Jose Abreu

I hope not. Rosenthal is on vacation, too.

It's the end of an era. The era of the 2015 catch-all thread.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 04:29 PM) Oh well Ellis was stepping out of bounds when he hit the game tying three so idgaf Exactly

He performed exactly as I expected. He receives a lot of undeserved hate for his 2015 performance.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 02:45 PM) You don't have to be lonely at farmersonly.com. Very true.

More posts here than in the Frazier thread... and that actually happened. Thanks a lot, Patrick Howard (and other fake Twitter insiders).

QUOTE (blackmooncreeping @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 02:05 PM) Agreed. Rollins posted a .224 average, 13 hrs, 41 rbis, and committed 9 errors in 13334 games last year. Not sure if Saladino can hit 13 hrs, but his base running advantages more than make up for it. Not to mention the $$ difference. And the defense. Though, to be fair, just 9 errors in 13334 games is spectacular.

Shockingly, the East has been much better than the West.

Adam Gase is reportedly expected to leave the Bears to become a head coach, as he figures to have several offers

QUOTE (peavy44 @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 01:36 PM) Twitter This is odd... I feel like the reports are going back and forth on who we're closer with. I hope we get Cespedes and Gordon is being used for leverage.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 01:18 PM) After Melky, don't think they'd dip into that pool of former ped's players again so quickly when there are lots of more palatable options. Melky has nothing to do with our potential signing of a player with a PED past. Plus, it's not like he was that bad where his performance would make us not want to sign another player with a questionable past. .273/12/77 is right on line with his career averages, PED year aside.

QUOTE (blackmooncreeping @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 12:13 PM) why... It's irrational, but because of the recent trend of low-average power hitters coming here and underperforming.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 11:13 AM) One player he had was Soto. He pinch hit a grand total of 4 times. He DHd 3 games. Why would you want to pinch hit or DH a .219 hitter more than that?

Looking back on this trade, I still think we got the best return, but I am growing concerned that Frazier may put up 2013-like numbers for us.

At this point, I think Gordon and the Sox were just using each other as leverage. Gordon using us for a higher KC offer, we using him for Cespedes to want to accept our offer.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 10:56 AM) There is life outside baseball offseason rumors just to let everyone know. There is???

QUOTE (La Marr Hoyt HOF @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 10:01 PM) Cespedes's last month of the season and playoff performance last year -- truly scary He's extremely streaky.

Hahn and raBBit were both at the game!! Maybe raBBit was asking him for inside information!!!!!!!!!

Sloppy game, great ending

I miss 2014 Butler, the one that drove often and got to the line. Now he just settles for long two pointers and shoots at an inefficient clip.

Patrick Howard's baseball reporting as good as mine or yours. He's just a fan looking for attention.

Bulls look asleep

Nevermind, it's WGN

Ugh, more waiting...
