QUOTE (Boogua @ Jan 15, 2017 -> 05:29 PM) Them not going back to Romo probably cost them a shot at the Super Bowl. Their defense getting completely torched is costing them a chance at the title.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 13, 2017 -> 11:39 AM) If he resigns, it doesn't count in the bet. Michigan ain't firing Beilein. I can't even watch them. Hand off, ball screen, dribble around arc. You are complaining about the wrong thing with respect to Beilein. He is a fantastic offensive coach and Michigan is damn good offensively this year despite not being loaded with talent. Defensively they are a complete disaster and they have pretty much never been good on that end during Beilein's tenure.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jan 12, 2017 -> 01:01 PM) http://dawindycity.com/2017/01/12/chicago-...x-three-trades/ What do you guys think about these proposals? Sox Asking price for Quintana is currently "3 Elite Prospects" = Yankees: Frazier (OF), Torres (SS), and Judge (OF) Pirates: Glasnow (RHP), Meadows (OF), and Diaz © Astros: Reed (1B), Martes (RHP), and Tucker (OF) Rockies: Rodgers (SS/2B), Jeff Hoffman (RHP), and Tapia (OF) Todd Frazier Athletics: Holmes (RHP) and Chapman (3B) Braves: Sean Newcomb (LHP) and Kolby Allard (LHP) I don't see either of these deals as being realistic for one season of Frazier Abreu to the Rockies Rockies: Riley Pint (RHP) and Tom Murphy © I don't love that deal for the White Sox. Thoughts? Those proposed Frazier deals are insanity. You would be lucky to get 1 top 100 prospect for him. You sure as hell aren't getting 2.

So on Clemson's first and goal play with 6 seconds left why not instruct all of your defensive players to just hold and tackle the wide receivers and then make them either go for the win or kick the FG on one final play?

Lane Kiffin's play calling has been laughably bad in this game. Feed Scarborough dumbass. Reminds me of the game against OSU two years ago where he cost Bama the game by not giving it to Henry enough with the difference being that OSU team was way better offensively than this Washington team.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 12:29 PM) Am I wrong for strongly prefering the Pirates prospects? I don't like the Cardinals at all as a fit here. I prefer Meadows to anyone the Cubs have but the Cubs could actually put together a very good package for Q but I would need both Happ and Jimenez in that deal as a starting point.

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 11:30 AM) I'd throw Lopez in that "ace ceiling" mix as well, which is all the more reason to go for a Meadows and Bell centric package from Pittsburgh. That said, Meadows and Glasnow would be nice as well, abs of the Sox end up with the "problem" of having too much good pitching, we see what Sale brought and what Q is likely to bring. You almost definitely aren't getting Meadows and Glasnow or Meadows and Bell. I think a realistic package that makes a ton of sense for both teams is Meadows, Newman, Keller and a lotto ticket coming back the White Sox way.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Dec 15, 2016 -> 06:04 AM) It's not that dark or gritty, I would take my kid to see it but you should check it out first. I agree. It definitely has a war feel to it and its more gritty than the other Star Wars films but there is nothing worse in this than seeing beloved characters get killed off or ROTS. I saw it with my cousin's kids who are 10 and 12 yesterday and they both loved it. I'm sure there might be some kids where a couple scenes might be too intense but I think that will be the exception to the rule.

I really enjoyed Rogue One. It took a bit to get going but the third act is fantastic, particularly the last 5 minutes..

Yep, absolutely and I don't find it difficult when losing is the best thing long term for the team I'm a fan of.

Review so far are not at A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back or Force Awakens level but they are very good so far. So those who freaked out about the reshoots signalling the film would be bad can rest easy.

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Dec 12, 2016 -> 03:57 PM) Not sure about this but possibly the Yankees if they deal Headley somehow before Frazier is traded or the Mets as insurance for David Wright.Bith teams have other options obviously, The Mets or Yanks would welcome the NJ native and Todd would like to play out East, I think. He's a great guy and I'd be sorry to lose his presence on the team, but nt that Hahn os blowing it up, it would be best for him as well as the team to trade him. Same with Robertson and Melky. I would love to package Shields in any trade. Just get rid of him somehow some way. Why on Earth would you want to reduce anyone's return by packaging Shields with them? Let Shields suck here for the next two years while eating some innings since the team is going to suck anyways.

The Marlins are so stupid. Giving up a first round pick to sign a closer when you have no starting pitching and a mediocre at best lineup is so foolish.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 11:27 PM) I'd be surprised if Nate Jones has the value that we think he does. I think he's one of those guys that's way more valuable to us than other teams and will be our closer this year. I'd have to think he could fetch a package similar to what the Brewers got for Thornburg and that would be a really nice return for the Sox. If they can get something similar I would move him.

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 06:50 PM) Need position players including outfielders, Right now 2017 outfield is Melky/Shuck/Avi G. Who cares about the 2017 outfield. And Melky will hopefully be moved for the best package possible as well.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 05:50 PM) Trading Sale & Q, we had no pitching. You can't just do the exact opposite. What you need is an infusion of talent and RH just got three guys in this trade who all profile as major leaguers, two of which profile as potential front of the rotation guys and the other could be a starter or a closer. That is fantastic. Oh and again, this is just one move...nothing is done yet and they also will have money to add. Yep, and I bet the centerpiece to the inevitable Quintana deal will be a top position player.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 05:12 PM) Robertson, Jones, and Frazier can bring something back too. Not anything top 50, but something. Yep, look at what Tyler Thornburg got the Brewers yesterday. A guy who was a decent major leaguer and two solid prospects. Jones could potentially bring back something similar.

QUOTE (Soxnfins @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 05:01 PM) Would be so sweet if STL comes in and snatches him up with a deal including Kolten Wong. Someone being used as leverage besides us for once. I would lol hard if it happened twice. Wong would be a horrendous centerpiece to a deal involving Eaton.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 09:12 PM) I figure it really doesn't matter during this rebuild. I fully expect an uninspiring stopgap. Wellington Castillo would be a nice grab though. Hope he rebuilds some value, and flip him at the deadline. During the rebuild we should prioritizing a catcher that pitchers like throwing to as you try to develop young arms.

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 10:07 AM) Would anyone do Q for Clint Frazier & Torres? Yes, Torres is going to be a top 5 prospect in baseball. I really don't think the Yankees will be selling their farm right now though.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 05:52 PM) Or acquire extra money to go all in on Otani next winter. I doubt Otani comes over if the cap applies to him which it sounds like he will. I bet he waits till he is 25 to come over and then signs a multi hundred million dollar deal.

QUOTE (Sockin @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 02:54 PM) Red Sox are paying all of the money left on Moncada's deal. $31.5 mil. I absolutely hate this if it cost the Sox additional prospects coming back.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 02:44 PM) Verdugo/Calhoun and Alvarez? You aren't getting 2 top 100 prospects for a year of a declining Frazier.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 02:06 PM) Wouldn't mind moving Frazier for Devers now. Literally zero chance that the Red Sox would do that.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 01:48 PM) Would've rather taken Moncada/Devers/Groome over Moncada/Kopech/Basabe/Diaz That's nice. And I'm sure if the Sox could have gotten that they would have too.
