I would open mouth kiss Rick Hahn if he could somehow snag Sanchez

Any other notes from the scrimmage? How did Beck look?

Buehrle & AJ

Cutch

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Feb 21, 2014 -> 04:03 PM) He's already pitching. Archive? Just went to look up the time and saw this. That's a boner. I was planning my evening around that.

Who is all planning on watching the Jeff Hoffman start with me tonight? Looking forward to firmly planting myself on the couch with drink in hand

So who from the outfield is getting traded?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 20, 2014 -> 03:55 PM) Is opening day at home or on the road? Home

You spent the money, time to show off the new toy

I really dont understand the Peter Bourjos dicksuck fest. I get he is a great defender, but come on.

QUOTE (Jake @ Feb 18, 2014 -> 10:21 AM) I remain more excited about Turner than anyone else. The fact that we have the opportunity to score either Turner or Hoffmann makes me very excited. Looking a couple years down the line, a 1-2 of Turner and Eaton in front of Avi and JDA makes me very excited.

Heard Laurence Holmes say on 670 earlier tonight that Abreu was putting on a clinic in the batting cage today. Everybody is taking note of his work ethic and approach. I am really excited about this guy, I think we have the steal of the offseason.

Anybody know where to watch Hoffman's game against Virginia this friday?

I think Abreu will live up to the hype and have a monster season

I'm going with 80 wins. Yes that is incredibly optimistic. I am loving this team though.

I'm thinking this year it'll be: Eaton Alexei Abreu Dunn/Konerko Garcia Viciedo Davidson/Gillespie Phegley/Flowers Beckham

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 24, 2014 -> 12:27 PM) I think the team is headed in a good direction and its evident from the front office down. I like what they have been doing. Same. Im really liking the direction this franchise is headed. If they slow down the aggressive promotions of their minor leaguers, I will be really happy. I think having Robin around will play a huge part in Davidson's development.

Just broke on the Score

Erik Johnson in at 70 and Matt Davidson at 80, Courtney Hawkins drops out of the top 100. Thoughts? Pretty fair IMO, excited to have a few guys on there, expect more next season.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 23, 2014 -> 10:07 AM) Keep in mind that Rock said Rick Hahn loves Trea Turner. Could be a Jose Reyes type player if all the dominoes fall right. If Hoffman doesn't put up some numbers to match his stuff we could see NC State players taken 1-2. That being said, I hate even talking about where players are going to go at this point because it is all too early. Turner can be a very valuable player in this climate even if his power doesn't project to be a big part of his professional game. At the very least he should be a guy should with great range at SS and plus-plus speed to cause some disruption on offense. I would be more than ok with Turner coming to the Sox. Turner batting 1 with Eaton in the 2 hole sounds sexy to me.

I dont think Trayce Thompson should even be sniffinf the top 10 at this point, otherwise I think this is a great list.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jan 23, 2014 -> 12:13 AM) In the 3 or 4 starts I saw of his, he looked okay. But statistically speaking, he was not very good in those 5 starts. The starts I saw reminded me of Axelrod. I'm sure he will end up being better than that though. It won't be hard to surpass that bar. In his 5 starts, he had 3 of which were quality. All but one of the teams he threw against were playoff contenders. I think he did pretty damn well considering the circumstances. Didnt help that he had NO defense behind him in his first two games. I will agree that he needs to get his pitch counts down by attacking the zone more and walking less people, but I thought his September was very encouraging for this team.

QUOTE (dayan024 @ Jan 22, 2014 -> 10:04 AM) Phil Rogers ‏@philgrogers 1m @Ken_Rosenthal reports that White Sox were one of five teams in Tanaka bidding until the end, along w/@Yankees, @Cubs, @Dodgers @ @astros. Thanks for the breaking news Phil!

They just reported on the Score that Tanaka tweeted a decision has been made. I think we will hear today.

QUOTE (Al Lopez's Ghost @ Jan 18, 2014 -> 08:29 AM) Okay, this is weird and probably means nothing, but my email in-box this morning from White Sox.com had a bunch of new items to buy. The usual stuff, coats, a Luis Aparicio collage, a Jason Castro collage - A JASON CASTRO collage? How weird is that? Interesting...
