QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 29, 2016 -> 12:03 PM) In 2016, I'd much rather have Danks than Buehrle. How about BOTH!? ALL LEFTY ROTATION!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 28, 2016 -> 11:06 AM) IIRC, Kenny Lofton Billy Koch. We were like waiting in line at the hotel when they announced it.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jan 27, 2016 -> 02:42 PM) Lorenzo Cain led all CF in errors last year, and his total was 30% higher than the next guy too. Ian Kinsler is among the leaders in errors at 2B every year. Josh Donaldson has the most errors of any 3B over the last 3 years. Errors need context. Frazier led the NL in errors at 3B last year. Still considered a solid guy on the hot corner. Just more fuel on that fire, hehe.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 27, 2016 -> 09:34 AM) DH Navarro or Saladino against lefties? Why the heck would Saladino DH? His glove is his only redeemable trait.

QUOTE (chisox802 @ Jan 25, 2016 -> 05:25 PM) Hi everyone, first time poster here. I have been following the board for a long time, never posted though. I think the FO is going to look to make another trade before they sign one of the remaining free agents. I live out in Colorado and the consensus out here is that the Rockies are definitely going to try and move one of their outfielders... While this is nothing new, I think this is the best avenue for our sox. I personally don't want anything to do with any of the remaining free agents (for so many reasons). If we could somehow can swing a deal without giving up Anderson or Fulmer, go for it. I know all of this has been mentioned before, but I think one of the Rockies OFers would be a good fit. I know I am going to get killed with the "split stats" debate..... http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/story/colorad...e-rumors-012516 Blackmon is the only one I really like.

QUOTE (SoxSteve @ Jan 25, 2016 -> 04:27 PM) I think we should try to pry Markaikas from Atlanta. I wanted him over Melky last year but he's from Atlanta and wanted to go back home. I think we can get him for Garcia and or some prospects not named, Anderson, Fullmer or Adams. Atlanta is going young and might want to dump the 31 million left on his contract. He has a great on base % and is a upgrade defensively for sure. just a thought. He has no pop at all in his bat. 3 HR in nearly 700 PAs, not gonna cut it. Might as well play Shuck.

Watch Cespedes "DeAndre Jordan" the Nats.

QUOTE (WSkid @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 08:20 AM) Sox are not contenders they are pretenders. Dynamite drop in Monty!

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 02:08 PM) Sale, Anderson, Fulmer, Adams for Harper. Who says no? Does it come with a 10 year $300 mil extension?

QUOTE (staxx @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 01:56 PM) Not at all. No one ever expected or thought we could sign Cespedes this offseason. Getting Frazier and Lawrie has been fantastic along with the C change. Id give it an B+ right now, with a solid A/A+ if Cespy signs. This. The grade gets lower if Avi is still penciled in as the starter in right, but they did a good job filling in some of the gaps we had (specifically at third and catcher)

When are they gonna announce the trade for Podsednik and Dye signing?

QUOTE (glangon @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 06:59 AM) According to my source. The announcement is for a concert at the stadium, my source reckons that Billy Joel will be playing there. And what does the piano man have to report regarding Cespedes?

Watch, he won't come back for 2 hours and watch us shoot eachother

Levine, who pronounces Yoennis name "Sess-Pay-Deez"

Watch him sign with Milwaukee or something random like that.

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Cespedes pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue...

QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 19, 2016 -> 08:58 PM) No offense to you but what a lame article. Give Imrem a break, he's like 90 years old.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 19, 2016 -> 11:10 AM) Please Jackson over Fowler. I don't know that it makes us better, but I know it does not commit us to an outfield of low power for years (i.e., we know we need to upgrade it anyway, no need to commit to a stop gap). I'm with ya. I can understand them going in the other direction though just simply because Fowler might be a little bit safer, even though he'll cost more.

Screw it, do 4 years, higher average than Upton got. 92/4, if that doesn't get it done, call Fowler/Jackson.

Free cuppy coffee for life

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 15, 2016 -> 04:37 PM) "Why would the most enthusiastic Sox player not be at Soxfest?" I wanna go just to hear the unreasonable fan that yells at Hahn for moving Trayce.

QUOTE (Saufley @ Jan 15, 2016 -> 04:29 PM) At Soxfest during the Q & A session with RH, will the first question be "why didn't we sign Cespedes" or _________ Mine will be "How come you couldn't move Danks for Trout!?"

QUOTE (iWin4Ron @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 06:09 PM) 1. They wouldn't, but they'd take him if it meant getting back a very high quality prospect like Anderson. 2. A declining Reyes is still leagues a head of the trash put out by most teams at SS. His salary is a bit high, not sure how to work with that. Domestic violence issue is a non-factor here. We are going for it all. 3. You'd be going for it with Gonzalez, Cespedes, Reyes. Uh, Yeah babyyy. 3b Frazier SS Reyes 2b Lawrie 1b Abreu C who cares OF Gonzalez, Cespedes, Eaton DH Whoevers left Hell yeah You forgot to make that green.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 12:33 PM) Would you rather: Sign Cespedes and then sign Desmond to a 1 year prove it again deal worth 11-13 million, then offer him a QO after this year and recoup that pick for the 17 draft. Sign Cespedes and resign Alexei to a 1 year deal 5-7 million dollar deal. Sign Cespedes and let Saladino be the bridge to Anderson. Thoughts? The first one would obviously be preferable but it's highly unlikely they afford both.
