QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 01:19 PM) I foresee the Sox going strong after pitching as I think they are going to clean out some of their upper level depth to get a bat or two to supplement the ML roster. I agree. Example: Sox get young MLB bats (or an mlb bat and position player prospects close to mlb) for Quintana. Go on to draft pitching with first 3 picks.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 10:15 AM) Sooner or later, if the franchise doesnt want to completely lose the fanbase, they are either going to need to completely rebuild or go after higher priced FAs. It cant be neither. I completely agree, but this is Jerry we're talking about. Keep expecting patchwork teams.

Mlbtr had a breakdown of every team and the biggest contract they have given out in their history. Biggest Sox contract? 6/68 to Jose Abreu. They aren't going to sign Heyward, Upton, or Cespedes guys.

QUOTE (Baron @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 07:33 PM) So much money in that rotation Yeah. But they'll be able to afford it.

My Cubs offseason prediction: talks heat up for Tyson Ross, they trade for him and also sign Price. Boast a rotation of: Price Arrieta Lester Ross Hendricks Edit: I guess Hendricks could be part of the deal in which case it is Hammel.

A friend of mine just made a status saying the Mets aren't even that good lol ok

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 09:50 PM) Loved the quiet subtle fist bump by the Mets couple Noticed that too. Loved it.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 09:03 PM) I hate the National League game. It's awful. Yep. Both leagues need to be even period.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 08:20 PM) Just as I say that, Ripken makes his first decent analysis of the playoffs by mentioning rizzo was blocking the base. I always forget he's in the booth. He hardly even speaks.

QUOTE (Baron @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 08:06 PM) So what kind of contract are we signing Murphy to? 4/44

Wow the pitcher batting is so exciting let me tell you.

Depending on the wind, this place can be Coors or Petco. Take out the wind and it is no band box. It's a big outfield.

Deflate this crowd!

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 07:11 PM) I will never understand how fielders are allowed to block a base. Cubs have been doing that all year Cubs aren't the only team that does it but I agree.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 03:31 PM) I wouldn't pay that much for a Blackhawks Stanley Cup game honestly, but I don't particularly like hockey. Hell, I doubt I'd even pay over $1000 for a White Sox World Series game. I just can't justify dropping that much money on a single event when I could watch it for much, much less in the comfort of my own home. You wouldn't but others would. The price for hockey games is insane and why I'll never go again as I am just a casual hockey fan (a Wolves game will be good enough).

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Oct 18, 2015 -> 10:29 PM) Was hoping Soler would break this out. In reference to Soler not being big on the cold, I wonder if Soler could be a trade chip for them this off-season (west coast or Texas team). They could move Bryant to RF then.

The cold weather is certainly more favorable to pitchers. It's supposed to be nice out here the next few days. However, the pitching match ups are unfavorable for the Cubs. They needed at least one in New York.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 18, 2015 -> 09:10 PM) Not sure Familia is available tonight Day off tomorrow. Why not?

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 18, 2015 -> 07:37 PM) I'm not seeing it. What are you guys talking about? Lol people pay more attention to stuff they don't want to hear (anything positive about the Cubs in this instance). They've said a lot of good about the Mets staff all post-season

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 18, 2015 -> 07:35 PM) TBS guys the whole playoff have a huge case of Cubbie Chubbie! To be fair analysts on all the channels get amped about any team that has a bunch of young guys in its core.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 18, 2015 -> 07:32 PM) Could these announcers by any more pro-Cubs? I think they've been fair. Ron Darling actually used to play for the Mets so I think he's pro-Met. Cal Ripken doesn't really talk at all.

God this thread is humorous. Every topic on here lately is just arguing between 2-3 people. I think I'm going on a hiatus from this site for a while. Peace.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 17, 2015 -> 09:27 PM) Granderson with an 88% success ratio scoring that runner from third and less than two outs. Why was Montero so far behind home when he caught the ball? Posey Rule or just didn't realize he was too far back to be able to do anything but lunge forward with a tag? Throw was off

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Oct 16, 2015 -> 10:50 AM) You know how much I like the idea of trading Q but if the Dodgers offered Puig and Barnes, I'd have a difficult time saying no. Problem is that I have no idea who replaces Q in the rotation with Montas and Fulmer needing time in the minors. Maybe a lesser pitching free agent or an mlb ready pitcher in a Q deal. Some ideas: -Cahill: cheap option. Not really good. Maybe he can be fixed. -Estrada -Fister -Gee -Guthrie -Iwakuma -Lackey -Latos -Norris Now I am by no means saying they can replicate what Q does, but they would still provide depth.

QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Oct 16, 2015 -> 09:40 AM) I live about 20 mins outside of philly so I've had the misfortune of watching a good amount of the Phillies....we don't want Asche as anything other than a utility guy. I don't ever see him being a legit major league hitter. Ah...well that takes care of that then. I just imagine we'll end up plugging 3B with a guy in a similar situation to him or signing Freese or that Korean 3B as to not giving up prospects or anyone from the rotation to fix 3B. I will be a little upset if Saladino, Olt, Davidson, minor league signing/Beckham battle for the position in spring training after months of off-season baseball.
