QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 26, 2015 -> 08:31 AM) in this post, i just remembered several other teams. i will mention 1 team in particular. Pitt. they are committed and they will need to do something. going into the off season, their press or the press of the sporting community broke them down, before the northside answered with their moves. Pitt needed a another sp, 1b they will also move both walker and marte b/c their prospects are ready to step in. looking back, they did the 1b, 2b trade now, i would pitt move marte and take a chance on 2 rookies in the lineup??? i still see them needing a better sp and if they do move marte, i can see it being done for a young cost control #2 or #3 type of sp. or would they just look into the fa market??? i am seeing teams as needing to make moves, just be keep up and to keep being competitive within their division. you know, i really do like this off season. a lot to think about. Pirates have Cole, Liriano, Niese, Vogelsong, and Locke in the rotation with Taillon, Kingham, and Glanslow on the cusp of the majors. They have a good prospect in Hanson that will take over for Walker at 2B. There is 0 chance they trade Marte unless it is a massive haul. He is probably the best LFer in the game.

Thanks for all the info Bucket, great as usual. Glad Gordon will have an offer on Monday. Wonder who they would target if they miss on any of these guys.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 24, 2015 -> 05:48 PM) This isn't correct. San Diego will have 2 picks (Upton, Kennedy) in front of White Sox. Sox currently sit at #29 with Murphy signing. Iwakuma going back to Seattle didn't help. Those players could always resign with their respective teams. Can't always assume (Iwakuma)

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 24, 2015 -> 05:28 PM) Think I posted this info in the wrong thread. I should have posted it here. http://m.mlb.com/draft/2016/order Sox looking at the 10th and 28th picks in June's draft as of right now. 27 now with the signing of Daniel Murphy.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Dec 24, 2015 -> 02:05 PM) I looked at the teams ahead of the Bears in terms of draft order & their last 2 games. If the Bears lose out and the teams ahead of them finish as I project, the Bears *could* be picking 6th and with Bosa/Lynch/Tunsil/Goff almost assuredly going top 4, you have to think there's a good chance Ramsey is there at 6. Jaylon Smith as well. Vernon Hargraves III.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 24, 2015 -> 12:12 PM) So P.K. Subban seems like a pretty good dude. (Warning: this video may cause tears) https://twitter.com/PKSubban1/status/679990515954102272 I love P.K Subban

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 22, 2015 -> 08:05 PM) Recent news/rumors John Smoltz is replacing Harold Reynolds on FOX National Broadcasts... Jackie Bradley, Jr., might be in play KC potentially targeting Trayce Thompson, Van Slyke, Kiki Hernandez and Alex Guerrero from LAD for relief help (Herrera, Hochevar, etc.)...as well as CarGo http://www.royalsreview.com/2015/12/16/103...ing-alex-gordon Most recent article on the Royals' negotiations or lack thereof with Gordon That article was from 6 days ago. We knew that 6 days ago. No interest in JBJ.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 22, 2015 -> 07:56 PM) We had threads on Lawrie and Frazier so we can hit their best cheese I tweeted to the Sox a little bit about Lawrie, they got him. I tweeted to the Sox a lot about Todd Frazier, they got him. Now, I've been tweeting at them a lot to get Justin Upton (TBA). Hopefully it happens!

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 22, 2015 -> 07:07 PM) Butler is better than Leonard in my opinion. Yeah, it's not even close. Leonard is a superstar.

They did sign him officially. 4.5 million

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 22, 2015 -> 11:29 AM) I kinda feel like Gordon/Royals and Davis/Orioles is holding everything else up. Once Gordon signs back with the Royals, other teams will get more aggressive with targets. I completely agree. If those 2 resign with their respective teams, then the Upton and Cespedes will heat up with us, Giants, Angels, Nationals? Cardinals might be out with the Leake signing, they could probably make a trade for an OFer without that big of a money commitment.

Phil Rogers on MLBN suggesting Sox trade Robertson to fit one of the major OFs.

So, when does GarPax finally get the axe? Afraid to trade young players, sign old vets, hire coaches and then have dysfunction with them despite success. Now they sign their golden boy and this team has gone down the toilet.

Noah might of just separated his shoulder

QUOTE (zenryan @ Dec 21, 2015 -> 10:48 AM) Wrong, Odell wasn't the clear aggressor. Norman body slammed Beckham on the 5th play and started the physical confrontations. http://thebiglead.com/2015/12/20/josh-norm...kham-body-slam/ LOL, so he started it once. OBJ ended it about 4 other times with Norman, and started another fight with another CB on the Panthers as well. OBJ will be suspended.

Seriously though, can anyone beat the Hawks in a 7 game series? Only team that can imo is the Kings.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Dec 20, 2015 -> 02:24 PM) Odell Beckham is playing one of the dirtiest games I've ever seen. He should be kicked out. He should be suspended for next week without question. But its the NFL, and they won't have the balls to. He is really embarrassing himself today.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 20, 2015 -> 11:19 AM) John Timu starting at ILB in place of Christian Jones He sucks too. If Bears can sign Danny Trevathan and draft Jaylon Smith, that ILB would be a lot better.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 20, 2015 -> 10:27 AM) Of course I do. My statistics were correct. Upton's OBP has dropped each of the last 4 seasons. I never claimed Cespedes has a good OBP. He's a slugger. His mashing has trended upward. But last year could very well have been a career blip. Upton has hit 25+ HRs 6 of the last 7 seasons, while getting on base at a higher clip than Cespedes, AND actually has experience playing RF.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 20, 2015 -> 09:48 AM) His OBP has trended downward. Not precipitously. He Ks a lot. Cespedes has been trending upward. But he is more of the slugger type; but he sure can mash it. No QO Do you look up statistics? In 8 full seasons, Upton's lowest OBP was this year at 336. In 4 years, Cespedes has had an OBP above 336 once, and that was his rookie year. And Upton actually had a higher OBP than Cespedes last year despite having a "down year" and Cespedes "trending upward"

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 20, 2015 -> 08:48 AM) Flip Lawrie. Do they have a young OF? None that is better than Lawrie, unless we get Harper lol. Sox aren't trading Lawrie.

Why haven't the Sox held a press conference yet introducing Lawrie and Frazier yet? I could be wrong with the timing, but I know they introduced Samardzija, Robertson, and Cabrera all at once last year, so maybe they are waiting until they are completely done? Hopefully we sign Upton or Cespedes and we can have another 3 players to introduce at a press conference.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 19, 2015 -> 05:36 PM) Jean Segura is an interesting idea....from the comments. Josh Nelson also questioning whether Sox can play at big boys' table in terms of Cespedes, et al. Doesn't hit much, but fangraphs has him as a good defender at SS. 3 years ago, he really hit well. Last year, he was hit by tragedy as he lost his infant son I believe. That probably took a tole on him. I wonder how much Segura would go for.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 19, 2015 -> 05:29 PM) Haha oh my lord. Who is that? Jason Goch? That guy says dumb s***. http://www.csnchicago.com/show/sportstalk-live It's the first guy seen after Garfein in this clip. I don't think they talk about Cutler in this clip, but I hate this guy and everything he says is just completely dumb.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Dec 19, 2015 -> 05:19 PM) Someone on one of the CSN shows was talking about how Cespedes absolutely strikes fear into the pitchers when he's at the dish. I didn't know that but I like it. It was SportsTalk Live, and it was the guy that also predicted the Bears are going to release Cutler next season and Sign Peyton Manning to a 1 year deal.
