QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 30, 2016 -> 10:56 AM) An impossible thought from last night... Say the Cubs do get knocked out by the Indians. If the Cubs come to the White Sox with a player package starting around Kyle Schwarber, could a deal get done? What would it take to get a deal done? Schwarber, Baez, Almora, and Jimenez

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 29, 2016 -> 04:20 PM) Cocaine was big in the 80s and early 90s. It seems to be making a comeback. Non crack that is. I live in the NW suburbs. Heroin is really big out here. Within the last year, already know 3 kids a year older than me that have OD'd on Heroin.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 27, 2016 -> 11:05 AM) The Sox haven't traded their TOP prospects for years. It won't happen this year either. With the fall that Hansen had, there is zero chance he get dealt. I could see a chance at Fulmer getting dealt, but what that means is the Sox saw something in him they didn't like. But if they decide to "go for it" again, maybe they take the risk and trade them. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if they did that and I would hate it.

Currently 5-2 in my big money league. Just traded Matt Forte, Mike Wallace and Jacob Tamme for Alshon Jeffery, Coby Fleener, and Zach Ertz. Only 4 teams make the playoffs and I'm in 3rd. This is my current team. 2 QB league with big play bonus points and PPR QB Big Ben QB Derek Carr RB David Johnson RB Zeke Elliot WR TY Hilton WR Alshon Jeffery TE Coby Fleener FLEX Melvin Gordon DEF Broncos K Mike Nugent Bench QB Dak Prescott RB Jordan Howard WR Stefon Diggs WR Will Fuller TE Zach Ertz DEF Ravens Thoughts?

QUOTE (hi8is @ Oct 27, 2016 -> 01:47 PM) You guys are missing the point of this thread. Live in fantasy land where JR is a billionaire and gives Rick an open budget. For s***s and giggles make the team you'd want. Cespedes and Encarnacion. RF Eaton LF Melky 1B Abreu DH Encarnacion CF Cespedes 3B Frazier SS Anderson 2B Lawrie C Avila

I want a full scale rebuild, but I have a feeling Sox will trade Hansen and Fulmer this off season

Is Michael Vick available?

Benintendi, Devers, Groome, and Kopech are a must for me. Add 1 or 2 more like Swihart or Rodriguez and we have a deal.

Anyone see the pictures of Undertaker using crutches to get around now?

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Oct 12, 2016 -> 08:41 PM) I don't see NY, CHC, PIT, WSH, TEX, or STL as matches. The only other team besides Boston that I think could swing this type of deal is LA but they'd have to be willing to part with Urias I'd think. Pittsburg definitely has the prospects to get a deal done. Glasnow, Taillon, Bell, Gregory Polonco, Meadows, Newman, Keller, Hayes

Hartman!

Who had Panik with the 1st goal of the season? And on the PP!

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 10, 2016 -> 06:38 PM) Does Tilmon stay? Assumed a Dee was a major part of his commitment. Yes, he stays. Illinois in the final 2 for Abu Kigab with Oregon. Illinois in the final 3 for Kris Wilkes with UCLA and IU. Oregon leads for Kigab I believe, and there is a bit of small hope for Wilkes. It'll be interesting. Mayan Kiir also visited recently too. Which would be a huge get.

David Robertson to the Giants?

QUOTE (Dunt @ Oct 7, 2016 -> 01:42 PM) It's unfortunate that the Rangers don't really have that many interesting prospects anymore, because they definitely look like they could use some pitching help. Mazara, Gallo, Profar, Speas, Mendez are all intriguing

Hawks on the verge of acquiring Nail Yakupov from the Oilers. Supposedly no roster players from the Hawks end are involved and money retained from EDM part is likely. Love it.

Go Dodgers

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Oct 5, 2016 -> 07:32 AM) I think if you really listen to what Rick has been saying lately, it seems like the rebuild is coming. If a rebuild is coming, get rid of Q and Sale, no sense of keeping 1 or the other

White injuries make Alshon a must resign.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 2, 2016 -> 09:17 PM) Here's one: James Shields cannot be on this team. Please get rid of him. Gonna eat his money? No team will trade for him. Why not try and see if he can pitch well and trade him at the deadline?

The yearly off season plan thread has begun. I'll give my thoughts on the off season and all of you come up with your off season plan for our beloved White Sox. I for one are all in on a rebuild, so I will base my off season off that. Manager: Rick Renteria Free Agent Signings: 3B Luis Valbuena 1 year/5 million CF Carlos Gomez 1 year/7 million SP Ivan Nova 1 year/5 million Trades: SP Chris Sale and 2B/3B Brett Lawrie to the Boston Red Sox for 2B Yoan Moncada, OF Andrew Benintendi, SP Michael Kopech, 3B Rafael Devers, and C/OF Blake Swihart RP David Robertson to the Texas Rangers for OF Joey Gallo LF Melky Cabrera to the Giants for SP Tyler Beede SP Jose Quintana to the Dodgers for SP Julio Urias, OF Alex Verdugo, and SP Jose De Leon 3B Todd Frazier to the Astros for SP Francis Martes and RP Riley Ferrell RF Adam Eaton (L) SS Tim Anderson 1B Jose Abreu CF Carlos Gomez 2B Yoan Moncada (L) LF Andrew Benintendi (L) DH Joey Gallo (L) 3B Tyler Saladino C Blake Swihart (S) C Omar Narvaez (L), OF Charlie Tilson (L), 2B/SS Carlos Sanchez (S), 1B/3B Luis Valbuena (L) SP James Shields SP Carlos Rodon (L) SP Ivan Nova SP Julio Urias (L) SP Miguel Gonzalez RP Anthony Raunado RP Jake Petricka RP Tommy Kahnle RP Dan Jennings (L) RP Will Lamb (L) RP Nate Jones RP Zack Burdi Thoughts?

Levine reporting that KW isn't stepping down lol

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Sep 29, 2016 -> 07:56 AM) Reinsdorf no doubt wants to win, but it has to be done his way. And quite frankly, that's the problem. He's not willing to go above and beyond what's necessary to overcome our poor farm system in order to build a winner. Signing a bunch of B free agents and never going into the red isn't going to cut it when we get very little help from the minors. He doesn't like utilizing loopholes, such as refusing to go over slot for years in the draft, and he's generally never been a big supporter of investing large dollars into said minor league system (with a few exceptions). Worst of all, he's built an organization with no accountability. How Buddy Bell is still here after years of development failure is beyond belief. The same arguably applies to KW, Hahn, & Ventura. Combine these factors amongst others, and it's no wonder we're stuck in baseball hell right now. I've never been a Reinsdorf hater, but we desperately need fresh blood at the top of this organzation. I think the Tigers are the perfect example. Old owner who wants to win and will sign good players to keep them in the hunt each year. Sure, the contracts will hurt as those players get older, but if you want to win now, why not? Have the next owner/regime figure out that problem. Then you have the Sox, they sign Rollins, Latos, Albers, and Jackson lol.

Nightengale said did anyone really think the Sox were gonna make the playoffs in any of the last 4 years. Didn't he pick the Sox to make the playoffs in 2015? Pretty sure Pedro Gomez picked them to win the WS. Also, pretty sure Rosenthal picked them to go to the playoffs too. This article is straight from KW in my opinion. Fearless and unpopular decisions lol. My god, this is the worst piece I've seen from BN. By the way, if Robin is the manager next year and we trade Sale, I'm not going to a single game.
