Jose Abreu

PSA: lids.com has some really good deals on Sox gear today. I bought a cap and a couple shirts, and a Bulls jersey for $28. I suggest you guys check it out if you need more Sox stuff.

Kinda similar, but I myself have always thought that, in a key spot (bases loaded, late in game, etc.) with a bottom of the order hitting, he might as well lean into one.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 9, 2017 -> 09:47 PM) This Phil Rogers piece from tonight says that the Astros have been unwilling to include to include Kyle Tucker in trade talks which is borderline insanity: http://m.mlb.com/news/article/215591558/wh...picid=151437456 It does explain why a deal hasn't been consummated if true. The Astros are idiots. No Bregman OR Tucker?? Hope they enjoy missing the playoffs or not advancing in them because of their lack of starting pitching.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Feb 9, 2017 -> 01:28 PM) I didn't even post the rumor because I don't even follow the guy on twitter. I only see things from him when WhiteSoxDave or Owen or someone retweets it. I never said he was credible, I just said he has gotten a couple things right recently so he is worth monitoring. Well, if you throw enough at the wall...

QUOTE (shipps @ Feb 9, 2017 -> 01:23 PM) How about the timing on this one from Sears? Its like he was intentionally trying to show chili he was making s*** up. If there was any question before he cleared that up pretty damn quickly. Anything or anyone associated with sportsmockery isnt credible at all. ^

The pace of play problem needs to be addressed with AL East teams. Playing them is unbearable.

Once Q/Robertson/one of Melky or Frazier are gone, we'll finish 64-98.

Jose Quintana will be traded on Wednesday, February 15th, at exactly 5:14 PM CT.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Feb 1, 2017 -> 03:56 PM) Mazara, despite the fact that I think he is rather overrated, is one of those guys who the Rangers aren't going to be willing to trade because he is a key piece of the current 25-man roster. It doesn't make sense to subtract part of what you gain in Quintana. That being said, we don't match up with Texas. Profar, Gallo, Mendez aren't very attractive headliners.

I'm not interested in an injury-prone, relatively short tenured Profar or the strikeout king Gallo. Give me Mazara, Mendez, Taveras and Guzman for Quintana.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 1, 2017 -> 03:43 PM) Grant even speculates that they are leveraging Houston. Sox don't usually do this though until they are far along in the process. Good point. Perhaps we have framework with Houston and are trying to get one more piece.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Feb 1, 2017 -> 03:40 PM) This return would be way too light IMO. I'm with you on that.

Here's the article that shot this down: http://sportsday.dallasnews.com/texas-rang...h-jose-quintana

Robertson and Frazier to TOR for Reid-Foley, Alford, and Harold Ramirez

QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 31, 2017 -> 03:01 PM) Man, I know its all we got right now but how are you guys still interested with offering up hypothetical's for Q? Havent we already ran through about all the possibilities like 1000 times through, if not more, for each possibility multiple times? This. I've been done with all the Q rumors since mid-December. I feel like every possible trade has been proposed.

Anyone who treats Sports Mockery as a legit source should know that they've cited several posters in here, including myself, as a source. They basically just type whatever they want and say they have sources and some people actually believe it.

In 93 games as a PH/spot IF starter for the Texas Rangers- .265 BA/.287 OBP/13 HR/37 RBI

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jan 19, 2017 -> 04:55 PM) .304/.375/.530 24 HR's, 78 RBI's, 13 SB's, 4.8 WAR *in AAA

FWIW, he deleted the tweet and apologized.

.277/.307/.401 in 95 games.

.254/12/58 in 130 games. 6 stolen bases on 17 attempts (not far off from his career SB%).

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 13, 2017 -> 01:08 PM) Updated for accuracy. Sizemore really did PEDs? Didn't know that

.313/30/86 (RBIs down cause rest of lineup is trash and won't be on base as much)

QUOTE (Tony @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 07:36 PM) Saw it for a 2nd time, actually liked it even more. You come in with a pre built attachment to the characters, and now that you know their fate, it makes it more emotional, at least for me. Also, RIP Leia. I also enjoyed it more the second time

QUOTE (midway @ Jan 11, 2017 -> 05:20 PM) So what's this tweet about from Peter Gammons: Absolutely sickened by the Whitesox mini camp.....what the hell is he talking about? I tweeted back asking what was wrong and the crotched old fart hasn't answered back yet. You fell for a fake account is what happened.
