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.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 22, 2013 -> 04:45 PM) What? He played 43 innings in LF in 2007. That's it. Zero innings at 3rd. 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.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Oct 22, 2013 -> 04:22 PM) In what world are the Sox looking for another 1B/DH? He also plays 3B/LF.

Royals listening to offers for Billy Butler per MLBTR.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Oct 21, 2013 -> 10:22 PM) Thank god. Only four baseball-less months... Technically. At least we have the Bulls/Bears/Hawks, however, there's just this special feeling you get when you watch the White Sox that you don't get when you watch one of the previously listed teams.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Oct 21, 2013 -> 09:00 PM) Baseball starts again in March next year? Thank god. I'm such a white sox crack head. Yeah, it does, a Sunday @ home vs Twins. Sale vs their electric ace Kevin Correia. Monday, not Sunday. My bad.

Having Cano and Abreu would increase our attendance by so much- a potential ROY/MVP/CY trio.

I'm saying 60/40 that Alejandro starts at CF on 3/31

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 21, 2013 -> 04:57 PM) With all due respect, he is an idiot if he believes that. Why?

Also, and this is 100% real, Jon Heyman lists us as one of ten teams potentially interested in Cano: http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/writer/jon-he...s-that-may-call

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Oct 21, 2013 -> 04:51 PM) Perhaps you should have included that when you initially posted the tweet. I did in my next reply. I'm still learning how to use this board

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Oct 21, 2013 -> 04:45 PM) Figure out how Twitter or Google work before posting this trash. I know it's not legit. I was just amused by it.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFan05 @ Oct 21, 2013 -> 04:42 PM) Vincent Rizzo Sports @vincentrizzosports MLB #NYYankee outfielder Curtis Granderson is VERY CLOSE to sign 5-YEAR DEAL W/ Chicago White Sox, deal worth 16 million per yr. No other sources have leaked this. Probably just some guy sitting in his basement.

Let's be realistic here. After signing Abreu, we're not going to also sign Granderson, Ellsbury, McCann, AND Lincecum.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Oct 19, 2013 -> 01:49 AM) Do you realize what he hit this year? .261/.310/.396. We don't want a .310 OBP batting first or second, and we don't want a .396 SLG batting third, fourth, or fifth. He's a career ..280 hitter and he hits very well with RISP. Not to mention his defense is solid.

We can't just screw our team by trading young talent away to make room for a 37 year old who demands to play another year. Sorry Paulie, but goodbye.
