There's a reason a guy with this much talent has been moved around as often as he has been. I'd stay away from him. And if Kenny Williams "loves" Upton, that's even more reason to stay FAR away. This is Hahn's show (supposedly) not Kenny's. Mark

White Sox decline to tender Tyler Flowers and Jacob Turner
Lip Man 1 replied to Baron's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Our long national nightmare is over. More deadwood off the tree. Should have been done last year. We'll see how many teams are interested in a "pitch framing" stiff who can't hit, can't block balls or throw out base runners. Thank God. No guarantees they'll bring in anybody better but how could they find someone who is worse??? Mark -
Trading LaRoche would be a good thing. Mark
-
Anything and anybody that takes playing time away from Flowers is a very good thing. If Avila is healthy he's a better defensive catcher and if he can hit above .220 he's an improvement there as well. Mark

Given the fragility of pitchers today (in part because of pitch counts...) you can never have to much pitching in my opinion. It is still the most precious commodity in the game. Mark

MLB free agent predictions: Who should sign Jeff Samardzija?
Lip Man 1 replied to whitesoxjr27's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Given what's gone on with the Cardinals pitching staff, that's where he needs to go. The question is, would St. Louis, because of the circumstances, move away from their philosophy and aggressively go after free agent pitching. Mark -
QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 04:32 PM) Yup. Offseason fluff, I guess. Coming next, "Rick Hahn states that the White Sox are looking to win more games in 2016" He already has...LOL. Mark

Chris Sale did not finish in the top-3 for AL Cy Young voting
Lip Man 1 replied to Jose Abreu's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Can't argue with it. Strikeouts are nice but wins are nicer in my opinion and Sale was simply inconsistent this year save for that stretch of 10 or so games. Mark -
White Sox make qualifying offer to Jeff Samardzija.
Lip Man 1 replied to LittleHurt05's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Offer was expected and its expected he's leaving. Which is fine with me. By the way Sullivan tonight has a story at the Tribune saying the Cubs "have their sites on him..." It would be typical for him to have a good season next year, with some other team. Mark -
Fangraphs Free Agent Predictions-Dave Cameron.
Lip Man 1 replied to Y2Jimmy0's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Kendrick would be a nice addition I think. Mark -
If another team in the division is smart they'll sign him just to torture the White Sox. According to STATS he's got the highest percentage of career RBI's against one team IN HISTORY! Mark
-
Good move. let him go. Thanks for everything by time to move on. Hope he's not back. Let Saladino man the position or sign a one year stop gap until Anderson is ready. Mark

QUOTE (flavum @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 01:42 PM) Albers, Beckham, Samardzija, and Soto filed for free agency. 40-man is at 34. Free agents can start signing with new teams on Saturday. Only ones I'd even think about bringing back are Soto as a back up and Albers. Mark

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 25, 2015 -> 10:35 AM) Last year it was luck or a fluke in the WC game...this year it was the umpiring. What will it be next season as the excuse? If Ned Yost is worse than Ventura and Moore isn't that good either, why haven't the White Sox with exponentially more resources been able to pull off the same seemingly easy feat? Good question. I'll wait to see how someone decides to try to answer it. Mark

QUOTE (Wanne @ Oct 23, 2015 -> 03:29 PM) ' To this day still my all time favorite Sox player to watch....bar none. He was absolutely amazing. There was really nothing the guy couldn't do....and some of the HRs would hit...good lord. He hit one that was at the base of the scoreboard in CF against the O's I believe...and a line drive at that. We were in RF that day. And of course the 3 run-pinch hit hr off Sparky Lyle in the 9th was still the best I've ever seen in person. That was a great link Lip...thanks. Allen was an amazing player for sure. The center field hold run came off Lindy McDaniel of the Yankees. Mark

Unfortunate that he didn't address one single issue that Sox fans are concerned about today regarding the state of his franchise (of course he may have agreed to the interview only under certain conditions, he has done so in the past...) Basically a fluff piece. Mark

2016 Steamer Projections and the Reality of this Offseason
Lip Man 1 replied to Dunt's topic in Pale Hose Talk
QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 09:04 PM) The postseason isn't even over and we've already written off 2016. If the recent past (nine years) is prologue with the White Sox that's probably a pretty good bet. Mark -
I don't think they'd be actively shopping Eaton but you listen to offers...you never know. With as many holes as they need to fill if you can get two good players for him in the long run you may help the overall talent on the club. All depends on what may be offered. Mark
