QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 8, 2016 -> 07:57 AM) Even with Q and Sale 2 guys that if traded are supposed to bring enough talent back to set the White Sox up for years, they finished 14th in MLB in pitching the last 2 seasons. 27th in 2014, and 20th in 2013. Keepimg him is fine, but his Guru status with some is ridiculous. Coop will fix 'em has pretty much gone by the boards. Agreed 100%.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 7, 2016 -> 08:45 PM) Not sure what stats say, but the Giants easily have the worst lineup of the 8 playoff teams Would look a lot better with Span, Nunez, and Panik in. 2 guys sat due to a lefty on the mound (dumb) and one guy is injured. Edit: actually, Tomlinson had a good year in a backup role. Makes sense he'd get in against a lefty. Gillaspie and Hernandez however should be on the bench.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 8, 2016 -> 10:22 AM) Lol, Porcello will never make the Red Sox say "nah, don't need Sale" Ever ever ever And I didn't imply that so I don't know why you're responding as such. I just want their starters to get hammered for 4 games. Just tossed his name out because he's likely game 4 starter.

No way Betts is going in a deal.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Oct 8, 2016 -> 08:08 AM) Hopefully Tribe can sweep and Red Sox exit with concerns on their starters. Don't want to see Porcello or Price get a 2nd shot at redemption. Hopefully they get one win but their starter gets hammered. Porcello comes back for game 4 and then also gets hammered again.

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Oct 8, 2016 -> 12:20 AM) Why is a Sale trade being discussed in a thread about Cespedes opting out of his current contract? A Sale trade would signal a full rebuild and should logically be followed by trading Q, Frazier, Cabrera, Robertson, Abreu...pretty much everyone for whom a decent return could be had except Eaton, Anderson, and Rodon. Meanwhile, signing Cespedes would be a clear signal that the White Sox intend to compete in 2017. This doesn't make sense. Because I tossed out that I hope the Sox don't sign him and instead, Red Sox do to replace Ortiz power/making Benintendi expendable in a deal.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 7, 2016 -> 05:00 PM) I don't know...despite these struggles, nothing about their current trajectory screams "desperate" to me. Boston has a good young core of position players at the MLB level with other coming up (Benintendi, I know hes already up and Moncada). This is why I think a deal for a controllable starter makes sense from their stand point. And its not like its for some guy. It's Sale.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 7, 2016 -> 04:38 PM) Price with yet another disappointing performance in the post season. Doesn't augur well for Kershaw. For those hoping Dombrowski would come under pressure to make another big move, events are breaking on cue. Somewhere, Rick Hahn is grinning from ear to ear.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Oct 7, 2016 -> 10:19 AM) They've played it during every passing period in my school today. It's so annoying. I purposely wore a Sox shirt today to piss people off. When I was in High School, that Go Go Sox song would be on during passing periods when the Sox were in the playoffs in 05 so it's fair. They're both equally terrible songs anyway.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Oct 7, 2016 -> 12:42 PM) I can't believe they are playing at Wrigley at 8 PM They've played night games on a weekend before you know. National television games like this one will be.

I hope the Red Sox sign him. Gotta replace the power somewhere. Or sign Desmond or Reddick. Then they deal us Benintendi in a deal to strengthen their rotation.

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Oct 7, 2016 -> 06:37 AM) My friends and coworkers that are Cubs fans think I'm nuts for calling tonight's game a must win for the Cubs but this series does not set up well for the Cubs if they drop tonight's game. Plus, I've got $100 at 10:1 on the Giants to win the pennant so go Giants! I was literally just in Vegas this past weekend. I'm kicking myself I didn't put money on them.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 7, 2016 -> 02:34 AM) I'm seeing more of a mix. Casual Cubs fans = calling a sweep Ones that watch baseball = realize it's the nightmare scenario Yep. This is what I've been seeing. All of my friends are nervous.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Oct 7, 2016 -> 07:11 AM) Can the mods open that gigantic Cespedes thread again? I want to see how many more posts we can add to it, lol. Let's try to beat it with this thread!

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Oct 7, 2016 -> 01:03 AM) I'm rooting for Cleveland in this series. I want the Boston starters to get s*** on and force them to give in for whatever we demand of Sale/Q this offseason. Exactly what I'm thinking.

Shoulda signed him last year.

Erik Johnson is having TJ surgery.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 6, 2016 -> 03:01 PM) man f*** cleveland Screw that. I want Boston's starters to get s*** on.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Oct 6, 2016 -> 04:22 PM) I don't believe he would have a draft pick attached to him if he chooses to opt out. I don't think that makes him eligible for a QO. This is wrong. He would. See Gordon, Alex.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Oct 6, 2016 -> 12:28 PM) I'd rather have Moore start Game 2 and have Guppy ready in the bullpen. I'd rather have Samardzija pitching at home than Wrigley.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Oct 6, 2016 -> 01:03 AM) Benintend I'm pretty sure will be a stud. My only concern with him is how prone to injury he could be. Moncada has at least another year of development ahead of him so I'm less sure how he will pan out but he's immensely talented. I wanted JB Jr when his stock was low because he was always a great defender but now that he has "arrived" his ceiling isn't that high as a hitter.Still, loving great defense like I do it would be fine getting him instead of Moncada . However he has 3 years till free agency and I'd prefer 4 minimum. Why is he potentially injury prone? Guy has one freak accident collission and now hes injury prone?

He looked very uncomfortable during post-game interview. Probably a bunch of awkward post-game hugs from teammates as well lol

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 5, 2016 -> 11:52 PM) He wouldn't last five innings. Cubs would bash Samarjia. They just did like a month ago.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Oct 5, 2016 -> 11:12 AM) If a rebuild is coming, get rid of Q and Sale, no sense of keeping 1 or the other What if they deal one for huge haul and no one else offers the same for the other? Keep one if you don't get 2 huge offers.

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Oct 4, 2016 -> 04:47 PM) LOL Excellent. Beautiful response. This board has bow gianed so much knowledge from your response.
