QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 1, 2016 -> 04:44 PM) Yeah, they'd be asking for Q or Rodon for Soler. Beck and Fry isn't going to get you much from anyone due to their health issues. Soler is young, but he's a strikeout artist. I don't really think he's worth Q or Rodon.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 1, 2016 -> 04:37 PM) They had been offering him for star pitching last I knew. What about Beck and Fry? That seems like decent amount.

How much would the Cubs want for Soler?

So, today I learned that the Bears played the toughest schedule in the NFL in 2015. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_NFL_draft

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Feb 1, 2016 -> 01:15 PM) I'd possibly be interested in taking over a team. Is the league through ESPN? Yahoo.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 1, 2016 -> 11:18 AM) So they'd be interested in a guy that won't hit the market if he hits the market? Fantastic. Jeffery is getting the franchise tag. I know. I just saw the article. The Bears will franchise him because of his talent, but he's really been lacking recently.

Looking for two owners for the Yahoo Soxtalk Keeper league. 1 hitter, 1 pitcher, 1 wild card. Rosters shown below. Active fantasy players with a history of success preferred.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 1, 2016 -> 09:37 AM) Jeffery won't be a free agent http://espn.go.com/blog/detroit-lions/post...f-lions-targets

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jan 31, 2016 -> 07:01 PM) Not a good year to lose your #1 WR. WR draft class looks booty, and the FA market is meh.....Unless AJ hits the market which he shouldn't. Detroit going to try and sign Alshon away?

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jan 29, 2016 -> 01:18 PM) The reason he got six years instead of eight is that he went for two when it was completely unnecessary.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jan 27, 2016 -> 10:58 PM) I'd be extremely happy if this ended up being the move. Not only are you upgraded the defense slightly, but the offense gets a big boost: Eaton RF Fowler CF Abreu 1B Frazier 3B Cabrera LF LaRoche DH Lawrie 2B Avila/Navarro C Saladino SS I think that's a playoff caliber roster with our pitching I'd almost rather give Coats a chance and just waive Laroche.

Jihad? Who names their child "Jihad?"

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jan 28, 2016 -> 12:37 PM) Shysocks mentioned this in the miscellaneous thread, but I think this deserves it's own thread. These are amazing. https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/692760769218236416 How about a non-Twitter based photo?

QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 26, 2016 -> 04:06 PM) I think it was a Dodger scout that said this kid just flat out CANT play. I know I read it somewhere but I cant find it. Yankees

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 11:58 AM) That's just quite the sales team in general. I'd love to hear Harold's sales pitch. "This is the Chicago White Sox calling, please hold for your special guest operator Harold Baines." "Here's Harold!" "..." "Hello? Harold?" "..." "Hello?" "Buy tickets, please." *Call disconnects*

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 11:53 AM) Avisail Garcia, Don Cooper, Hawk, Ed Farmer, Ron Kittle, Harold Baines comprise phone sales team for #whitesox season tix customers Thurs. https://twitter.com/CST_soxvan/status/690577060436271104 They had to dial the phone for Avi and hand it to him because he kept reaching and flailing at the wrong receiver and missing the keypad entirely.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 08:09 AM) Gardner isn't great, but I wouldn't mind trading for him in the right deal. Gardner's pretty good. 2014: 87 R 142 H 17 HR 58 RBI 21 SB .749 OPS 2015: 94 R 148 H 16 HR 66 RBI 20 SB .742 OPS

QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 03:53 PM) Whats up with that? Someone posted on FB a couple days ago they were eating some deep dish in Cali and said it tastes like Gino's East. Herb

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 02:32 PM) Torches are lit and it appears its only a matter of time before the castle at 35th and Shields is stormed. Film at 11 ! Pfft. Sox fans wouldn't voluntarily go into the park. If they did, the budget would be higher.

If Cespedes has an actual official Twitter account and he chooses to follow the Nationals, it sounds to me like he's going there.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 11:31 AM) Cespedes' agent just followed the Nationals on Twitter That actually means something.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 08:36 AM) Anything to pad the post counts with the hopes of one day getting my own personalized comment like Fathom and Greg got. That whole third base coach moniker is kind of lame. I have a suggestion. "Lowest cumulative star rating of top all-time posters." Kind of like the best shi---est bar lifetime achievement award...well, close to a decade at least. Least favorite poster of Dick Allen, Kyle and Northside would be cool, too. Buddy of The Ultimate Champion and nemesis of Marty34... "Chinese Democracy Now"

I can see Cooper in an '80s-style den, hunched over an old Gateway PC, wearing some drug store reading glasses on a chain while hunting and pecking on the computer.
