Jose Abreu

Rose just needs his breakout game. I'm calling 26 pts on Friday

And of course, the Peavy signing translated to the Abreu signing.

I think that from this point forward that we'll have a similar offseason to last year where we signed Keppinger (this year Salty/AJP/Ruiz) and Lindstrom (this year O'Flaherty/Logan).

Has Granderson accepted the QO yet? Everyone's been saying that it's over for us, but I haven't heard an official word yet.

I thought Sale had the 2nd best WHIP

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Nov 5, 2013 -> 09:47 PM) Iwakuma as the 3rd finalist instead of Felix or Anibal Sanchez? WHAT? But regardless, I'd give Scherzer the CY, and it has nothing to do with wins. Felix with be my #2. I completely forgot about Sanchez. Man, was he ever overshadowed by Scherzer!

I think the top 5 will be 5. Felix 4. Sale 3. Iwakuma 2. Darvish 1. Scherzer

If there are three finalists, how do people finish in 4th, 5th, etc.? I hope Sale gets 4th over Felix.

Darvish, Iwakuma, Scherzer. If Sale didn't have that one September start vs Cleveland... Who wins? I think Scherzer will due to wins (which don't matter).

MLBTR says Rangers, Boston, and Yankees are early McCann frontrunners. If he were to sign with Texas, would anyone be opposed to a one year deal for Pierzynski? It would give Phlowers a chance to develop.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Nov 3, 2013 -> 11:50 PM) Granderson is from here guys. I don't think him being in town means anything. Similar comments were made when Dwyane Wade was a free agent. He was in Chicago the week before he, Dinosaur, and LeFlop all signed with the Cheat. Wade is also from Chicago.

He could be a two year signing that we flip at the trade deadline. We did the same to a certain 2013 World Series winning starter this year.

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?

Colleen Kane @ChiTribKane "Paul Konerko on how Abreu signing affects his future: "I guess I really don’t know what the story is behind that." Meeting w/Sox not set yet"

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.
