Corbin and Happ aren't Harper or Manny. Silly comparison.

Cool thanks Rabbit

Who said they were being cheap?

I think ridiculous in the White Sox mind and more specifically in Jerry's mind could be different than what the Phillies are thinking.

Maybe it's just be Rabbit. But I don't think the Sox will make that "Phillies ridiculous" offer that may be needed to sign one of these guys. What do you think?

The White Sox and this front office have earned it.

Honestly that would be something I would definitely do. Mentioned it a few week back. Grab Kemp if Harper wants to go to the Dodgers. Get some more pieces back.

Exactly. Maybe I'm just extremely cynical about our position now. But I think it'll be more of the same next free agency too if we do miss out this go around.

I maintain that we shouldn't sign anyone if we fail on Harper and Manny. At that point we're screwed next year anyway. Might as well get another top draft pick.

I'll tell you what...I like what the Oakland A's are doing

Me after not being on here for a day looking at the last thread

Don't have no source neither.....nice

Yeah the White Sox deserve the lack of respect right now. They stink and have for years. Rick doesn't make it happen and they are going to continue that mantra beyond next year.

That's something I'm sure he'll look into...

I mean....he could already know he wants to go there.

Well I would have to eat my own words. Just a change of subject....but hopefully he decides soon because as it stands our OF is mega fucked right now.

I think the offer more than New York but not more than the Phillies. I think the Phillies will hand over a blank check and allow Manny to fill it in. Duquette mentioned that he doesn't think we'll loosen the purse strings. I just don't see Jerry doing it.

Tyler Flowers, Avi Garcia and Linebrink were some of my least favorite. But Adam LaRoche is easily my least favorite now.

Just because we're one of the three teams doesn't mean we have a good chance. Carmelo Anthony visited Chicago. They had a slim chance of signing him. Why? Because NY could offer him much more money. Good chance that happens here.

I think the chance we sign either right now is remote at best. Definitely for Manny. I don't believe we offer the most money to beat out the Phillies.

Jim Duquette thinks the Phillies get him.

I agree

Surprisingly he was in the positive in DRS at 1B.
