QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Oct 28, 2015 -> 09:01 PM) His defense was horrendous, and his four misses led to fastbreak points for Brooklyn. Edit- He was so bad that he got benched for Hinrich in the 4th quarter Lol that happens man. The entire bench was pretty bad all night. Singling out Brooks when he at least contributed offensively is bad. Noah and Gibson were horrendous. 1-7 shooting, 7 rebounds, 8 fouls, and 5 turnovers in 36 minutes of play between them. That's bad. Edit: Also, Brooks was the only guy on the bench with a positive +/- with a +1

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Oct 28, 2015 -> 08:55 PM) Butler, Rose, Gasol, and Mirotic were all spectacular tonight. Snell, Noah, and Moore were decent. Gibson, McDermott and Hinrich were meh. Brooks was bad. Overall, a good game. 2-0. Brooks was not bad. He was pretty efficient when in the game. I don't know how 12 points, 3 assists, 1 rebound and 1 turnover on 5-9 is bad. Noah and Gibson were bad.

QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 28, 2015 -> 11:22 AM) Andre Wheeler replaces JB Wendelken. https://twitter.com/MLBPipeline/status/659404509446283264 Any word on why Wendelken left? Hope it's not injury. He could be a factor in the bullpen as soon as next season imo.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Oct 28, 2015 -> 10:32 AM) I'm sure Ryan Pace had heard of that incident from last year. I would have cut him my first day as GM. Didn't Pace name Ratliff as one of the key members of this team at the beginning of the year? Fox and Fangio did in preseason.

QUOTE (LDF @ Oct 28, 2015 -> 11:19 AM) you bring up a very interesting point. i like to think that the hawks, now esp in the beginning of the season, can give this young players some seasoning by playing in nhl games. esp if they hold there own this new kid coming up, he is real skilled according to his profiles, the hawk have him, some new blood will need to start replacing some of the older players, esp in the playoff if their is an injury. it is a win - win situation. he is 23 yr old, played in the mens league in sweden and he is ready to play in the nhl. i really hate to say this, Stan should really try to trade mcneil with danault in a pkg with a hard to trade player.... hell even throw in a draft pick McNeil yes, Danault no. Danault might replace Kruger next year if Kruger gets too expensive. The only hard player on this team that is difficult to trade is Bickell.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Oct 27, 2015 -> 09:01 PM) I liked what I saw out of Hinostroza, but he'll be back up at some point this season. Excited to see what Kero can do. Getting a look at what these young kids can do this year (Baun, Hinostroza, Kero, Dano eventually) will give the Hawks options for next year. I think Bickell, Shaw, and Garbutt will be gone next year if these kids do anything positive. Maybe even Kruger gone as well with Danault in the pipeline (recovering from hip surgery)

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2582867...dipping-problem I thought Trestman couldn't be any worse......WOW.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Oct 28, 2015 -> 07:50 AM) The roster is at 38. Albers, Samardzija, Soto, and Beckham going to free agency will bring it to 34 and outfighting someone like Carroll could bring it to 33. How many guys need protecting for Rule 5? Thank you. I could see Kevan Smith and possibly Davidson DFA'd as well.

Great pick up. Low risk, high reward. Roster at 39 now?

Crawford has been fantastic.

QUOTE (whtsoxfan @ Oct 26, 2015 -> 07:47 PM) Can't believe Getzlaf/Perry have combined 0 goals...wow, explains their 1-5-1 record They have 6 goals. No player on the Ducks has 3 points.

QUOTE (knightni @ Oct 26, 2015 -> 08:23 AM) They were both successful franchises during my kid/teen years so I'm indifferent as they both deserve a comeback. Although, the Royals' window is closing soon and the Mets' window is just starting to open. I'd say, the Royals winning would be the best option as the Mets will have the next 5 years to taunt and squash the Cubs' dreams. I think their window for their pitching is just about to open. Offensively, that's another story imo.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 26, 2015 -> 07:31 AM) Who? His offers are just Nebraska, Maryland, and Xavier from what I see. Shouldn't have too tough a time vs those guys. Not a bad offer list considering he originally committed to Tulane. All respectable teams. Supposedly he is known more for his rebounding and defending, but his shot looks pretty good, and he has good handles for a 2/3.

