Gotta give credit where it's due. Illinois with 2 very good wins against NC State and VCU. If they can finish the non-conference schedule out 10-3, I'd feel good about BT play.

QUOTE (ChiSox1917 @ Dec 3, 2016 -> 04:04 PM) Not sure I understand what Boston's strategy is right now. They're very confusing. EE would be a perfect replacement for Papi & they need starting pitching. But all rumors seem to be them not really doing anything this offseason. Bizarre. They'll get used to 1st round exits in the playoffs then.

We buy and trade for McCutchen

Doesn't mean a thing, but I think it's absolutely hilarious that Alex Bregman is currently in Chicago at the Bulls game right now lol.

QUOTE (Ro Da Don @ Dec 2, 2016 -> 06:46 PM) Even better. - Melky's 15 million and Sales 13 or so. We're going to have an Oakland-like payroll if we sell these guys. Signing placeholders for 3 or 4 mil (1 WAR is worth roughly 8 mil BTW) has no effect on any business moves. They're getting paid for what they've been. Less than 1 win players Especially if they get rid of Frazier and Robertson as well.

QUOTE (Ro Da Don @ Dec 2, 2016 -> 06:39 PM) To be fair, our payroll stood at 70 mil before these signings, I believe. It'll get a lot lower if we shed Melky's 15 mil etc. It was at 63 million.

I'd sign both of the non tenders from Arizona. Ruby De La Rosa and Welly.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 2, 2016 -> 06:16 PM) This is worse than re-signing Avi. Does Rick Hahn actually think Lawrie's a good player? QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Dec 2, 2016 -> 06:20 PM) Lol, clueless comment. What's new honestly with him? Lawrie is good depth in case Frazier does get traded or he could even be packaged in a bigger deal. 3.5 million is extremely team friendly.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 2, 2016 -> 03:28 PM) If there is already talk about Robles being included in a deal for McCutchen, why wouldn't the price for Eaton be significantly higher? This. Less miles on Eaton as well compared to Cutch. Under team control longer and cheaper. Eaton definitely is worth Robles, Giolito/Fedde + one more piece.

Rumors that Ben Revere will be non-tendered. Would love to sign him as a bounce back candidate.

QUOTE (kwill @ Dec 1, 2016 -> 12:20 PM) What is weird is the Pirates interest in Robles. I thought the reason they want to move McCutchen is to make room for Austin Meadows. I would love to see the Pirates get into the bidding war as they have some fantastic young talent and could use an ace to anchor their rotation. Sale+Cole would be as good as any in the national league. They're moving Meadows to LF in AAA next season and putting Marte in CF.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 1, 2016 -> 11:01 AM) Thought this was good news to see PIT thinking they can get Robles for 30 year old McCutcheon on a downyear. I could see Robles and Fedde headlining a deal for Cutch

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeyman 4m4 minutes ago Jersey City, NJ mets lookin to add multiple relievers (tho probably not a closer), & maybe some catching help Sox have some relievers to trade. Could be a good match with the Mets.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 30, 2016 -> 08:10 AM) I am no fan of KW, but a WS title with a payroll that isn't over the top alone disqualifies him from being an all time bad GM. This thread really makes me doubt any inside info this poster has provided. Yeah I agree with you DA. Why create a thread like this when your new to the board and claim that you have inside information? Doesn't make sense.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 30, 2016 -> 07:23 AM) [Roberto Luongo] https://twitter.com/strombone1Strombone @strombone1If anybody finds my jock kindly return it thanks https://twitter.com/buccigross/status/803816883036323840 … Luongo is really a great guy with a good personality and a great goalie.

QUOTE (Carpe Diem @ Nov 30, 2016 -> 07:03 AM) Nah I spoke with him a few days ago and was told "99% chance the show will start December 4th and unless the Rangers pony up Odor its still between Astros and Dodgers" Have you heard what the Astros and Dodgers package of players will be? What about other Sox players?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Nov 29, 2016 -> 10:03 AM) You can return games? Did you buy it used or something? No, I'll just sell it back to Gamestop and get store credit for it if this happens again. I checked this morning since you said it and my manager mode was still ok, but we'll see.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Nov 28, 2016 -> 12:11 AM) Ha they just all re-gen'd for no reason. I played until 1220 last night lol. So, if they re generated the names again I'm returning the game.

QUOTE (flavum @ Nov 28, 2016 -> 10:56 AM) As far as Sale, he's going to the Dodgers in about 55 hours. Wednesday afternoon. You guessing?

I don't mind it at all. Pretty cool.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Nov 27, 2016 -> 11:34 AM) I definitely wouldn't mind taking on a bigger contract in a Sale trade if more prospects were coming back as a result at the same time. I could see something like Sale and Frazier for McCarthy, Puig, Urias, Bellinger, Verdugo, Calhoun/Lux, and Alvarez. That still leaves Kershaw, Sale, Maeda, Kazmir, Wood, Stirpling, De Leon, Stewart, and Ryu for depth for the Dodgers.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 27, 2016 -> 11:17 AM) Interesting read. That could make a guy like Sale or Quintana even more important. It would also mean that a guy like Frazier wouldn't happen, while they could ask us to take back a Puig in order to dump a few bucks to make a deal revenue neutral. Unless we get one of their starters back in a deal like Ryu or McCarthy

Ohio State's uniforms are awful

Really getting fed up with FIFA 17. This is the 2nd time that this has happened to me. Middle of my career mode and all the players have changed to random names. Not even real names. So, I'm trying to find players via transfer and none of them show up. Just awful. Erik Lamela is now Erivalo Luca.......

Ever since the Man City game, Spurs have been pathetic
