Rumor: Dodgers & Sox discussing Sale & Frazier
QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Nov 15, 2016 -> 08:17 AM) So we have at least 4 teams that have expressed at least some interest in Sale (Boston, LA, Atlanta, and Washington). This couldn't be playing out any better for the Sox IMO. Keep pinning all these teams against each other and take the best offer. Agreed. If Sale is on the roster opening day for us, Rick and Kenny have (yet again) failed miserably.

Abreu enters arbitration
QUOTE (Donaldo @ Nov 14, 2016 -> 08:48 PM) Boston needs a DH. For the right prospect, I'd trade him in a heartbeat. At 30, his best years are probably NOT ahead of him. That's a sobering thought, but you're probably not wrong.

Destinations for Adam Eaton
QUOTE (Dunt @ Nov 15, 2016 -> 08:10 AM) This. Eaton is part of the core, no reason to move him right now. You definitely won't get anything approaching a fair market value for him, so don't even pretend he's going anywhere. You still need veterans on this team anyways. Starting with Eaton, Rodon, and Anderson isn't a bad core to build around. Starting with a 28 year old is a mistake. You're essentially wasting his prime.

NCAA basketball thread 2016-17
QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Nov 10, 2016 -> 05:46 PM) I don't follow much beyond the B1G schools in basketball recruiting, but is there a Power 5 school in the country with worse luck with de-commits than Illinois? I know de-commits happen all the time in football, but they seem to be way less prevalent in basketball. In the last decade, we've had Gordon, Snider, and now probably Tilmon all flip right around signing day. What the hell is wrong with this program? The problem is this Illinois program needs to be a lot better with all the four star guys they have.

A Jetta is expensive to fix for what you get. I know this sounds boring, but get an Accord or a Civic before you get a Jetta. At least those things will run without problems. The new Civic is super slick.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 10, 2016 -> 01:34 PM) Guys, Trump will be normalized. He saidw hat he had to say to get elected. He'll be normalized and we'll all survive the next 4 years. I really hope you're right.

White Sox Rebuild Thread
QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 10, 2016 -> 10:50 AM) Drew Poemeranz and Andrew Cashner did. Jose Abreu can bring back 1 if not 2 top 100 guys. Not after last season. Plus, he's essentially a DH to a lot of teams.

White Sox listening on Frazier
Frazier just isn't very good. His power numbers are great, but his performance relative to his power numbers is poor.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 9, 2016 -> 11:45 AM) That is fascinating. I had no idea that both candidates had that kind of drop off. I am totally stealing these numbers. Lower voter turnout is always terrible for Democrats

2016 Presidential Election Thread
QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Nov 9, 2016 -> 09:15 AM) Paul Ryan could be the most powerful man in America, highly doubt he is going anywhere. He shattered all kinds of campaign funds records. I'm inclined to agree with you.

2016 Presidential Election Thread
This whole debacle is requiring be to put a whole lot more faith in Paul Ryan. I don't often agree with him, but he has his head on straight and could potentially take the edge off Trump. Problem is, some outlets are calling for Ryan to step down, which would be a problem.

The domino that could catapult the white sox into a fire sale
QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Nov 7, 2016 -> 06:02 PM) we get more coverage in NYC than in Chicago. Because we're bad and we have pieces the Yankees and Mets could be interested in...and yet can't afford. Finally stories about baseball that aren't cubs-centric. The White Sox hold the offseason cards.
