Jose Abreu

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Dec 15, 2014 -> 02:11 PM) It would seem a projection system like this will only project for improvements for a player if they have multiple years of success or continual improvement. So why would Quintana not be projected for improvement?

So we're introducing Robertson and Samardzija before Duke and LaRoche?

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 2m2 minutes ago White Sox to intro Jeff Samardzjia and David Robertson at 2:30 pm press conference Tues at U.S. Cellular Field.

Yeah, those projections are grossly pessimistic.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 09:26 PM) So we're at $115 million right now, give it take? As of now, I believe so, but that number will drop after the mysterious "corresponding roster move".

And is Surkamp giving up #53 to Melky? lol

QUOTE (kev211 @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 06:08 PM) When is the press conferences for all these guys? I was wondering the same thing, it's weird how even LaRoche and Duke haven't been formally introduced.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 03:47 PM) To each their own, but I just hope you are consistent and never support or celebrate the 2005 team, there were some cheaters on that roster too. Exactly. If having just one (or more) former PED user(s) on a team will prevent you from rooting for that team, then here's a list of Sox teams you could have rooted for since 05: None.

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 03:35 PM) But that has to be Viciedo. Any additional moves would be for depth or the bench IMO. My original question was "Where does this money come from", and bucket replied "Corresponding roster move." That's why I think it might be John Danks.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 03:33 PM) That was bucket. My bad, but Rock also said he had been getting texts on the trade front.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 02:55 PM) Chuck Garfien ‏@ChuckGarfien 10m10 minutes ago Hawk Harrelson with some bold predictions. And says #WhiteSox aren't done making moves. http://bit.ly/1yR3lVi ” Hawk hinting at a couple more moves? Interesting lol. I'm thinking Castro. There's also that corresponding roster move that Bucket hinted at last night.

Melky makes this lineup so much better.

Adam Eaton ‏@AdamSpankyEaton 3m3 minutes ago I'm pretty upset that I wasn't one of the sources listed for breaking the news.. #DayLateAndADollarShort #HangWithEm

Loving the moves, now I'd like us to trade Tank, get a better backup IF than Leury (whether internally or via Viciedo trade), and, if possible, get another RH reliever, because I don't really trust Putnam, Petricka, Guerra, and Webb as our RH relievers (non-closers).

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 12:04 AM) Alexei was an all star too. Wow, how could I forget about him? Thanks

This year, we have Sale, Abreu, Samardzija, Alexei, Robertson, Melky, Quintana, even Eaton or LaRoche as possible all-stars. Crazy.

Micah Johnson ‏@Micah_Johnson3 51s52 seconds ago @TheMelkman53 too?!! Chicago's gonna be JUMPING like the Jordan days!!

Now watch us go sign Ichiro as our 4th OF, trade for Tyler Clippard... it sounds completely unrealistic, but so did signing Melky to a 3/45 deal after this week's moves.

Don't forget Hahn!

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Dec 13, 2014 -> 11:42 PM) I'm not excited at all about this, but I gotta buck up and accept it. QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 13, 2014 -> 11:43 PM) I agree If it's because of PEDs, how do you feel about Quintana?

Someone needs to make a Rick Hahn-Santa Claus photoshop.

Where does this money come from?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 13, 2014 -> 05:47 PM) Bryce Harper. That would be interesting. http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/12024212...-show-fan-event Please no. A cancer in the clubhouse, and not even a good player (yet).

QUOTE (Butter Parque @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 12:27 PM) Not a Webb fan. Wouldn't have a problem with it. I just hope its not Crawford. Yeah, I don't get why we'd want Crawford as our LF anyway. That would make more sense last year, before Adam Eaton.

The M's have a great bullpen. I'm expected to see who we receive, and also who we acquire to be our LF.
