QUOTE (woods of ypres @ Nov 6, 2014 -> 06:06 PM) Mets are a close to competing. They only need a SS, and LFer they have a rotation and bullpen. If they think they can compete I could see it. Their payroll is low too. Alexei and Viciedo for some of their young pitching depth.

Well deserved. Hope he has enough shelving for all his awards this year.

Mets: Rafael Montero, Steven Matz and Cesar Puello Yankees: Clarkin and Judge Dodgers: They wouldn't give up Pederson, Seager, or Urias.

JJ Stankevitz @JJStankevitz · 1h 1 hour ago If Frank Montas can consistently throw the changeup he just did to strike out a righty...he's gonna be a heck of a starter. #WhiteSox JJ Stankevitz @JJStankevitz · 14m 14 minutes ago Frank Montas: 4.2 IP, 3 BB, 5 K, 5 H, 2 R. Command was sharp in first two innings and was spotty as game went on. #WhiteSoxTalk

Rays trade Caesar Ramos to the Angels

Viciedo and Phegley for Castro and Brett Oberholtzer?

QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 5, 2014 -> 09:28 AM) i would even settle for comp picks or slot and money. I would love a comp pick for Viciedo.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 5, 2014 -> 08:26 AM) So I need to find a RB for this week off of the scrap heap, any thoughts on this pile of garbage? Lorenzo Taliaferro Bal - RB Peyton Hillis NYG - RB Bryce Brown Buf - RB Cedric Peerman Cin - RB Toby Gerhart Jax - RB James Starks GB - RB All garbage. But, Taliaferro gets the most PT out of all of them.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Nov 5, 2014 -> 08:30 AM) Good call. For as upset as most of us are about Viciedo, non-tendering him would be stupid. I think he gets traded pretty soon. Agreed. I would tender him and then try to trade him. Even by tendering him, they would be around 56 million in contract commitments for 2015.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 4, 2014 -> 10:35 PM) I saw indefinitely. How bad did it look Emelin (Mon D man) hit Sharp into the boards, and it looks like Sharp's knee went pretty hard into the boards from the hit. Sharp hardly put any pressure on his knee coming off the ice and to the locker room.

David Kaplan is on twitter saying there's a rumor that Cubs are interested in Nick Swisher lololololololol

http://www.csnchicago.com/white-sox/sellin...ee-agency-pitch Thought it was interesting that Hayes got Lester to get some quotes in. Would you guys go after Lester? I know he's another lefty but he doesn't cost a draft pick and does a good playoff history. What he will get on the open market is scary what some numbers are being thrown out there, but if you were GM, would you bring in Lester? If yes, on what terms, if no, why not? Discuss.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Nov 4, 2014 -> 01:16 PM) Matt Swartz's highly celebrated arbitration projector was released on MLBTR: http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/11/proj...s-for-2015.html Here's the Sox section: White Sox (6) Ronald Belisario (4.151) – $3.9MM Tyler Flowers (3.148) – $2.1MM Dayan Viciedo (3.123) – $4.4MM Hector Noesi (3.006) – $1.9MM Nate Jones (3.000) – $600K Javy Guerra (2.133) – $1.3MM This should be a pretty reliable frame of reference for discussion until the actual figures come in. Definitely would keep Flowers, Noesi, Jones and Guerra for those prices. Viciedo is a toss up. Hope you can trade him, but possibly keep him Belisario is done. QUOTE (scs787 @ Nov 4, 2014 -> 01:30 PM) Agreed, so couple that with the 45.9 already signed up and we're looking at 51.8 in commitments. If these numbers hold true with the arbitration players guestimates. 51.8 million in commitments has a lot of room to spend this off season and next. I can't wait until Danks contract comes off the books now.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 4, 2014 -> 02:44 PM) Trayce isn't exactly burning up anyone's prospect lists anymore. He's a good defender, draws walks, has power, just doesn't hit for much contact and strikes out a lot. Still could see him as a 4th OFer.

QUOTE (flavum @ Nov 4, 2014 -> 01:35 PM) https://twitter.com/BerniePleskoff/status/529718236670341121 I'm assuming this is nothing. Bassitt had a long, weird year. Should be competing in March. Trade bait. Kidding aside, this is weird.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 4, 2014 -> 11:26 AM) What is the market for Hanley Ramirez? It seems like a lot of teams prefer Headley/Sandoval? Who's been suspected to be in the bidding other than SF and LAD? Maybe the Red Sox? I think the big markets like Boston and the Dodgers are only in play for Hanley. But I would take him, his injury history does scare me a little bit. Just small nagging injuries he usually has.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Nov 4, 2014 -> 10:58 AM) I didn't want to start a new thread, but the New York Post predicted where the top 30 free agents would go. Only Masterson would sign with the Sox at 2/$18 million. Others that the Sox might be interested in: - Martin to the Rangers 4/$60 - Sandoval to The Red Sox 5/$100 - Martinez stays with the Tigers 4/$60 - Headley stays with the Yankees 3/$48 - Aoki to the Rangers 3/$24 And the Cubs will sign both Scherzer and Lester for a 8/$200 and 6/$140, respectively. I hope they do.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Nov 3, 2014 -> 01:15 PM) I think you're confusing "Montas sucks" with "He's good, but not worth keeping if it means we can get Jay Bruce back". I like Montas. I love his arm. I just don't think you gamble with a guy who MAY end up in the bullpen when you could be getting a guy like Jay Bruce back in return. There is a big difference in value if he ends up as a starter, or ends up as a reliever. I'm not willing to place his value at the highest end of that teeter-totter and have it cost us a chance to get Bruce. That's just my opinion. If people here want to think he's untouchable, so be it, but you'll never convince me he's not worth a guy like Jay Bruce, not at this stage in Montas' development. I'm all for getting Bruce, as he was in one of my first off season proposals, but I don't think I would give up on Montas quite yet. I'd offer Viciedo, Beck, Sanchez and Bassitt for Bruce and Marshall.

So what exactly is Danish's ceiling? Because he doesn't throw that hard but he has nasty stuff.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Nov 3, 2014 -> 01:06 PM) Won't happen but man it'd be hysterical if the Rays somehow got Bryant. I think it'd be hysterical if they got Russell, Almora, Baez or Edwards.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 3, 2014 -> 12:11 PM) Nothing like a big time QB commit to make your monday Who?
