December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (heirdog @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 12:41 AM) 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. Except the main way that happens is the White Sox fail to live up to expectations and they have to peddle Samardzija, LaRoche, Duke and Robertson...along with Alexei and Danks. That's about the last thing that we should want to happen. There's a big difference between dumping DeAza/Beckham/Dunn/Viciedo and having to sell off one of our new core pieces six or seven months down the line.
December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 12:44 AM) Are they really not going to announce the details tonight? Could be waiting to tell the players. Obviously shark had a good idea he was going but good chance the other 3 are in bed with no idea. Edited December 9, 201411 yr by Buehrle>Wood
December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 12:43 AM) This is about to get even more crazy once Lester signs. Latest is either 6 or 7 years. Is not looking at the highest AAV or total dollars but where he feels most comfortable (supposedly).

There's a big difference between dumping DeAza/Beckham/Dunn/Viciedo and having to sell off one of our new core pieces six or seven months down the line. I think we are kinda saying the same thing. My point is we give up some talent to improve our staff. If gamble fails, we can sell Shark and probably get even better talent back.
December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 12:46 AM) I guess they couldnt not talk about the Yankees for a few minutes Betances as closer, as expected. If the White Sox already had that guy, they would have been crazy to add a closer for that money, too.

Obviously shark had a good idea he was going but good chance the other 3 are in bed with no idea. It's just strange because Nightengale implied the deal had basically been agreed to days ago. Seems like there should have been plenty of time to tell these guys a deal was going down. I'm still guessing Beane needs to clear a roster spot before the trade can be official.
December 9, 201411 yr And Garcia is essentially an addition for next year, if you believe in him. (Plus a full year of Tyler's magic glasses)
December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 12:50 AM) Put your sack on the table Hahn, sign Scherzer!!! That would be unfair

Heyman actually said this whole talk about the white sox well and good but let's not forget how it effects the yankees. Sorry it was joel sherman who said that not Heyman.

December 9, 201411 yr PS: If you all don't realize it, you all rock. Soxtalk.com has 2161 combined posts (probably more by the time I hit submit) vs. the 2nd largest Sox site, WSI, which has 69 posts between the Shark and Robertson signing. As Hawk would say...Soxtalk.com and its awesome members....YESSSSSSSS!!!!
