I forgot if you don't worship Abreu around here, you're a troll

Basabes stats are looking nice so far. I'm high on him.

What's up with this guy having absolutely horrendous starts to the season? His numbers are DFA worthy. He's already worth -0.6 WAR! Just awful. Maybe they shouldn't play him until June. Is it safe to say he's been figured out?

http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/very-early-...-in-increments/ Steverson fixed Donaldson and made him an MVP. I'd bet the house he did the same with Avi. He made him harness his elite athleticism. I'd say lock up Steverson for 5-6 mil a year.

I love Alpha Dog even though I think he may hate me. Alpha Dog rocks. Haha that's pretty funny. Haven't you described yourself as something along the lines of "a low IQ person"? I'm pretty sure ive seen you post that about yourself. I suppose Forrest Gump isn't a bad comparison. He was a well accomplished man ya know, Greg.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 15, 2017 -> 02:32 PM) I'm not a Trumper but I don't think you want to hear why I despise Hillary. People claim they are tired of my repeating myself in my disdain for her. I don't think many people adore Hillary. But you are more of a simpleton, self admitted. You have admitted to not know the most about politics. Things are explained to you often but to know avail. You are easily swayed by propaganda that plays on your emotions. That is a big reason you feel why you do about her, realistically.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Apr 14, 2017 -> 08:52 PM) I do not accept your condemnation. Hillary Clinton will never be President. Did Hillary kick your dog or bang your girlfriend or something? I don't quite get why a lot of Trumpers think Hillary is the worst thing in the world, but Trump is alright. Dude is more evil than she is IMO. Has given a f*** about himself and his family, and only himself and his family (with the exception of the wives he cheats on) his whole life. I think it has to do with her being a woman honestly. I don't think all of them, and people like you, consciously dislike her because she is a woman. It's more of a subconscious thing. If Trump was a female and had 3 kids with 3 different guys, game over. If he was a female and said as much stupid s*** as he does, he would probably be deemed a bimbo like Palin.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Apr 14, 2017 -> 08:46 PM) Because I bask in the glow of knowing that Hillary Clinton will never be President. Come on, everybody say it. it has a nice ring to it. Hillary Clinton will NEVER BE PRESIDENT. Frankly, i just don't give a s*** other than that. That's pretty pathetic, honestly

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 12:14 AM) Rios 21, Dunn 22, Nate Jones 23, Melky 24 Greg actually has Rios at 15 in his top 20 most evil humans list, one step above Gacy who comes in at number 16

Some of you need a sense of humor. Sad lol

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 5, 2017 -> 03:51 PM) Thank god. I've heard enough on the Russia stuff since Trump's been elected. Interesting. I guess you have never heard of trump's former campaign manager, Paul Manafort. Might want to do some research on that.

QUOTE (jamesdiego @ Mar 26, 2017 -> 11:38 PM) I think his nickname is HoT FiRe It was only a matter of time

Anybody have any good nicknames for the young stud yet?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Mar 25, 2017 -> 12:18 AM) I disagree with almost everything written in this thread by posters so I will refrain from commenting unless you really wanna hear my opinion. I'll spare you of it since I disagree with almost all posts nowadays during the alleged rebuild. You must have confused this for the recent hawk thread. Don't worry, nobody is talking ill about Lord emperor hawk harrelson in this thread.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Dec 24, 2016 -> 11:33 PM) Who's this rookie ball first baseman with no speed that you speak of? Keon Barnum

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 09:47 AM) yeah, been gone for a while, but if I would have remembered, would have had to make it half green. You know there are people out there trying to find a way... Looks more like you're trying to create an issue out of nothing so you can get mad about itm. Go back to watching Fox news. I'm sure they found a teacher in bumf*** who wants to get rid of a christmas tree. You can get mad about that war on christmas atrocity

QUOTE (hi8is @ Dec 10, 2016 -> 11:53 PM) What the f*** is up with this millennial new age term: "bae"? It's awful, but using the term increases the chances of getting laid. There's really no choice

Did Lester have an issue signing with the rebuilding cubs? For a mega contract, Machado to would come here to be the Lester of our white sox imo. 9 years 270m, possibly frontloaded. Sox will have so much payroll.

Is this the year the white sox give a monster contract to a free agent? They will have so much freer up money by then. Prospects will be developing. Manny machado please?

Look, I get that we need more positional talent in our system. The thing is, I don't get why some people aren't more excited about the stockpiling of fireballers in our farm. Look at the 2015 Mets team that won the pennant. They had a staff full of fireballers/guys with plus stuff. Look at how many pitchers the white sox have with + potential. Fulmer, Hansen, Giolito, Lopez, Kopech, Burdi. Five of which are currently slotted as starters. Burdi could possibly be stretched out to be a starter, but we don't know if the sox will do that. Add Rodon in there too. Doesn't the thought of all these fireballers make you fraeking excited? look at the 2015 Mets. It is unlikely all of them pan out obviously, but we saw how much relievers can be traded for/how valuable they are this season. I have NO issue with the white sox stocking up on pitchers with dominant stuff. Hahn is doing an EXCELLENT job this offseason. I love his approach, and I love the value pitchers have currently/in the near future.

I'm just curious as to why anybody thinks gurriels bat would stick at first? He didn't exactly light the world up. You aren't winning with that bat at first and with that pitching.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 3, 2016 -> 12:54 PM) Why? Agreed. Beltran is a dh/occasional of at this point. I think this only increases the chances

QUOTE (Ro Da Don @ Nov 24, 2016 -> 05:01 PM) Rodon is gonna bust out into a top-tier pitcher in 2017. You heard it here first. Bryce Harper is going to have a bounce back season. You heard it here first

Is tulo that good or do you think his numbers are a fluke?

I live right by DePaul and hadn't even heard about this. Really doesn't bother me. I'm tired of self righteous jackasses who care about the fetus up until it's born. After they, they don't give a damn.
