QUOTE (daggins @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:29 PM) On any given day i'd say Sale vs Greinke is close to a wash. Q is better than Miller and Corbin's upside is less than Rodon. That was pretty much what I said in a nutshell. "Quintana is not better than Miller, Corbin is better then Rodon" is what he said. I think Rodon and Corbin are pretty similar with Rodon having the higher upside and he is 4 years younger

So my brother is a DBacks fan and we are having a discussion about the top 3 in both teams rotations. Grienke-Miller-Corbin Sale-Quintana-Rodon Who you taking? I think if Sale was in the NL he would have some way better numbers ERA wise

QUOTE (spiderman @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:19 PM) How does Lawrie's WAR compared to the cumulative WAR at 3B last season? How does he project to hit 1/2 of his games in Chicago? Defensively, is he considered, below average, average, above average? I think he hits 20 bombs next year and hits .250-.260

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:16 PM) @AdamSpankyEaton: Welcome @blawrie13 ! #WhiteSox #BoutDamnTime I am worried about those two on the same team but who knows, maybe they will be best buds

I thought we would have given up a lot more then that. I am more then happy with this deal.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:08 PM) Fake account. Shuck is NOT in the deal LOOOOK

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:06 PM) CONFLICTING REPORTS!!! the one I posted came straight from the White Sox twitter

We win!!!

BREAKING: White Sox have acquired Brett Lawrie from the A's in exchange for LHP Zachary Erwin & RHP J.B. Wendelken.

Well lets see who gave in.

Homeland and The Affair both renewed

I would much rather go after Dickerson

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 05:29 PM) You've heard or you're guessing? He was saying because of how close we were to trading for Lawrie

Back to the waiting game

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 04:21 PM) Frazier has put up over a 9 WAR over the past 2 seasons. He's a solidly above average defender. He takes more walks than Lawrie, he strikes out less. He hit 35 HR last year. Todd Frazier is a damn all star caliber player and he's not even 30. I don't give 2 flying fudgesicles that Brett Lawrie is a "grinder" and he "plays mean" or whatever. The dude sucks. If we had Lawrie, we would be trying to see if he could upgrade over him right now. He's Gordon Beckham without the fun personality. HE IS NOT GOOD. We all know Frazier is much better and we would rather have him but the price for him is likely too much for us to trade

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 04:07 PM) @JoeStiglichCSN #Athletics, White Sox still talking Lawrie, but it's been a struggle agreeing on prospects that would go to Oak, I'm told. That's what happens when you don't have a lot of assets to trade.. Or when you don't want to be taken advantage of. We have some good assets but we shouldn't trade most of them for Lawrie, I am glad we aren't giving in like we have in the past

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 04:03 PM) Are you kidding? You'd rather trade Anderson or Fulmer for 2 years of Frazier instead of a lower level guy for Lawrie? He REALLY hates Lawrie for some reason. Dude must have kicked his dog

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 02:35 PM) Are this point they need as much help as they can get I don't want to make this into a Cabrera thread so mods if you want to move these that is fine but: What is the point of signing Cabrera unless we are going all in to try and win this year? We have younger guys who are worth a shot at 2B and SS so to sign him would seem almost pointless

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 02:27 PM) One less team on asdrubal cabrera We don't need him

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 12:55 PM) Just spent the last hour and a half taking an exam. Really thought something would have happened in that time. I think it won't happen until tonight

Can we keep this thread about Lawrie?

This deal better be done by the time I get up from my nap!!

QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 12:46 AM) Let's talk about the trade instead of the parameters of who Chilihead roots for. Who do you guys think is in the return? I know the Sox have been talking on this for weeks and supposedly Oakland wanted EJ so as long as he's not involved you have to think the Sox got what they want. I would say OF and P prospect. I don't know a whole lot about our prospects except the more well known ones so I would say Hawkins and a lower level Pitcher

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 12:42 AM) One last comment on him as a person..... When Lawrie first heard he was going to be added to the "40"-man roster. Can you please make a thread of your most embarrassing pictures? lol
