QUOTE (Saufley @ Dec 29, 2016 -> 10:55 AM) Is Lawrie really needed on this team? Not really. I'd honestly rather see Saladino at second every day until Moncada is ready. I guess Lawrie could play third if Frazier gets dealt but I'd rather add a sign and flip or see what Davidson can do.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 29, 2016 -> 08:13 AM) I can't see us trading Quintana in the division so that we have to face him all season. Cleveland is unlikely to want to clean out the rest of their farm as well. It would be one thing if he was a rental for only a season but yeah not for 4.

QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Dec 29, 2016 -> 06:48 AM) Frazier has had almost 1,000 straight PA's of hitting under .230 with a OBP under .310...and you're pretty confident he's suddenly going to turn that around? I'm sure not. He's going to have to make drastic changes at the plate because his entire approach is pretty awful honestly. It boggles my mind that a professional hitter thinks its a good to go up to the plate and try to hook every single pitch he sees to the left. And no, there's no market for Frazier. Until he proves he's something other than a HR or nothing guy I really don't see any teams lining up for his services. I agree. We're probably looking at a deal less than what we gave up for him (not hating on that deal though since I don't think any of those guys will amount to much).

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 28, 2016 -> 08:03 PM) Because I don't see their values going up, I'm in the camp that you have to trade Frazier at the least for whatever you get for him. If nothing else, we have a guy who can crew that position right now who I want to see play there for a full season. As much as I hate to say it, and mind you I HATE to say it, there's less motivation to move Cabrera because there's no one pushing that position who might be worth anything of value, so you might as well hold onto him and see if someone gets hurt on another team and they suddenly think he can fill in. Melky I kind of doubt gets traded (and if he does, it'll be for some struggling reliever struggling in AAA or something like that).

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 28, 2016 -> 07:50 PM) I am in the camp that doesn't see the rest of the list of players after Nate Jones having much value. I think a lot of these guys are back next year because there is no line of teams that really wants to trade for them. Same.

Very misleading title lol I was very confused at first.

Rockies expressing interest in Holland. I wish this mofo would come off the market already.

QUOTE (Con te Giolito @ Dec 28, 2016 -> 02:22 PM) http://www.fanragsports.com/mlb/heyman-str...luggers-remain/ No specific mention of which names, but here it is: They're definitely going to grab a Carter or Lind type player before spring training to DH and also potential flip for anything in July candidate.

We have added a decent amount of pages today for nothing new. Blah.

Can't seem to find a release date for the game "Days Gone" which was revealed at E3 this summer. Looks badass. Anyone who likes Last of Us will likely enjoy this game.

QUOTE (Al Lopez's Ghost @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 07:27 PM) Soon, it will be Wednesday. Wednesday is coming.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 06:51 PM) Missing OF Caleb Gindl that the Sox signed a couple weeks ago, and I'm pretty sure the Sox resigned Marcus Lemon. Other than that, looks great. Caleb Gindl is on there (was earlier anyway).

QUOTE (southside hitman @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 04:21 PM) The fact that the Pirates have been trying to trade Cutch should tell you Meadows isn't going anywhere. They absolutely love him. The reason they are attractive trade partners is because they can put together a really strong package without him. Glasnow and Bell are top 20 prospects and they have Newman (#42) and Keller (#72) as well. I would absolutely love a deal with Glasnow/Bell as the centerpieces + maybe Keller or some other high upside guys. Sox are not likely getting three top 50 prospects, that would be more than what Sale got. If we can't have Meadows, then I want both Keller and Newman as well as Glasnow. If they're hell bent on keeping Bell, then I would want Hayes and another.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 04:18 PM) Damnit Hi8is Would have worked better as a Rick Roll.

QUOTE (southside hitman @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 03:15 PM) "Our" Luis Alexander Basabe is the much better prospect than his brother. I heard Jim Callis tell a story that when the Diamondbacks traded Ziegler to the Red Sox last year, they accidentally asked for Alejandro when they actually wanted Alexander. Normally I'd say thats unbelievable, but this is Dave Stewart we are talking about... I was only joking really haha but that is a crazy story.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 02:13 PM) It was mentioned on MLBN this morning that Basabe will be in the top 100 when it gets updated for MLB.com Our Luis Basabe correct? Not his twin brother Luis Basabe? haha

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 01:15 PM) I'm not saying they'd necessarily get much of value, probably lottery tickets, but the point is that they don't have negative value - as is being implied when people propose the Sox take them and get extra Yankees prospects. Agreed. Especially not to the point where they would offer better prospects just to get rid of them.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 12:32 PM) Not really. As I said, it doesn't really count as doing them a favour when they could just do it to another team and probably get something back for it rather than give something away. Agreed. I would think the Yankees would rather just trade either/or for something rather than making them have to give up more in a deal with the Sox.

God f***ing dammit.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 12:04 PM) Seems Bruce confirmed report, but his reporting is equally suspect IMO lol he literally just said that Bob Nightengale reported it in his tweet. His reporting is beyond suspect.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 11:55 AM) Rosenthal take a vaca or what? I think so. Said he was going off the grid for a bit.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 11:50 AM) Eh. If they were one year deals, I'd agree. BOth are signed through 2018. Would add $25M to the payroll both this year and next. That is quite a lot to swallow, and would definitely affect the Sox chances of competing in 2018 if a bunch of stuff went right this season with prospect development. I would definitely take one.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 11:28 AM) Jesus Christ, the posturing never stops I know. I'm so glad I'm not a GM. It would be so stressful.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 11:25 AM) The #Yankees and #Pirates currently most aggressive teams in talks with #Whitesox about Quintana, and, yes, even discussed potential 3-way https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/813796600787206149 I love that we got a tweet about the Yankees not even discussing a deal.

I would say I'm ready to quit following this topic until something happens but I'm just way too bored at work. I'm still somewhat new and no one has time to train me lol
