QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 18, 2015 -> 11:14 AM) How much would he have earned in Arb? Looks like more sentimentality

QUOTE (shysocks @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 11:56 AM) If Melky gets his s*** together that is swoon-worthy. Laroche too

With Frazier traded for and seemingly all in, what do you guys say? edit: N00bed it up,tried making a poll, can an admin make this a poll?

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 11:26 AM) Not sure how high they sold on Micah and Montas but I guess Montas was able to say healthy all year and that is probably selling highish on him, even if his performances weren't mind blowing. Micah, well, it's selling low but before he has zero value I guess. Montas didn't look too bad in September plus is still being groomed as a starter even though hes highly likely to end up as a reliever. Micah couldn't even stay healthy,plus his brick hands.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 11:25 AM) Better than giving up Anderson, but still seems like a lot to give up for 2 years of Frazier. As of now, Avi is back to being a starting OF. I think he's optioned or they're trying hard to get rid of him.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 11:24 AM) To me, it's a great job of selling those 3 guys while they have good value. +1

Thank god the Sox didn't drink the Trayce Kool-aid. selling high for once,like it.

Ethier has to be part of it if they parted with Trayce

NLCS of Cubs-Diamondbacks if Arrieta's arm doesn't fall off.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Dec 11, 2015 -> 12:03 PM) Cheers! Happy holidays to all Soxtalk members! We have a great community here. +1

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 11, 2015 -> 11:55 AM) Nothing to indicate that on Ken's twitter. Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 5m5 minutes ago #STLCards out on Heyward, sources tell me and @jonmorosi. @dgoold had indicated they no longer were in play. Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS 6m6 minutes ago Cubs definitely still in mix for heyward, with decision coming soon. Nats, and according to @dgoold cardinals, discouraged this is just what i'm going off, seems like they're pointing towards the cubs.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 11, 2015 -> 11:49 AM) See twitter has fallen victim to the fake Ken Rosenthal account again Morosi and real Rosenthal are hinting that's the case anyway

This thread went on tangent lol but my favorite Birria place is Birria Ocotlan on 18th st and the best carnitas I've had is at Don Pedro's a couple block down from there. I recommend those places if anyone is interested.

Nuevo Leon on 26th is nice and has good food imo.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Nov 20, 2015 -> 12:45 PM) Mariners DFA former #2 overall pick Danny Hultzen. His shoulder is toast

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Nov 20, 2015 -> 09:54 AM) The Sox might as well keep them I guess, as both of them are gone after 2016 anyways. I'd rather just hold onto them than trade them for another bad contract that has a commitment beyond 2016. This is why it's not such a big deal if they are on the roster, that money frees up after next season anyway. Laroche is a candidate to have a bounce back season and Danks is only a liability for the Sox for 1 more year.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Nov 20, 2015 -> 09:51 AM) While that is true, how else are the Sox supposed to get rid of them? Eat money(laroche)/move to bullpen (danks)

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Nov 19, 2015 -> 03:01 PM) But nobody is arguing that Trayce's value comes from his ability to put up a 144 wRC+. Trayce is better because he's a good defender and baserunner, and no worse with the bat than Avi, whereas Avi is bad at literally everything except throwing. Send him down and convert him into a reliever.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 12, 2015 -> 12:56 PM) I got a Quintana shirsey for $5 last year before the PK ceremony. Maybe the best deal ever. Jealous man, everytime I look for a Quintana shirsey I don't find any L's.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 12, 2015 -> 12:41 PM) I got a Scott Downs road jersey for $25 at the season ticketholder party. It goes well with my $20 Gregory Infante, he of the career ERA 0.00 Infantes, black jersey. Everyone has a Konerko or a Sale. I like to be different, and it's a lot cheaper. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 12, 2015 -> 12:44 PM) I have a black Bajenaru 57. I'm on the same boat, I bought a $5 Semien shirsey at the garage sale at the end of last season.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 6, 2015 -> 06:43 AM) Not quite like that. It was a real couple, but he was stationed in Korea, and both are members of very wealthy and politically powerful families. http://deadspin.com/surprise-military-reun...bull-1727940877 Ah yes, that's what it was, thanks for that.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 5, 2015 -> 12:09 PM) The NFL (and other leagues) get paid by the DoD for their military tributes. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/defens...4b0411d306eda5e Weren't these things exposed as staged with a real soldier and a random hot chick, or am I confusing this with another thing?

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 02:13 PM) Once again Quintana gets overlooked, even by White Sox fans. +1

QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 01:17 PM) Kapler is a stats guy if I remember correctly. He's definitely a Friedman hire, maybe doing his old TB friend a solid? Sounds kinda like the Sox.
