Him having that payroll is going to be very interesting.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 7, 2014 -> 03:06 PM) Interesting to know. More than anything, it excites me that Jose loves it on the southside enough to be recruiting for us already. That and the front office seems to trust him quite a bit. Good to see.

I just asked George about where this came from and mentioned Abreu. It's definitely from Jose.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 7, 2014 -> 02:25 PM) Based on what? They didn't even attend his work out according to the press reports of who was there. Exactly what I was wondering.

George Ofman @georgeofman · 31m 31 minutes ago Look for White Sox to bid high for Cuban free agent Yasmany Tomas. Power corner outfielder who knows Abreu. https://twitter.com/georgeofman

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 2, 2014 -> 09:03 AM) I have the feeling a few posters would actually be very dissappointed if KW is correct and the Sox actually have a good team next season. I was actually coming in here to post something similar to that. I think some posters in here would rather us pick number 1 than finish 1st in the division. I agree with Kenny...although I didnt think we would be going for it this year(I thought maybe 2016) I still think its a good option. This gives you a pretty good sense of what the offseason will be like too.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 08:38 AM) Yep. Too much smoke here. He's going. I could put up with him for the last 4 weeks, but getting Wilkins at-bats is more important. It absolutely is...and with a few teams battling for him(who would have thought?) we may get something relatively nice back

This is getting good

Come on Giants and A's! Make it happen!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 08:44 PM) Rick Hahn thought offering them arbitration was a good idea? That's what I was thinking too.....he actually wanted them back?

Ah so thankful I dont have to hear the certainties like " He's going to hit soon" or "He's going to be on the roster for the rest of the year". Thank you Angels....thank you very much

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 7, 2014 -> 10:46 PM) Seriously, your avatar is at Wrigley? Yeah....first time there and its with my Grandfather. That's the main reason.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 7, 2014 -> 10:45 PM) Come September Semien can play 2nd rest of the way. I have a bad feeling that Robin wont let that happen

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 7, 2014 -> 10:44 PM) I keep hoping for a TON of roster turnover after this year, but the way things have progressed this year, 2015 is going to be another rebuilding year instead of a contending season. Just too many holes to try and fix them all in one offseason. Well your not going to fix every hole...this goes for every team. We have enough money to make it interesting next year.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 7, 2014 -> 10:41 PM) I agree I just think GB will quietly go into the sunset at years end. Merkin just tweeted me its tough to drop every guy who doesnt meet expectations. Except for the little fact that we have his replacement in the minors.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 7, 2014 -> 10:35 PM) He is here rest of year. and there really is no reason why he should be

Its just comical at this point

well isnt this fun...getting no hit through 4

So Hahn had no problem eating Keppinger's money to get rid of him...but Gordon is a no go? Especially when we have Micah and Marcus in the minors?

Despite what Dick Allen may assert Gordon couldnt hit a ball of a tee at this point. He is completely lost.

Gordon really sucks

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 7, 2014 -> 09:30 PM) Someone should be getting the at bats at 2nd besides Beckham or Leury Garcia. Right now, they're just throwing away at bats to players that have no future in this organization and won't get anything back in deals. I still dont understand the reasoning for continuing to play Gordon. He's gone after this year. Its just wasting everyone's time right now.

Wow nice play by Carp

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 4, 2014 -> 09:46 PM) We thought that the first month of the season too Yeah that's really the problem with all of this. He can go right back to striking out a ton.

Well I'm impressed
