I think we can possibly build a deal around Viciedo too and Astros can have Gattis catch. I don't know about that but it is an option. I would offer Chris Beck, Erik Johnson, Trayce Thompson, and Dayan Viciedo for Jason Castro and Michael Feliz

http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/01/furt...for-astros.html I know its more likely that Corprocan or Stassi gets traded. But, I think its worthy of bringing his name back up again. I think of possibly getting Castro makes this line up obviously much more dangerous. What would we have to give up?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 15, 2015 -> 04:56 PM) Nothing. And I'd be very, very surprised if they won the division. Unless they make bigger/more moves, I actually have them finishing 4th in that division. I think the Cardinals, Brewers and Pirates are much better than them. Better line ups, and better pitching. Everyone stays healthy and gets back to career numbers, the Reds could even push them to 5th. I just don't see it.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jan 14, 2015 -> 09:57 AM) Not a Sunday Night baseball fan even when the Sox are on, so I'm glad they're avoiding an early season appearance. Can this schedule be more ESPNy? April 5- Mad Men premiere. ESPN's Sunday night schedule (All times 8 ET): April 5: St. Louis Cardinals at Chicago Cubs April 12:Boston Red Sox at New York Yankees April 19: Cincinnati Reds at St. Louis Cardinals April 26: New York Mets at New York Yankees May 3: New York Yankees at Boston Red Sox ESPN Opening Day coverage, April 6 (All times ET): 1: Toronto Blue Jays at New York Yankees 4 : New York Mets at Washington Nationals 7: Cleveland Indians at Houston Astros 10: San Francisco Giants at Arizona Diamondbacks Lol at the Yankees getting 3 slots. Now the entire nation will know that they will suck this year.

Reliever- K-Rod Starter- Scherzer Bat- Longoria (lol)

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 14, 2015 -> 04:30 PM) @ClaytonESPN says the #Bears could get Fox & Gase w/ the #49ers not hiring Gase. That's not on his twitter page.....

What's the Sox payroll at now that Viciedo's 4.4 million is set now?

I seriously can't stand the way the WWE is heading. Triple H and Stephanie piss me off so much.

Not bad for a bench piece

I can see 8th. As others have said the top 3 is no question pretty damn good, probably top 5 in entire MLB. But with Danks and Noesi following behind those 3, the ranking is understandable. If Rodon lives up to the hype, then yes I think the rotation would easily be top 5.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 11, 2015 -> 12:42 PM) Is he a FA? I'd take him in a heartbeat. Yeah, he threw a week ago I believe, and there were scouts from 12-15 different teams there.

http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/o/ogandal01.shtml Had a really rough injury plagued 2014. But prior years he was pretty dang good. How would you guys feel if Ogando was the final piece of a rebuilt bullpen?

Jay Glazer just reported that John Fox likely to be out as Broncos HC if they lose today. Wow.

Huge game for Illinois tonight at Nebraska. If they can beat them and Northwestern at NU. 3-2 with 4 of 5 games on the road would be huge in my opinion.

It may not be the most popular opinion around here, but with the Bonifacio signing, I think Viciedo has a better chance of staying on the team than a month ago. Viciedo could provide power off the bench and platoon with LaRoche at DH. I could see the bench something like Bonifaco, Viciedo, Brantly/Kottraras, Davidson (providing he has a good ST to platoon with Gillaspie).

To all the new posters, welcome! This is a great site full of some knowledgeable baseball fans, opinions you may or may not agree with but thats what makes this board great.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 10, 2015 -> 09:10 AM) It will be interesting to see what Pace does in his first official draft as GM. I wish there was a Khalil Mack type Linebacker sitting there that could be the cornerstone If the Bears go 3-4, there very well could be. OLBs Shane Ray (Missouri) and Vic Beasley (Clemson) could be very good edge rusher like Aldon Smith. With that said, we really can't think of any players yet because we don't have a Head Coach. It'll also be interesting to see how they turn over this roster. Is Marshall done? Jennings? Pace got a 5 year contract because the Bears liked his long term plan. In my opinion, I really hope the Bears try to trade some of the veterans (Marshall, Cutler, Allen, Jennings) and just start the rebuild.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 10, 2015 -> 09:06 AM) Something about Edmonton brings out the worst in the Hawks from time to time. Wizards mostly seem to have the Bulls number as well. Dating back to last years playoffs.

Speaking of Hahn, I created a Word Document a while ago of what he has done as the GM of the White Sox. Besides the signing of Keppinger, he has done a tremendous job via trade, other FA signings, and the draft. If any of you would like to see it, I would love to send it to you to see what Hahn has accomplished in such a short time.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jan 10, 2015 -> 08:25 AM) i am wondering if, Scherzer still doesn't sign, and his agent will go the 1 yr rt, would the sox sign him for that 1 yr??? Even though he is waiting, I think there is a chance he signs a 1 year deal. He'll probably wait until February to sign unless teams start getting desperate early.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 10, 2015 -> 07:41 AM) George Zimmerman arrested...again. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/george...-weapon-n283586 This dude just doesn't get it.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 9, 2015 -> 11:50 AM) Reading between the lines, I do not think Jay Cutler will be back. I agree, as well as Brandon Marshall. Pace put a strong emphasis on character. Marshall very well could of ran his mouth out of town.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 9, 2015 -> 11:25 AM) I believe this was the same situation. But I could be wrong. Well the 2 brothers were from the newspaper attack, and the 3rd suspect turned himself in yesterday I believe. The kosher market incident was 2 people (man and woman) involved in a cop shooting yesterday and this hold up. The man got killed but i guess the woman escaped. QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 9, 2015 -> 11:37 AM) So the woman suspect escaped. wtf How does that happen? I bet she was the aggressor of the whole situation.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 9, 2015 -> 10:45 AM) all 3 gunmen in the hostage situation are dead. French dont f*** around It'll be interesting to see what they do with the 2nd attack that happened this morning. A man and woman holding up a kosher market or something like that.
