Jose Abreu

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?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 01:14 PM) A cameraman regurgitating a false tweet and an emoji of eyes? raBBit posted some stuff on Soxtalk yesterday too. The eyes and his posts yesterday are open to different perceptions, but I believe they are encouraging.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 01:12 PM) Interestingly enough -- the Rockies just DFA'd Kyle Parker, which could be signalling a move on their part. Perhaps we could be trading for a Rockies OF instead. Or the Cardinals are

Bulls/GSW tonight. Should be fun

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 12:57 PM) I don't know why I'm so enthralled. Rosenthal and Heyman have nothing. You would think if anything was close they would have something. EyeEmojiGate

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 12:55 PM) 53 members reading. LOL. Frazier-esque

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 12:51 PM) If Rick Hahn had balls of steel, he'd have the team move SoxFest to US Cellular Field. Then Cespedes arrives via helicopter and the speakers blasting DJ Khaled's All I Do Is Win. They then announce he has signed forever. Helicpoter? If he REALLY had balls of steel, it would be a jet pack.

I'm still very enthused by the tweets from the CSN cameraman (maybe) and raBBit.

jesus, all 3 teams have some huge rumor going for them

I interpret raBBit's tweets and Soxtalk posts from yesteday as positive.
