December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 03:25 PM) As of today, we started our rebuild two years after the Cubs, and we are about 2 years ahead of them in terms of where our talent is at, as our top rated guys are here today. I like Rick Hahn.
December 10, 201312 yr Is having every rotation spot set a concern for this team right now? If so then 2014 is the goal, but I dont think that's the case. This is built like a 2015 onward thing right now.

I would rather sign a vet 2014 is the kind of season where you roll with a few question marks to see what you've got. You can always invest later, but there are only certain times where you can try to see if lightning strikes for you.
December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 11:07 AM) Quick scouting report from 2012 (at that point listed as a 4th outfielder ceiling): Relative Risk: Low. Big league ready with very good approach and grinder mentality. you had me at "grindy". I like this trade a lot. Very good cost controlled player for a while and fills a nice slot. Eaton was one of the DBags better specs a few years back and had him slotted to open in CF last year...but can be moved all over.

December 10, 201312 yr Gammons said this guy was a ROY lock before his injury last year. Sox were looking for a CF'er and got him. Now 3B and C.
December 10, 201312 yr Doug Padilla @ESPNChiSox 11m CWS, LAA and AZ expected to announce trade in winter meetings media center, but MLB managers are using it til 5:30 p.m. EST.

I still dont think they are going to do anything with Catcher, I think two more vet bats in the MI and maybe 3B

December 10, 201312 yr Eaton is a nice pick up. Thought the sox could have gotten another prospect to go with Eaton for hector but oh well.
December 10, 201312 yr I'm fine with the Santiago for Eaton idea but what I'm not fine with is management's idea that this is our big move. (KW said this will definitely excite fans)
December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 04:49 PM) I'm fine with the Santiago for Eaton idea but what I'm not fine with is management's idea that this is our big move. (KW said this will definitely excite fans) We've made a big move, in fact, you're our big move.

(KW said this will definitely excite fans) Maybe he meant exciting as in something is happening, not that it was huge move. In fact I believe he corrected someone when they said a big move was coming, to say it was exciting, not big.
December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 03:51 PM) We've made a big move, in fact, you're our big move. *tears up* Thank you. But I meant to say trade. I would've liked this if we got Kendrick AND Eaton (would've had to give up someone else obviously)
December 10, 201312 yr Daryl Van Schouwen @CST_soxvan 3m #whitesox also give up player to be named or cash considerations in addition to Santiago.

(KW said this will definitely excite fans) Agreed with the poster above, you were our big move. Eaton is a complementary piece on a good team and a good building block for this teams future. I think moving forward with Abreu, Garcia, and Eaton at the top of our lineup is something to be very excited about as a Sox fan.

December 10, 201312 yr And for those of you saying that he's immediately part of the Sale/Garcia/Quintana/Me core...
December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 09:00 PM) B>W and I were on the Santiago bandwagon even before the season started Yep. I have to say I'm happy for Santiago himself that he is out of the Sox organization as I'm sure he secretly is. Coolest athlete ever who certainly better than the Sox. But I'm selfish and wanted him here.
