I wouldn't say we're "close" with him, I'd say he's a potential fit.

QUOTE (kevo880 @ Dec 2, 2015 -> 01:15 PM) Jayson Stark Verified account ‏@jaysonst Forget the theory that Jeff Samardzija will be the bargain of the offseason. Teams talking with him say he's claiming to have $100M on table $100M for him??? JFC, that's gonna come back to haunt them.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Dec 2, 2015 -> 01:11 PM) They will likely not have a winning season even with replacing his bat. So no reason to eat money just for the sake of it. To be fair, I don't think the Sox having a winning season with this current roster is that out of the question. We won 76 games in 2015. Replace 6 losses with 6 wins and we would have had a winning season. It's not that far-fetched. We're capable of having one with or without LaRoche on the roster.

I liked Beckham but I think we misused him. Hard for me to dislike a guy who played his hardest for us for seven years.

I'm more of a Hulu and relax type of guy

Now that Eaton is becoming more of a power hitter, I wouldn't mind him being shifted to #2 and Melky down in the 5-6 range. The issue, as you pointed out, is where he'd play among the Melky/Eaton/Thompson/Garcia shuffle with Shuck as a backup.

No thanks. His age concerns me, and I think we'd be smarter to use the money elsewhere.

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Dec 1, 2015 -> 10:33 PM) Adrian Gonzalez, Prince Fielder , Jose Bautista, Miguel Cabrera, JD Martinez, Shane Victorino, Edwin Encarnación, Shin Soo Choo Look at Carlos Beltran at age 38. This "theory" is simply ridiculous. Beltran had been in the AL before, Victornio had one good AL season and now he's not what he used to be, Houston was in the AL when Martinez left, Bautista had started in the AL... there are many names of NL players who came to the AL and played worse than they used to.

Bryant is a terrific 20% 3-point shooter this year- TAKING 8 PER GAME. That's even worse than 2014 Derrick Rose.

This sure worked on David Price! He wanted nothing more but to come bring a championship to the North Side! Money was not a factor at all!

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 1, 2015 -> 07:31 PM) There's a segment on the sox on MLB tonight right now Anything notable?

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Dec 1, 2015 -> 04:52 PM) The White Sox signed David Price!? Then why is this here? I'm lucky I heard the news before logging on. I would've assumed (by the title and this being PHT) that we signed Price and I would've had a heart attack Mods, maybe one of you could add "Boston signs" to the title or something? Anyway, that deal will be biting them in the ass in a few years.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 1, 2015 -> 03:51 PM) Who would replace Melky in the outfield? I'm not opposed to your idea, I'm just not sure who would replace him unless the Sox signed a big name guy like Upton, Cespedes, etc. Eaton, with Thompson in CF

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 1, 2015 -> 12:29 PM) Why are they all talking over each other? The poor main guy trying to announce and they are all commenting on some inane crap. I thought they had the wrong feed the first time I listened. That video is pretty cringeworthy, but they're usually not worse than those TNT basketball pre-game guys shouting over each other.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 1, 2015 -> 10:19 AM) I don't think I've ever watched NFL network highlights before, but watched these to see what happened in games last night: http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlig...owns-highlights Try to listen to that commentary and not cringe. I watch NFL Network's highlight show over SportsCenter to avoid the whole East Coast bias. I do agree that the commentary is worse.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Dec 1, 2015 -> 09:11 AM) UIC student that was threatening to do this at U of C I know, but the OP said that UIC was shut down when it was U of C that was shut down. My sister goes to U of C. She came back home for the day. The guy who made the threat is just an imbecile.

The Bulls are playing as if Thibs is their coach

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Dec 1, 2015 -> 07:09 AM) UIC shut down after suspect threatens to 'avenge' McDonald University of Chicago, not UIC.

Karma's a b****, ain't it Tom? Looks like all the cheating is catching up to him.

Tom Brady- "I've never been more pissed after a loss"

Todd Frazier is just what the Sox need- a low-mid batting average, power hitter from the NL

I've always maintained that a man needs two things to be truly happy in life. He must be in love with his work, and he must be in love with his wife.
