    Thank Harang for his service and he exceeded all expectations and then some. As you all know, I did not like the signing at all and all pun aside...the guy came up huge and gave us innings all year....but I'm glad he's not coming back. I was just waiting for some type of implosion all season and thankfully it never happened.

    White Sox have quietly had a quality offseason.

    Bruce Levine of 670thescore.com tweets that Bonifacio will earn $3MM in 2015, and the option is valued at $4MM with a $1MM buyout.

    I would have liked Harang back at that rate. Sounds like DOB is saying Braves did too. Maybe Harang expected more money and years and was too proud to go back to the Braves after saying he'd get more.

    I don't see that ballpark being a good fit for Harang on a 1 year deal.

    Bonafacio.......don't care. I have to wonder if Cunningham could do his role if given the chance.

    We can get Harang back when he is DFA'd in June or July.

    Given what he settled for it seems Harang and/or his agent cost him a two year deal. At least they claim they had two year offers early on. If true I guess they waited it out for a better deal and ended up having to settle for a one year deal.

    Would have liked Boni but at 4 mil even for a year is pricy.

    Harang was running on fumes last year, even at that price is fine, but i'd take someone else.

    Harang is going to struggle in Philly. He should have checked back with us first before signing with them. Enjoy, Aaron.

    Yeah, Philly's OF defense will rival ours this year. Ben Revere, Grody Sizemore, and Dom Brown. Revere has sick speed but horrible instincts. Grady Sizemore doesn't have anything speed wise really left in the tank, and never really had an amazing arm, and is moving from CF to RF where the arm camp is much stronger, and then there's Dom Brown, he had the physical tools (remember he was a super highly regarded prospect) but I've seen him drop can of corn pop outs.

    That is a completely trash OF. I would bet BJ and Markakis are both better defenders than any of them.

    BJ is the best defender of the projected 6 by a country mile. Markakis blows too. But not as much as Sizemore. The difference between Jason and Markakis is liekly almost a 30 run difference.
