I would cry tears of joy if Hahn ended the offseason by getting Cespedes and Gerardo Parra.

The only reason why I don't like this forum is because people b**** and moan about literally EVERYTHING!!! Can we let the season happen first and then come to a conclusion? Please?

It would be amazing if the Sox got Upton/Cespedes, dumped LaRoche, moved Melky to DH and signed a guy like Gerardo Parra to play left field. That would be awesome.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 12:37 PM) Was already planning on that. At least this year when they're below .500 I won't be nearly as annoyed, I just won't care. Why are you on this forum (let alone an admin) if you're dissatisfied and angry with every move the Sox make? Why not be optimistic?

Greensox and Alexeihyeess would find a reason to complain if they found a million dollars on the ground.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 12:23 PM) Hate this deal for a lot of reasons. 1. Avi - Eaton - Melky OF is all but confirmed. Another year of negative WAR from both corners really make acquiring Lawrie and Frazier pointless. The only internal option that maybe makes a splash just got traded for... 2. The next player to come to the White Sox and collapse. Frazier is about to cross the 30 barrier and look at his 2nd half splits last year. Look at how bad he was. Hard time seeing him turning it around, especially with the Sox track record of aging sluggers. 3. We gave up 3 dynamic players. Thompson is a great defender, Micah has that speed, Montas has the big fastball. These guys were all set to the contribute in different, meaningful ways and instead the Sox dealt them for the same exact kind of player we've seen every offseason since 2005. Please stop raining on our parade. Thanks.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 12:03 PM) Its going to be Saladino/Frazier and Lawrie so I dont understand the question. I think he meant if Saladino would've been the full time third baseman.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 11:59 AM) Lol. This is the White Sox we're talking about. I fully expect Frazier to put up a .210/.280/.350 slash line or something. Career low for him, as is White Sox tradition. That would still be an improvement over last year haha.

Cespedes.

If the Sox don't get another huge power bat, I could see them getting Gerardo Parra to platoon with Avi. He's lefty and a solid defender.

@courtney883 I have also heard from many credible sources that the #WhiteSox are still not done. A move in the outfield could be next.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 11:44 AM) Montas had 20 ks in 15 innings for the White Sox. That doesn't scream lack of deception. He also had a 4.80 ERA.......

QUOTE (aboz56 @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 11:40 AM) Why is everyone sweating Thompson? He played well late last season in meaningless games. Sox sold high. This. It would have been typical for the Sox to have held onto him only for him to turn into another Avi. Hahn sold high. It was the right thing to do.

QUOTE (Real @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 11:33 AM) sox aren't landing cespedes or upton. not a chance. those guys are gonna get over 20m/year easily. So? LaRoche and Danks come off the books next year. They'll have money to spend.

Please get Alexei and Cespedes now. PLEASE.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 11:21 AM) Not hearing anything about Ethier. It needs to be Justin Upton patrolling the RF. I'd prefer Cespedes.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 11:17 AM) Micah and Trace to Dodgers Where did you see this?

HOLY f***ING s***CAKES!

Lol wow. Sox got hosed.

Joc would be awesome too.

I'm betting that it's Montas for Puig.

QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 15, 2015 -> 06:53 PM) Has anyone seen Fielder play defense? No thank you...no...no..nooooo I'd have to assume that he'd be the DH.

Why would Texas make that deal for anything other than salary relief?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 15, 2015 -> 05:03 PM) True, but Sports Mockery is terrible. They once cited me as a source for a Bears rumor. They've cited other posters on here as well. Seriously? Lol wow.
