Jose Abreu

Only one season in his career with an FIP under 4. No thanks.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 08:48 PM) Speaking of Eaton, he's currently in a twitter argument with a Cubs fan. It's pretty hilarious actually, I suggest that those of you who haven't checked it should do so.

What he actually said was, "If Carlos joins the rotation in 2015, it would be Sale, Samardzija, Quintana..."

Hahn hints that Samardzija will be the #2 starter.

MLB ‏@MLB 7m7 minutes ago "This is the guy we wanted. This is the guy who fit for us." – @WhiteSox GM Rick Hahn on Samardzija. So this is the guy he said after the trade deadline that he'd been trying to get? That can't be right.

I'm surprised that this only got 13 pages- only about 8 of those reaction to the deal, especially considering that this signing is possibly the biggest we'll have this offseason. That being said, this is an overpay but I think it was necessary.

Samardzija: "Pitching for the White Sox is a dream come true for me."

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 11:53 AM) Extension talk. I think 5/85 or 6/100 is fair value. Funny how the third best starter on the team will probably make more than the first and second best combined.

So what's the deal with us trying to extend him? Will it be something that may happen during the regular season?

QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 11:25 AM) Exactly, everyone gets a B in my courses. I can't concentrate on actually grading. Good thing you're not my teacher.

If I went to bed when we were "on the verge", is this current report more accurate?

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 10:22 PM) Semien, Danish and Trey is a lot. Maybe we're getting Reddick?

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 10:18 PM) Maybe he didn't know yet? But it was 5 minutes ago...

Wait, then why would Danish tweet that?

Tim Anderson ‏@TimAnderson7 ?

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 10:15 PM) TWITTER WATCH Tim Anderson tweets two sleepy face emojis. This is golden! Watch it get deleted.

Chuck Garfien ‏@ChuckGarfien 23s24 seconds ago Hearing that while a Jeff Samardzija deal with #WhiteSox appears close, this might not get finalized/announced tonight.

MLB Tonight is slowly becoming Baseball Tonight.

Ok we get it, Jeter's cool. Back to Winter Meetings coverage please?

A Derek Jeter tribute after the break? Now, of all times?!

QUOTE (staxx @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 09:31 PM) A top 3 of Sale/Shark/Quintana can go up against basically all other 29 teams best 3. The only similar top threes I can think of are Kershaw/Greinke/Ryu and Strasburg/Zimmerman/Roark or whoever their 3 is

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 12:28 PM) I didn't realize they were pursuing Gregorson as well. I think that was in the Winter Meetings thread that got locked, as well as the David Robertson thread.
