QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Oct 31, 2015 -> 05:32 PM) Seriously? Would it really be dumb to take that kind of money from a young team that made it to the NLDS this year? Come on Greg... I know right? Plus they were a playoff team

I prefer Heyward. I realize I'm shooting for the moon but he's my guy I want. If we don't sign him, I hope we trade for Puig.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 31, 2015 -> 05:23 PM) I have so many friends I know that love the Royals - and have since before they were good. I want them to be happy. But christ. It's funny because those are the only fans I know that understand when I say I hate this Royals team. All the new "great" Royals fans are disgraces to baseball. Me too. I'm a KC Chiefs fan so I follow their sports. But good god they have turned into a bunch of salty douchebags

Royals fans have turned into cry baby b****es

He's not leaving KC for us. I doubt that.

I'm tired of wasting Sale, Q, and Abreu. It's time to make things happen. Be aggressive again.

I'd be ok with this depending on the deal

QUOTE (Soxfan90 @ Oct 29, 2015 -> 10:18 PM) Huh? Donaldson was already traded to the Jays when we did the Shark trade. That shark deal was discussed a while before the winter meetings.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Oct 29, 2015 -> 09:25 PM) What does everyone think it'll take to get Norris? Please no Erik Johnson and Carlos Sanchez trade suggestions. I'm still shocked we didn't try and involve him or Donaldson in the Shark trade last season. Anywho, I'd say some package of EJ. I'm not sure what his value is.

I'd like this move but he's missed a lot of games the past two seasons. I'd still take a chance on him.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Oct 29, 2015 -> 02:06 PM) I mean Steverson specifically. What's there to complain about? '14 we started off really hot. Last year really cold. We don't even have a good group of hitters to begin with. I'm done b****ing about a hitting coach until we get some actual hitters in this lineup.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Oct 28, 2015 -> 10:52 PM) Just guessing man. Seemed a bit premature bringing him up. I get the reasons why they brought him up if you believe he's staying in our organization...just brainstorming the other angle to be thorough. Feel free not to acknowledgw that side of the GM game. I'm not ripping at you. I was just asking.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Oct 28, 2015 -> 09:03 PM) Haha OP i'm an idiot- sorry for the SS post. I think the only reason Montas was brought up to the big leagues was to beef up his value. I think the Sox put him in the pen to highlight his fastball amd mask his longevity issues- but now I bet plenty of GMs are salivating over that build and velocity. Methinks the Sox see something with him that is no bueno. He gone. You're basing this off of what exactly? Season was lost. Why not give him a taste?

We'll see if the Mets can get to Cueto.

QUOTE (Baron @ Oct 28, 2015 -> 08:22 PM) Robert Murray ‏@RobertMurrayBBE 26s27 seconds ago Former #Cubs manager Rick Renteria is "an early favorite" to serve as Bud Black's bench coach with the #Nationals, per @JamesWagnerWP. https://twitter.com/RobertMurrayBBE Not surprising but not alot of coaches want to hitch their wagon to the lame duck manager here. Yup. It's a terrible strategy for this team. Just get rid of the f***ing guy.

Be nice if we'd hire a bench coach

I see Ventura as the douchebag (just a young immature hot head). I don't get the hate on Moose and Hosmer. And ya what Hosmer did was cool and a nice gesture. I just don't see them in the Swisher category.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 28, 2015 -> 07:59 PM) Drabek is still in the organization, and probably has a slight chance of making the team next year. this is a free spring training look at a young guy who was a top prospect not too long ago. Acquiring guys like these 2 won't work out all the time, but they cost next to nothing and eventually you will hit on one or more. Exactly. Doesn't hurt throwing numbers at that spot.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Oct 28, 2015 -> 05:41 PM) Josh Nelson @SSS_joshnelson So, @jimcallisMLB - do you think Don Cooper and Herm Schneider can fix Jacob Turner? Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisMLB 8h8 hours ago We'll see. I do know this, Turner is in good hands with the @WhiteSox and worth a shot. Hope it works out. Key question is, is he 100%?

FA classes seem to suck every year. Yet the good teams make solid additions. We need to go out and be aggressive again. My number one goal for this offseason is protection for Abreu. Need a bat behind him.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Oct 28, 2015 -> 03:19 PM) You're right. Latos had one bad year, a really bad year, and it was last year. Four teams bad. Dodgers cut him in their stretch drive. I saw him pitch a few games, and he got hit very hard. Plus he's fat and got paid $9 Large last year. Id pitch like s*** too if I was only making 9 dollars

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Oct 28, 2015 -> 01:36 PM) Really? You spend an awful lot of time posting on a White Sox message board for a guy that didn't happen to catch any of Montas' outings this season...You think you'd tune in just to see that. I had enough of s***ty baseball. I just checked his box scores.

For s***s and giggles, what ya guys thinking in return for Johnson and Montas?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Oct 28, 2015 -> 07:36 AM) He wasn't bad, but he needs to work on his control/limiting walks, as well as his efficiency. I'm not referring to his MLB starts, but this is a guy who rarely gets into the 6th inning in AA. I think he will be an effective relief pitcher, but not a starter. Ya he needs work. I've been checking his starts at AA. He's going to AAA I can just about guarantee that. It was still nice to get him some big league experience and for him to have some level of success is encouraging. I know he needs to work on his command and BB/9.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Oct 28, 2015 -> 07:22 AM) I'd roll with Sale, Quintana, Rodon, and Danks, with the 5th starter being Erik Johnson to start the season, but perhaps changing depending on his performance. Montas isn't ready yet. I didn't get to watch Montas. How did he look? Statistically seemed decent.
