Eaton is a pain in the neck, but he wants to win. There are a lot of guys in this clubhouse who will keep him in line. The fact is he's on a one year deal. He'll probably be on his best behavior to keep his career going any way.

I'd like Colome back as well as Hand. Hendrick has been good and bad in his career.

Rick Reuschel, Mickey Lolich, Wilbur Wood, Tim Lincicum. Which one got hurt?

BADA BING!

Does this mean we're keeping Stiever for the near future?

Earl Weaver is spinning in his grave right now.

This trade will be better if we sign 2-3 FA's. Joc, Odorizzi and Colome.

My brother moved to NC a while ago. Did you grow up in Aurora?

that's because he can't trade with the White Sox.

He pitched 1100+ innings in three years and his numbers went down a bit in 74-75. His busted knee cap ruined his career. I wonder what would have happened in 1977 if Ron Leflore had hit that ball 6 inches to the left. The Royals were really good though.

Had arguably the best year any WS player has ever had. I was watching on TV the day he hit 2 inside the park homers in one game. He and Wilbur Wood were the sports idols of my childhood. RIP.

Ty Cobb didn't make better players sit so he could chase a record. Just to be clear, PR career OBP .375 SP .409 Average defender. Played rotten defense at 3rd. His skill was durability. IMHO .784OPS and average defense doesn't compute to super star. If Rickey Henderson was on the 1970's Reds instead of PR,they would have won 4-5 titles.

couldn't agree more. if madrigal is half as good as LW i'd be thrilled.

How do you spell weinerymers?

A lot of god posts here. Bonds and Clemens Were first ballot guys until they got greedy. The fact that they are both assholes will keep them out for a long time. Buehrle sure has a high WAR. He's way more deserving than Baines was. The one guy who puzzles me with a high WAR is Pete Rose. To me he was a really good player, but not great. His last 1,200 hits came at the expense of better players sitting on the bench. Also his MVP and gold glove awards are almost comical. Hell, he wasn't even the best player on his own team his MVP season. Just one mans opinion.

Some one has to pay for TLR"s chauffer.

Is this true? The Sox were purchased for 12 million in 1980. JR only plunked down 500,000?

TLR may or may not be a racist. It's well known he is a douche bag.

WSox spent 4.3 million for 5 WAR at the toughest role to fill in baseball. One of the best FA signings in a long time. That's why some people speak so highly about James McCann. Count me as one who will miss him when he's gone. I honestly don't knw if he will continue that pace, or regress to the mean. JM definitely hits to right a lot more now than when he was a tiger though.

short, concise and accurate.

what kind of money would JocP command? Seems like if he plays less, he becomes worse. Dump Mazara for Joc and play Engel late in games. If Pederson got 500 pa's in our park, he might hit 30 homers. He walks enough to keep his OBA in the .330's as well. might be worth 3 yr.x8.

A few years ago I saw Machado hit his 3 dingers in 3 innings from behind 1st base. Up until now it was my worst day for being a Sox fan.

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Rick Hahn made a string of moves in the last 3 years that look very good. His next move should be to resign from the White Sox. If he wants to stay in baseball, I'm sure he would have many opportunities. Being overruled by JR can't be fun. Before that it seemed he would be overruled by KW. The 2 times I remember are the Semien ,Bassitt trade(kids for vet) and the Shields fiasco(kid for vet). Both looked like KW moves to me.

not for a second
