2012 Cuban signees thread Cespedes/Soler/Concepcion
Eminor3rd replied to southsider2k5's topic in Pale Hose Talk
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 12, 2012 -> 01:35 PM) Then, by that measure, Alejandro DeAza should have an open competition with Lillibridge for the starting job/leadoff role in LF/CF. Because Alej pretty much sucked this winter in 100+ AB's. Not at all. De Aza has a track record of MLB play. Cespedes does not, so if Cespedes sucks or plays in the middle of the pack, then that's the only data we have to go on, so we assume he rates with those players. I'm just saying that comparison is awesome for GMs because they'll know if they have a MLB player or a prospect, and can more accurately value him. -

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jan 12, 2012 -> 11:35 AM) Kevin_Goldstein Kevin Goldstein Multiple reports, originally from @kevcabral , have Yeonis Cespedes joining Aguilas Cibaeñas in the Dominican Winter League. 2 minutes ago Favorite Retweet Reply That's cool news. If he doesn't demolish the DWL, he belongs in the minors. -

Baseball America's Top 10 White Sox Prospects
Eminor3rd replied to striker's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Strange how different this list is than the others we've seen. Also, is it pronounced SIGH-mun Castro or Sih-MOAN Castro? -
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 04:46 PM) Then you don't want to do a Tampa rebuild,. The Tampa 10-year plan is a myth. The first six of those years were under completely different management than the current regime and they royally jacked everything up the whole time. The new FO only took 4-5 years to get where they are now, and they were in horrible shape top to bottom when they began.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 02:38 PM) So what happens if Dunn and Rios are good next year and you've traded everything else around them? You have to give them a shot at turning it around under the new coaches. Then we add at the deadline using our newly acquired prospects. "What if our bad team plays well?" Then great! But only a fool would operate and plan on the assumtion of that happening. Look, in an ideal world, we could always just keep all our expensive players in case they might play better, but money is an object, whether the fans like it or not, and whether JR is making money or not.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 11:20 AM) then we won't be any better off than where we stand today. At least we have a direction.. I can't stand Billy Beane but he had the right approach for his team this year Didn't you say you wanted KW to start signing some quality free agents?

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 10:54 AM) I'd hope for some of these players we would get some great young prospects into this organzation. Peavy gone after this season and with all the money that the Sox saved, they can use it on next year free agency QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 09:39 AM) There is some decent talent left in the free agent market for us to sign. I just hope KW starts bringing people in here SOON. What exactly are arguing for? Getting prospects or trying to win in 2012?

2011-12 White Sox off season catch all thread
Eminor3rd replied to southsider2k5's topic in Pale Hose Talk
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 9, 2012 -> 12:27 PM) How is having David DeJesus on your roster rebuilding? We picked up a player who'll be better and cost us virtually nothing in Alejandro DeAza. Are you serious? Classic rebuidling move. All his peripherals suggest DeJesus had a year that was (1) unlucky, and (2) negatively affected by his ballpark. Cubs sign him on a short term deal at an extremely low rate, and now they will benefit not only by having a cheap way to win them a couple extra games for their fans while they rebuild, but also a potentially valuable trade chip at the deadline. -
2011-12 White Sox off season catch all thread
Eminor3rd replied to southsider2k5's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I like every move Hoyer/Epstein have made this winter. I don't think you can compare their moves and KW's moves apples to apples. FWIW, I like the thought process behind all of KW's moves too, which is really all I can ask for, since I don't know how good they think the prospects are. -
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 9, 2012 -> 09:29 AM) I have nothing to base it on, but with the way this off-season has gone, I'll bet the Danks extension finally came together because Kenny was going to trade John to somewhere like Baltimore or Toronto where he didn't want to go, so his "price" for an extension quickly dropped. It happened way too randomly at a time when Kenny was/is selling this team to the highest bidder. That makes a ton of sense, I hadn't thought about that.

Another White Sox / Blue Jays trade on the horizon?
Eminor3rd replied to striker's topic in Pale Hose Talk
QUOTE (flavum @ Jan 9, 2012 -> 09:47 AM) Blue Jays DFA Mark Teahen. I have to admit, if he never played for the Sox in the past, I'd say he's a perfect fit now. Sox need a 3B/1B lefty bat with some pop. I know it isn't logical, but I'd rather have Robin Ventura back-up third than have Teahen on the 40-man roster. -
Should the Sox consider Dunn for Soriano?
Eminor3rd replied to southsider2k5's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Ugh, no thanks. Why not just get Andruw Jones back? He's better at defense. -

I would extremely unhappy with this deal. I guess it makes sense as a salary dump though. -

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jan 5, 2012 -> 04:54 PM) Maybe, but I do think Floyd could command Drabek + McGuire (it's a bit costly for Toronto but Drabek seemed to fall hard). They obviously know a lot more about Drabek than we do. I would be willing to bet that if we could get Drabek too, it's because they believe he's cooked, which may end up being a bad thing. -

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jan 5, 2012 -> 04:40 PM) If this deal is true, it will give the Sox more money to get Cespedes.. An OF of Viciedo RF Cespedes CF Gose LF would be incredible for many years.. No chance we're getting Gose. This rumor is unlikely anyway, but AA loves Gose. Besides, he's RAW. He's basically a slightly better/not injured version of Jared Mitchell/Keenyn Walker from what I've heard. -

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 5, 2012 -> 04:15 PM) No doubt. They're a Gavin Floyd away from catching the Rays, Yankees and Red Sox. If they'd have gotten Latos and then signed Fielder, they actually would be a Gavin away. -

What about Noah Syndergaard? I'd rather have him than either Drabek or Deck
