2016 Cubs catch-all thread
QUOTE (dpd9189 @ Sep 2, 2016 -> 12:35 AM) The Cubs are always going to get the frat bros and the trixies crowd plus the tourists but they also have fans that live and die with the team. I think the Cell and Sox fans kind of get a bad rap, most of the games I've been too Sox fans are always paying attention and are as die hard as any fans in MLB. There's always going to be some people there who are just there for the party/booze and can give a rats ass about the game but that's everywhere. Problem has been there hasn't really been much to cheer or get excited about since the 2005 season. 2006 and 2008 were fun seasons but since then they've been a constant disappointment which has resulted in a more lethargic crowd. We have had other exciting years since 05...I hate the notion that winning the World Series is the only factor for an exciting season for some.

New Ballpark Name
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 2, 2016 -> 04:29 AM) http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/b...0901-story.html White Sox get no new monies from Guaranteed Rate deal.... They receive less than they were getting from US Cellular.

Jon Heyman: Sox have little interest in moving Sale or Quintana
QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Sep 1, 2016 -> 04:36 PM) He is Boston's #1 target to replace Ortiz Have the Sox actually said this? Ortiz said he wants him to replace him but that's because they're good buds.

2016 Minor League Catch-All thread
QUOTE (southside hitman @ Sep 1, 2016 -> 01:36 PM) Keith Law's thoughts on Zack Collins defense. Nate: Zack Collins is start at HiA has been pretty solid. Any reports on his catching? Klaw: He’s not a catcher. He’ll hit his way to the majors at another position. Grab the man an outfielder glove.

Give it a shot. If we suck, deal guys in June/July/next offseason.

Arizona Fall League
QUOTE (balfanman @ Sep 1, 2016 -> 10:22 AM) I liked Rowand as a player, but I certainly hope that this is not so they can announce him as the new manager after this season ends and claim that he has experience. I was literally coming here to say the same thing.

Dodgers attempted to trade for Greinke. Diamondbacks should have gotten out from under the deal ASAP.

2016 Cubs catch-all thread
QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Sep 1, 2016 -> 07:11 AM) Their fans say they're the best double play duo ever, even better than Alomar and Vizquel. It's quite comical, actually. Yeah definitely too soon to say that. But they still look really good.

Sox in pursuit of Puig
QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Sep 1, 2016 -> 08:04 AM) Puig, sorry. I'd go: LF Cespedes (doesn't like CF), CF Eaton (best option of the 3), Puig RF.

The double play duo of Russell and Baez is legit.

Sept 1 roster expansion
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 31, 2016 -> 08:04 PM) So they're not going to bring back Fulmer up to start in Ranaudo's spot? Sigh. Maybe he legitimately is better off in a "real" playoff race than pitching in expanded roster games in September. Of course, the Tigers and Royals are battling for a wild card spot and Cleveland has to maneuver for best possible record, so "overexposing" him as a starter to fellow AL Central teams might not be advantageous. And the Twins have a pretty explosive line-up, although they struggle to drive in RISP. Flip a coin on what is ultimately best. No such thing. If you ask anyone if they'd rather come up to the Majors for a month or play in a minor league playoff game, 9 out of 10 would rather spend a month in the majors.

White Sox Listening on Sale
Figured this would be a good spot to post this. The Red Sox are calling up Yoan Moncada tomorrow.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Aug 31, 2016 -> 05:31 PM) Any 9 year + old little league player could have done better. Bring in the dog from that gif someone posted a long time ago when comparing Avi's defense lol

How was Hawk during this? I bet he was upset. Wish I could have heard his reaction.

Sox in pursuit of Puig
QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Aug 31, 2016 -> 03:08 PM) ESPN reports the team that claimed him was only really interested in blocking him from getting to another team. That makes me think Twins, based on the public knowledge that the White Sox have/had interest. Probably didn't even make it to the Twins.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 31, 2016 -> 02:47 PM) They still haven't said who won the claim? No but it doesn't really matter if a deal wasn't made.

8/31 - White Sox at Tigers
QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 31, 2016 -> 02:59 PM) Robertson has been so disappointing. Amazing how bad the last two offseasons were. Fire Hahn Agreed. Overall, Robertson has not been worth the money. Edit: maybe last year when he was at his cheapest during his contract with us. It escalates by a million every year.

2016 MLB catch all thread
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 30, 2016 -> 03:36 PM) If the reports about the Sox not sending a scout are true, good for them. What a complete waste of time. They DID send scouts. Only 3 teams didn't.

8/31 - White Sox at Tigers
QUOTE (Scoots @ Aug 31, 2016 -> 12:49 PM) I'd take Saladino over Lawrie any day. Next year I would have Lawrie on the bench and Saladino the starting 2b...that's not gonna happen though. Or trade Lawrie.

Game Thread August 30th 2016
QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Aug 30, 2016 -> 11:01 PM) This organization owes John Danks an apology. Would rather he was still going out there every 5th day the rest of this year than trading for Shields and watching him suck for the remainder of this year and next 2.

Sox in pursuit of Puig
I'd take him for sure. I just don't see him going anywhere until the offseason.
