Four quarterbacks and two running backs were named Heisman Trophy finalists on Monday.

Quarterbacks Jordan Lynch of Northern Illinois, Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M, AJ McCarron of Alabama and Jameis Winston of Florida State were all invited to the Heisman ceremony on Saturday (8 p.m. ET, ESPN).

Auburn's Tre Mason and Boston College's Andre Williams are the running backs.

Never fails. At least we get a link to ESPN. I'm not in the habit of giving them page hits when I don't need to.

From Rosenthal

Per @keithlaw, Eaton would go to #WhiteSox as part of three-team deal with Trumbo going to #DBacks, Skaggs-plus to #Angels.

Eaton is a nice player.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

Hector Santiago to the Angels.

Love this trade for the Sox and Angels. Dbacks lose this one big time.

What would the Sox give up in this trade?

Hector Santiago...

I like this.

I like this.

Eaton is the definition of a really nice player. Flawed, but he's very toolsy.

Still, the Sox are going to have lots of problems getting on base.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

So, it's not done yet. It's basically if they sign Choo, they'll drop this deal.

If the sign Choo, Rosenthal said they'll trade for a SP (Samardzija?)

If they sign Trumbo, they'll sign a SP (Jiminez, Garza, etc...)

Regardless, it's good for the Cubs, so I'm happy.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

SOX may have a prospect coming back with Eaton as well.

Rule 5 eligible guy. Don't get excited.

For like 5 minutes they thought it was Howie Kendrick. I was like WTF

Clarifying: White Sox obtain one player in the trade, outfielder Adam Eaton.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Not impressed with this deal

Eaton hasn't panned out so far and has suffered some bigtime injuries

 

[IU Hawks fan]

Standard BWC

Give the guy a full season before you decide if he's panned out FFS!

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

When giving up a quality young pitcher ,, I would prefer to get a player back who hasn't had a major elbow injury , Is proven and didn't fall from the top ranks of previous organizations top prospects

 

[MurrayBannerman]

You drastically over value Santiago.

Eaton is going to be a 2-3 WAR CFer and likely a leadoff hitter.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

CF and leadoff locked up for the foreseeable future for their 4th ranked LHP.

SKY IS FALLING!!

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

CF and leadoff locked up for the foreseeable future for their 4th ranked LHP.

SKY IS FALLING!!

A guy you hope can be CF and leadoff hitter

Also a guy with very weak fielding ability I may add ,, Get ready for Nick Swisher caliber CF defense
