December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (Tmar @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 07:36 AM) Anybody know what position this smarja is going to play? WR with Marshall out
December 9, 201411 yr I'm very excited for 2015 until I remember who will be managing all of this talent.
December 9, 201411 yr I know everyone is down on Thompson but he still is young and has a ton of upside. I think Semien has a very high floor. That's a lot to give for a rental IMO.
December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 12:35 AM) Holy s*** I forgot all about Nate. If Jones comes back strong, that bullpen will have Robertson, Jones, Duke, Putnam, Petricka. Then a LOOGY and Bassitt/Noesi. Like. Guerra, and perhaps Webb or Sanburn might play a role as well.
December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 10:37 PM) Keep in mind too, with Sale and Q locked in to awesome deals, it's easier to stomach higher priced FA deals... Plus you have Abreu at a fair deal and Eaton is also a very good contract as well. I really wonder if we can find a way to move Danksy.

December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 12:38 AM) I'm very excited for 2015 until I remember who will be managing all of this talent. Balta and the rest of Soxtalk get their wish. A fair opportunity to judge Ventura when the team's expected to compete right out of the gate.

We also have some sizable salaries coming off the books in the next two years between Danks, Alexei, & LaRoche ($40M), plus the corpse of Jeff Keppinger should finally be gone after this season.

That's a lot to give for a rental IMO. He's just not the type of player the Sox are able to develop. He really struggled repeating AA again. I wish him the best though.

That's a lot to give for a rental IMO. You can get some top 10 prospects from another team at the deadline which by virtue of the Sox system would make the haul better than what they just gave up.

I really wonder if we can find a way to move Danksy. KW and Hahn will be kings of Chicago if they could manage to bring Kemp on board. Much more likely to end up with Crawford or Ethier, of course...with the problem being that Noesi and Bassitt would have to hold the fort down for at least 2-3 months until Rodon arrives on the scene.
December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 10:43 PM) Dan Hayes has gotten much better on TV. Spoke confidently and competently for a national viewing. He has done a fantastic job today. Looks very comfortable on the roundtable right now.

December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 12:43 AM) Dan Hayes has gotten much better on TV. Spoke confidently and competently for a national viewing. That's the most shocking news yet
December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 12:43 AM) This is about to get even more crazy once Lester signs. Very happy we got this done before Lester decided tomorrow.
December 9, 201411 yr I enjoy Dan. I'm sure he enjoyed sitting by while these other doofs talk about other teams.
December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 12:40 AM) Jones isn't supposed to be back until August And he won't be nearly the same yet after comming back. 2016 is when he'll probably be Nate again.
December 9, 201411 yr Looks like Saxon fell for fake report also. Doesn't look like he knows if Trayce was included
December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 12:25 AM) I've said it many times here. Frank was the reason I became a sox fan. Griffey Jr. was the reason I played baseball (CF, left handed, etc.) I'm super jealous of you right now. I was so shell shocked. It wasn't like I saw him from far away. He was standing directly in front of me, but his back was to me. Then he turned around and that's when it hit me that it wasn't just some dude boarding the plane right in front of me... it was Ken f***ing Griffey. We made some small talk as we waited to board and then he sat down in First Class and I kept moving to my seat. Sorry, I'm done. Didn't mean to hijack this thread.

At this point, Ethier looks better and better to me.
