QUOTE (GreenSox @ Nov 11, 2014 -> 02:48 PM) How do you define the money being right? The marginal benefit from another number 1 is less than the marginal benefit of using that money in places of real need. For example, a number 3 and a good LF would benefit the sox more than a number 1 It is tough to put a number on it really. $20 million a year would be ideal but is also not realistic for what Scherzer is wanting and what another team will pay for. Another pitcher is of real need. We can't compete with Noesi, Danks, and Bassit as our 3, 4, and 5 so getting another starter that is equal or better then Quintana is important IMO.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Nov 11, 2014 -> 02:39 PM) Adding a number 1 when sox have so many holes isn't best use of resources What is wrong with having two #1's and #2? If it wasn't for the money I would be all for having him but that isn't realistic. There is nothing wrong with getting another #1 if the money is right.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 10, 2014 -> 09:39 PM) OK.

I am cool with him as the DH if we can get Sandoval

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 10, 2014 -> 02:41 PM) So your "source" is MLB Trade Rumors and solely MLB Trade Rumors. OK. Always wondered what his "source" was. I always assumed it is where everyone else got the reports and he didn't have a master source.

Is this going to be discussed every off-season? We aren't trading Sale.

Rebounding/Defense is a huge concern which is nuts to think about. We are being outhustled by everyone

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 4, 2014 -> 10:31 PM) Yes how dare Thibs not play McDermott the entire 2 nd half in the fourth game Thibs has had him. What a stubborn asshole! He does this every time these four games! What is the point of overworking some of these guys in the 4th game against the damn Magic.

I am tired of Thibs and his stubbornness and s***ty rotations. McBuckets has 12 points in the first half and has 1 minute played in the 2nd.. Brilliant

So did he survive?

If no Martinez then I really want Sandoval.

I would be very happy with getting him.. Go protection for Abreu. I don't think he will be horribly worse with age. Can't imagine him hitting less then .270 throughout a 3 year contract. I would expect a few more home runs playing at US Cellular. Eaton Ramirez Abreu Martinez Garcia Gillaspie LF Flowers/C Semien/Sanchez/Johnson Could be a good line up depending on who we get for the extra OF spot.

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Nov 1, 2014 -> 04:52 PM) Brewers were perhaps the team with the most clear need for an upgrade at 1B. Meaning the market for VMart, LaRoche, Butler, and Morales is pretty much down to -White Sox -Tigers -Royals -Mariners -Rangers edit: obviously, trades could occur putting other teams in this group as well We don't need an upgrade at 1st. We need an upgrade at DH with a guy who can play 1st 10-15 times a year maybe.. And I think Gillaspie can play 1st

Black-ish was funny this week. Starting to really like the show

Is there ever a SoxTalk thread that stays on topic for more then a page or 2?

Only thing I like is the jerseys

This LeBron/Cleveland thing on SportsCenter is just absurd. It's disgusting

Alright Pablo, come help bring one to the Sox please

Wow!!!

All high fastballs with the lefty on deck

Oh my.. Blanco.

Butler is the key in the inning. got to get him out

QUOTE (Baron @ Oct 29, 2014 -> 10:04 PM) Madison or Casilla in the 9th? Casilla isn't warming so Madison.. But you have to have him warming up ready just in case. Don't put all your eggs in one basket

I am sure he will get to AA by mid season if he doing well in A+

I know Madison is doing great but how do you not have someone in the bullpen getting ready just in case
