Jose Abreu

QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 7, 2014 -> 12:04 PM) Should have resigned earlier in the offseason. Doing it now is just plain stupid. Agreed, especially considering he knows our offseason plans better than almost anyone in our FO. I wouldn't want the Blue Jays FO knowing about them.

This is a weekly thread now... we aren't trading Chris Sale.

When we were interested in him a few seasons ago, wasn't he quoted saying he hates pitching at our ballpark?

Greinke>Samardzija, so it all depends on the cost and whether or not this is part of an Alexei deal, which it probably would have to be.

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 3, 2014 -> 03:28 PM) It's Medlen. This board just can't seem to spell RHP names right.

MVP

QUOTE (chw42 @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 09:38 PM) This is probably one of his worst games of the year, unfortunately. I agree, yet he still is putting up 21/8/6.

Thank God for Jimmy Butler

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 09:34 PM) Better not see the floor the rest of the game. What an imbecile. Thibs loves him no matter what. I'm sure he'll get some more PT

HINRICH!!!??? JFC

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 7s7 seconds ago #WhiteSox did/will tender contracts to Dayan Viciedo, Tyler Flowers, Javy Guerra, Hector Noesi and Nate Jones before 10:59 pm deadline.

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 52s52 seconds ago #WhiteSox declined to tender contracts to Scott Snodgress and Scott Carroll. Moves leaves 40-man at 39.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Nov 30, 2014 -> 08:58 PM) It's impossible to choose between Jerry Owens and Andy Gonzalez. Don't forget about the great Ryan Bukvich. That 07 team was the first pro sports team I followed extensively. It was quite the treat.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 01:00 PM) LOL. Sorry guys, if Tim Anderson's best friends know this news, it would be broke by now. Big media sources know this before the minor league players do. Or at least know the deal is finalized if not the players. Green was probably necessary for the last part of that post.

Response to the "Stay Down Until You Come Up 100" tweet: Rick Slattery ‏@rickslat123 3m3 minutes ago @TimAnderson7 enjoy Oakland. But glad to see Shark and Upton on the southside. Could be a random guy, or could be his best friend.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 12:43 PM) Just getting here, can someone please repost this Tim Anderson tweet everyone's talking about? Digging through the thread but can't find it and don't know how far to go back. The reaction to the tweet was from pages 19-21.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 12:48 PM) There was a 100 emoji at the end of that...so "Stay down until you come up 100"....maybe the sad faces had to do with some sort of injury. Maybe when he realized the pizza was being overcooked, he pulled it out without an oven mitt and burned his hand.

At least we know there's definitely something here. MLBTR picked it up about 20 minutes ago, and the Tim Anderson deleted tweet still has me confused.

QUOTE (shipps @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 11:08 AM) That would be a hell of a coincidence in my opinion. And then to take it down after the fact? Well yes, to take it down because of the "good luck in Oakland" replies.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 11:04 AM) So the question is did he delete it because he realized he would cause a s*** storm and he meant something else, or because he is really traded and is not supposed to let it go public until it is announced. Exactly, that's the question. Maybe his girlfriend broke up with him, maybe his car broke down, maybe he overcooked his pizza. Like another posted already mentioned, it could be another Marquis Teague situation.

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 10:41 AM) If I had to chose, gimme Upton with an extension over Samardjiza. I know Upton is less likely but a 3,4,5 of Abreu, LaRoche, Upton is pretty solid. It would be a lot more than pretty solid. I feel like Samardzija is being a bit overrated here while Justin Upton, or at least his hitting, is being underrated.

QUOTE (Sockin @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 11:00 AM) It's been deleted. SOMETHING'S HAPPENING. Interesting.

Anderson's friend tweeted at him "best of luck to you in Oakland bud"

Semien just seems like a Billy Beane type of player. Isn't he from Oakland?
