QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Oct 6, 2017 -> 02:51 PM) Not that I disagree with you but I think May goes before Hanson. Yeah more thank likely.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 6, 2017 -> 01:25 PM) One thing to keep in mind if you are going to go on back to back days, pick the earlier film first. There is a one a day, but also a 24 hour waiting period. That's what you had mentioned before. Thanks for the heads up.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 6, 2017 -> 10:30 AM) He's a great pitcher who had a bad game. Anything other than that is a pure meatball. Yep.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Oct 6, 2017 -> 10:09 AM) I love me some Chris Sale. His antics may have been a bit annoying, but he loved playing on the south side and seemed like a very loyal teammate. I will never root against him to justify the trade we made. Me neither but due to the team he is on, it's similar to Q for me where I want him to do well personally but want a first round exit from the Red Sox.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 6, 2017 -> 09:54 AM) Probably but hanson stayed largely due to being able to play all 3 OF position. It made it easier to keep him since he I think played all positions except 1b/C at least once. And Peter can play those same positions (minus maybe CF, which Leury or Engel can play...whoever is on the bench).

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Oct 6, 2017 -> 09:40 AM) I don't think he's a scared pansy at all. I think he was overworked, and his emotions (anger) got the better of him. We've seen the emotions with him, on and off the field. Hopefully he'll get a chance to pitch again this year. I don't understand why people even think this way. "He's scared" "he doesn't have balls", etc. I don't think players are scared of pitching/playing in the playoffs. A young player may have nerves and he may jittery but thats not being scared. Maybe the guy's arm is tired. He is also going against a great offense.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 6, 2017 -> 09:26 AM) Those same guys are all back next year. It also leaves out Hansen and Saladino who are still ahead of everyone else. Hansen is easily a dude who can and I think will get cut when the time presents itself.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 6, 2017 -> 09:17 AM) I'm rooting for jake peter because he's kept producing, but last offseason I thought Peter was our preferred upcoming utility man. Out of spring training they sent him to AA after being in AAA the year before. He hit his way out and was smoking AAA...they didn't call him up in Sept. SS2k5 is right, there is something there the sox aren't that interested in. There really weren't at bats to go around either in the infield. Anderson shortstop, Moncada 2B, Yolmer, a good amount of at bats at 3B.

FINALLY received my moviepass card in the mail.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Oct 5, 2017 -> 10:00 PM) So - uh - is it really possible that he's deemed an unrestricted free agent? I'd seriously cream my pants if we picked him up for just cash. Jebus!!! I don't think he will be.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 5, 2017 -> 03:32 PM) He could easily turn this into a good performance still. Yeah there were some games here he would give up a couple first innings runs and then give no more over another 6 innings.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Oct 5, 2017 -> 01:03 PM) Yeah, I forgot about that. Or, I did a good job of erasing the image from my mind. Just as I have done a good job of erasing ALR's brief time with the White Sox lol

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Oct 5, 2017 -> 12:55 PM) I did not know the Sox had done that with LaRoche. I just figured that was the length he liked. It's a stupid rule, they are ball players not business exec's. ALR's beard was much bushier before he came over.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 5, 2017 -> 12:30 PM) That is actually a great example of why they don't do it. It was actually notable because NO ONE thought it would happen, and it shocked everyone to the point where no one had a bio prepped on him. Plus there is also the point of how well that worked out that needs mentioning. I would think a 25-year old who has hit good in the minors and plays more positions would be different than a 29-year old actually.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Oct 5, 2017 -> 12:18 PM) I'd be willing to bet Saladino is cut and Peter is on the MLB roster for us on Opening Day. Yeah I could see that. Especially if they end up going with a 3-man bench again. Those guys who can play both IF and OF are key on the bench.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 5, 2017 -> 12:22 PM) A 25 year old who couldn't even get time with this historically awful White Sox team. Teams are looking for star potential and big tools in the rule 5, not utility players. They can find those all over the place for pretty cheap. Yeah, like when we took Angel Sanchez in the Rule 5 draft like 4 years ago. (Sanchez was a 29-year old backup IF)

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Oct 5, 2017 -> 12:06 PM) Why is no one concerned about protecting Jake Peter? He's the type of guy who'd be taken immediately in the Rule 5 draft, and I'd rather see him get ML PAs and figure out what we have in him than see Saladino back out there again next year. I think Peter could be as good or better than Sanchez and offers the same positional versatility. I've just assumed that they will protect him as I think a team would definitely take him as a versatile bench piece.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 5, 2017 -> 10:46 AM) Really can't pull for either. Kinda hate both teams. Hope Sale does well. Basically the entire AL side for me besides the Astros. Can't root for ALC and I'll never root for Yankees and Red Sox (unless they go to world series against the Cubs). NL side, I'm good with Nats or Diamondbacks in the World Series (but naturally, Dodgers over Cubs).

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Oct 5, 2017 -> 10:34 AM) Would anybody trade Kopech for Sale straight up right now? Probably everybody. But there's a realistic chance that not many would make the same trade at the end of 2018. Sure Sale will be coming off a CY and is ridiculous, but if Kopech keeps dominating, he might have similar peripherals and come at 600k per year. I know that's optimistic but it's not ludicrous. Just crazy to think about their value rankings could change as early as the end of 2018 or 2019. Glad we traded Sale when we did. I agree. His value would only go down after that point.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Oct 5, 2017 -> 09:41 AM) I would love to ditch the divisions with top three getting in and 4 and 5 play in game. Yeah and then everyone plays each other equal amount of times home and away (maybe still keep it where interleague is division against division).

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 5, 2017 -> 08:46 AM) Have I mentioned lately how wrong my instincts were about these play-in games? They're great. One of the best changes baseball has made in recent years. There was like that 3-4 years in a row when there had to be a game 163 that helped push it in this direction.

QUOTE (2005thxfrthmmrs @ Oct 4, 2017 -> 11:29 PM) Padres kept 3 guys who barely played above rookie ball in the ML roster this season. They will continue to do that until they are ready to compete. That would probably be the only team that would take him #alltheamateurinternationalsignings

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Oct 5, 2017 -> 08:48 AM) Couldn't even imagine the thought... Summer time with a younger crowd (upper teens/early 20s) and likely more people. Would be insane. Each of us would know someone effected by a shooting of that magnitude in Chicago.

QUOTE (bighurt574 @ Oct 4, 2017 -> 06:14 PM) He's also said that he doesn't want to go through a rebuild. We'd certainly be further along and nearly out of rebuild mode by adding him, but we're not exactly a playoff team yet either. Who knows how he'd feel about us. I didn't mean to make it sound like I was pro-Stanton trade. I was just saying in general a team interested wouldn't need to sweeten it for him just because the Marlins have been a suckhole.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 4, 2017 -> 01:53 PM) Which basically means he will need some sort of trade kicker. Not really. He's been vocal about hating the team and negativity around the organization as early as last week. His kicker is he finally grts the f*** out of that organization.
