Tough sell after last year Lol yeah right. At best, I think they can fetch a back end rotation type guy.

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 4m4 minutes ago Only way see Jose Quintana getting traded is if #WhiteSox got a really nice package of hitters back. Great contract, very good production.

QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 01:40 PM) i just got back so if your idea of the trade is wrong, that team put in a bid, what are they going to do with rizzo, again if they had won the bidding process, so this is a NL team with no DH and now they have 2 1b man in rizzo and parks. what to do??? We don't even know they made a bid.

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 54s55 seconds ago Also, no announcements today on #WhiteSox coaching staff even though it appears Rick Renteria is close to being named bench coach.

QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 10:28 AM) this has nothing to do with Sano, he made a statement and i asked a counter question, he never responded. it is just he makes statements with out ever explaining why it is wrong, or his reasoning. the other part is me, i was in a great mood until i had my meeting. now everything went to the s***ter. so i am in a pissy mood now.... i am leaving today, b/c of it. i will be back when the s*** is off the stove. QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 10:46 AM) I think LDF is referring to the brief discussion the two of you had yesterday on if the Cubs were the winning bidders, what would they do about 1B with Rizzo already there. It's all moot now since its the Twins that won the bid. Just trying to clarify is all. Anyway. Twins lineup looks even more potent now with the power potential in that lineup. Oh lol. Well I didn't see his post. Trading Rizzo who is 3 years younger and far more proven than Park, and moving Rizzo to the OF wouldn't be a good idea because he has been pretty solid at 1B his entire career.

Cubit and all other assistants are cleared of any wrong doing as well. It was all Beckman. So that's good at least.

I want Renteria as the manager.

QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 10:12 AM) you never finished my question.... typical. Excuse me? Typical? What are you talking about? If you posted something, I probably missed it. I did read a tweet yesterday I believe saying they are trying Sano in LF, but I don't see that happening successfully.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 09:57 AM) Don't they have Mauer and Sano at first and dh? Twins are attempting to try Sano in LF

Early candidate could be Northwestern's AD. He's an alum of Illinois.

Can we make this for all free agents instead of just one? That's a lot of threads lol. Zack Grienke- Dodgers Yoenis Cespedes- Tigers David Price- Cubs Jason Heyward- White Sox Chris Davis- Cardinals Justin Upton- Orioles Jordan Zimmermann- Blue Jays Johnny Cueto- Red Sox Alex Gordon- Royals Jeff Samardzija- Giants Mike Leake- Giants Ian Desmond- Mets Alexei Ramirez- White Sox That's all I got for now.

QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 08:40 AM) if they win, put or play park in the spring training, if he does well, trade rizzo for some major talent or see how he does in the outfield. That's the last thing the Cubs are gonna do.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Nov 7, 2015 -> 10:19 PM) ''I'd hit them over the fence. People would gather to watch the little kid,'' says Epstein. ''But that came about 20 years too early to maximize my earning potential.'' He made the Brookline Little League All-Stars but says he was ''a second-tier player'' as a pitcher at Brookline High School. Paul says his brother ''didn't have overpowering physical gifts, but I think he made up for it with pitcher's intellect. He didn't have the fastest fastball, but he had a good sense of what pitch to put where.'' Though his parents attended all of the boys' soccer games, they had a hard time watching Theo on the mound, worrying he'd lose. ''I was too nervous,'' says his mother, who has saved all the boys' trophies and sports memorabilia - her ''archival vaults'' - in the comfortable old Brookline apartment where she raised three kids and where she is now compiling a scrapbook of Theo's latest venture. http://www.brooklinehighalumni.org/epstein.asp In the end, it's vague because he was a pitcher, but he was apparently a starter in soccer at least and his brother still is the Brookline coach in that sport to this day. I suppose we can debate the merits of that. But the two brothers at least grew up in a family where sports were integral. Rick Hahn is a bad GM because he wasn't a a varsity starter in high school! Makes sense!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Nov 7, 2015 -> 09:29 PM) All of the top-polling candidates for president do that intentionally and it doesn't seem to affect their standings with the American populace. In fact, it often enhances their status and they usually never get called on it. Somehow my preference for a GM who was at least a varsity (starter) athlete at baseball, basketball or football was turned into my desire to have a combine with 40 times, bench presses, squats and verticals...but whatever. So I'll ask again how many GM's have led their teams without ever having been a varsity starter in a major sport in high school? Joe Maddon never played baseball professionally and who cares if they were a varsity starter in a sport in HS? Lol, that's completely irrelevant.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Nov 6, 2015 -> 12:24 PM) I do trust him more as a judge and arbiter of pure baseball talent than Rick Hahn, so there's that. Wait, what? lol The guy that loves Gordon Beckham. The guy that said that we have one of the best OF defenses in all of baseball. Stop it.

Free agency begins in 29 minutes

QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Nov 6, 2015 -> 08:20 PM) Seeing these contract predictions makes my hope Hahn is ready and willing to deal this offseason. We have young MLB ready talent to deal in Micah, Avi, Montas, Beck...get creative with those guys to get some sort of impact 3B. I wouldn't hate Rasmus, Aoki or Parra in the OF, but it's coming pretty apparent to me that filling the infield is going to come from within or trade. Rasmus got a QO today. No shot Sox go after him

This David Freese talk has me throwing up. I don't see him as the answer at 3B at all.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Nov 6, 2015 -> 11:11 AM) Beachy is still working his way back from his second TJ and he didn't pitch all that great for the Dodgers so he can't expect too much in a contract. The Sox are known for keeping their pitchers healthy and a good pitching coach in Cooper so a team like the Sox could be rather enticing to Beachy. I wanted the Sox to sign Beachy last off season as an insurance policy to any starter that got hurt. I'd love to get him on a minor league deal. From this poll, the only move I chose was Alexei's and the payroll, I chose 130-139 million. JR wants to win, go spend the money on some key free agents.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Nov 6, 2015 -> 10:30 AM) http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2016-top-50...nt-predictions/ Cameron has the White Sox bringing back Alexei Ramirez on a 1 year deal for $6 million. He also has them signing Howie Kendrick, Chris Young (OF), Alex Avila, and Mat Latos. The only move I would do is the Alexei deal. Only way I sign Latos is if one of our starting pitchers is traded. The other 3 I have no interest in because of age, fit with the club, or injury prone.
