Shields is a joke. He doesn't have anything to prove? He's fine with that 7.00 ERA? Good god.

I've been a somewhat big fan of the NBA since the 04-05 season...and this is by far the least interested I've ever been. Golden State and Cleveland in the Finals...again. Mark it down. It just isn't exciting anymore.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 16, 2017 -> 07:38 AM) Dude DID YOU JUST INCLUDE THE F*CKING BUCKS ON A LIST WITHOUT UPSIDE? Also, the Nuggets are on the rise. Jesus, Jokic is a f***ing monster. The Kings have a superstar so that helps them. Pistons suck. Hornets are basically the Bulls, so they are no good. BUT JESUS MAN THE BUCKS ARE REALLY RISING. If not for Jabari's knee exploding again, they'd have been the team with the biggest upside imo over the next 5 years. The Nuggets are also just a complete joy as already stated. So, Dick Allen, here's your goals for today. 1) get a clue 2) then talk NBA Thanks! Why are you so hostile this morning? Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 15, 2017 -> 04:38 PM) It would be awesome if they wore those jerseys when Boston was in town. They are. It's the ultimate troll job.

Rick Hahn dabbing could also be an option.

I vote for a 6-way banner with Rodon, Anderson, Moncada, Giolito, Kopech, and Collins.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 15, 2017 -> 07:16 AM) I think there is a 0% chance that Moncada, Giolito, Lopez, Fulmer, or Burdi start with the White Sox. They need development time, but more importantly the White Sox need the extra year of control which will happen in late May. Agreed. There is absolutely no reason for any of them to break camp with the big league team and I will be furious if it happens.

Kopech at #5 is a bit surprising. I also think Fulmer is too high and Hansen is too low.

For those not at all interested in the Sox right now, what exactly was interesting about the same 78 win team year in and year out that the Sox have had the past few years?

QUOTE (shipps @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 12:35 PM) Didnt know I would ruffle feathers probably a wrong choice of words. I read a couple recent articles and rumors on twitter that make it seem as if its heating up again. NOTHING IS IMMINENT. My feathers are definitely ruffled. Shame on you.

QUOTE (shipps @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 12:23 PM) I am slow. Is there a direct link to the Pirates trading Cutch and them trading for Q? There is a ton of rumors out there that they want to trade Cutch again. Seems to be heating up on that front. Where are these "tons of rumors"?

Craig MishVerified account ‏@CraigMish Follow More I am told : Potentially season ending injury for Alex Reyes. Tough tough blown for Cardinals.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 12:10 PM) Theoretically could make Reyes available in a trade too. He is easily the most interesting piece in the Cardinals system. It's risky, but ceilings don't get much higher. Obviously it depends on what the injury is, but if anyone knows how to rehab and subsequently keep pitchers healthy, it's the Sox. Who knows. The MRI results will be very important.

Apparently Reyes could be out for the year, so St. Louis might jump back into the Q sweepstakes after all.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 11:26 AM) Apparently Cardinals RHP Alex Reyes didn't pass his physical for ST and will not report to camp yet. Don't know what is wrong with him. If he is out, possible Q to Cardinals? Also, just creating discussion to think of different packages from a different team finally. I think I'd do Weaver, Bader, Kelly, and Perez for Q Would marijuana impact his physical at all? I know he's had problems with that in the past.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 11:17 AM) Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 1m1 minute ago All-Star left-hander Jose Quintana will talk later this morning, but after today will politely decline to discuss trade rumors. #WhiteSox I feel so bad for the poor guy. He doesn't deserve to have swarms of reporters and rumors nagging at him everyday.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 10:23 AM) Doing guys who will be in the minors all season? Is Alec Hansen next? If you want to me to, sure. I love Hansen and hope he dominates in 2017.

You're the real MVP for this. I picked up 3 nice Sox t-shirts for $10 each.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 11:01 AM) What else would he say? That's basically the situation him and all the veterans are in lol I didn't think he'd comment on it at all. Some guys don't like to talk about off the field distractions to the media.

QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 10:52 AM) Succinct https://twitter.com/ChuckGarfien/status/831545820851761152 Damn. That quote is pretty telling and I'd be shocked if Robertson was a part of their long term plans.

I'm so excited for this guy. My predictions - 8-4, 2.61 ERA, 178 K's, 1.18 WHIP, 13.7 K/9, in 18 starts (3 with Winston Salem, 11 with Birmingham, 4 with Charlotte) Innings will probably be monitored for him, so he might not go very deep into his starts, but I expect him to post ridiculous K numbers in 2017.

Eddie Gamboa DFAed. Huge news.

Why the f*** can't the Sox take Bastardo if that's the deal-breaker right now?

It's so nice to have a surplus of arms that could potentially be ace-like quality.
