October 24, 201312 yr QUOTE (oldsox @ Oct 24, 2013 -> 04:18 PM) What are the dates for teams making the qualifying offer? Looks like 5 days after the WS ends. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/schedule/important_dates.jsp
October 25, 201312 yr I have a nugget on this, trying to figure out how to send out mass PM's. However. I believe this was plan B to Abreu. I've heard next to nothing regarding adding payroll.

Either way, I think Granderson was plan B, and frankly not as talked about as it was in the media. Now I could be shocked and see some activity next week, but right now I'm seeing alot of scouts flying to Chicago. And you wouldnt need those for someone like Granderson.

What would make a lot of scouts fly to Chicago?
October 25, 201312 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 25, 2013 -> 07:56 AM) What would make a lot of scouts fly to Chicago? Deals involving acquiring young players or signing international players is my guess.
October 25, 201312 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 25, 2013 -> 07:56 AM) What would make a lot of scouts fly to Chicago? The fact that it's 1940 I guess

Isn't Granderson from Chicago? Wouldn't be surprised if he still lives here in the offseason. Not that they're like, scouting him on the couch or whatever, lol. I don't know, I guess it doesn't matter.
October 25, 201312 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 25, 2013 -> 07:56 AM) What would make a lot of scouts fly to Chicago? To connect to another city. Teams are going cheap and forcing scouts to make connections instead of flying non-stop.
October 25, 201312 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 25, 2013 -> 07:56 AM) What would make a lot of scouts fly to Chicago? Scouting all of the major league talent in the fall softball leagues.

November 4, 201312 yr Curtis Granderson in Chicago at blackhawks game 2nite shooting puck at 2nd intermission with free agency only 2 days away.. Granderson mite be a whitesox come tuesday or it mite just be wishful thinking on my part Edited November 4, 201312 yr by dayan024
November 4, 201312 yr As long as the contract isn't anywhere near what that bookie said a little bit ago I'm cool with Granderson.

Granderson mite be a whitesox come tuesday or it mite just be wishful thinking on my part I saw that too. I'm hoping it's a sign because he's so much better than Alejandro, but I don't know. To those downgrading him, imagine our 2012 lineup with Abreu and Grandy in it. A gigantic improvement.

To those downgrading him, imagine our 2012 lineup with Abreu and Grandy in it. A gigantic improvement. I think even I would rather have De Aza and his contract than Granderson and his contract. I love Granderson, but I don't want him unless he's signing a 2 yr/$24M deal at the most. He should be a 3+ WAR player, but he had an injured 2013 and his defense, sabr speaking, is all over the place. But a 2 yr deal doesn't really make a difference, so I'd rather not sign him at all.

I'm ok with Granderson getting money but I don't think he's an everyday CF, or at least probably not any more. Maybe for a year. But...I could put up with it if they are able to get good value from De Aza in a trade.

Makes a difference if they're trying to compete those 2 years.

November 4, 201312 yr A 2 yr deal to Granderson could turn into a nice tradeable asset. Exactly the type of the deal the Sox should be looking to do.
November 4, 201312 yr He could be a two year signing that we flip at the trade deadline. We did the same to a certain 2013 World Series winning starter this year.
November 4, 201312 yr QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Nov 3, 2013 -> 10:20 PM) Right, which I why I don't think it makes a difference. Well if bucket is to be believed the Sox do plan on at least attempting to compete the next 2 years.
