QUOTE (SoxAce @ Oct 17, 2016 -> 05:25 PM) That's the whole point with me. If you are rebuilding, why are you trading for a guy who will be 27 next season? Go young with the rebuild, don't half ass it like we've been doing with the "retooling". You're going to be disappointed if you are expecting a 4-5 year overhaul of the organization.

QUOTE (Lillian @ Oct 17, 2016 -> 03:36 PM) The Red Sox already have two southpaws in their rotation, with Price and Rodriguez. It would be historically unprecedented for them to have 3 left starters. The presence of the short left field "Green Monster" has always dictated that their rotation be primarily right handed. Therefore, while they have they pieces to trade for a top of the rotation starter, I don't see how they would target Sale. What am I missing here? They actually were using 3 (Pomeranz).

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Oct 17, 2016 -> 07:54 AM) A friend of mine who lives downstate is a big Cardinals fan. He told me over the weekend that the Cardinals have serious interest in Adam Eaton. I don't know if the White Sox want to trade Eaton and I don't know if the Cardinals have any players we would want in return. I would expect to see him in rumors this offseason but a team will definitely have to pay up.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Oct 16, 2016 -> 11:25 PM) I think MLBTR was just naming pieces that they felt would be expendable for Boston, not naming the entire package, or one they feel is fair. They did mention that it would likely take another good prospect or two.

If Dodgers take the first 2, no point of throwing Kershaw til game 6. Give him 5 days rest instead of 3. Cubs have struggled with the lefty starters this post season (Bumgarner wasn't awful, just one costly mistake to Arrieta who can hit) so let's go Rich Hill!

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 16, 2016 -> 09:57 PM) That might have been the worst strike call I have ever seen. Best of 5 series now, Dodgers had to win the Kershaw starts. Yep. Best of 5 series with Dodgers home field advantage.

And thats why I hate the bunt in that scenario. Edit: this was posted about the other bunt not the Puig bunt lol

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Oct 16, 2016 -> 06:41 PM) I wonder which teams the Sox beat out for the services of Getz for a position of similar significance. Zero. Maybe Royals

I wonder what his qualifications are.

Kershaw will be what, game 2 starter?

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 14, 2016 -> 08:31 AM) Cubs struggled with bats vs Dodgers during regular season. The @Cubs offense had a .199/.282/.310 slash line vs. the @Dodgers, all team lows vs. an NL team in reg. season. And that was without seeing Kershaw at all.

Qualifying offer set at $17.2 million.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Oct 13, 2016 -> 01:08 PM) Guys. I'm just afraid these threads are setting us all up for disappointment. I've got that feeling as well. I personally don't want to speculate too much myself to not be disappointed.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Oct 12, 2016 -> 09:32 PM) Saw speculation of sox going after cutch with Fuller, burdi or Hansen. That sounds like a Sox move. Where'd you see that? I hope we don't.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 12, 2016 -> 12:18 PM) I see no scenario where the Sox undergo a full scorched earth rebuild. Me either.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Oct 12, 2016 -> 08:57 AM) Sorry for bringing him up again, but why does nobody include Groome in potential packages? He's arguably their #3 prospect. I have.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Oct 12, 2016 -> 07:52 AM) They are the best team in baseball. It doesn't matter in October though because of variance. Conor Gillaspie is perfect example of it. This. 4 game sample size.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Oct 12, 2016 -> 12:27 AM) Dodgers match up way better in my opinion. Yeah I don't like that the Nats have neither Ramos nor Strasburg most likely.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 11:13 PM) I know Moore has 120 pitches, but with the way he pitched, I figured you go out and let him start the 9th if your plan was to go closer by committee. Exactly. He would have like a week off if they won this game and the series.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 11:10 PM) They'll face Rich Hill if the Dodgers win. Roark if the Nationals win. Yikes. Strasburg isn't coming back at all?

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 11:06 PM) Well, Brandon Crawford's botched DP caused them the game. Error on the most routine play earlier did too.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 11:03 PM) Giants bullpen converted 43 saves in 2016. They blew 32 saves. That's unbelievable for a playoff team. Especially considering they had zero wins when losing after 8th inning. Ouch.

If this series goes 5, they have to start Cueto and go Bumgarner out of the pen.

Gift run earlier is huge.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 07:01 PM) Who do you have in mind? He had said in a few posts Jackie Bradley Jr and Eduardo Rodriguez.
