QUOTE (Saufley @ Dec 1, 2015 -> 04:30 PM) I thought I read on Rotoworld he has an opt out after 3 years. I think it is his and not the club opt out. Yea, I agree 38 is a bit too old for that contract Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale 13m13 minutes ago David Price will earn $90 million the 1st three years of his contract_$30 million a year_when he then has an opt-out in his contract.#RedSox You are correct, sir

QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 1, 2015 -> 10:40 AM) i know what you mean, ray would be excellent, but the org need for a cat and 3b and even a good dh if 1b is manned, is what i have been looking at. What does this mean then? QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 1, 2015 -> 11:12 AM) again, think of what i am talking about. we are discussing players to keep an eye on for the next season ncaa games. you are not going to get out of this was some lame arse excuse. give it up. come on really kool and tell all who is posting you know what you are talking about, take the BPA. real lame. if you have anything to add about players to keep an eye for next yr, belly up. I do have some players in mind for all 3 draft picks that we will get in the top 50-55. And my "excuse" that I gave about the Rockies is plain fact.

QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 1, 2015 -> 10:46 AM) if you really don't have anything worth while to add in the conversation, don't respond. It was worthy to add because you have to go with what you feel is the best player at that point. Not just a position. I remember at the draft last year, they interviewed the Rockies GM after they took Brendan Rodgers. He said they took a pitcher but he wasn't their highest rated player overall, but a team need. They took Tyler Anderson. Kolton Wong, Blake Swihart, and Joe Panik all were picked after Anderson that were rated higher.

QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 1, 2015 -> 10:40 AM) i know what you mean, ray would be excellent, but the org need for a cat and 3b and even a good dh if 1b is manned, is what i have been looking at. with pitching, i am a minority here, but i still like puk as the #1 player / sp in the whole draft. dang it, i can't wait for the freaking ncaa baseball season to start. the cape cod was really uneventful for me. We've been over this. You draft BPA, no matter the position in the first couple rounds. Draft for need in the later rounds.

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 30, 2015 -> 10:03 PM) Not sure I have ever heard a more quiet crowd for a main event. This product is awful Because that main event was awful. No one interesting besides Ambrose. Way too many people.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Nov 30, 2015 -> 10:30 AM) Well Ryan Cubit was our most recent RC but yea, big blow to the staff. Not shocked at all by this though. Oh my bad, I thought Golesh was the RC. He was at one point correct? I know he had huge influence in recruiting.

Illinois loses Alex Golesh (recruiting coordinator) to Iowa State....

QUOTE (Boogua @ Nov 30, 2015 -> 09:50 AM) Sounds like Thorne might need surgery and will be out for the year. How snake bitten is this program? Terrible news for Thorne and just bad luck for the program. Hopefully Thorne can get a 6th year waiver. Illinois has 1 scholarship left for 16, so hopefully he is granted a waiver. Thorne/Morgan Black/Finke/Williams Hill/Jordan/Nichols/Austin Nunn/Coleman-Lands Abrams/Lucas/Tate Pretty good depth.

QUOTE (Baron @ Nov 29, 2015 -> 06:13 PM) I'm just hoping they are exploring every avenue to try and acquire Frazier first. He's worth considering giving up some good prospects for. I completely agree. You'll get 3 picks in the top 50-55 as well to replenish the system as well. And those players could all have higher ceilings than some traded for Frazier.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Nov 29, 2015 -> 02:36 PM) Alexei was 11% and I think he could be had for less than 10 Mil. Alexei is also 5 years older than Cabrera, and Cabrera had a OPS greater than 700

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Nov 29, 2015 -> 10:08 AM) Most active for me..Blue Jays..Mariners..Giants..Red Sox..Reds..Cubs..Nationals..Dodgers..White Sox intriguing.. https://twitter.com/karlravechespn/status/670974430328324096 Interesting. Wonder what direction they're going in. I'm guessing adding payroll.

