QUOTE (Special K @ Jan 1, 2016 -> 05:20 PM) There is no chance this will ever happen. Absolute best case scenario, .240 with 10-12 homers. I've never seen someone deteriorate offensively so quickly in all my years watching baseball but it happened with LaRoche. Even his OBP was garbage. He really is this bad now. His agent better have gotten a phenomenal Christmas gift from him. LaRoche can turn it around. He's done it before in the past. Knows the AL a little bit more now. Not saying he'll be great, but I think he can better than last year.\ If you think LaRoche's ceiling is 10-12 HRs now, you're just plain wrong.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 1, 2016 -> 03:34 PM) Beating that classless POS Brian Kelly is a decent consolation prize. Coming from the guy who likes the team coached by Urban Meyer lol. Please.

QUOTE (blackmooncreeping @ Jan 1, 2016 -> 05:07 PM) ...would be sweet, and to have Laroche hit even .250 in the 6 or 7 hole would make it so much deeper. If LaRoche hit 240 with 18-22 bombs would make me happy.

Steamer projects 266/312/473 with 27 HRs and 32 2Bs. If that's a "bad" year, then sign me up. An Abreu-Cespedes-Frazier middle of the order.........

My number 1 pitching target is Edwin Jackson. He'll be extremely cheap because he's still getting paid by the Cubs. If we sign Cespedes/Gordon/Upton, then I think they bring back Alexei on a 1 year/4-6 million deal. Bench would consist of Saldino, Sanchez, Shuck and one of the catchers. Move Avi to AAA for everyday at bats or trade him for more pitching depth.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 1, 2016 -> 01:25 PM) That just says to me it's still a pretty good buyers market 3 years or less fits KW and Hahn's year 2 of the 3 year plan......

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jan 1, 2016 -> 01:17 PM) Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale 2m2 minutes ago The Chicago #WhiteSox want to sign free agent OF Alex Gordon or Yoenis Cespedes, but only if they're willing to take 3-year deal or less. More I see this tweet and immediately think that this was planted in the media for posturing. Rabbit just a few days ago mentioned that he heard numbers of 5/108 and 6/120

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jan 1, 2016 -> 01:18 PM) That definitely ain't gonna get it done unfortunately Yeah I agree, if Hahn wants 3 years or less, then we're not getting any of the top OFs

Jaylon Smith just tore something in his knee

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 09:58 PM) http://m.mlb.com/news/article/160811074/ro...r-gerardo-parra You should explain that to mlb.com. Crazy that they would go after him. Don't see the need. They aren't competing anytime soon.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 09:36 PM) Cabrera was a disappointment. We can rationalize it later all we want. Market now heating up for Parra, 7-8 teams in on him, Rockies want to deal one of their outfielders for pitching and then stick Parra in his place. Rockies do not need Parra at all. 2 of their top 5 prospects are OFers. Tapia and Dahl should be ready within a year or two.

DT A'Shawn Robinson from Alabama would look so good in a Bears uniform

QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 01:58 PM) i just don't know about that. i will always say, when the playoff comes and your team is in it. strange things happen. players will step up in their game, the superstars players maybe will take it to another level, the goal tender can become unbeatable..... or none of this. it is a strange nhl world, the world of playoff time. When it comes to the Hawks, the "just get to the playoffs" is true on so many levels. They've done it twice in the past not being the #1 seed, they can do it again. What teams can honestly beat the Hawks in a 7 game series? LA? Dallas? Definitely no one in the East.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 03:55 PM) Sox don't consider Sanchez a legitimate option at SS. Just a spot start type guy. I figured that, Sanchez seems like he doesn't have the arm for SS everyday.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 01:15 PM) Sign Floyd to a minor league deal with an invite to Spring Training and Latos to a 1 year, $1.5 million deal with a crapload of incentives. There you go. That would work if Latos was hurt last year, like Henderson Alvarez. However, he was not, so there is no way he takes that deal. He'll get a year north of 5-6 million with incentives.

QUOTE (striker @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 10:13 AM) Danks, Engel, Spencer Adams and Avasail Garcia for Braun and Peralta. If we didn't get any of the big 3 OFers, I would make the Brewers take on Danks and LaRoche's contracts to off set that Braun money. I also wouldn't include Adams in any deal.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 12:50 PM) Gavin Floyd seems to be a wild card that could happen. Makes sense as well. Good call.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 12:41 PM) I get the feeling that if they add one of the two OF'er (especially Cespedes), I think they'll bring back Alexei on a cheap 1-2 year deal. I could see that as well. 1 year deal with a club option because Anderson is on the cusp. Just took a look at the free agents next year, definitely some interesting options as well once LaRoche and Danks leave.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 12:37 PM) Add in Cespedes/Gordon & I might cry a tear or two. If that happens, I will definitely cry and then buy a ticket plan.

Tim Lincecum Brandon Beachy Edwin Jackson Mat Latos Yaisel Sierra All names I would consider.

Looking back on this trade, I still can't believe that the Sox have Todd Frazier. We could be in for a treat in 2016.

QUOTE (dpd9189 @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 11:52 AM) I think the Cardinals are a dark horse for Gordon and I think SF is a dark horse for Cespedes. QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 11:55 AM) Yes, SF is the team that worries me. Agreed on both fronts. Still think Sox get Cespedes though and one of those teams will make a trade for a Colorado OFer.

Hahn at the Bulls game lol

Hahn is at the Bulls game right now! Comcast just showed him on tv. Why isn't he signing Cespedes right now?!?!?!
