For $5 million, I hope the Sox got him. Worst case scenario is that he becomes a Tsuyoshi Nishioka type of player, the best case scenario is that he becomes like Iguchi. It's worth a shot.

If he's that big of a Sox fan, do you think that makes him sign an extension to stay here long term? I heard he wants to be a free agent, but maybe Hahn can woo him to stay.

Now that the Wil Myers deal is almost certain to happen, do you think the Rays trade Longo as well? He would fit perfectly on the Sox. I'd love to see a trade happen, but I would hate to see Rodon/Quintana/Anderson leave. What do you guys think? Sox Sider: WHITE SOX TO GO AFTER EVAN LONGORIA?

I'd like any one of Yoervis Medina, Dominic Leone, or Tom Wilhelmsen in exchange for Viciedo.

This might sound crazy, but does anyone think a reunion with Gordon Beckham is possible? At the very least, he plays great defense and could be a utility guy.

He can backup pretty much any spot necessary (third base, second base, outfield). I don't know how much he wants, but I'd love to see Hahn pick him up and call it a day.

Anyone think Emilio Bonfacio would be a good fit on the Sox? He can play almost anywhere.

I don't see the Sox as a World Series contending team as this point, but they are definitely in contention for the division. Detroit didn't get any better and KC won't be as good as they were last year. I see the Sox and KC fighting for 1st place next season.

QUOTE (Whitey @ Dec 15, 2014 -> 06:45 AM) Looking at Houston's depth chart, Dayan would be an upgrade over what they have in LF... How about a package of Dayan, Trayce, and Surkamp? I would hope for a lot more than Castro if those 3 guys went to Houston. I would love a guy like Michael Foltynewicz too.

I say 86-76 with a playoff appearance.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I can't wait for the season to start. What an offseason.

I would buy a Konerko or Frank Thomas one, but that's just me.

Hey guys, I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Mike, and I am a huge White Sox fan. Paul Konerko and Jim Thome are my favorite players. I didn't even know this forum existed until now. Well, I am very happy to be here and talk White Sox baseball with everyone. Thanks for reading and I hope I get to know you guys better.
