QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 19, 2016 -> 05:32 PM) Does anyone really see Don Cooper on facebook messenger? Yes.

QUOTE (whtsoxfan @ Jan 19, 2016 -> 05:27 PM) Looks like CarGo could be traded http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/6479266/v539432583 Carlos Gonzalez told by GM that he won't be traded

New York Mets ‏@Mets 11m11 minutes ago We continue to have conversations with Cespedes' agent. That's all I can say at this time. - @MetsGM #MetsHotStove

He also hit .233 last year. I don't know if I'd want another low-average hitter from the NL, especially the Nationals (Dunn/LaRoche)

Vincent Goodwill ‏@vgoodwill 21m21 minutes ago Fred Hoiberg said Joakim Noah underwent successful shoulder surgery this morning. And Mike Dunleavy has done non-contact drills for 2 days

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Jan 19, 2016 -> 02:39 PM) Can Dunleavy play winger? Too slow/skinny. I don't think he can take a hit.

Why does everyone want Desmond all of a sudden? Aren't you the same people who don't want Fowler due to his bad defense? Desmond's is pretty bad as well.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 19, 2016 -> 02:15 PM) Am I absolutely lost at this point. There is some weird stuff going on in the White Sox media right now. I will say that. Not sure if this should make us excited or not...

I don't even know if we'll be able to sign Panarin long-term.

So basically, all we have on the Sox is that Rodriguez guy's tweet.

Mibelt Rodriguez ‏@MibeltRodriguez 1m1 minute ago The #Mets and #WhiteSox are the frontrunner to sign Yoenis Cespedes. He's looking for a minimum 4 years contract (1/2). Mibelt Rodriguez ‏@MibeltRodriguez now @MibeltRodriguez The #Mets haven't make an offer to Cespedes, and they won't go beyond 3 years. The #WhiteSox may go 4 years (2/2) #MLB

Also, there's currently a match-fixing scandal being discussed.

Kevin Love was probably the real loser of that trade.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jan 19, 2016 -> 08:40 AM) There are a couple guys that will be left off the Top 30 that I didn't expect to be. I'll predict the Top 15 as such: 1. Tim Anderson SS 2. Carson Fulmer RHP 3. Spencer Adams RHP 4. Trey Michalczewski 3B 5. Tyler Danish RHP 6. Jordan Guerrero LHP 7. Micker Adolfo OF 8. Jacob May CF 9. Adam Engel CF 10. Courtney Hawkins OF 11. Corey Zangari 1B 12. Chris Beck RHP 13. Amado Nunez SS 14. Brandon Brennan RHP 15. Brian Clark LHP That leaves off guys like: Jhoandro Alfaro, Johan Cruz, Robinson Leyer, Michael Ynoa, Andre Wheeler, Blake Hickman, and Keon Barnum. I think that's a pretty solid prediction. I still don't understand what everyone sees in Michalczewski, though. I'm not saying he doesn't deserve to be on the list, but I think he is overrated by most on this board.

I can definitely see Lopez and Johnson going to Cleveland. I just don't know if Cleveland has enough ammo for them, mainly Lopez.

The 2016 AL Central is an enigma. There is really a chance for any combination of the five teams in the standings. All 5 teams have rosters that can make the playoffs.

QUOTE (oneofthemikes @ Jan 19, 2016 -> 08:24 AM) Personally, I think committing to a rebuild is the right thing to do. If you look around the league at the teams that have done that lately, they have themselves in a position to stay competitive for years to come. I'm not in complete disagreement with you, but I think it's a little too late for that after the Frazier/Lawrie trades, which gave us the impression that we are going for it. We started the process and it's not finished. We can either finish it by signing Cespedes, not finish it and have a mediocre 78-84 win season, or go all out and trade Sale/Quintana/Abreu/everyone fast. I don't know if the latter is possible.

Twitter being down probably doesn't help us with finding *fake* Cespedes rumors.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jan 18, 2016 -> 10:59 PM) I didn't think this board could be worse than twitter. I was wrong. Yoenis cesPAYdes #NBAVote

Pats 21-13 Panthers 27-12

Give me Cespedes, or give me death. Or, I don't know. Something will work out.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Jan 18, 2016 -> 09:59 PM) You have to admire Mike Ilitch. Money doesn't matter, what he has to do doesn't matter. All that matters is winning the World Series. And pizza. (He owns Little Caesar's)

To be fair, I am under the impression that RV is on a very short leash, and may be fired before the ASB if we are struggling.

Pretty cool how the Bulls are responsible for 17% of San Antonio's losses.

You guys are overanalyizng a post which the OP admitted was sarcastic
