Didn't know that Brett Lawrie was the Canadian cover athlete for MLB 14 The Show. Weird that they picked him over Bautista/Encarnacion and company.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:22 AM) Looking at his 14 numbers, he had 12 homers in 70 games. If he had stayed healthy, who knows how many he could have hit. His average was also .025 higher (.247/.272) on the road. Oakland's ballpark clearly had an effect on him.

Is us getting Reddick just speculation or has it been tweeted by a legit source? I know we'd likely be giving up one of Avi/Trayce, but still, Melky/Eaton/Reddit/One of Avi or Trayce/Shuck still seems like one too many.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:11 AM) How many were hit in Oakland? I'm on my way to work so I can't look it up. I will look it up later because I'm curious.I think he can hit 20 with us realistically. .247/6/26 in Oakland, .272/10/34 elsewhere.

Garcia and Lawrie put up very similar power numbers last year. .257/13/59 for Garcia, .260/16/60 for Lawrie

His defense at 3B is an improvement over Gillaspie/Olt, and his offense, despite the strikeouts, is an upgrade. Depending on the return, I'm not too upset about this.

I thought Lawrie used to be an elite prospect. Didn't know he wasn't even top-50.

Chris Rongey ‏@ChrisRongey 29m29 minutes ago It is exactly one year ago, to the day, the White Sox won the offseason with the Shark and Robertson deals.

Remember the article proposing Castro/Schwarber for Sale? Nice to know that Castro's worth is Adam Warren

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 07:57 PM) Even Bruce Levine doesn't think they had much salary too add this offseason. I just dont see it. These seem to be their major moves of the offseason. I'm absolutely estactic for that because I'm not sure they'll be much better. Glad I was right in saying Castro had no value. But... but... Castro and Schwarber for Sale!

I'm just at a loss for words with this return. Shelby Miller is apparently worth the 2015 #1 overall draft pick, the #40 prospect in baseball, and a speedy, .300+ hitter who is elite defensively (3.3 fWAR/5.3 bWAR). Chris Sale must be worth Bryant, Schwarber, Russell, Baez, Soler, Alcantara, Vogelbach, Torres, and more!

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 07:46 PM) Weird overpay from the team who traded Eaton and Skaggs for Mark Trumbo (a DH in the field and can't put up an OPS as high as Eaton). I'm somehow not surprised. To be fair, they really had to trade one of Eaton or Pollock, and Eaton's value wasn't too high at the time due to injuries and a slight decline.

Wouldn't Saad's agent have a say with that...?

Yikes... that's an incredibly overpay then. Not happy about this one for Arizona.

Trading Ender opens up PT for Yasmany Tomas, though.

Swanson and Inciarte is an overpay for Miller IMO.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 07:16 PM) Baez? Alcantara? Coghlan? Am I missing something? Trading Baez, Coghlan is an OF, but La Stella... I'm confused as well.