Kane with a PP goal. Extends streak to 19 games. Longest American streak. If you wanted to know the record, its 51 games by Wayne Gretzky. In those 51 games, he had 153 points lmao

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Nov 28, 2015 -> 07:11 PM) Asdrubal Cabrera is a strikeout machine( not good at the 2 spot) who drove in less runs than Alexei. You want to give him $10 mil a yea???. Steve Pierce hit below .220 and you want to double his salary. He hasn't made 6 Mil in his 9 yr career and you want to give him 6 for 1 year. Are you a relative of his?? 19% K rate for Cabrera isn't bad.

Illinois down 1 at half against Iowa State. Playing well. Iowa State is really good.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Nov 28, 2015 -> 11:48 AM) Illinois extended cubit. LOL L. 2YEARS Unreal. Illinois is ran by morons.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Nov 28, 2015 -> 11:01 AM) You don't even have Sanchez listed at 2B. You have Cabrera there. You're right. I should say he could spell Saladino and move Cabrera to SS.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Nov 28, 2015 -> 10:43 AM) ^^^ I could live with that, although the Avi trade really doesn't make any sense from the Sox perspective. They don't need another lefty pitcher, especially one coming off TJ surgery. He might be a lefty, but he still has back end of the rotation potential. If anything, maybe he could be a valuable man out of the pen. QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Nov 28, 2015 -> 10:44 AM) I wouldn't trade Putnam for a guy who's just going to be on the bench. He has a pretty solid arm and trading him for a bench guy I feel would be selling low. Especially when teams put a lot of stock on good bullpens now, Dietrich could very well play 2B instead of Sanchez. Dietrich is a poor man's Ben Zobrist, imo. He did hit pretty well last year, so it's not like he would be strictly on the bench QUOTE (scs787 @ Nov 28, 2015 -> 10:46 AM) If you're looking for a 2nd basemen to bat 2nd, I'd rather have Howie Kendrick. I do still have some blind faith in Avi for some reason, but I get trading him. Howie Kendrick has a draft pick attached to him, he's out of the question.

Sign 2B/SS Asdrubal Cabrera 2 years/20 million Trade SP Chris Beck and SP Brandon Brennan to the A's for 3B Brett Lawrie Trade 1B Adam LaRoche (Balances the money), SP Frankie Montas, SP Myles Jaye, and OF Adam Engel to the Rockies for OF Carlos Gonzalez and 1B Corelle Prime Trade RF Avisail Garcia to the Phillies for SP Jesse Biddle Trade RP Zach Putnam and SP Thad Lowry for UTIL Derek Dietrich CF Adam Eaton (L) 2B Asdrubal Cabrera (S) 1B Jose Abreu LF Carlos Gonzalez (L) 3B Brett Lawrie DH Melky Cabrera (S) RF Trayce Thompson C Alex Avila (L) SS Tyler Saladino OF J.B Shuck, C Tyler Flowers, 1B/3B Mike Olt, UTIL Derek Dietrich SP Chris Sale (L) SP Jose Quintana (L) SP Carlos Rodon (L) SP Erik Johnson SP John Danks (L) RP Jacob Turner (long man) RP Jake Petricka RP Dan Jennings (L) RP Tommy Kahnle RP Zach Duke (L) RP Nate Jones CP David Robertson Thoughts?

QUOTE (whtsoxfan @ Nov 27, 2015 -> 08:00 PM) Bluejays sign J.A. Happ http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/11/blue...n-j-a-happ.html ew

QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 27, 2015 -> 08:12 PM) seriously, the hawks got robbed. how can duncan keith and keith seabs not be given stars for the game. the minutes on ices plus the hits, plus shot on goal and the points???? Who cares who the stars were? They won the game.

We complain about MLB umpires a lot, but NFL and NBA refs are beyond horrid. Mirotic just got called for fouling Paul George by not even touching him.

Acquiring Lawrie and signing Asdrubal Cabrera would be solid additions. Could play Cabrera at 2B or SS and have Saladino and Sanchez platoon
