QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 29, 2014 -> 05:47 PM) I should have also added Aoki and Span to the list I want no part of Aoki.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 29, 2014 -> 05:39 PM) By position, the players that I wonder if the Sox will go after via FA or trade: C- Grandal, Castro 1B/DH- Butler, VMart, Alvarez OF- Ackley, Saunders, N. Cruz, Crawford/Ethier, Bruce, C. Dickerson SP- Samardzija, Gallardo, Latos, Leake RP- Robertson, Soria, Maurer, A. Miller, Justin Wilson, Rex Brothers This is exactly my list minus Crawford/Ethier. I actually know Samardzija and I want to try and convince him to come back to Chicago and play for the Sox.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Sep 29, 2014 -> 11:00 AM) No idea 3 of those players (sub Ball for McCoy) were available in rounds 3-5. I had the 5th pick and traded it for 10 & 11 while still having my 2nd round pick. We did a live draft at my house. So I took Rodgers and Bryant at 10 & 11. Lacy round 2 and traded Andre Johnson and Ryan Matthews (before injury) for Julio Jones. I made out pretty good lol

To the poster that said something about Bostic, he has actually been playing some damn good football this season. He has been very effective in the run game, filling his gaps and filling them with authority and driving his offenders back so other players can fill make the play. Pass defense, every young player can improve in, but overall, Bostic has done a good job this season.

So I won again this week. I am currently 4-0 in my 10 team ppr league. I also just made a trade this morning, now this is what I was offered, I get McCoy and Mike Wallace for Montee Ball and Steve Smith. Hopefully McCoy picks it up. Made some other roster moves as I dropped Romo, which could cost me later but whatever. My team is currently: QB Rodgers RB Lacy RB McCoy WR Julio Jones WR Bryant WR Sanders TE Vernon Davis FLEX Mike Wallace DEF Bengals K Bailey Bench RBs West, Bradshaw, Chris Johnson WRs Gordon, Stevie Johnson TE Witten DEF Lions. Thoughts?

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Sep 29, 2014 -> 10:05 AM) Just statistically it's not good for us as most top 100 prospects commit to the last school they visited. It's not 100%, but it's definitely heavily correlated. A person on Illinois Loyalty actually did a search on that and based it off the the top 100 kids from the 2014 class. Only 58% committed to the last school they visited. Obviously more than half, but not overwhelming at all. And like the poster a couple above me said, Evans said that he would be announcing this week before his OSU visit.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Sep 28, 2014 -> 04:59 PM) Yep. White Sox have the 8th pick in the 2015 draft. I'll gladly take the 8th pick next year.

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 28, 2014 -> 04:03 PM) I stunk, but here are the answers (unless something changes in the next two innings): Record and runs scored after 100 games? 48-52, 428 runs Who will represent the Sox at the All Star Game?

Yes Will Adam Dunn be on the White Sox in September--yes or no? No Will Adrian Nieto stay on the 25-man all year (DL counts)--yes or no? Yes I was pretty close on nailing all of these.

Evans has announced that he is making his decision on Wednesday.

Semien can hit man. He'll be a good one.

Just got back from the game. Tonight's crowd was so electric. It was so good to see that to honor Konerko. When Abreu hit that first inning HR, the place erupted and I had goosebumps. I hope we can get more of that in the upcoming years. Like others have said, the PK ceremony was simply amazing.

I will be there. Section 548 row 1 seat 1 & 2

Guy on Illinois Loyalty boards is saying that ET is going to commit to Illinois on Monday. Put it at 80%

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Sep 23, 2014 -> 10:23 AM) If you go with the premise that anyone is available there's so many more guys you could have named. Coors Field products like Corey Dickerson Jay Bruce coming off a bad year. These are my guys that I'm targeting. I would target Dickerson and Rex Brothers from the Rockies and try to get Jay Bruce and Mat Latos from the Reds.

Evans visits OSU today and tomorrow With Coleman, Jordan, Williams already committed, being the leader for ET, I think it would be hard to imagine that JE can't see how well there are going to be shooters around him. I really hope we get ET and JE

Just traded RB Joique Bell and WR Reggie Wayne for RB Montee Ball and WR Stevie Johnson. I added great RB depth as I think I'm already stacked at WR. QB Rodgers RB Lacy RB Ball WR Jones WR Sanders WR Bryant TE Davis FLEX Steve Smith DEF Bengals K Bailey Romo Chris Johnson West Stevie Johnson Witten Gordon Bradshaw

I honestly loved having Zook as HC for Illinois...and VK was incredible, the defenses under him were awesome.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 22, 2014 -> 10:20 AM) Not a big fan of the QB/RB stack though, you can lose too many TDs with both on the same team. I agree, but at the time, Lacy was best available imo.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 22, 2014 -> 10:07 AM) Once Rodgers and Lacy turn it around, your team is pretty damn awesome. My team is awesome once they figure it out. I just hope Rodgers and Lacy don't figure it out against the Bears next week lol

QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 22, 2014 -> 09:19 AM) Good thing that I started Lacy. :-/ He has been awful this season. I have him too.

Well I am 3-0 in my money league now. I made a trade last saturday morning getting Julio Jones for Andre Johnson and Ryan Matthews, and then Matthews got hurt the next day. So my line up looks like this now with some FAs added. Remember 10 team league. QB Aaron Rodgers (hasn't done much) RB Eddy Lacy (huge disappointment so far) RB Ahmad Bradshaw (my best RB lol) WR Dez Bryant WR Julio Jones WR Emmanuel Sanders TE Vernon Davis FLEX Reggie Wayne DEF Bengals K Dan Bailey Bench QB Tony Romo RB Chris Johnson RB Terrance West RB Joique Bell WR Josh Gordon WR Steve Smith TE Jason Witten

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Sep 19, 2014 -> 01:52 PM) Didn't ND just get a guard commit to fill that scholarship? Yes they did. By the looks of ET's twitter, he is having a ball on his visit. Illini fans showing him love.

Thomas flying into Champaign tonight.

http://www.milb.com/player/index.jsp?sid=m...itting/2014/ALL pretty good minor league numbers and still only 24. Worth a look?

LOL Aoki strikes again
