QUOTE (GenericUserName @ Mar 1, 2018 -> 08:08 AM) I can't see him holding out two months into the year. If there is an earlier date at which the QO penalties expire I could see him holding out until then. I believe that is still the draft date unless it changed in the new CBA. I'm sure he'd still see some live pitching (players he knows around the league that aren't with a team, former teammates that may not be playing, etc) and working on defense during that time.

Any chance this guy holds out until after the draft? There seems to be almost no interest on him and being a Boras client, it seems like it could be a possibility.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 28, 2018 -> 10:55 AM) Swarzak was a pending free agent who was having a breakout year. Getting Cordell for him was a big win. Agreed. And Milwaukee had a nice farm system last season. He would have been ranked higher on most teams.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 28, 2018 -> 10:20 AM) I was going to post that but wasn't sure. Doesn't that just replace Hosmer? I think so too. Or even Moss.

QUOTE (Blackout Friday @ Feb 27, 2018 -> 09:07 PM) I know he has no power, but I think Narvaez is clearly the better choice. Left handed, competent receiver, and almost always puts together a good at bat. Agreed. He almost walks as much as he ks.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Feb 27, 2018 -> 01:06 PM) Most likely no. Other than 1B, it's probably the position that would have the least impact. If anything, it seems like his weight would likely limit him from future 3B.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 27, 2018 -> 11:19 AM) Jon Heyman‏Verified account @JonHeyman 41m41 minutes ago Tim Lincecum has his list of suitors whittled down to a couple teams, including a longtime rival, and is expected to make his decision within the next day or so. Doyers

QUOTE (BrianAnderson @ Feb 27, 2018 -> 09:12 AM) What are peoples thoughts on Lucroy? https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/l/lucrojo01.shtml Here's a guy who has never struck out more than 100 times in a season, who has basically average a .350OBP over the past half decade, can call a decent game, and where we have a real opportunity at DH/backup 1B for him to get a good amount of AB's. I feel like we may be able to give him more AB's than most teams and is a GREAT flip candidate for anybody who loses a catcher to injury or just needs a nice super UTIL guy at C/1B/DH for a stretch run. I also think he'd out perform Castillo and could form a real nice platoon over the next 2-3 years. I'd love to have Catcher be a real strength. In 2 years when Collins is ready you hand him the keys and keep one of these guys as your backup. I'm fine with what the Sox currently have in-house. Castillo is going to get most of the at bats and I like Narvaez as a lefty compliment.

QUOTE (turnin' two @ Feb 26, 2018 -> 05:08 PM) His best offer right now may be free drinks for a beer league softball team. My beer league baseball team could use Moose. A lot of our guys resemble the shape of Jake Burger.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 26, 2018 -> 02:39 PM) Never known ahead of time, but a formula based on the rookies that play this season. Yeah so teams usually wait until early June as a guesstimate.

QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 26, 2018 -> 02:29 PM) So, when is the Super 2 date again? Some time at the end of May but I don't think they would be too worried about that. The extra year of control is like 10 days into the season. I think he will be anytime between those dates.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Feb 26, 2018 -> 12:57 PM) that's like a split squad lineup. yikes. Yeah looks like a day off for the regulars.

LF Tilson 2B Saladino DH Delmonico 1B Davidson 3B Burger RF Palka C Smith CF Engel SS Rondon SP Kopech

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 26, 2018 -> 09:55 AM) It also tells me that there might be some smoke to the CarGo and Moose connections. Moreso someone like CarGo than Moose.

Voted Moncada based on nothing.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 26, 2018 -> 08:36 AM) I was as happy as anyone when the White Sox won the WS. But if you have regrets based on a baseball team, or any team, IMO, you probably need to make some changes. That's what I thought too lol

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 26, 2018 -> 06:25 AM) Yeah, it had its moments but nothing too memorable. Rachel McAdams gets better with age. Seconded. Second hottest Mean Girl.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Feb 26, 2018 -> 06:28 AM) https://rotochamp.com/baseball/PlayerRankin...tType=RotoChamp Daniel Pecota 3B rankings, Yolmer 40th, Davidson 52nd out of 124 ranked. Moustakas 12th Arenado 1, Bryant 2, Donaldson 3, Machado 6, Rendon 8th Justin Turner, if the Dodgers let him go eventually or pursue one of the Big 4, is 9th. Then Devers and Beltre 10th and 11th. Moustakas followed by Travis Shaw, Seager (who some want to pursue), Castellanos, Longoria, Marwin Gonzalez, Eugenio Suarez, Zack Cozart. Frazier 24th. Moncada 22nd, Tim Anderson 20th, Abreu 6th, Leury 61 and Delmonico 64 for LF, Leury 55th for CF, W Garcia 81, Cordell 84, Engel and May 93/94 out of 96 for CF, Avi Garcia 17th for RF, W.Castillo 10th at catcher/TFlow 17th So Moustakas would be the third highest ranked at his position on the Sox, after Abreu/Castillo...Avi 4th. This isn't a huge accomplishment when you look at the projected Opening Day lineup.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 25, 2018 -> 02:58 PM) Game Night was pretty entertaining. Not going to win any awards but worth your time. Especially with Moviepass

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Feb 24, 2018 -> 03:42 PM) The bad guys spent some serious money on their rebuild when they signed Lester, Heyward and Zobrist. That is not going to happen with the White Sox. That was at the end of the rebuild.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Feb 24, 2018 -> 07:27 AM) Ugh.. that is just awful. Top pitching prospect in the game too. Not sure if Reyes was before he tore his UCL, but second straight year a top pitching prospect goes down. With the way pitchers get hurt, probably longer than "second straight." It's a shame.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 23, 2018 -> 02:14 PM) You only get service time on the 25 man roster, I believe. But with the 25-man technically not being set, wouldn't he technically go to the MLB DL?

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Feb 23, 2018 -> 02:10 PM) All I see is the mlb.tv link, not the typical webcast that Russ Langer hosts. Lucky for me my buddy let me use his MLB.tv account so I am able to watch Abreu strike out just now, but still misleading to not have a Sox webcast of it. Oh s*** you're right. I just went there and accessed the mlbtv link without realizing it (I share an account with like 6 other people. It must have auto-renewed).

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Feb 23, 2018 -> 02:06 PM) No link yet? Whitesox.com

60-day DL stint will also open a spot on the 40 for a reliever.
