Jose Abreu

Regardless of how many times he'll beat us, we'll still have had the most important victory against him.

QUOTE (dayan024 @ Nov 3, 2013 -> 08:27 PM) Curtis Granderson in Chicago at blackhawks game 2nite shooting puck at 2nd intermission with free agency only 2 days away.. Granderson mite be a whitesox come tuesday or it mite just be wishful thinking on my part I saw that too. I'm hoping it's a sign because he's so much better than Alejandro, but I don't know. To those downgrading him, imagine our 2012 lineup with Abreu and Grandy in it. A gigantic improvement.

I'd be open to the idea if a backup plan was in order.

Stroman and Sanchez for Sale and Beckham would undoubtedly be the most idiotic trade in the history of sports

I watched it before they left. It was fun to see Cowherd bash the Sox/Bulls/Bears/Blackhawks every day.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 29, 2013 -> 04:50 PM) Huh? If we were to sign another big name then SportsNation will start referring to us as the Heat of the MLB. (Signing LBJ, Bosh)

Hello, could I please have my name changed to "Jose Abreu"?

If we signed someone else like Grandy or McCann we'd be "becoming the Miami Heat of MLB [ESPN'S SportsNation]" This was NOT said about us, but the Yankees, rather. It's just what they say when an MLB team makes a couple mega-signings.

Does he seem like a good clubhouse guy? Or does he have a Puig attitude?

Blum was actually the first one I put- you can't disrespect Blummer on the 8 year and 1 day anniversary of his home run!!

The only way I give Sale to the Cubs is for Baez, Soler, Bryant, Rizzo, AND cash considerations. I.E. I will not give Sale to the Cubs because that deal is not possible.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Oct 24, 2013 -> 08:20 PM) You should consider a Winston-Salem Dash jersey before making an impulse purchase. They rolled out some new livery not too long ago as well. I'll check it out. Edit (3 mins later): Thanks. They looked good as well, but I'm sticking with the Knights. And maybe a 2013 Barons Champions shirt.

I might actually be tempted to purchase a minor league baseball jersey for the first time ever.

When will this be confirmed by the Sox?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 23, 2013 -> 04:27 PM) You're 100% wrong. My bad, he Beckhamed. He had a great first half and a s***ty second half.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 23, 2013 -> 04:10 PM) I don't think that means he's a goner. It really depends on whether or not they make him a qualifying offer, as I genuinely don't envision a lot of teams having interest in him if they have to give up a 1st rounder. They could easily run with an outfield of Granderson-Gardner-Choo with Soriano DHing and Wells off the bench as the 4th outfielder. That said, there are a lot of teams interested in Choo. They won't necessarily get him in today's environment. But wouldn't they want Wells to start? I may be wrong, but didn't he perform well last year?

Looks like Granderson's a goner in NY as they have a vast interest in Shin-Soo Choo .

I'd rather trade Santiago... Quintana seems like he'll have more success in the long run.

I really hope we trade a Keppaspie/Gillaspinger player to make room for Semien. Even Beckham can be traded, just let Marcus start.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Oct 22, 2013 -> 05:01 PM) Zack Greinke played Shortstop in high school, do you think he's an option there 10 years later in the big leagues? No, but Butler player third base in college, and with our defense, he could definitely be an option there. Same goes for LF if we trade De Aza, move Avi to center and Dayan to right.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Oct 22, 2013 -> 04:59 PM) lol wat He wasn't too bad at LF if I remember correctly. They just needed Gordon to go there. And he's played 3rd in college/high school.
