December 16, 201411 yr just got back from this. robertson's girl might be the best addition to this team of them all.
December 16, 201411 yr QUOTE (kev211 @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 04:47 PM) Is there a full video of this somewhere? CSN has clips as far as I can tell. http://www.csnchicago.com/white-sox
December 16, 201411 yr Bruce Levine @MLBBruceLevine 35m35 minutes ago White Sox have sold hundreds of new season ticket packages since the Jeff Samardziija last week . Could go into the thousands soon .
December 16, 201411 yr Don't stop now boys! Stay in the headlines until we reach the thousands. We need as many season ticket holders as we can get.
December 17, 201411 yr Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but Samadzija seems pretty damn pumped to be on the White Sox. He's also quite loquacious.

I've never seen interviews with him but the short clip of him talking about the difference between the CUbs and Sox fans made me like him. He seems giddy to be with us. I dont know

December 17, 201411 yr http://m.mlb.com/news/article/104180786/wh...news-conference Reading this article, I really wonder what KW's unpopular strategy would have been?
December 17, 201411 yr https://twitter.com/drob30/status/545033162959880192 Seeing this tweet from Robertson is awesome. He also seems genuinely happy to be here.
December 17, 201411 yr QUOTE (daggins @ Dec 17, 2014 -> 04:24 AM) Probably a Sale or Q trade. I was thinking it was trading Alexei for prospects to cut payroll.

He also seems genuinely happy to be here. I think he's the most I'm excited for, love how he said in the presser that he looks forward to being able to help guys out if he sees something. He seems like he's going to be a real leader in the bullpen, something the Sox did not have last year by the looks of it.
December 17, 201411 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 10:28 PM) I was thinking it was trading Alexei for prospects to cut payroll. Maybe, although that isn't really too drastic considering it was being discussed up until the Winter Meetings.
December 17, 201411 yr Why would KWs method of cutting payroll involve getting rid of Q or Sale? They're both cheap.
December 17, 201411 yr QUOTE (kev211 @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 09:33 PM) Why would KWs method of cutting payroll involve getting rid of Q or Sale? They're both cheap. Package one of them with Danks? That would be drastic and free payroll up.
December 17, 201411 yr QUOTE (kev211 @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 10:33 PM) Why would KWs method of cutting payroll involve getting rid of Q or Sale? They're both cheap. Not cutting payroll, but filling the LF hole, and possibly others, with good talent at affordable rates.
December 17, 201411 yr Actually re-reading, he mentions getting "creative" which probably means trading Danks and eating a lot of his salary, or taking on another bad contract. Maybe a Carl Crawford trade?
December 17, 201411 yr QUOTE (Knuckles @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 02:46 PM) Anyone else sporting a chubby? Must be the PEDs that seems to be what everyone is worrying about.

Maybe a Carl Crawford trade? Why would they take Crawford if they just paid $14M per year for Melky?
December 17, 201411 yr QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Dec 17, 2014 -> 04:49 AM) Why would they take Crawford if they just paid $14M per year for Melky? This was KW's possible plan before the Melky signing. The article said it's a moot point now.

December 17, 201411 yr The more I see Rick Hahn talk, the more I think he'd make a great airline pilot. He's got the right vocal tone, pauses, and "uh" to not only tell us about our recent acquisitions, but also let us know that we've been cleared for takeoff should be up in the air in in 5 minutes.
December 17, 201411 yr Well one thing for sure. The way that Hahn talked about JR stretching th payroll for Melky, I think we can finally put all the Scherzer discussions to rest. Just hope like heck that SOMEONE in the national league picks him up, and NOT resign with Detroit. What I cant figure out is, if payroll was already being stretched, then why was there a report of us talking with Scherzer, if there is no point or reality in signing him?
