If Gammons,Rosenthal,Heyman and company whiffed on this I'm going to be pissed

QUOTE (ChiSoxFan05 @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 08:10 PM) Marlins beat writer says it's Texas. He said dont rule them out.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 07:49 PM) Nice work Ricky, hope you scouted right and we just signed a multi year all star. Gotta like how wishy washy Kenny was when asked about him....then here comes this news. Classic Kenny.

I cant wait to see the Facebook reactions from people who will come out and say its a disgrace he was signed because he needs an education ect. Kinda like what happened with Michael Zapata.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 07:35 PM) At mlb.com, it currently has the Astros, White Sox and Red Sox as the 3 favorites... Obviously Boston's not going to announce it during the post-season with Napoli directly affected by that decision. That was earlier today...if Boston bid just above 40 million then they for sure didnt get him

Ken Rosenthal confirmed it

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 06:59 PM) I'd have to imagine that Abreu's agent now will give teams time to up their bids. I am sure it is his camp stating White Sox at $70 million. Teams know what they have to bid over to get into the game. I'm not 100 percent on this...but I think once you put your bids in then thats it.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 06:11 PM) I doubt they'd announce this before the Series ends. Yep....many speculated a few pages earlier that this would be the case.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 06:04 PM) Now I wonder when we can expect a deal. Hope it's the Sox Someone on twitter said a decision in the next 2 weeks. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

I'm getting excited but trying to suppress that for now....just waiting until its done.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Oct 16, 2013 -> 03:29 PM) Man that is a lot of money for such an unproven one-way player. But a Abreu-Garcia-Viciedo middle of the order could be dynamic if they meet their potential. Kenny was at the workout so he really must have liked what he saw.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 28, 2013 -> 07:56 PM) Had to happen Robin staying is fine...but I didnt think his entire staff would be back and he certainly shouldnt have been.

Never going to happen

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 30, 2013 -> 07:47 PM) This sounds like a terrible idea. Get him his innings now so that he's stronger for next year. Unless you plan to trade him or shove him back in the bullpen next year. Keep pitching like this and he wont be getting his innings

They looked good when they were made Hawk? The Rios one was iffy at best when it was made.

GARCIA!!!!

We need to trade this guy on the mound immediately for a bunch of unproven prospects.

Dunn with a clutch strike out

Great AB by Garcia to lead the game off....really good speed aboard

Nice hanging breaking ball Reed

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 23, 2013 -> 08:06 PM) How was AJ not involved in that? Screaming at the umpire "your f***ing brutal!!!"

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 21, 2013 -> 04:23 PM) I was 21. I've seen plenty worse. But yes, high school was not kind to me. Its alright....that area after high school hasnt been kind to me

QUOTE (ron883 @ Aug 21, 2013 -> 04:10 PM) So you are ok if any player or coach quits on a team during the season? Would you grill Rios or Dunn if they did that? Winner....ofcourse he would grill them both. Doc Holliday-"It appears my hypocrisy knows no bounds." (Tombstone)

It wasnt exactly a fun experience with Ozzie for a good portion of his stay here. That Kotsay/Jones/Thome episode a few years ago was interesting. Thats really one of my most remembered moments besides the WS.
