Jose Abreu

I see, in many of these links, "he will continue doing ESPN games". Which ESPN games does he broadcast? I had never heard of him prior to today.

Gonzalez staying in Colorado was a big reason that Parra signed there. It will likely be Blackmon, or perhaps Dickerson, who is traded.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jan 13, 2016 -> 10:47 AM) You'd think Hawk would rather do home games and cut out the travel. Wonder what 3 home games Hawk will be doing. Cubs? Or maybe the series where Stone takes off for Yom Kippur? The 3 home games he's doing are the Cubs games. He actually has a harder travel schedule for home games rather than away games. Pretty sure he has to commute to and from Indiana for every game. I remember someone on here saying it's 2-3 hours each way.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 10:09 PM) Love me some TT, and meshed pretty well with Kane and Panarin tonight. Nothing will ever compare to Panarin/Anisimov/Kane though... chemistry there is unreal

QUOTE (2005thxfrthmmrs @ Jan 13, 2016 -> 08:41 AM) Yep, was probably banned because his obsession with Andy Wilkins was getting a little unhealthy. Then I think he's back with a different username, because there's a guy on the FutureSox Board with ~25 posts, all about Andy Wilkins

I wish they banned that god-awful DE-DE-DE-DEFENSE chant.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 03:54 PM) The Winter Classic in Boston was played at the football stadium. So they counted the larger attendance but didn't adjust the capacity, same with Boston's home attendance. I feel like there must have been a better way to do that- a way that didn't skew the rest of the stats.

From 0 teams to 2...

QUOTE (spiderman @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 11:11 AM) The records of teams in these predictions, even teams they are predicting to win the division, are always awful. Does anyone really think all 5 teams will be separated by 7 games in the standings? This.

Fan of the new thread name.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 02:23 PM) Sieve, as in your goalie is one. Ohhhhhhhh...

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 02:08 PM) “Sieve”" This was actually used as a sports chant in a high school game? Yeah, I don't get that one.

I think he ends up with the Mets, now that they're interested.

Please no Fowler...

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 01:15 PM) Toronto and St. Louis are the only ones I can think of. I still think we end up with Cespedes or Upton though. Or Texas. And we already know that NYM/BAL are in.

QUOTE (peavy44 @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 01:13 PM) They only in on Justin Upton. That's what recent reports are saying, but we can't be sure

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 10:19 AM) He is truly a gem. I still remember when he posted on this board years ago as a prospect. (As well as Baj and others) Just a great guy. That's pretty cool. How were you guys sure it was him?

QUOTE (peavy44 @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 12:32 PM) how would it? It takes away a potential suitor (Baltimore)

QUOTE (southside hitman @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 12:28 PM) Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi 3m3 minutes ago Source: #Orioles, #Rockies engaged in "ongoing trade talks" on Colorado outfielders. Rockies have surplus following Parra deal. @FOXSports DO IT! Yes! This would be huge for us and Cespedes.

QUOTE (Sockin @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 11:45 AM) FWIW Merkin just said on his podcast that he's predicting Garcia is the opening day RF. Good, that means Garcia won't be the opening day RF.

Mets in on Cespedes per NYDN

Roads are really bad here.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jan 11, 2016 -> 09:56 PM) Abreu and Frazier alone can account for 60. We're not going to lead the league in homers or anything, but I think we have enough power to compete as is. We're probably better off getting a guy who is good at getting on base with decent power as opposed to someone who can hit 30 bombs, but might only get on at a .300 clip. Abreu and Frazier get you 60, but the rest of the team gets you what... another 60? I mean, Eaton is literally our 3rd best home run hitter.

The UnexpectaBULLS. At this point, maybe the ExpectaBULLS.

I love how people go back and hate the package we gave for Samardzija. It was worth the risk. At the time, not a bad trade, and honestly, all of the players we gave up are/were easily replaceable.
