QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 15, 2018 -> 08:31 AM) I'd say #3 Jimenez and???

QUOTE (gatnom @ Jan 11, 2018 -> 09:47 PM) Smith has looked horrible most of the season. Not saying he won't ever work out, but I'm not counting on him until he starts playing better. Damonte has played well as a role player, though, you're right. Ebo has turned into a decent back up as well. Has really progressed as the season has went on.

QUOTE (Da_Goob @ Jan 11, 2018 -> 09:36 PM) He needs to give the team HGH so they don't get outrebounded by the guys so much bigger than them. The team just has absolutely no size and Finke shooting 0% from 3 in big ten play has rendered him absolutely useless. Replace Finke with a transfer Center, replace Alstork with Ayo, and let all everyone grow a year. I'll officially lose enthusiasm if we don't make the tournament next year. The 2019 class is gonna be the real tell. I think Illinois lands Okoro, Liddell, and Whitney

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jan 11, 2018 -> 09:27 PM) My enthusiasm for Underwood is officially wavering. Don't think that's fair yet. Team has shown flashes but this team has 0 inside presence and that's all on Groce. Outside of Black, Ebo is the best big right now who is actually playing well as of late.

Hawks trade Panik and Dauphin for Duclair and Clendenning. Great deal for the Hawks.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jan 5, 2018 -> 10:17 PM) What you guys are telling me is you didn't want me to shed some light on the fact KC fans wanted to run Soria out of town last season and blamed him for everything. I should have stifled myself I guess. Everybody from little kids to little ol ladies wanted to run Soria out of Kansas City. I enjoy reading all the stats in these threads. I guess you'll just have to wait and see. Again it doesn't matter cause we are a 60ish win team again so let Soria pitch all he wants. Those of you who root for losses will enjoy seeing him serve up meat ... UNLESS Mr. Coop works magic. ... I'll stop now. But you have to admit you can do a lot of things with stats and apologists have really been trying their best to support Jack with stats in this thread. The stats say he was pretty good, but you can ignore that like you usually do because KC fans say that he was bad. ok.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jan 5, 2018 -> 07:32 PM) In a perfect world he would have been at Kanny in 2017 instead of the DR. Tax reasons were the cause of this. It's really not a big deal.

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Jan 4, 2018 -> 07:43 PM) Interesting. Guess they would have put him back at 3B? I'd stick him in LF with Delmonico and they can alternate playing the field and DH'ing

Greg, Soria had a 2.23 FIP last year and striking out over 10 hitters per 9 innings. He was damn good last year.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jan 4, 2018 -> 05:53 PM) I can assure you that is not true. The bonus pod is Hall of Fame related I think he could of. If not, scrap that podcast and edit it to talk about the trade.

QUOTE (KnightsOnMintSt @ Jan 4, 2018 -> 05:50 PM) Any guesses on who could be on the move from the White Sox? I would guess a high priced player from our team (Shields) or minor league depth like Jacob May or someone like that.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 4, 2018 -> 05:44 PM) I hope Joc Pederson is involved. That is a reclamation project I could get behind. I agree with this, but I definitely think it's Kemp plus a couple prospects for something

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Jan 2, 2018 -> 11:40 PM) I despise all of the "hot names" in coaching this offseason. Have a horrible feeling whoever they pick, they are doomed. Pick a name out of a hat, why dontcha, because everyone's getting s***canned in 2020. Well, why? They are all great candidates.

Craig Mish @CraigMish 6m6 minutes ago One of the better FA LH RP out there is Fernando Abad. Several teams showing interest : Reds, White Sox, Orioles, Giants, Braves & A's among good fits. We desperately need a LHP

Michigan is not a good football team.

Pace has a press conference on New Year's day after the final game. Tells me Fox is gone and that Pace (like we expected) has kept his job.

QUOTE (Quin @ Dec 28, 2017 -> 12:01 AM) Do we watch the same Portis? He's a matador on defense. Meanwhile Niko has been diving all of the place for loose balls and keeps his feet moving. And no, Portis' attitude sucks because he's always mean mugging and flexing after every shot. That's fine for the big moments, but it's all the damn time. I respectively disagree.

QUOTE (Quin @ Dec 26, 2017 -> 11:27 PM) Portis' attitude and defense both suck, but his value is skyrocketing at the moment due to the winning. He makes me think of Boozer, but if Boozer had an insufferable attitude. Niko can play new age center next to Lauri. Niko is a better shooter, but Portis is definitely the better defender and can still shoot the ball. Have you seen Niko play defense, 0 toughness, and would get eaten alive down low. That's why I think Portis can be because of the style he plays. Also, how does Portis' attitude suck? Because he punched a guy?

QUOTE (Quin @ Dec 26, 2017 -> 09:59 PM) Trade Portis and Lopez ASAP. Reevaluate Niko on the 15, trade Holiday then. Trade Niko keep Portis. Portis has that grit, edge to come off the bench on a good team I think. He can score and rebound the ball, plus he's younger and cheaper.

The current age of the Sox 40 man roster is 25.6. Has to be one of the youngest in the league.

Kind of upset WWE put the tag titles on Rollins and Jordan.
