QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 12, 2014 -> 06:29 AM) Because he continuously lights them up every time we play them. Its true. It seems like he hits at least 2 homers a series every time we play there

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Dec 12, 2014 -> 04:30 AM) I think he's counting Eaton and Danks, who projectJohmsomDanks fourth outfielder. Still though. Pick up the best available bat and if he happens to bat left handed, add a right handed 4th OF like Ruggiano or Johnson

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 07:14 PM) The line about too LH makes no sense to me. You have Avi and Eaton out there, with Shuck probably the 4th outfielder. If the Cubs sign Gomes, I wonder if they'd make Ruggiano available? Thats who I was going to suggest too. I was also thinking earlier, lets make another deal with Billy for Coco Crisp!

QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 01:08 PM) I don't think either of them would bring back enough in a trade to warrant moving them. Keep Petricka as your swing man and Webb as the potential guy who can become a dynamic set up man. I don't really think we're in a position to be trading relief pitchers either way and other teams aren't going to be targeting ours to fix their pens so it's really a moot point. R CL Robertson R SU Petricka L SU Duke R MR Webb L MR Jennings Last two spots between Putnam, Guerra, Onelki Garcia, Surkhamp and whatever retreads we bring in. Any of those guys durable enough to start/long relief? I also think Webb starts the year in the minors

Its kinda funny too that the Dodgers are paying Dee Gordon and Dan Haren's salary in 15 too haha

QUOTE (Butter Parque @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 12:32 PM) And then that money would pay for a LF or RF? Yeah as you would be clearing like 20 mill off the books moving Viciedo and Danks

QUOTE (Butter Parque @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 12:27 PM) Not a Webb fan. Wouldn't have a problem with it. I just hope its not Crawford. I don't think it would be. My idea was that they would attach a good reliever with him to be able to clear all of Danks salary without having to pay any

With all the relievers we are bringing in, I can totally see Hahn trying to get creative on a deal attaching one of Petricka, Putnam, Guerra in a deal with Danks to a team that needs starting pitching and bullpen depth and can take on Danks contract

What a great deal for this team! The way I see it: Bassitt and Ynoa may be a wash as both may end up in the pen, We didn't need Phegley on this team as he couldn't hit or field, Ravelo really didn't have room on this team, but obviously Semien has the most upside out of this group. And then we either extend Samardzija or collect a draft pick for him.

Wish I could watch all the coverage online

Bring back Keppinger on a minor league deal. Just kidding...but we are still paying him.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 09:50 AM) Well, depending on who that other free agent is, that team could get the #2 and the Yankees bumped down to #3. I don't think that's true

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 08:25 AM) He belongs in the rotation right out of spring training imo. I don't think that's going to happen but I think it gives us the best chance of winning and long term I think it's best for his development too. I say let him develop some in the minors for two months and then call him up for Noesi or a Danks trade.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 06:13 AM) I went to bed last night when this deal was "on the verge" with the Sox giving up Semien and Danish+. I like this deal better, provided the third player isn't Danish or Thompson. Now hearing that Shark could extend is even better. Thompson is a bust. Don't know why people would care if he got dealt.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 12:35 AM) Holy s*** I forgot all about Nate. If Jones comes back strong, that bullpen will have Robertson, Jones, Duke, Putnam, Petricka. Then a LOOGY and Bassitt/Noesi. Like. Jones isn't supposed to be back until August

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 03:50 PM) It worked out well for Liriano. Pirates have actually had a lot of success past few seasons turning guys around. Burnett, Liriano, Volquez

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 08:14 AM) Rodon? For 1 year of Shark? Are you nuts? Rodon may be able to = Shark, a number 2 at best, next year. Alexei only. No way does a team with 3/4 top prospects give 1/4-1/3 of that for shark. Even secondary prospects like Rondon, who becomes elite if he learns to hit, should be off the table. And if you carefully read the posts on the last page, no one is suggesting this...

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 06:51 AM) I will say I'm 99.9999% say that Rodon won't be involved. Yeah I'm just saying that I really only consider a few guys untouchable prospects in our org prospect wiese and hes one of them.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 06:47 AM) Rodon can't be involved. Yes he can as a PTBNL

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 06:41 AM) The Chicago #Whitesox are looming as the #frontrunner to acquire #Athletics ace Jeff Samardzija after the clubs engaged in serious talks https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/541918673565261824 Oakland and the White Sox have been frequent trade partners through the years. Execs on both sides say they work well together. #Samardzija https://twitter.com/Buster_ESPN/status/541924420751605760 As long as Rodon and Anderson are not involved, I'm ok dealing for him

If they are willing to go $9+ mill on a closer, I think that means they are willing to let the payroll go to about $115 mill

If they are willing to go $9+ mill on a closer, I thimk that means they are willing to let the payroll go to about $115 mill

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 12:45 AM) Ugh. I know our bullpen sucked last year, but I hate giving big money to relievers, especially on anything over 2 years. Robertson is a fantastic pitcher, and has been for quite a few years, so I wouldn't worry about him busting like I would with Duke, but Duke is only making $5M a season, which isn't a crippling amount. I would hate to see us pay a reliever $12M+ a year. That's insane to me. I agree

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 12:15 AM) So they essentially got Billy McKinney and Dan Straily for free. I wonder who the Cubs trade Hammel to in 7 months. Probably Oakland lol with the way Beane deals I wouldn't be surprised

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Dec 7, 2014 -> 05:53 PM) http://www.csnchicago.com/white-sox/white-...dos-future-week Yep. If we acquire another OF, he's likely traded to whoever wants him for anything. With Baltimore losing Markakis, Cruz and Young, they lack an OF and a DH. Maybe they would give Dayan a shot on the cheap.
