Ian Desmond would be a nice change from Alexei. Essentially would we save 7 runs by adding him. Plus we would save 1 base while Alexei was -10. People keep repeating the error numbers like that amounted to something. They actually didnt amount to much if anything. He's zeroed out across the board in all defensive categories except for double plays were he is plus 1.

QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 11, 2016 -> 03:58 PM) You would be wrong on that, Jerksticks. Incredibly wrong

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 10, 2016 -> 05:50 PM) But he does. He might not be the best defender in the world but he's 8 billion times better than Avi. Technically if your comparing what he did in CF and what Avi did in RF that's not the case. He was actually worse in CF than Avi was in RF. He actually gave up more runs by throwing mistakes. Avi was in the positive in that case.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Feb 10, 2016 -> 04:16 PM) And they should, honestly. When the market is completely flush with options and prices are lower than they've been in years, you have to make a move that makes as much sense as this one has. I honestly feel bad for Avi...first sign of trouble and he's going to get absolutely roasted. He's going to hear it at the ball park.
