South Side Fireworks Man

3yrs, $90M.

If Melky can be moved to DH, Sands can platoon with Shuck in RF. If not, he can platoon with Laroche at DH/1B.

QUOTE (daggins @ Dec 21, 2015 -> 08:57 PM) screw it, sign Gordon AND Upton This.

I'd love for the Sox to sign Gordon but they would still need to sign/acquire a Right Fielder.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 17, 2015 -> 03:24 PM) I still think Boers and Bernstein is the best radio show in the city. It's weird that it's so Anti-Sox because they have the most Sox fans at their station I believe. Bernstein, Goff, Mully, Laurence, Tannehill are all Sox fans. I think DeFalco is the only Sox fan on 1000. I stopped listening to WSCR years ago and Boers & Bernstein were one of the reasons. I thought they were the absolute worst.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 13, 2015 -> 10:09 PM) Who is the owner of that team? Trump? Jerry Jones or Daniel Snyder? JR's group is the owner and he has brought the franchise to it's current condition. If he wants to fix it, he can by opening the team's wallet and signing the two big bats along with acquiring Frazier for 3B. Whether he's willing or not is another issue. If they truly can't afford it, then it's time the team is sold to someone who can.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 13, 2015 -> 09:37 PM) Dan Hayes on Twitter tonight saying the Sox could be done adding if trade prices don't go down. Absolutely inexcusable if this is true, but I doubt it is. Hahn can't bash our offense like he did last week (after Lawrie) and turn around and do nothing to help it Sign Upton. Sign Cespedes Trade Anderson for Frazier. Legit contender.

If the Sox truly want to contend they have to spend some cash. Sign Upton & Cespedes. Trade Anderson for Frazier. Trade Avi for a bullpen arm Trade LaRoche plus cash for a minor leaguer. Eaton CF Melky DH Upton RF Abreu 1B Cespedes LF Frazier 3B Lawrie 2B Avila/Navarro C Saladino SS

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 07:02 PM) If you trade Anderson to get Frazier. Sox MUST SIGN Upton. Do it.

I hope Juan goes "Profundo" at least once in this World Series. Hopefully a walk-off!

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Oct 23, 2015 -> 06:13 PM) What? Rumors I read were that Robin didn't like him and felt AJ didn't respect him so he didn't want him back.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Oct 23, 2015 -> 05:39 PM) I would welcome AJ Perzynski back to the team. Unfortunately Robin felt threatened by his presence and wouldn't want him back.

I punch my chest and it disappears in the crowd.

Murphy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Time for a slam.

Gotta score this one.

Murphy beats Strop.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 09:24 PM) Pretty sure Contreras went to the Rockies for someone never to be heard from again...just a salary dump. Garcia...??? That was after 2010 when he put up a 4.64 ERA, I want to say nothing. The Sox got a World Series from Garcia and Contreras.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 09:20 PM) He definitely will not be an option as a catcher. I'd say they should keep him at LF, give some more time to learn. Otherwise yeah, may as well trade him to the White Sox I'd like Schwarber on the Sox as DH and emergency Catcher.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 09:10 PM) Too bad we didn't have the 2003 version of Colon or the post medical enhancement version... We got the one in the middle who sucked, same with Garcia and Contreras at the tail end of their careers. We got the best years of Contreras.

Hehhehheh...

Bartolo!!!

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 10:51 PM) What an embarrassment to Chicagoans and Chicago natives in general. An embarrassment to Cubs fans.

Don't the umpires have discretion as to whether the runner would have scored? I thought it was a judgement call for the runners already on base on the ground rule double. At any rate Wrigley Field and the Cubs are a joke.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Oct 19, 2015 -> 10:27 PM) No. I think a good manager vs a bad manager is 3-4 wins tops. Remember an all star player is considered ~5 wins above replacement. No way a manager is more valuable than an all star player. Their salaries alone tell you teams don't value them that high. Otherwise they would be paid better than bench players. Sox won 76 games in '15. Ventura was probably good for -3. Maddon would probably be good for +3. That puts them at 82 wins.
