Wonder how mad Mariners fans are lol

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Oct 4, 2015 -> 05:55 PM) Yes, he has. I think his hitting is a fluke, but his defense is worthy of him being the 2016 center fielder I agree, but if he can play an elite CF with hitting 250-260 with 15+ HRs, I'll take it. QUOTE (Dunt @ Oct 4, 2015 -> 05:59 PM) Shuck mightve replaced him as 4th OF I think so too. I think Avi is trade bait.

Extend Qualifying Offer to SP Jeff Samardzija- he declines, Sox get a comp pick Pick up 10 option for SS Alexei Ramirez Resign: RP Matt Albers 1 year/3 million C Tyler Flowers 1 year/2 million Sign via Free Agency: RF Jason Heyward 8 years/180 million (opt out clause after 4 years/100 million) Trades: White Sox trade RP Zach Putnam to the Houston Astros for C Jason Castro White Sox trade 3B Trey Michalczewski, 2B Micah Johnson, SP Frankie Montas, OF Avi Garcia, and SP Tyler Danish for 3B Todd Frazier and SP Jonathan Crawford Rotation/Bullpen: SP Chris Sale (L) SP Jose Quintana (L) SP Carlos Rodon (L) SP Erik Johnson SP John Danks (L) (Until Fulmer is ready) RP Scott Carroll (Long Man) RP Dan Jennings (L) RP Jake Petricka RP Zach Duke (L) RP Matt Albers RP Nate Jones CP David Robertson Lineup: LF Adam Eaton (L) 1B Jose Abreu RF Jason Heyward (L) 3B Todd Frazier DH Melky Cabrera (S) CF Trayce Thompson C Jason Castro (L) SS Alexei Ramirez 2B Carlos Sanchez (S) Bench: OF J.B Shuck 1B Adam LaRoche C Tyler Flowers UTIL Tyler Saladino After this year the Sox would free up 38 million by letting Ramirez, LaRoche, and Danks go.

Let's go protected pick!

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 4, 2015 -> 04:53 PM) Ugh. Don't want sox season to end, regardless of how bad it was. I agree.

Impressive play by Saladino at SS.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Oct 4, 2015 -> 04:16 PM) No it isn't. you do that when you are ready to win. This is a good year to have 2 nice draft choices, for a team that desperately needs them. If you get a top 10 pick and Jeff says no to the QO, then Sox would still have 2 nice draft choices along with a chance of signing Heyward. That's an easy decision for me, you go and sign him.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Oct 4, 2015 -> 04:08 PM) With a top 10 first round pick and a comp pick for Shark this is a good year to go after a Heyward type player. I completely agree. Having 2 picks likely in the top 30 and getting Jason Heyward for a 2nd round pick? Sign me up. Of course, we have to lose today, and the Mariners have to win. If not, this all goes out the window.

QUOTE (LDF @ Oct 3, 2015 -> 10:30 PM) nice game... according the stats sheet .... no one had any meaningful hit. bickell 4 shots on goal and 0 hits. no pts. I watched the whole game. I don't know how someone missed Bickell's hits. He had 2 on his first shift of the game. Flattening one player against the boards as well. He actually had a pretty good game, was noticeable.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Oct 4, 2015 -> 08:08 AM) For the love of God, please tell me we haven't been eliminated from protected pick status!? We haven't. We need to lose today, and Seattle needs to win.

tie game

QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 3, 2015 -> 11:10 PM) And now an HBP. Lol A's are gonna win

Seattle winning 5-4 in the top of the 8th

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 3, 2015 -> 10:48 PM) I would like them to at least put fliers out for the "hot" candidates, but yeah, I'd have no issues with Cubit in that situation. Given all the drama, it's not easy to get college kids focused and ready to play every week. I agree to an extent because all those "hot" coaches are from the MAC and we've seen that before. I'm comfortable with Cubit and Golesh (recruiting coordinator) because they are starting to bring in some good talent.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 3, 2015 -> 09:33 PM) Hell yeah! Illinois football is just so much more enjoyable without Beckman on the sidelines. I feel like they are more disciplined without Beckman. If Cubit somehow gets to 7-5 or 8-4 before a bowl game, I think you have to take the interim tag off him and make him the permanent head coach.

Damn it Shuck. Such a good 4th OFer.

QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 3, 2015 -> 09:02 PM) Get this run in. We need an L. And they do off Dan Jennings who has been really good lately.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Oct 3, 2015 -> 07:53 PM) Hoping the Sox lose this and the next game. Need that top 10 pick! Sox lose and Seattle wins and I think Sox clinch a top 10 pick.

Panarin just stick handled around 3 stars players at center ice to set up a scoring chance. World class.

Illinois is 4-1. I'll take it anyway I can. Illinois just beat Nebraska! So happy right now.

I love you Chris Sale.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 2, 2015 -> 02:24 PM) Longoria is a name I had in the back of my head. He fits the bill as both a hitter, and fielder. Dont think we'd have to give up Q for him though.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Oct 2, 2015 -> 11:10 AM) Wow, that is big news. But with that said, while I haven't watched really any preseason, it could be good to give Dano a little bit of a wake up call, just because you were penciled in to play with Toews and Hossa, you have to earn it. See how he enjoys riding a bus in the AHL. While I expect the Hawks to be competitive this year, I'm also looking at it as sort of a development year as well. Not a bad thing. I could see Dano getting the Teuvo treatment from last year. Didn't make it out of camp last year, spend a month down in Rockford, come up and dominate. QUOTE (LDF @ Oct 2, 2015 -> 11:11 AM) they finally did it. according to some rumors, stan didn't want to do it, b/c he didn't want to loose bickell. why??? i just don't know what he see in him. i bet he goes unclaimed..... if he does, can the hawks bury him in the minors??? Yes, they would save 950K in cap.

Also, Bryan Bickell is on waivers.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Oct 2, 2015 -> 11:02 AM) You've been on the Heyward thing for awhile. No chance the Sox will be interested though. Sox were interested this last off season before the Cardinals got him. He's one player in free agency that fits the White Sox and still is young enough to build around the core of Abreu and Eaton.
