Could Heyward be the cubs next Soriano?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 11, 2015 -> 07:44 AM) Shes giving solid advice, take it. Yes she is. I heard similar advice in the same situation about 15 years ago and I took the advice. If someone doesn't know what they want then the only thing to do is detach, let go and move on. Sometimes things do happen for good reason.

QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 09:12 PM) oops my bad i thought it was a final verdict. . but seriously that was some funny s***. Thank you sir. Just trying to liven things up a bit. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 11, 2015 -> 10:01 AM) Lots of years and s***tons of money You aren't kidding! This could be a fun weekend if Heyward signs today with Cespedes, Upton and Gordon possible signing shortly after Heyward.

Ya, I don't think anyone is outraged. Just don't see the big dilemma about a day dream.

QUOTE (woods of ypres @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 07:09 PM) Bump: If a woman tells you something along the lines of "don't wait, I don't know when there will be time", "you're a free man, you need to find someone without kids", and "I don't want you to get hurt by me.", she's letting you down easy, right? That says if all right there my man. If she's saying these things then do yourself a favor and listen to her or you could very well push her away.

Gotta watch those psychedelics.... man. Seriously. Nothing to be torn about since a deal like that would never happen.

QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 10:04 PM) Funny thing though is his defense has remained consistent(positive play actually). So that's a little interesting. It has and I give him credit but his bat, suspected salary and comp pick makes me want to run away screaming like Anna Faris in scary movie.

I would much rather go with Saladino over signing Desmond who has been trending downward for a few years.

Dude is all muscle and its easy to see why the ball jumps off his bat the way it does.

QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 09:02 PM) oh man that was extremely funny and org. btw i am soooo freaking happy about heyward moving to dc I'm just havin' a bit of fun to pass the time. There's probably a heck of a bidding war going on between the Nat's, Angels, Cards and baby bears. Really curious to see which ones caughs up the money and for how much.

Awefully quiet on the Heyward front. I'm really curious to see what the new contract will look like.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 08:16 PM) I love you. I love you too man.

I'm with you guys. Would like to see what Thompson can do playing everyday and see if his bat progresses.

Weather Alert: flash flood warning for the North Side of Chicago. A high pressure system of over zealous expectations by fans of that area will produce heavy rains from the eyes of said fans after tropical storm Heyward moves to the DC area. Heavy rains are expected to continue in the wake of tropical storm Heyward indefinitely. Take caution and plan accordingly for provisions such as rain gear, canned food, ear plugs, duct tape and it would be especially beneficial if one knows how to build a boat. End weather statement.

In an effort to redeem myself, remove my dunce cap and get out of the corner, I present to you the latest I could dig up which is from December 9th. I know its juuuuuuust a bit early and to be taken with a grain of salt but I'm trying to get to know some names so I can follow them when the season starts in February. http://www.mymlbdraft.com/MLB-Mock-Draft

Get rid of him. Fourth outfielder. Why doesn't anyone want to give him a chance?

If Avi is with the Sox next season I'd guess its more likely he would platoon DH with Melky and serve as a 4th outfielder. Assuming the Sox sign/trade for another outfielder.

If the Sox are to sign a FA OF include me with the Cespedes crowd.

Jaime-f***ing-Navarro!!!

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 03:23 PM) People in my office are hooting and hollering right now because they heard Heyward signed with the Cubs, can anyone confirm? Nothing on MLBTR and I also did a quick Google search and came up empty. I'm not on twitter so maybe somethings there?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 02:27 PM) It's ok to root for your team, but I laugh whenever we make moves in the winter people assume they are GOOD moves. Lawrie is what he is (cliche). He's not going to emerge as a star. QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 02:31 PM) I just think he's another Beckham, that's all. People love him now cause they love the mystery of a new player. His stats reeked last year and with all those strikeouts he must be another uncoachable guy whiffing at that rate. Ya don't say?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 12:58 PM) That article was... why did I read that? That was awful. I'm pretty sure that writer knows nothing about how the draft works. Sorry, I'll put my dunce cap on and go stand in the corner for a time out. Agreed, it is horrible and that's why I found it amusing. I'm not sure the writer knows anything about baseball.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 01:36 PM) Not in the least bit surprised the Pirates turned that down, I would too. LaRoche's lack of value is why I've accepted he will be in a Sox uni next season and why I keep saying to use him as a bench bat. Late innings pinch hitter/ defensive replacement etc. Use him in a lesser role and see if he comes around. Whoops, I should have put my post here.

Lamb has an odd delivery in that his right foot lands towards the first base side instead of towards home plate. Not nit-picking just thinking the Sox see a nice project for Cooper. Video of Lamb vs Micah

It's Will Lamb LHP from the Rangers.
