  1. As long as Abreu doesn't bat second anymore, I'm good
  2. *waits for someone to call one of these pitchers a "low risk, high reward" guy*
  3. QUOTE (Baron @ Jan 6, 2016 -> 10:57 AM) Wasnt this the guy who said Cespedes signed a week ago? Yes.
  4. QUOTE (ptatc @ Jan 6, 2016 -> 10:25 AM) Why? It isn't a win now year. If anything, the sox get Danks and LaRoche off the books next year so they will have more salary room. This could be the building year for following year. It could be a win now year but it doesn't need to be if the price becomes outrageous. I don't think we would have made the Frazier deal if we didn't plan on competing this year. Plus, the FO really doesn't want to continue wasting prime years of Sale/Quintana/Abreu.
  5. Write Sox ‏@WriteSox 56m56 minutes ago Don’t know why everyone’s worried. Twitter said a few weeks ago Cespedes had already signed that 6-year $126 million deal with the Sox. shoutout NickyMitch93
  6. Nevermind, I see it's coming out in a few months.
  7. QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 5, 2016 -> 04:34 PM) So twitter really is allowing longer tweets. They are? I don't see it
  8. QUOTE (blackmooncreeping @ Jan 6, 2016 -> 10:09 AM) Smart move to not go over 3 years on Gordon due to his relatively advanced age. Cespedes and Upton are obviously different stories and so you offer more years. I agree with you, but the original report was that we were only offering 3 years to both Gordon and Cespedes.
  9. QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jan 6, 2016 -> 09:50 AM) @Ken_Rosenthal Sources: #WhiteSox would not go 4 years on Gordon, as @BNightengale said. Will they adjust on Cespedes? Gordon 32 this season, Cespedes 30. So we weren't posturing. If we offer Cespedes 3 years then he won't accept. The FO has to know that.
  10. Seeing lots of "now that Gordon signed, we're gonna hear White Sox/Cespedes rumors today" type posts... while I hope that's true, we can never be sure.
  11. I love Young as a player but he's probably gone.
  12. QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jan 5, 2016 -> 09:43 PM) Rose played well tonight, but his jump shot is a disaster. Short on everything, he does use his legs, but he's got a hitch at the top of his shot which results in no arc in his shot. His shots are disgustingly flat. His drives tonight were incredible, though.
  13. I don't trust this KC guy. He bet his reputation that Gordon would be a Royal by Christmas... so I guess he doesn't have a reputation.
  14. QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 5, 2016 -> 09:12 PM) It helps the Hawks are amazing at it. Yup, if we didn't have Toews/Kane/Panarin/Teravainen and other skill players who exceed in open-ice situations, we wouldn't like it as much
  15. QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Jan 5, 2016 -> 08:12 PM) K.C. Johnson ‏@KCJHoop 9m9 minutes ago Butler has 60 points in his last 4 quarters. on 22/30 shooting!
  16. QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 5, 2016 -> 05:46 PM) Looks like my fake source was wrong, but as you know, things are very fluid and change so the fake info may have been correct at the time. Thanks, NickyMitch93. What have you heard on Doug Fister?
  17. QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 5, 2016 -> 01:29 PM) I hope his return doesn't affect Butler's play. I worry Rose is going to take 20-25 shots tonight to try to reestablish himself as the go-to guy. If he plays like he was the three games before the injury, he can take as many shots as he wants
  18. We've literally heard no news on any of the outfielders lately. I don't know how much longer this board (and I) can handle it!
  19. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 5, 2016 -> 12:31 PM) Erik Johnson put up a 5.93 FIP last year in his major league time, and Scott Carroll put up one of 3.68 in an almost identical number of major league innings pitched last year. I am not saying Carroll is the answer, but the question isn't as absurd as it might seem. Johnson did have a 3.34 ERA, though. When evaluating such a small sample size, the eye test becomes more useful. Johnson looked more effective than Carroll.
  20. QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 5, 2016 -> 12:01 PM) Mark Lazerus ‏@MarkLazerus 26m26 minutes ago No exact timetable for Richard Panik, who is waiting on his visa. Remember, it took Marcus Kruger a while in September. #Blackhawks Q said Panik will be given an opportunity "in a pretty good spot," so I'm assuming he gets a crack at starting off with Toews and Hossa. Jeez...
  21. QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Jan 5, 2016 -> 12:15 PM) Scott Carroll did well last year. Maybe I was the only one watching (I don't blame anyone who tuned out) but he had a lot of good outings as the long man. I'm not convinced Erik Johnson sucks or anything, but Carroll has at least shown he can compete at the ML level whereas EJ has not. You weren't the only one watching. Scott Carroll isn't better than Erik Johnson.
  22. ARE WE SERIOUSLY STILL QUOTING NICKYMITCH??! If the whole Cespedes debacle didn't prove that he's just a kid creating rumors, I don't know what else will...
