January 19, 201610 yr QUOTE (Sockin @ Jan 18, 2016 -> 08:35 PM) 6-yr deal Does it have the word "regret" written all over it?
January 19, 201610 yr Author QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 18, 2016 -> 08:35 PM) Free agency has really sucked as a Sox fan so far Well it's essentially been non existent for them
January 19, 201610 yr Well Tigers will be tougher the next two years but after that they're completely f***ed.

January 19, 201610 yr QUOTE (Saufley @ Jan 18, 2016 -> 08:39 PM) Don't give up. Remember this is only going to be year two of the three year rebuild. We still have time. The free agent crop for the next two years is absolute crap. Edited January 19, 201610 yr by Sockin
January 19, 201610 yr QUOTE (Sockin @ Jan 18, 2016 -> 08:39 PM) It's not that much different than the lineup they put up last year. But it is with a further developed Castellanos/McCann/Iglesias. Also, the big names from lineup last year were injured for, well, the whole year.
January 19, 201610 yr QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jan 18, 2016 -> 08:39 PM) When did Frazier suddenly become something to sneeze at? When we literally had 80% of our position players with negative WAR last year? Frazier is awesome, but not nearly enough to get us where we need to be by himself, especially not in the AL Central where every other team has a chance.
January 19, 201610 yr QUOTE (Sockin @ Jan 18, 2016 -> 08:40 PM) The free agent crop for the next two years is absolute crap. I was joking!!
January 19, 201610 yr QUOTE (Sockin @ Jan 18, 2016 -> 09:39 PM) It's not that much different than the lineup they put up last year. Well that "Upton" guy is better and that "Cabrera" guy is pretty good if he's there for the full year. That's something. It would definitely look a lot better if they could say with confidence that Victor Martinez at age 37 would be closer to his age 34 season than his age 36 season. It also helps that Verlander might have found a legit groove in the 2nd half last year. That said, I still wouldn't call them favorites in the Central or for either of the WC slots. They could have a shot at both, but they still need a lot of stuff to go right.

January 19, 201610 yr QUOTE (Dunt @ Jan 18, 2016 -> 08:41 PM) Your 4th or 5th place Chicago White Sox ladies and gentlemen. Another year of Chris Sale's prime wasted and another year of cheering for losses in the final 2 months of the season. Can't wait!
