CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 05:34 AM) 1 - trade Micah Johnson instead. 2- awful; 3- very solid 4- ugh Wait ! Weren't you against trading Micah for Brett Lawrie in the Lawrie thread when I posted it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsoxhurt35 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 With the signing of Grienke to ARI, I love my prediction now. LAD need to come up with a good starter. Have 3 draft picks and would lose one signing a Leake, Cueto, Shark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bear_brian Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 10:12 PM) Trades for Lawrie White Sox get: Brett Lawrie As get: Erik Johnson and Thaddius Lowry Trades for CarGo and DJ LeMahieu White Sox get: CarGo and LeMahieu Rockies get: Frankie Montas, Adam LaRoche, Carlos Sanchez and Avi Garcia Bold trade prediction White Sox trade Jose Quintana to the Dodgers White Sox get: Joc Pederson, Jose DeLeon and Austin Barnes Dodgers get: Jose Quintana Then after Hahn makes a flurry of trades, signs two pitchers: Doug Fister 1 year $9 million Trevor Cahill 1 year $4.5 million plus incentives (Coop'll fix him) Ok let's see how bad I get crucified I like most of what you predict, but I would change to the following (with an associated crucifixion as well): Lawrie for Chris Beck and Jacob May CarGo only for LaRoche, Montas and Garcia Sale (not Q) to the Dodgers for Seager, Puig and Barnes Sign Pfister These moves, if at all possible, would really improve our offense from last year, allow us to replace bad OF defense, and have us hope that a combination of Pfister, Eric Johnson and Jacob Turner could replace the 24 wins of Sale and Samardzija.

spiderman Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Will the White Sox be content with filling their holes with stop-gap type players or will they attempt to shake things up with some significant trade? The White Sox rumor mill has been radio silence - the news of Flowers becoming a free agent was seen as a surprise, and Hahn's public comments were what made news of a 2nd catcher addition being close. There was a rumor about Nova, Lawrie, maybe Frazier, some drum beat around Quintana, but this has all just been speculation, not confirmed talks between teams. No idea if the White Sox will be patient (which isn't their usual style) and see which free agent bargains exist after the heavy spending or if they jump in to a free agent aquistion that hasn't been talked about or trade. I just hope that the White Sox pick a lane. Will there be a difference maker added to this lineup? This lineup needs legitimate hitters 3-6 and there are only 2 on the roster (Abreu and maybe Melky). They need another all-star in that lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, we could have some late night activity. Yes they do. MLB Network will have a live special in about 20 minutes from Nashville. Also, I wonder if Sox and Cubs would agree upon a Q & Robertson deal for Wilson Contreras, Jorge Soler, Javier Baez and filler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitetrain8601 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Bob Nightengale predicted the Sox sign Upton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I like the idea of signing Heyward to an 8 year deal with an opt out after year 4, as he'd clearly test the market again at that point. The Sox would only be on the hook for his age 26-30 seasons, which would most likely be the prime of his career. Can't go wrong there IMO.

Heyward is obviously going to be more expensive than Upton, but he is just such a better fit for this team. Upton is a solid player but he's at best mediocre in the field and Ks a ton. I just don't think he fits all that well on this team. Heyward on the other hand... But signing Upton would signal that the Sox plan to contend, and I like that.
