I voted 68-71 wins.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 31, 2017 -> 10:42 AM) If you are looking for tickets to this, stubhub has tickets as low as $15. Wow... I'd definitely be on board to go if it was on a Friday again. Would be a good start to a 2 and a half day weekend.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 31, 2017 -> 10:29 AM) Counter point: The youngsters start coming up and the huge FA class hits. Quintana leads your staff of Q, Rodon and any three of Giolito/Lopez/Fulmer and possibly even Kopech or Hansen. Suddenly you might even be able to flip some of the young pitching. Q is definitely a leader in the clubhouse and could easily fill this team's Lester role. I think the upcoming draft, Robert and returns for Frazier/Nelly/Robertson will ultimately decide Q's fate if no team blows them away. Your strategy is to hold onto Q for 4 years and bank on guys in the upcoming draft and Robert to be immediate impact players in that time?

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Mar 31, 2017 -> 10:33 AM) I think our best trade chip other than Q is Jones. He could get us a nice package this summer. Frazier and I assume he meant Melky aren't going to bring back big returns. Robertson has a chance to bring something useful back.

QUOTE (shipps @ Mar 31, 2017 -> 10:22 AM) I think I can honestly say that I have way more of a connection with Q than I ever did with Sale. In this past month I have definitely had moments of seriously wanting to not trade Q at all and figure out this rebuild with Q as the centerpiece of the future. Today is one of them days that I am totally down with that. So we only keep him for 1, maybe 2 years of being good? Pass. Give me a haul sometime in the next 4 months.

I just realized it's almost summer dress season...no better time to work downtown than the spring/summer.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Mar 31, 2017 -> 08:20 AM) For a team like this, LH/RH is almost meaningless. Agreed. But just as I mentioned above, Asche is basically a lock for the team.

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Mar 31, 2017 -> 08:17 AM) I agree that it isn't a big deal but IMO, it is probably a waste of time and money. What bothers me is that they need a LH bat to DH and Davidson takes up that last roster spot. Asche is basically a lock to get DH at bats.

QUOTE (yesterday333 @ Mar 30, 2017 -> 05:58 PM) So with his speed do we now think he can stick in CF? I mean even if he loses a couple steps as he fill out, he is still really fast. At least for the first few years of his big league career.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 30, 2017 -> 03:07 PM) If Q wins the Cy Young I'll never want to let him go. There's a chance he wins it on another team.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Mar 30, 2017 -> 02:47 PM) Jello wrestling is better. Works for me.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 30, 2017 -> 01:51 PM) You don't want to see Plan B. lol

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Mar 30, 2017 -> 01:46 PM) Garfien/Podsednik>>>Kaplan/DeJesus. Hell yeah. Suck it Cubs............ I think we need to settle this debate by having both of their wives mud-wrestling.... seriously though, Kim DeJesus is a babe.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Mar 30, 2017 -> 01:37 PM) Can his wife join the telecast? It would really be worth watching. Basically the only way I would watch.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Mar 30, 2017 -> 01:37 PM) whats plan B if we dont get this guy? It would seem to depend on when he is cleared. There really is no plan B if he is cleared and signs somewhere in this period. Move on to someone else in next period.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Mar 30, 2017 -> 12:23 PM) I think there's a decent chance the Sox sign this guy. KW loves this type of move and now that they are officially rebuilding he should be able to sell it to JR. I'd be for it. Who cares about next year, grab this guy and go as far over the limit as you have to. I wonder if KW is there lol

Nationals name Blake Treinen closer. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2017/03/nati...nen-closer.html

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Mar 30, 2017 -> 08:41 AM) He does seem to be an interesting candidate for a rebuilding club Outside of last season at AA he has not shown much though I don't think the Sox would have interest. If May didn't have the spring he had, I think there would be interest however.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 30, 2017 -> 07:42 AM) Not gonna lie, I'm disappointed this is going to TV. I was excited for the movie and I don't feel a tv cgi treatment will do it justice Agreed. Not a big enough budget.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 29, 2017 -> 06:59 PM) Right, but they'd still have to take him off the DL when he's ready, and call his minor league games a rehab assignment. We just don't know what they're thinking right now. Wait, I'm pretty sure his rehab assignment can be part of his dl stint.

Aneury Tavarez has been placed on waivers. Rule 5 guy. If he clears, he gets offered back to Boston. He had a nice Spring Training. Seems like the type of guy a rebuilding team should have interest in.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 29, 2017 -> 05:46 PM) When Asche, Soto, and Swarzak get added, somebody has to be dropped from the 40-man. Liriano DFA probably. I don't believe so. Rodon, Minaya, Tilson dl

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Mar 29, 2017 -> 01:44 PM) Dan Hayes @CSNHayes now W/ Carlos Rodon & Juan Minaya starting on DL and Zack Burdi headed to Triple-A, leaves 12 pitchers for 12 spots. Means Swarzak/Ynoa are on. Does that guarantee Covey a spot then?

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Mar 29, 2017 -> 01:21 PM) Yes, but they also have Puig, Pederson, Ethier, Van Slyke, and possibly Thompson in line for playing time in the OF as well. They have been working him in the OF, but I don't know if he can get enough at bats to warrant having him on the ML roster. They will probably buy-out Ethier after this year, Van Slyke has become so irrelevant and is always hurt. Thompson is basically the 5th guy on the bench for ability to play CF. Definitely room for him to get everyday at bats in LF if they were to role out an OF of Bellinger, Pederson/Thompson, Puig with Toles or Van Slyke on the bench.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Mar 29, 2017 -> 01:16 PM) They still have Gonzalez at 1B through 2018. I thought he was gone after this season for some reason. Thanks for the correction. Can still end up seeing time in the OF at the MLB level for a brief stint (Toles shouldn't block anyone).
