QUOTE (LDF @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 02:36 PM) ahhh yet another attempt by you to make yourself look ummmm well you can fill in that for yourself. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/d/danksjo02.shtml This is the link you should be posting: http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/d/danksjo01.shtml This is who we were talking about.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 02:18 PM) i still maintain that it was all JR doing.... for this main reason. this is not a jump on JR rant. the sox really like the danks brothers and drafted jon twice. the first time Borasrse was his agent. then they, the danks got rid of the agent and then signed with the sox.... i am skipping parts. JR must have felt he owed jon a contract b/c jon trusted jr..... so jr returned the favor.... no one will say that jr never turned his back on anyone if they went to bat for jr. that loyalty is why i have always like of him and still does. loyalty in this age, this kind of loyalty is rare. What? Didn't the Sox trade for Danks from the Rangers?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 02:15 PM) Again, who said they want him for more than 3 years? The Nationals

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 02:11 PM) That whole waiting out the OF thing worked out pretty well for the Sox... Gordon back to KC, Upton to Det, etc. Can't say I'm surprised because this organization is a s*** show sometimes but still pretty disappointed. Like some poster here said, we took a road trip and stopped 3/4 of the way there.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 02:10 PM) No matter where he signs just please sign by tonight. I'd rather he sign with us this weekend than Washington tonight...

Ugh.

He hit .218 last year. No reason to be upset that we didn't sign him, unless for AAA

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 01:24 PM) Hahahahaha what? Did you even think about this? The Nats would probably take Sale for Harper alone. Dude is a FA in two years. Yeah I know, I thought he had more team control years

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 01:12 PM) Damn DGN. They block basically everything useful. I'm just happy they haven't blocked Soxtalk yet

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 01:07 PM) He still would cost Adams at a minimum, plus. Avi, on the other hand.... Sale, Anderson, Fulmer, Adams for Harper. Who says no?

QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 12:48 PM) Heyman Nats are indeed in on cespedes. Would be interesting to see where he fits, and who may go. @Ken_Rosenthal 1st Heyman Nats never made offer to wei-yin Chen after showing interest. Perhaps they were saving for cespedes. Could see as value play Thank you.

I've been gone for 4 hours and apparently missed a lot

Sabermetrics aside: 2B: Lawrie SS: Saladino > Ramirez 3B: Frazier However, overall, I do think the IF defense will be improved. Frazier and Saladino are above average, and Lawrie may be decent with a full season at 2B.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 08:08 AM) Aren't we 2 games ahead of the Royals for fangraphs projections? Cespedes would put us ahead of Detroit. You of all people should know how bad those Fangraphs predictions are for the Royals. I wouldn't put any stock in them there.

It was originally set for the week of my high school graduation. I was hyped

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 09:49 PM) The fact that this thread is titled anything "per Rabbit" tells me Soxtalk has officially lost it. I wonder if lurkers/guests who don't really know posters see "per Rabbit", have no idea who "Rabbit" is, and think we're full of it/getting rumors from a rabbit

Batting Stance Guy ‏@BattingStanceG 2h2 hours ago Yoenis Cespedes will be best player in history to play for all 30 teams.

Rose is on fire

QUOTE (Yoenis Cespedes @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 04:54 PM) I'd like to talk with Jose Abreu. Heard he is here. *eye emojis*

*refreshes page constantly*

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 04:17 PM) Well I got something. !!!

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 04:15 PM) Will this thread beat the Peavy thread? It did

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 03:26 PM) I like that someone just created an account and their username is 'Yoenis Cespedes'. That name is going to be funny if he signs somewhere other than with the Sox. Whoever that is should agree with everything I post.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 01:18 PM) Rabbit just bumped this tweet: Brian Bilek ‏@ChiSoxraBBit Brian Bilek Retweeted NoRoleModels I think the #WhiteSox are a top contender for Cespedes and will be in it until the day he signs. J. Cole? What?
