QUOTE (Tony @ Dec 28, 2016 -> 06:35 PM) Yeah, I can't figure it out either. How exactly is my original comment pretentious? I'm just calling things how they are and I know other people feel the same way. Perhaps I worded the post wrong but being pretentious wasn't my intention.

QUOTE (Tony @ Dec 28, 2016 -> 06:12 PM) Being passionate and being irrational are two different things. We can get back on topic now. Not sure why the pretentious, condescending rebuttals are necessary, but whatever.

QUOTE (Tony @ Dec 28, 2016 -> 06:00 PM) No, I don't agree with him and I've made that clear. But everyone has a right to state their opinion. You off all people calling him was the pot calling the kettle black, however. Very black. Fair enough, but I never said that he couldn't have an opinion and I'm not sure how my age is relevant to anything. I'm just a passionate Sox fan that wants the best for the sake of the team. I'm fully on board with this rebuild and hope they can continue the path they're on by trading Q for a haul.

Don't get me wrong, I respect southsider2k5 and normally agree with his opinions. I just feel like his stance on the rebuild is well known at this point and doesn't need to be re-hashed in every thread. He even says himself that he doesn't like catch-all threads and that's exactly what this thread is becoming.

QUOTE (Tony @ Dec 28, 2016 -> 05:02 PM) Says the 16 year old that is in every game thread freaking out. Would you disagree? Seriously, just about everyone is on board with this rebuild and he has to go into every thread and piss in our Cheerios. It's insanely annoying and I wish he'd just create a separate thread to post his thoughts. Combing through these rants in a Quintana thread is unnecessary and annoying. and I'm not going to freak out in game threads anymore. I know next year will be rough, but the future is bright. Very bright. I'm willing to endure some lean years if there is hope in the future.

The only thing I've gotten from this thread today is that southsider2k5 is a whiny baby who is complaining for the sake of complaining.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 27, 2016 -> 02:07 PM) rabbit and Nightengale with White Sox leaks. They usually leak very little. Something is going to happen pretty soon. They don't want these guys with their names out there every day if there's a decent possiblility they are going to be on the team. Too much distraction. YES, YES, YES!!!

QUOTE (striker @ Dec 24, 2016 -> 12:46 PM) Astros might be interested in McCutchen. Astros get McCutchen. Pirates get Quintana and Jones White Sox get Martes, Reed, Hernandez, Glasnow, Keller and Diaz Where did you see this?

I personally think the Jays' interest is overblown and they're solely trying to drive up the price on the Yankees.

SS2K5 is being overdramatic as usual but he has a point. Getting just Moncada and Rutherford as far as hitting goes for Sale, Q, and Eaton is a bit disappointing.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 10:18 PM) Makes me skeptical. It's possible that they're not allowed to tweet anything relevant because of how deep the Sox are in these discussions.

Let's say Q was traded for Glasnow, Bell, Hayes, and Newman. And then the Sox flipped Glasnow for someone like Brendan Rodgers. That would be great.

I'd definitely take Granderson as part of the return if it helped facilitate the trade.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 09:46 AM) WE NEED BATS! Conforto doesn't cut it for me as the only bat coming back for Q. Dominic Smith is a good hitter.

This thread is gigantic. Maybe it'll even pass the Cespedes one from last year in terms of size.

QUOTE (Con te Giolito @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 09:28 AM) Again, that's more than they got for Sale. How do you figure? Moncada > Meadows and Kopech > Glasnow. Hayes and Keller are better than Basabe and Diaz but I think it's fair.

A Meadows/Glasnow/Hayes/Diaz package would be ok, IMO. I'd like Keller too if possible.

You guys think it's going to happen today? Rosenthal tweeting something about it makes me think it's close to a done deal.

What does the Nova signing have to do with their chances of getting Q? You guys think Glasnow might be part of a package since they don't need him anymore?

QUOTE (Dunt @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 02:36 PM) I could see something more along the lines of: Mets get - McCutchen, Jones Pirates get - Q, Conforto Sox get - Meadows, Bell, Newman, Gsellman, Dunn/Plawecki I'd do this if the Sox could get Hayes and Brandon Nimmo as well.

I'm so on board with this. Mets get - McCutchen, Robertson Pirates get - Q, Dominic Smith, Nate Jones Sox get - Conforto, Meadows, Bell, Newman, Dunn That would be fair for everyone IMO.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 09:41 AM) Yah, who wants a dude that got on base 39% of the time last year? He has very little power and you can't possibly expect his OBP numbers to stay at that level as he ascends through the minors.

Newman's minor league stats aren't all that inspiring. Is there something good about him I don't know?
