QUOTE (BrianAnderson @ Jan 14, 2016 -> 01:59 PM) Just as comparison: Player A: 2014- .273/.305, 35 doubles, 15hr, 74rbi, 81ko's, 24bb 2015- .249/.285, 33 doubles, 10hr, 62rbis, 68ko's, 31bb Player B: 2014- .276/.375, 21 doubles, 8hr, 35rbi, 108ko's, 66bb 2015- .250/.346, 29 doubles, 17hr, 46rbi, 154ko's, 84bb Player is A is Alexei, B is obviously Fowler. I don't know. When I hear both may be close to signing, one for probably 2 years and maybe 16mm and the other is probably going to get like 3 years 42mm? Also, one would be replacing Saladino, in what I think is pretty obviously our biggest hole in the offense (though solid D) and the other would be replacing our 3rd biggest hole in our offense (2nd being Catcher) I just think if this is my pocketbook I am going with Alexei. Also doesn't cost a pick. Fowler to me is such a Sox move though. If you are going to breakout the checkbook Jerry, break it out. Don't spend $45mm on Fowler. Spend $85mm on Cespedes. There's a reason he's worth more. Also haven't watched a ton of Fowler but he doesn't really rate out as the best OF by dWar Fowler was a 3 win players and actually graded out as his best defensive year last year on fangraphs

All of this could be Roc Nation planting this to the media to get their offers up.

Extremely jealous. Congrats man!

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jan 14, 2016 -> 10:35 AM) Did you watch the playoffs? More like did the Mets see first hand how Cespedes did in CF.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jan 14, 2016 -> 06:52 AM) My two favorite violations: "One assistant coach even had the audacity to help a player find some rental housing: A former associate head men’s basketball coach assisted in the relocation of a prospective student-athlete by providing the phone number of the prospect’s mother to a donor (Representative #2) to arrange for rental housing. The family paid a market rate for the rental. However, the actions of the former associate head coach are in violation of NCAA bylaws." And the absolute best: "A Missouri men’s basketball student-manager also provided transportation for multiple student-athletes to the hotel from the Missouri campus, all in violation of NCAA bylaws." Further proof that the NCAA is a complete joke.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jan 13, 2016 -> 12:31 PM) The Browns are hiring Hue Jackson. That's an excellent hire. Bye bye Johnny Football. I can't wait to see him fail in Dallas under Jerry Jones.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 13, 2016 -> 11:13 AM) All I know is cut the turnovers. My lord the Bulls have so many awful turnovers. IF they just minimized their turnovers, they'd have a handful of more wins. But what a terrible week...4 in 5 days (which should never happen in the NBA given the physicality of the sport) and we have the walking wounded after last nights game (and we aren't even that deep into the 4 in 5 days). And Rose was looking pretty good offensively over past couple weeks. The amount of times I see that they make that stupid jump pass and turn it over, it has to be at least 6-8 times per game that this team does it.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jan 13, 2016 -> 10:26 AM) Seriously, do these guys only work on Wednesdays in the offseason? Wonder if this is our only move for the day

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 5m5 minutes ago Steve Stone also receives a multi-year extension to call #WhiteSox games. Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 3m3 minutes ago Breakdown for #WhiteSox TV games: Steve Stone 162, Hawk Harrelson 84, Jason Benetti 78.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Jan 13, 2016 -> 10:07 AM) Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 12s12 seconds ago Also, Hawk Harrelson, who does all road games and three at home, receives a multi-year extension. #WhiteSox Steve Stone also gets an extension.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jan 13, 2016 -> 08:33 AM) White Sox to name Jason Benetti as Hawk Harrelson's half-season replacement There is a couple audio clips in this article of Jason calling some home runs. I like his calls. Thanks for that.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 13, 2016 -> 06:38 AM) For Illinois fans, he did the Mich St game with Calhoun last week I turned that game off real fast lol. However, not because of the announcing. Great hire, I like his voice. Like others have said, a local kid, grew up a Sox fan, and has national and local experience. Great hire.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 09:41 PM) I really want to believe Teravainen is the real deal. He has looked pretty good so far. His 2 way game has gotten so much better, and he's finally shooting the puck. He has a sneaky wrister. Love me some TT, and meshed pretty well with Kane and Panarin tonight.

QUOTE (Al Lopez's Ghost @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 08:27 PM) I'd pull the trigger on that trade. Gotta give up something, Adams should interest Rockies. QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 08:27 PM) Absolutely, in a heartbeat I would too. Resign Alexei to a 1 year deal, move Saladino to utility role, and you have 3 picks in the top 50.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 07:36 PM) The market could not be setting itself up better for the Sox. I completely agree.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 08:00 PM) http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2016/01/12/lev...-a-trade-match/ Levine mentions a pitcher and Avi for CarGo would get it done. Adams and Avi, would you do it?

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 05:48 PM) I half agree with ya on this. Due to Dickerson's injury concerns with his plantar fasciitis, he would be the cheapest of the three. But I think CarGo brings in a bigger haul than Blackmon due to his left handed power, despite CarGo's salary. CarGo was healthy in '15 and thanks to Heyward's new salary raising the bar, CarGo has surplus value to go with his LH power. I know were you're coming from, but I still disagree. We'll agree to disagree

I like Blackmon, but I think he would be the most expensive out of the 3 Colorado OFers because he's so cheap, more years of control, and has produced more than Dickerson.

I would agree with 81 wins.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 04:50 PM) Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 4m4 minutes ago Sources: #Tigers among teams talking to #Rockies, who have surplus of LH hitting outfielders. Precise target for DET unclear; no deal close. Get one of them Tigers, please. Preferably CarGo.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 10:33 AM) Yep, seen him when he first started out in Windy City Pro, and a few shows for IWA Mid South. The company I used to work for did ring rentals and we rented out to a Lucha show, guess they had him booked before he signed with WWE and he canceled his booking with them so the owner absolutely hated him and I got to hear a big long rant from him. Dudes exciting as hell, and I hope he gets pushed like Mysterio did. I think Kalisto's performance in the ladder match at TLC was the high point of his career, and where fans really took notice of him. Ever since then, he's gotten a push, and he has performed great. Needs to work on his mic skills though.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 01:49 AM) While not even close to as scary, I slid to a stop coming down a hill to a red light. My car doesn't have Anti-lock breaks (2004, seriously?), so I just pumped them a bunch and manuevered to the side to avoid rear-ending the guy in front of me. All while maintaining my Steak-N-Shake Nutella shake in one hand. *swish* I'm waiting to go to class, I read this and instantly start laughing hahaha. Glad you're alright, man.
