Baron

Well that's surprising. Didnt expect him to come here.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Feb 4, 2016 -> 08:40 PM) Any day now well land one. My guess is Fowler. I'm guessing so...I just want this to be over with. We havent been mentioned with Jackson...it has to be Fowler.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 1, 2016 -> 04:45 PM) We have Soler, his name is Avi Garcia. Exactly and so far Soler is actually worse on defense

Rogers mentioned Carl Crawford too who the Dodgers are trying to get rid of. He was actually pretty decent in 2014 and 2013. His 2015 campaign dropped off on offense. Both of them arent good on defense and free agents in 2018.

Well it's definitely not going to happen now

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jan 31, 2016 -> 07:56 AM) Not true. I've seen him play a lot of CF with Rockies. Great range, pretty good arm. Hits the cut-off guy, usually. Hustles. If Sox get him, I'm sure Eaton goes to LF, where he belongs and will probably be one of best defensive LF's game. I have not seen him play that much since he left Colorado, but he was good enough then. He makes the team better defensively at least. And faster on the bases. I hope he hits. I've seen him play as well. Houston is only a 3 hour drive. He's awful in center field. The eye test and every single defensive metric proves that correct. He gave up the most runs out of all center fielders the past 2 years. Which was over 30. Most of them were out of position runs and throwing mistake runs.

Give up money plus the draft pick now or prospects midseason when they have to replace Garcia. It's just delaying the inevitable by doing nothing. Just one will hurt much more.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jan 30, 2016 -> 06:03 PM) How is Fowler in CF? Horrible is the correct term I think

Diamondbacks finally got rid of Aaron Hill

QUOTE (flavum @ Jan 29, 2016 -> 08:56 AM) The Hahn/Ventura seminar is tonight 6-6:45. Somebody live tweet that. It's not going to be pretty Sun Times posted this last night. http://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/7/71/12...answers-soxfest

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 28, 2016 -> 09:40 PM) They are giving us hope by not coming out and saying the roster is set Well he did acknowledge that Hahn is trying to upgrade still...we'll find out more this weekend on this front. But I'm sure Robin knows...he's probably on the hottest seat in MLB right now. They have to come out the gate winning. Hell even after a week of not winning people will be moaning and groaning.

QUOTE (CyAcosta41 @ Jan 28, 2016 -> 09:00 PM) Agreed. We've strengthened many of our weaknesses from last year. Sometimes the effect can be geometric rather than straight arithmetic. Some people call this chemistry. Agreed also ... while I think they are tone deaf for not getting this done immediately before or during SoxFest (and I'll hold out hope that this is still possible), I'd bet any of Greg's remaining houses that there is an OF'er still to come (my preferences in order are Fowler over Jackson, but at least a Raburn type to make sure LaRoche keeps his seat on the bench against ALL LH'ers forever). But dude, DISAGREE ... the Villagers didn't storm the Castle against Count anyone. Count Dracula would have made short work of that. They stormed Baron Frankenstein's castle, and not so much looking for Baron Frankenstein, but Frankenstein's monster.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 28, 2016 -> 07:45 PM) He sure isn't going to say that we are still actively trying to replace him, just in case the worst case scenario actually happens. Where did I say he was? None of what he said was surprising. Amusing to hear it come from his mouth yes. Surprising no.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 28, 2016 -> 07:35 PM) What else could he say? We spent all winter trying to replace the guy because he sucks, and now we are stuck with him? They arent stuck with him yet

He also said he had to talk to Avi after the rumors and they are "excited" to have him starting in RF.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 28, 2016 -> 04:23 PM) That has nothing to do with anything. Hinrich was once an above average NBA player. Avi has never been anything but a bum thus far in his career. Hinrich is now in a bench role. People might want to hate on him, but he's still a bench player and when you look at his career statistics, he will go down as one of the better Bulls (I'm not saying he's currently an above average NBA player by any stretch of the imagination). However, I still think he's a quality player to have off your bench. They are both bums right now. One is old and cant play defense or offense. The other is young and cant play defense or offense. Nobody cares about what Kirk did hell 10 years ago. Most people want him off the roster because his play/salary has overshadowed the good he did many years ago.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 28, 2016 -> 04:08 PM) Can't link it but Merkin also tweeted that Ventura knows Hahn is trying to tweak roster Scott Merkin loves to troll people about Garcia...it's getting fairly embarrassing at this point.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 28, 2016 -> 04:00 PM) Hinrich and Avi don't belong in the same sentence. Hinrich is one of the better players in franchise history. Hinrich hasnt played atleast above a decent level since before he was with Atlanta.

Atleast this will stop the CarGo rumors to the Sox now for a while.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jan 28, 2016 -> 02:34 PM) Looks like they deleted it, unless it's just not showing up for me. Yeah they did and changed it

Rays dont need an OFer now...good..so they wont get Soler from the Cubs

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 28, 2016 -> 02:14 PM) Nope, just clueless Apparently even on the phones he needs a platoon Hawk is helping

https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/692800623406772224 Are they trolling season ticket holders now?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 28, 2016 -> 12:20 PM) Isn't that the real reason for new uniforms? Hey more non Bears related clothes is less complaining from the girlfriend
