At least he closed down the game against the world champs

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Nov 18, 2014 -> 10:15 PM) We are talking about a sport where a $100 million payroll puts you at the bottom half of the spending list, and many young players are paid 1/20th of their worth in open market. There are plenty of money to spend around the league, that's why I am not too caught up by the Zach Duke deal. Everyone is overpaid now. If you aren't overpaying you aren't getting players. Better be damn good in the draft/International signings if you don't want to spend the money to sign the guys to help you win

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Nov 18, 2014 -> 10:05 PM) Man, I really thought I was going to nail my Saul prediction in Sunday's episode. I guess I still could. I feel like Homeland has gotten better the past 2 or 3 episodes

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 18, 2014 -> 08:09 PM) That is a LOT of money for Billy Butler. This day and age everyone is going to be getting more then we think they deserve. Just the nature of free agency and the MLB

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 18, 2014 -> 02:39 PM) Of course it's expensive. They decided to outbid another team for a guy that appears to be a reliable LHP out of the pen. Wait, who are you?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 17, 2014 -> 01:27 PM) Chris Cotillo ‏@ChrisCotillo 60m60 minutes ago #BlueJays are among the teams showing legitimate interest in Jon Lester, per @bradfo. IF so you would think Buehrle would be heavily shopped

QUOTE (flavum @ Nov 16, 2014 -> 08:02 PM) https://twitter.com/DOBrienAJC/status/534123924477739008 If the Braves are more likely to trade a setup guy, the White Sox probably match up with them pretty well. Jordan Walden, David Carpenter. Somebody named Anthony Varvaro who I never heard of, or forgot. IF they are trading a bullpen piece I want Shae Simmons Simmons

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Nov 16, 2014 -> 07:27 PM) Not sure but if I had to guess, maybe Beck? Oh wow! Good call. Don't know how I missed that. Pirates seem like a good trade partner for the Sox depending on what the Pirates are looking for in return. I assume they want pitching/MI

QUOTE (dayan024 @ Nov 13, 2014 -> 04:24 PM) @timdierkes: Dark horses for Yasmany Tomas? Hearing there are three "very unlikely" teams among those still in the mix for him. I'm hearing there are at least 23 teams that would love to sign him but are very not unlikely to be not be involved..

QUOTE (Baron @ Nov 13, 2014 -> 03:13 PM) They met him with him I think 3 times. They seem pretty interested Doesn't necessarily mean he would want to play for a losing team and in that ballpark.. You would think after seeing the success of Abreu he would want to come here or a hitter's friendly park.. But it is probably all about the money with him and his agent

Why would any hitter go to the Padres? If they do get him they must have offered him a lot more money and a starting position

Apparently nobody knows right now.. If it isn't us I hope it is a NL team

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Nov 13, 2014 -> 12:33 AM) or Jose Igelsias. Maybe if Leury Garcia.. I don't think Rondon could be much worse.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 12, 2014 -> 09:48 PM) I agree that Montas should go on because someone would use him as a bullpen piece in my opinion. But, I think there is no way someone picks up Rondon. The fact that Brendan Ryan still has a job proves otherwise

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Nov 12, 2014 -> 05:42 PM) I'd expect this deal to be done soon. Mets are stuck. How are they stuck? We got 4 and a half months until the season starts..

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 12, 2014 -> 03:14 PM) http://tosh.cc.com/video-clips/hfuztk/spor..._111214_tosh_70 Watch it. That was great lol.. I need to start watching Tosh.0 again.

Damn it

Close!

QUOTE (juddling @ Nov 11, 2014 -> 04:35 PM) IMO The Blacklist is the best show on tv right now.......... One of my girlfriend and I's favorite shows. She was pretty upset that it doesn't come back on until Feb.

I would think almost every team is interested in him

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