HIAC was alright. Quite a bit of botched moves tonight. Pretty pumped Del Rio is back and is now the US Champ.

Illinois has 6'6 wing Kipper Nichols on an official visit right now. Previously committed to Tulane.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Oct 23, 2015 -> 11:21 AM) It's absolutely not enough, but they're not going to sign all three. I think realistically they'll sign two players for IF spots and maintain the rest of the roster. If they do that, then they will be worse than last year. You mentioned Freese and Asdrubal Cabrera, I'd rather have Saladino/Olt and Alexei than them.

QUOTE (MnSoxFan @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 04:29 PM) Engel went 2-3 yesterday and is hitting .300 with a couple walks and SBs. Wendelken threw a scoreless inning as well. Big fan of Wendelken out of the pen. Glad he's had 2 solid outings in a row after his hiccup in game 1. Think he can be a good 7th-8th inning guy. QUOTE (Dunt @ Oct 23, 2015 -> 06:55 AM) Up to .357/.500/.429 after yesterdays performance. Man would that be a huge coup if he could produce a 700+ OPS with his defense and speed. If he can do well in AA, could be trade bait to use for an impact bat.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Oct 23, 2015 -> 10:54 AM) Those two alone are not enough. We need to add at least one impact bat. 2B: I'm fine with Sanchez. C: I want Wieters. If Wieters doesn't cost us a draft pick, I'll be fine with it. A 3-4 year deal would probably work for him. If a draft pick is attached to him, then no. Even though we'd have to give up assets, Derek Norris is the catcher I want. Plus defense, durable, and won't be a hole in the lineup.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 23, 2015 -> 10:12 AM) I just think this would be a disaster. An awful signing and bad strategy. I'd prefer we do nothing for 1 more year than this. The only better FA OF option in my eyes would be Heyward. Upton is still in his prime (28), while Gordon (32) and Cespedes (30) contracts will get ugly later because they all will end up getting 5-7 year deals. The only thing that Gordon really provides over Upton is plus defense. Can Gordon play RF? Do you move Melky to RF? Upton and Heyward have at least played RF in their careers.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Oct 23, 2015 -> 09:56 AM) I agree. Never say never but it seems like a long shot. Replace him with anyone it's Avi. Agreed.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 23, 2015 -> 09:56 AM) It would depend on what came back for it to be a mistake, but dangling him and trading him for prospects seems pretty silly considering he's a really good player now, and basically not going to break the bank for a long time. The problem with trading Q and guys like Eaton is twofold. Not only do you have to get at least as much talent and productivity back, you also are going to have to get it with reasonable contracts. If suddenly Trace Thompson isn't a major league regular, you can't get a decent CF for what the Sox will have to pay Eaton the next 4 or 5 years. Same with Q. It is mentioned on this board occasionally that the Sox have no financial flexibility. I disagree, but trading cost controlled good players can change that in a hurry. Everyone knows what it costs teams to sign an ace. The Sox have one getting paid like Javy Vazquez. Q is a solid #2 starter even though he is not a sexy one. Replacement cost in dollars would be astronomical. Eaton is in that boat as well. That would be an unbelievable leap of faith in a guy who hit .260 with barely a .300 OBP in AAA to dump your cost controlled catalyst of the offense. Couldn't of said it any better.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Oct 23, 2015 -> 09:23 AM) True, but it's an accepted risk (for me atleast) because if Eaton brings back a SS, suddenly we're not having to pay Ramirez and someone such as Zobrist can be signed. So you've effectively filled two positions by trading Eaton, and anything positive/negative from Thompson is just what we'll have to deal with. What about Anderson? Trading Eaton would be a huge mistake.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 07:33 PM) I wouldn't mind adding a guy like Freese at third or trading for Rockies McMahon prospect or something. Then work from there. Maybe Cabrera at SS as stop gap for Anderson. There's definitely some things we could do. We'll be players for some of the outfielders no doubt. McMahon is no closer to the majors as Trey Michalczewski is.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 08:08 PM) They actually debuted Breeze pretty perfectly. Hopefully they don't f*** him up too quick. I agree. Good debut.
