Jose Abreu is gonna be our David Ortiz/Jose Bautista. I think an extension of 4 years/70 million is beneficial for everyone involved. Stick Abreu at DH in his later years and he lengthens that lineup a ton. I get exploring trades, but unless the right deal comes around like a Sale/Q type deal, I want Abreu around for this rebuild to be the captain and a mentor to the young players.

Guerrero is the only one that bothers me that is not protected. I would of DFA'd May for him. No one is gonna take Polo and Peter is a utility player.

QUOTE (2005thxfrthmmrs @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 09:46 PM) Let's just hope Pentecost makes it past the first 3 picks. Pentecost has done nothing to be warranted a pick at #4 imo. My hopes are the Sox claim Appel and DFA someone like May, and then draft Nick Burdi.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 03:23 PM) Leury? Really? Willy.

No real issues from me. I would of protected Guerrero and Peter as well and got rid of Saladino and Garcia

Bears sign K Cairo Santos. Dude was good with Chiefs then got hurt. Finally, Connor Barth is cut.

Agreed Brian. I liked the show, but the main event was just awful

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 16, 2017 -> 01:38 PM) *Suggestive eyebrow raise* Though the sonny gray trade helped a bit in that regard. One name I look at, Billy McKinney. Only 23, did well in AA/AAA, has no future in NY. I think he would be a good piece.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 16, 2017 -> 01:33 PM) The White Sox should find a couple of other teams that want to up their offers to Otani and take some prospects off their hands. If you can get a top 8 prospect for $500k, what could you get for a couple of million? Twins, Yankees, and Rangers come to mind.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 16, 2017 -> 11:22 AM) warm bodies but each with one plus tool He's also got a power curve. If he figures it out command wise, him and Burdi at the back end of the pen.....oh my.....

With the roster now at 36, figure Covey, Petricka, Putnam, Saladino, Willy Garcia, Hansen, May, Tilson, and Palka all could be in jeopardy.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 16, 2017 -> 11:15 AM) Nice move. As others, I don't expect us to compete for Otani, so taking advantage of that market in this way is nice to see. Burr and now Vieria are the types of players I like seeing added. Even the SS we added from the Rangers is a decent prospect. That kid was a 7 figure signing bonus and is still young.

Luzardo, Murphy, and Jefferies?

QUOTE (knightni @ Nov 3, 2017 -> 08:58 AM) https://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/white-s...-coach-of-year/ 27 years old. Pretty impressive. Played against him in college. Pretty cool to see he's having success managing with my favorite team.

Goodell needs to hand over his email and phone records in this Kaep collusion case. I really hope he's a big enough idiot to collude and this could fire him.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 4, 2017 -> 01:38 PM) The team looks like it is building depth for his move, after pretty much saying that they didn't consider him a part of the core going forward. For me 2+2 =4. When did the team say that they didn't consider him part of the core going forward?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 4, 2017 -> 09:45 AM) Betweeen Gillaspie and now this kid, I think we can kiss Abreu good bye. Really? lol

https://twitter.com/BradBiggs/status/925746340751204352 Watch this guys. This is a terrible explanation of why it was overturned. Based on that replay this dude provided, you can't see s*** and these officials and replay keeps embarrassing themselves

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 31, 2017 -> 05:54 PM) I just don't see a whole of big things happening this winter. The two guys who we might trade don't have any real trade value as of now in Abreu and Avi. We also aren't going out and signing anyone of note this winter. It is going to be a long and quiet winter. I think we can sign some good pen guys like McGee and Shaw because they would still be here when we are good and all it will cost is money.

QUOTE (Butter Parque @ Oct 31, 2017 -> 05:29 PM) You're not getting Realmuto for that. You're right, but I think Dunning could be a good starting piece. QUOTE (coco1997 @ Oct 31, 2017 -> 05:35 PM) I wouldn't trade those guys for two catchers when Narvaez is fairly serviceable and Collins is almost ready. I think a veteran presence and one with better defensive numbers can be better. Narvaez hits and has a good eye, but he doesn't hit for any power and we know everyone complains about his framing. QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Oct 31, 2017 -> 05:42 PM) Disgusted What would you do?

Resign: RP Al Albuquerque 1 year/1 million Extension: 1B Jose Abreu 4 years/65 million million Trades: White Sox trade RF Avisail Garcia to the Cardinals for OF Tyler O'Neil, SP Sandy Alcantara, and a lower level prospect. White Sox acquire C Yasmani Grandal from the Dodgers for SP Jordan Stephens and SP Luis Martinez or White Sox acquire C JT Realmuto from the Marlins for SP Dane Dunning and OF Micker Adolfo Free Agency: SP Michael Pineda 1 year/8 million RP Jake McGee 3 years/20 million RP Bryan Shaw 3 years/21 million CF Cameron Maybin 1 year/5 million Lineup: SS Tim Anderson 2B Yoan Moncada 1B Jose Abreu C Yasmani Grandal DH Matt Davidson LF Nicky Delmonico RF Tyler O'Neil 3B Carlos Sanchez CF Cameron Maybin Bench: UTIL Tyler Saladino C Omar Narvaez OF Adam Engel UTIL Jake Peter Starting Rotation SP James Shields SP Lucas Giolito SP Michael Pineda SP Reynaldo Lopez SP Carson Fulmer Bullpen: RP Gregory Infante RP Al Alburquerque RP Danny Farquhar RP Chris Beck RP Aaron Bummer RP Jake McGee RP Bryan Shaw Thoughts? What would you guys do?

Go Browns. If they beat the Vikings and Packers lose with a Bears win, Bears would be 1 game back lol

QUOTE (Da_Goob @ Oct 24, 2017 -> 10:08 AM) It isn’t, but I’m thinking the illini get both unless something changes during the in-homes. i think this too. I think Underwood will have a clear plan on how to treat this matter for both families.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 23, 2017 -> 09:48 PM) Not sure if you are a scout insider but yea, there's beef still. Piper and Snow have been feeding info all day. What is the beef about? This is so childish. QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 23, 2017 -> 09:50 PM) Quite frankly, the staff would get killed if they lose Ayo in one week. They cannot afford the PR hit, they can't comment on it and Ayo can, they would lose. I swear this only happens to Illinois. QUOTE (Da_Goob @ Oct 23, 2017 -> 09:59 PM) Just 4 days ago he talked about building a legacy at Illinois. How he values loyalty. If he leaves it definitely doesn't look good. Luckily, I've read that even if he does leave the Irvins still really like the staff. Apparently the Irvins want the kids to play together, Ayo and THT don't mind, but it's Ayo's parents for some reason that have the biggest issue. This is unreal. If Ayo and THT are fine playing together, isn't that all that should matter? If the parents are the issue then have them sit in different sections or something. Ayo's credibility will take a big hit if this were to happen.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 23, 2017 -> 05:44 PM) Ugh, I HATE CPL recruiting. It's such a big thing for Illinois but the drama and craziness that comes with it is exhausting. THT announcing Thursday, at this point Illinois has to choose between him and Ayo (how awful would that look to lose him) or hope Jesus comes down and makes everything ok. I've heard the rumored beef, but Irvin did say that they have no beef with each other and THT did follow Ayo on twitter if that means anything lol.
