QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 28, 2016 -> 04:08 PM) Can't link it but Merkin also tweeted that Ventura knows Hahn is trying to tweak roster Scott Merkin loves to troll people about Garcia...it's getting fairly embarrassing at this point.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 28, 2016 -> 04:00 PM) Hinrich and Avi don't belong in the same sentence. Hinrich is one of the better players in franchise history. Hinrich hasnt played atleast above a decent level since before he was with Atlanta.

Atleast this will stop the CarGo rumors to the Sox now for a while.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jan 28, 2016 -> 02:34 PM) Looks like they deleted it, unless it's just not showing up for me. Yeah they did and changed it

Rays dont need an OFer now...good..so they wont get Soler from the Cubs

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 28, 2016 -> 02:14 PM) Nope, just clueless Apparently even on the phones he needs a platoon Hawk is helping

https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/692800623406772224 Are they trolling season ticket holders now?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 28, 2016 -> 12:20 PM) Isn't that the real reason for new uniforms? Hey more non Bears related clothes is less complaining from the girlfriend

I'm guessing they are going to be selling these right?

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jan 28, 2016 -> 12:17 PM) We don't have assholes here? Oh we definitely do...but it would be dull without them

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jan 28, 2016 -> 12:08 PM) Sorry for the noob question, but what is the difference between WSI and SoxTalk? One has a crap load of assholes on it and then there's this site which does not. But going to avoid that argument again....these new uniforms are nice. I do like how the first comment on the Tweet was a comment about those looking nice on a new RFer lol.

No I dont expect them to do anything before Friday. They do deserve criticism for not doing enough. I'm sure they will get an ear full during Soxfest.

http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/rays/more-on...ilities/2263030 Sox are mentioned at the bottom of the article

Why do you keep repeating 45 million caulfield? It doesnt even look like he'll get 3 years let alone 3 years for 15 million per.

I dont like Fowler. But there's no way they can go into next season with the OF as currently constructed. If they make zero moves from now until the start of the season the front office deserves to be ridiculed.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 27, 2016 -> 10:21 AM) If they are going to call it an offseason, I agree. But I don't think that is the case. I dont know if it is DA. I just have a sinking feeling that this is it. Maybe they dont want to give up a pick for Fowler or Desmond. Maybe Jackson is asking for too much money. Maybe they still have alot of faith in Garcia and they were only willing to move on from him if they got one of the big 3. All those scenarios have been running through my head. But I think the last one I mentioned is pretty likely.

I dont agree with the article on the last place finish but the overall point still stands. It's been an unacceptable offseason so far.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jan 26, 2016 -> 06:59 PM) ...of zero. Like I said in the thread with that article it is actually pretty generous. He doesnt have near good enough defense or the offense to make up for that deficiency. If you actually argue with Scott he just repeats one year and you'll see.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 26, 2016 -> 05:45 PM) I could see Avi becoming like a .2-.3 WAR player with another hot month. His defense would have to get considerably better to get in the positive.

Scott Merkin trying to ring that they are potentially done bell again with his latest article. Also thinks that Garcia is going to surpass his projected WAR next year.

That's pretty generous for Garcia

Going with the none of above option(not on the pool)

QUOTE (SoxSteve @ Jan 25, 2016 -> 03:27 PM) and is a upgrade defensively for sure. just a thought. Actually that's not really true. Markakis isnt good defensively at all.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jan 25, 2016 -> 02:59 PM) I hope he's using all of the free agent talk about the Sox trying to lure one of the big 3 outfielders as motivation. I hope he MASHES next year and makes us forget about Cespedes, Upton and Gordon. He's going to have to hit at a well above average rate to make us forget the absolutely abysmal defense we get from him. Heck Prince Fielder had a good year offensively last year. But it was almost nullified by the garbage defense he plays.

I still think he's going to be out there day 1 starting with no real competition. As asinine as it is I think the Front Office still has quite a bit of hope that he's going to be a pretty good player. There's just too many issues in his game and almost no bright spots other than his age.
