QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Feb 15, 2017 -> 08:25 AM) I am holding an outdoor baseball practice for my travel team outside in February this weekend. The weather this weekend will be remembered when they are freezing their asses off in early April. I've got a group of guys that are going to go hit Saturday and Sunday. Can't wait!

QUOTE (3GamesToLove @ Feb 15, 2017 -> 08:04 AM) Definitely the kids. Don't want to put on guys like Q and Frazier only for it to also become outdated within months. I agree with this.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Feb 15, 2017 -> 07:01 AM) I nominate Hi8is to make our next banner with a dash of Poop. So edit out Sale and replace him with...Mr. Hankey.

QUOTE (shipps @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 02:40 PM) Personally I am not a huge fan of trading for a guy who just went down for Tommy John. Call me crazy. Yeah it's not really ideal. Maybe we'll see some other teams lose starting pitchers over the course of the next month.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 02:35 PM) Because in a year they could possibly have a better pitcher (and #1 prospect in baseball) than the one they traded plus a couple of extra pieces. It is a gamble but it could payoff big because they really aren't getting the value from other teams for a Q trade. Also depends on if Reyes would have to go on MLB dl like Profar did and waste a year of service time or if we did what the Angels did with Skaggs and put him in the minors and then on dl.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 01:55 PM) FanRag Sports ‏@FanRagSports 12m12 minutes ago FanRag Sports Retweeted Anthony Gironda jh: im not sure about hunter, but I hear the rays made an offer to wieters. As of now I don't believe they are the front runner. He definitely makes sense for the Rays since Ramos is out a while and they can alternate each between C and DH.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 01:44 PM) Ouch, this is a blow to the Cards. Don't see the Cards giving up the high cost it would take to acquire Q but I agree with those that suggest Gonzalez would be a good fit. They can ride Gonzalez for the '17 season while Reyes recovers. Wonder if this news makes Huntington think a bit more about Q. The subtraction of Reyes from the Cards and an addition of Q to the Pirates roster would be a significant swing. It's possible though I'm not counting on it. In a perfect world, the Pirates would finally give it up for Q and the Cards make a nice offer for Gonzalez. Would help both NLC teams push the cubs while helping the Sox get a higher draft pick in '18. Nothing wrong with a little day dreaming. This would be awesome.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 01:33 PM) It amazes me that the White Sox push their top starters harder than most any other team in baseball, yet they always have so many less injuries than anyone else does. It is kind of amazing. Yeah haha who are all the Cardinals who have had it over the past few years? Wacha, Wainwright, Lynn, Reyes now, Garcia I think and if you go back farther, Carpenter.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 01:15 PM) Because of the time of year it is now, it would have to be a full season. Typically 9 months is the low end. That would get you back after the world series. I was getting at the fact that every starter on St. Louis seems to have that surgery at some point in time.

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 12:41 PM) Jeff Passan @JeffPassan now There is significant concern inside the Cardinals' organization that Alex Reyes, their star pitching prospect, needs Tommy John surgery. More speculation coming now, we shall see how the Cards react. With that organization, it almost seems like a requirement to have to miss a year due to Tommy John.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 12:36 PM) My feathers are definitely ruffled. Shame on you. Pretty funny that it was the exact same quote.

QUOTE (shipps @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 12:35 PM) Didnt know I would ruffle feathers probably a wrong choice of words. I read a couple recent articles and rumors on twitter that make it seem as if its heating up again. NOTHING IS IMMINENT. You didn't ruffle my feathers lol just thought it was odd choice of words since I haven't seen anything in a while about Cutch and thought maybe I was missing something.

QUOTE (shipps @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 12:23 PM) I am slow. Is there a direct link to the Pirates trading Cutch and them trading for Q? There is a ton of rumors out there that they want to trade Cutch again. Seems to be heating up on that front. Where are these "tons of rumors"?

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 12:17 PM) Reyes getting injured is not likely to result in St Louis deciding to pursue a major trade like Quintana Also, I think the Sox are interested solely in elite prospects in exchange for Quintana, and beyond Reyes their system does not currently have any I agree with this. They will likely just sign best available starter remaining (de la Rosa?) and plug him into the 5th spot.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 12:04 PM) Seeing Sale in Red Sawx makes the soxtalk banner look ready to be updated lol Good point.

QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 11:45 AM) Sale quotes, if you care anymore... https://twitter.com/alexspeier During this long season of tanking, why not.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 11:29 AM) Would marijuana impact his physical at all? I know he's had problems with that in the past. I don't think so.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 10:59 AM) Damn. That quote is pretty telling and I'd be shocked if Robertson was a part of their long term plans. What else would he say? That's basically the situation him and all the veterans are in lol

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 09:42 AM) Eddie Gamboa DFAed. Huge news. Knuckleballers are fun....bring him in!

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 13, 2017 -> 07:49 PM) I actually thought it was the first move. I don't think they are this petty. What would be the point of trading those two and then just holding serve? Wouldn't we have a Napoli signing? A Wieters signing? Right. They would have improved the mutliple holes.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Feb 13, 2017 -> 06:42 PM) Why did the stupid Cincy GM (at the time) give Phillips a NTC in the first place? What was he gonna do, sign with Pittsburgh? The GM fraternity must be the most overpaid group of morons in the country. May have just been 5-10 rights.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Feb 13, 2017 -> 05:44 PM) Thats why i waa asking. Haha I know.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Feb 13, 2017 -> 05:07 PM) When did the sox pay for Laroche last year? They didn't.
