QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 05:45 PM) It's be reported that Rowand is talking to the Sox. NO! Not needed at all.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 02:23 PM) Rumors out there that Illinois may land Kevin Sumlin as its next head coach. If Thomas is able to hire Sumlin and somehow keep Koenning on the staff as DC I will be elated. Sumlin not much of a recruiter is my only issue, but at this point Sumlin with VK staying is best case scenerio.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 04:09 PM) Who has him ranked as a Top 50 prospect? I've seen that referenced a few times now. Here is one opinion. http://seedlingstostars.com/2011/11/24/the...-nestor-molina/

Molina has had 5 years in the minors and has only 5 games at the AA level. It took him 4 and a half years to get out of A ball.

QUOTE (spiderman @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 02:06 PM) Chicago Tribune Scouting Report This report is less than flattering - basically says the Sox over overrating this guy because the guy they got from Toronto likes him, and that he projects as a back of the rotation starter. This gets worse by the minute!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 02:02 PM) Now everyone ought to know that is a smokescreen until proven otherwise. We shall see.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 02:03 PM) Agree on all counts. The only problem I have is the man in charge of the rebuilding plan. KW has lost all benefit of doubt and should be the next one out the door if the prospects he acquires fail to show progress. Unfortunately, a rebuilding period probably buys KW at least another two years before Reiny considers replacing him. KW should of already be gone.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 01:57 PM) I am amazed (but not really) at the stupidity of this fan base. We have an inability to think logically about something. Instead, we overreact with the first thought that comes to our head. What's the LAST thing a rebuilding team needs? A closer. What's the first thing a rebuilding team needs? Pitching prospects. I feel sorry for KW because it is impossible to win with these fans. He guys and buys, and we b**** about not having a system. He sells and builds the system, and we b**** about moving our MLB pieces. PICK ONE! You feel sorry for KW, he created this FN mess.

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 01:55 PM) Uhhhh, wanna bet? KW claims with Thornton, Crain and Reed he could trade Santos, sounds like KW not trading him now to me.

Thornton is not going anywhere now.

Anyone can rip me If you want I have ZERO confidence in KW. Let's trade Danks for nothing also. I am extremely pissed.

ESPN winter meeting special it is sad to see for Sox all it says is shed payroll through trades, that gets people excited for 2012! KW will be fleeced again!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 5, 2011 -> 03:52 PM) Jay Cowley tweeted earlier today that Florida and the Sox had been talking FWIW. Olney for Cooper!

The Yankees like Danks, tweets SI's Jon Heyman, but they're unwilling to meet Chicago's request of top prospects Manny Banuelos and Jesus Montero. In fact, Heyman says the Yankees wouldn't trade either for Danks I guess Sox are suppose to give Danks away for free!

Santo with the sympathy vote, way too many Cub players from a team that won nothing...............Minoso should of got in.

Morrison done with WWE contract has run out!

Alabama can win NC but not a Division or SEC title.................Pure nonsense...........They made sure the Big Ten in 2006 did not have a rematch!

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Dec 3, 2011 -> 06:32 PM) Bowl games for 6-6 (or 6-7) teams is ridiculous. As Herbstreit said, it's little league and everyone gets a trophy. It's become ridiculous how many games there are. I like how Conference USA lost 17 million dollars today. Oops. He needs to talk to the network he works for then, because ESPN bids and show alot of Bowl games with teams with 6-6 or 7-6 records. They promote the hell out it with the Bowl Week s***!

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Dec 2, 2011 -> 04:19 PM) If the Bears have to rely on McCown then the season is over... but I agree McNabb is also done. McNabb is 100% toast...............................I like the EB signing.

I think GB numbers will improve slightly, getting away from Walker cannot hurt.............GB will never be the player alot of us thought he would become coming out of college!

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Dec 1, 2011 -> 12:06 AM) do you trust ken williams with this decision? i don't. No not 1%.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 30, 2011 -> 05:42 PM) I love hindsight. Not hindsight family has been a season ticket holder since 1981.....................Turner and Zook both ran clean vanilla programs for the most part.............Illini need to get someone that will excite fanbase and a buzz in recruiting. Time to hit the homerun for once!

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Nov 30, 2011 -> 01:06 AM) The more I think about it, the more I would be a fan of Mike Leach getting a look from Illinois. I hope he gets a look, but Illinois will hire someone vanilla again IMO!

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 29, 2011 -> 10:45 PM) illinois needs to start going through Leonard for open outside shots. His touches need to go up bigtime.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Nov 29, 2011 -> 11:07 AM) Suh has been suspended 2 games without pay. Good make it 4.
