Saufley Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 11, 2015 -> 12:27 PM) I'm not that upset over this honestly. Yeah, his defense is great but he has only 15 homer power. That's not worth $200 million in my mind. I'm with you on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chetkincaid Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 11, 2015 -> 12:24 PM) Where did I say any of that? I was alluding to the 3 teams in the running for him as I said the previous day. No I'm not mocking you. I'm saying that myself. We're going to be hurting next year if things stay the same because the cubs are going to take over Chicago even more. Who's other than us is going to want to go see the White Sox? There will be even lower attendance, which means lower money available for payroll, which means no significant free agent signings even with LaRoche and Danks falling off. We'll have to go to war with what we already have in house, and against the cubs that won't be good enough for the casual baseball fans in Chicago. We're doomed.

DirtySox Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Cubs are going to be real fun to watch again this year. They have to go after more pitching now I imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Dec 11, 2015 -> 12:25 PM) And they now have an expendable Soler to trade for one. It amazes me the value Soler seems to have around the league. He isn't much of an upgrade from Avi, and supposedly can't hit breaking pitches at all.

But somehow they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing to me Baez has as much value as they make it seem. Castro didn't have anything remotely near the value the Cubs and their press made it seem, so I guess there's that.

Kalapse Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 11, 2015 -> 12:27 PM) I'm not that upset over this honestly. Yeah, his defense is great but he has only 15 homer power. That's not worth $200 million in my mind. Elite defense, real good speed, solid bat, good walk rate, great K rate and the power potential is there as he enters his age 26 season. Plus without knowing the details, there's a chance this ends up being something like a 4 year, 80M-90M deal with the Cubs getting his full prime.

Y2Jimmy0 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 The thing that's annoying is the Sox don't move up in the draft because the Cubs already forfeited their 1st rounder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chetkincaid Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 11, 2015 -> 12:25 PM) Cubs winning the World Series would put the sox pretty close to their death bed if they stay bad. Especially if they go on a Yankees - like run and string together a bunch of World Series titles with a 6 - 10 year period. They will own this town. The White Sox will feel like the Schaumburg Boomers or the Kane County Cougars to casual baseball fans here. Soxtalk will be able to have a meet and greet anytime we want at a game for about $2 a ticket because we will be the only ones still going. I feel like Private Hudson in Aliens... "Game over, man... game over". We're all gonna die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way i'm doing that is if there's only 3 or maybe 4 guaranteed years on the deal. Even then it's gonna be tough to get surplus value out of that contract.

Friend of Nordhagen Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 WCUB (the Score) is now in full TheoJedMaddonSchwarberBryantCubs jerk-off mode. Anyway, last year was the Cubs' free ride.

OmarComing25 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Welp. They're WS favorites now for sure, but even the favorite has what, a 20% chance at getting it done? Just have to hope someone else takes them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
