Very cool. If anyone on the board goes to these games down south, I applaud you for being part of this. Wish I could. I think Charlotte, Birmingham, and Winston Salem will all have very interesting teams this year. I would expect to see those numbers climb even though the results are already great

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 6, 2015 -> 08:05 PM) Just lazy play. Need some shakeup back there. I really do hate Oduya and can't wait to see him gone next year. Ever since Crawford's injury, he has been pretty bad. He is coming way out of his net on shots and not securing rebounds. Really p***ing me off lately.

Tigers signed LHP Tom Gorzelanny to a 1 year deal.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 6, 2015 -> 08:53 AM) Steph is amazing no matter what you think of that segment. I just watched that segment and she had me laughing through out. I think she is so awkward lol.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 6, 2015 -> 08:39 AM) Some weird tweets and posts about the illinois program this morning. Some line-up changes coming due to injury? Care to post them? I saw Loyalty tweet something using the emoji of the face covering its mouth or something.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 6, 2015 -> 07:45 AM) If you didn't enjoy that ending last night, you don't enjoy life. I was laughing so hard. That was the dumbest ending in the history of RAW. The whole getting fired thing is old as others have said and the writers have gotten so bad, that its insanely predictable.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 01:07 PM) Chicago White Sox ‏@whitesox 2m2 minutes ago #SoxFest2015 hotel packages are SOLD OUT! A limited number of single-day passes will be available at http://whitesox.com/SoxFest Friday at 10 am. Maybe that'll buy K-Rod for the 8th inning. That'd be pretty cool.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 01:10 PM) http://instagram.com/p/xeq9VMsJe6/ Ha! Perfect. This could be a 2 year/7 million deal if he does well. One of the best bench guys in the league, I'll pay that every single time.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 09:53 AM) He doesn't hit left handed very well. .250/.311/.326, .286 wOBA, 73 wRC+ in 1947 career PAs against RHP as a LHH He said he hits lefties. Left handed pitchers, where he is much better when he hits righty. You just mixed them up.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 09:30 AM) I think just the opposite. The Astros are the most sabermetric team in baseball. Viciedo is a sabermetric bum. I understand, but they wanted to spend a ton of money on a closer when they were #2 to both Miller and Robertson and that that is not part of the saber metric system.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 09:21 AM) Yeah, sometimes there's a lag time between a signing being made public and a physical to make it official. Could be days, and they're obviously trying to move Viciedo for anything. Viciedo makes a lot of sense to the Astros in my opinion? Anyone agree?

QUOTE (flavum @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 09:15 AM) Looking at the makeup of the team, it's too bad Davidson isn't good enough to be a straight platoon with Gillaspie at 3B. If he has another good ST, I think he can certainly compete to be that platoon for Gillaspie. Then make the bench Davidson, Bonifacio, Danks, Brantly/Kottraras QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 09:16 AM) Finally, what SoxPride18 and I have been clamoring for for months!!! That's what I'm talking about. Had this signing in my very first off season mock.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jan 3, 2015 -> 09:17 PM) Things have been pretty slow around here, so I just wanted to create a discussion regarding how things have gone so far this off season and what you expect the rest of the off season. For me, I don't think I would of done a single thing different. I have loved every move so far whether it was the small Dan Jennings deal, to the huge deals with Samardzija, Robertson, and Cabrera. The rest of the off season, I would love to add Emilio Bonifacio, another bullpen arm (Adams? Crain? Cotts? Janssen? Ogando?), and possibly another starter depth wise. What are your guys thoughts? One chip down.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 08:35 AM) the @chisox bonifacio deal also includes a club option for 2016 https://twitter.com/JonHeymanCBS/status/552110895779028993 Very creative by Hahn. He has a good year, he gets extended. I love it.

It's now official, Rick Hahn reads Soxtalk. YES!!!!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 3, 2015 -> 08:55 PM) Last I read he wanted to be a starter somewhere. A starter on a bad team or a contending team? Because I think the Sox could/will be a contending team, and I think he can definitely start here at 2B.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 31, 2014 -> 02:18 PM) Agreed. One of the things I've always admired about the Lakers (even though they are screwed now), for the best example, or maybe also Yankees, is how they totally behave with the attitude of "if you are the best in the league, you are going to be a Laker". And things just kind of fall in line. There is no reason a flagship franchise like the Bears should not have that attitude, except they've been a bumbling, poorly performing franchise for 25 years and 25 years before that. But they have the resources to say to DeCosta "we will give you whatever amount you want, and the power to create the franchise in your image with 100% support. Go". If he turns down, fine, but why not go after that? He's clearly the creme de la creme. I definitely agree. With a guy like DeCosta, you can't just offer him the GM job imo. He has done such a great job with the Ravens that I think you would have to offer him a presidency role along with high money to sway him out of Baltimore.

TCU showing people why they should of been #4. Spanking Ole Miss 42-0 early in the 3rd. I'm one that thought they definitely did not deserve to lose their 4th spot before that last week. TCU would definitely put up a better fight than a 3rd string QB Ohio State team.

I think a DeCosta (Ravens GM) and Kubiak (Ravens OC) would be best case scenario for the Bears GM & HC job. I have always been a fan of the Ravens drafts, hence why they are consistently good. And Kubiak brings HC experience who is dedicated to the run, runs 2 TE sets and a lot of play action.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 31, 2014 -> 01:20 PM) Well that sucks. Yeah I wanted him as a 4th OFer. Cubs only got him for 2.5 million. I would of loved to match that deal.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 31, 2014 -> 01:04 PM) I don't even care about his glove, but his bat has been worse than Leury Garcia's to this point. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I can hit better than this guy.
