QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 8, 2017 -> 07:47 AM) Now I remember. Tax savings. Robert signs a deal for $26 Million, Sox get another similar bill for some tax, and now the White Sox biggest concern is Robert's tax return. This tax saving concept sucked from day one. Here is what you do: 1. Pay the tax owed. 2. Move to the US. So, instead, this mega - wealthy 19 year old is hanging around the DR with money coming out of his pockets, dealing with whomever, playing once a week on some sand lot. He predictably hurts himself and goes to the local witch doctor for medical attention. He should be over here getting big league instruction, playing as often as possible, and getting better as quickly as possible. But No. We need to save taxes. What do we do to save taxes in 2018? Keep him in the DR again? Isn't this what crazy people do? Same thing over and over. What did Red Sox do when they signed Moncada to similar deal two years ago? They moved him the the US, put him on the Low A roster, and played him. Tax savings. $26 Mill is not enough. We have to save his taxes, too. I think the purpose for Robert to stay in the DR was to save HIM in taxes not the Sox. Next year his bonus isn't taxable income just his yearly salary, so he can come over.

Late September b-day here. Would've been 17 as a freshman, but I was on an M1 tank in the middle east.

Fastest rebuild EVER!!!!

I can't stand him.

QUOTE (Jimmy3Putt @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 05:58 PM) Over/under 5 games before he's back on the DL. So, the under came in a zero games? Or did he not make it off the DL yet?

I'd commit to 1/3 right now.

Over/under 5 games before he's back on the DL.

Put him on the banner!!!

I wouldn't bring anyone up until June 2018.

just trying to contribute.

Hawk and Wimpy were the soundtrack to my baseball youth.

I'd leave them all down until June of 2018.

How can he possibly have enough money for majority shares of a MLB team?

I'm going to close this window and pretend I never read that.

I want above average team speed and defense across the board. Ideally, most of them would be high OBP players also.

I long for the days when men didn't ask each other "how they feel emotionally."

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 12, 2016 -> 07:25 AM) I think they raised the prices on the cheapest of the cheap. Someone here already said his went down. Probably has something downstairs. I have upper deck reserved. This " increase" will cost me about $14 total for 2 seats with my discount. So about 25 cents a game. They also threw in 2 free games with patio party, and 2 other parties. The bastards. That's BULL$H!T!!! Do you know what I could do with $14??

I'm turning it off and going to bed. Can't watch this s***. It'll be like it never happened if I don't see.

Just think about how sweet the Cubbie tears will taste if they lose. Bwahahahaa

GO CLEVELAND! I don't think I've ever said that before...

It sucks that he's taking his lumps in the majors. By the time he's great he'll be on the Yankees or Red Sox. Should of spent more time down.
