Jose Abreu

Keith/Seabrook/Hjalmarsson/Gustafsson/Van Riemsdyk is a pretty sick top-five. We can live with Scuderi/Rozsival whomever as #6.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 10:35 PM) With all the movement this week on the OF front I wouldn't be surprised if teams had an idea where some of the big names may be signing and that's why you are starting to see teams move on to other players. I wouldn't be suprised to hear something concrete on YO this weekend or early next week. It seems like the market has played into our hands now is the time RH has to close. That is probably what's happening. I'm trying not to get my hopes up, though.

Lots of chances for us so far

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 11:52 AM) The Giants are MLB's version of the New England Patriots. All time great coach and GM duo (In NE they happen to be the same person). A couple great players (Bumgarner/Posey, Brady/Gronk) and a supporting cast stocked with good players. Annual contender. Yes, just minus all the cheating

Also, where are people getting the idea that we may get both Cespedes and Gonzalez?

QUOTE (iWin4Ron @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 05:09 PM) 2. A declining Reyes is still leagues a head of the trash put out by most teams at SS. His salary is a bit high, not sure how to work with that. Domestic violence issue is a non-factor here. We are going for it all. I strongly disagree.

The three year thing is still really frustrating (since we now know it is not posturing), as is (to me) our interest in Gonzalez.

Nobody wants Adam LaRoche. Nobody wants Jose Reyes.

Sam Smith ‏@SamSmithHoops This is how blatant the lack of calls has been on Rose; Rose even got a technical for complaining. And he gets about 1 every three years

Cody Westerlund ‏@CodyWesterlund Regarding his technical tonight, Derrick Rose says he's never gotten to the line in his career as much as he deserves to.

After watching highlights from last night, I'm even more annoyed at Rose not getting calls. He gets HACKED half of the time he goes to the rim, and it's only called 20% of the time.

NickyMitch93's alter ego thinks that Cespedes winning a gold glove makes him a great defensive outfielder.

TNT Bulls strike again

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jan 7, 2016 -> 09:30 PM) My sources say it was Gino's East. SOURCE: #WhiteSox attempting to make Cespedes try Giordano's before confirming his distaste for deep dish pizza.

There's never a set list of contenders for a given player. Everything is dynamic. There are more than 3-4 teams who can sign Cespedes.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Jan 7, 2016 -> 04:36 PM) Okay, seriously. What is your deal? The Toews line is a shell of what it was with Saad on it. And the defense runs three players deep. Yet we have the third most points in hockey

Hope they pay him enough where they wouldn't be able to afford Cespedes though. Given the OF market, Span may not get that much

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 7, 2016 -> 03:21 PM) With the roster as constructed now, if Avi is on the bench, who is starting in the OF? With the roster as constructed now, Avi Garcia is your 3rd OF.

Bob NightengaleVerified account ‏@BNightengale The #WhiteSox haven't changed stance, still won't give more than 3 years to any of the free-agent OFs

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Jan 7, 2016 -> 12:20 PM) i was once in a realgm Amare Stoudemire trade thread that went 400 pages or so and ended with no Bulls trade happening at all. And the 2014 Carmelo Anthony threads... there were 30 threads 100 pages each. And it didn't happen. 3000 pages.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 7, 2016 -> 11:58 AM) i feel like something is going to happen today part 22

Welp, a pretty rumor-less day

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jan 6, 2016 -> 08:47 PM) Where'd you see this at? That would give him a sack every 47.4 snaps. Obviously things probably wouldn't play out this way, but if he played the same number of snaps as Watt at that pace, he would have had 20 sacks. The Bears' twitter account
