I just don’t think it would be as horrible as people make it out to be if it happened. But yea I get the whole typical Sox move, needing change , get someone from the outside and let them choose their coaches etc

Great point and it sounds like you just described Ozzie (as far as what the team needs in a manager) 😆

As soon as I saw the thread title I knew you made this thread mike haha. Anyways I'll always appreciate hawk and all but just don't like him anymore. I really dislike how he ignores things that stone says and how he gets quiet and certain things like kc special is tiring. I understand he's a big fan, a homer but he needs to be a bit more professional, when they're losing. Love Benetti and stone

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 26, 2015 -> 03:31 PM) Volquez is getting every pitch. I don't recall him being this accurate Only 3 walks issued this season going into today had 70 something last year. Interesting lol

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 26, 2015 -> 09:47 AM) I didn't and wouldn't suggest Anderson. And if you think he will end up at .179, that's your prerogative. A 36 year old player shouldn't be getting top prospects in return It was a joke(hence the smiley) and of course he won't and just saying they won't be giving him away for leury. I'm talking about them not what anyone is saying here

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Apr 26, 2015 -> 09:44 AM) No one suggested giving up Anderson for anyone, let alone an over the hill Aramis Ramirez. No one did but that's what the Rangers would ask for, one of the better prospects. They're not going to dump him. Even if his value at this point were, for example, Sanchez, I don't think they'd even do that, I seem to recall reading somewhere they want him to retire there(since he's probably a future hofer), >and I never mentioned aramis

QUOTE (daggins @ Apr 26, 2015 -> 09:40 AM) Cheap rentals on older guys with playoff experience. If it comes to rentals. Aramis Ramirez seems like 2012 Youkilis right now, struggling on a struggling team, although no one is obviously pushing him out. Carlos Ruiz is still reasonably good and likely available. Gerardo Parra in the OF. Guys on expiring contracts. No need to go all in on 2015. You figure even someone like aramis would still cost someone like Sanchez, and idk if I would want to give up Sanchez for a rental player, I still think he has value. One of those nice bench players you can have year after year(replace bonifacio eventually) or if Micah gets hurt or struggles too much

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 26, 2015 -> 09:30 AM) Personally I would go for Adrian Beltre. High price tag but that defense offense combo even at his age is pretty hard to come by He's hitting .179, he'd fit right in Idk, he's 36 , making 18mil next year, would be tough to give someone up, like Anderson, for a 36 year old

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Apr 24, 2015 -> 12:32 AM) I never thought I'd see the day where the Royals may be my most hated team. I hate The Tigers and their fans, But even before this game, I hated kc more. I hope they squash kc every time they face each other and if the sox can't win the division I hope Detroit does. Kc and their fans , acting like theyve been perennial winners

Ugh sucks to have lost this game and we have no idea what to expect from the next 3 starters although if we don't hit it won't matter. So disappointing

With Herrera getting suspended 5 games, any chance he misses some games this weekend? I'm sure he'll appeal but not sure how long that process is?

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 19, 2015 -> 05:27 PM) Other than Drabek, Putnam would be the guy I axe despite his ERA last year. I don't think Albers has looked that bad. Putnam has arguably looked the worst and as you said, he should t have a spot secured based off one good season he's had

Sorry if it was posted, how many years left does robin have on his contract? IMO, the sox will never fire him but I could see them not renewing his contract when it's up

Is robin going to use bonifacio at all?lol

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Apr 12, 2015 -> 12:26 PM) Tigers already up 3-0 in top of 1st. After Cabrera 2 run HR, Martinez hit in ribs, warnings were issued. Still in the top of the 1st. 6-1 now lol that line up is so good. At this rate, they won't even need a good bullpen or back end starters lol

Watching the royals, man they're good. I know it's only the first week, but this team is playing like they did in the playoffs and you could argue they're better this year. Like I said , still early, but I remember most experts choosing them to finish 4th, yea that's not happening lol

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 02:31 PM) Embarrassing effort, considering Danks has given up just the 1 run. Volquez could pitch a 90 pitch CG SO at this rate. Even if he doesn't get a complete game, were in the Herrera/Davis/holland part of the pen now

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 9, 2015 -> 12:00 PM) why is my MLB.com app telling me that this game starts in 10 minutes I have the at bat app too and it said the same, thought it was just me. good to know its just a glitch

I'm surprised they went with volquez instead of Guthrie since he always seems to own the sox but I'll take volquez instead , not going to complain lol

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 3, 2015 -> 08:23 AM) Tigers close to acquiring a reliever. Hopefully recently released Jose valverde

Here's a more in depth look from the sox Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=101538...e=2&theater >>oh and the 2.5m renovation was tax payer funded, which has some people upset, mainly Cub fans lol

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Mar 7, 2015 -> 02:16 PM) Hmmm can't get the feed to work for some reason. I couldn't get it to work on my tablet or phone either, worked on my laptop though

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 6, 2015 -> 02:51 PM) Beckham is bench player. Beckham is bench player. Beckham is bench player. Imo, beckham>>>>>>leury so my expectations aren't very high lol

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 2, 2015 -> 02:06 PM) Chris Rose ‏@ChrisRose 36m36 minutes ago New @whitesox @DRob30 said he picked Chi over Yanks b/c "they gave me a better chance to win". Agree, why/not? Who knows if it's true but supposedly the Yankees never made an offer to robertson. Probably knew what he was asking for, shopped around and chose to save those 10mil by signing miller instead and go with betances as the closer. Imo, the term "chose" should be used when 2 teams(or more) offer around the same years and $$$ and then the players chooses where to go. Think it's dumb when the offers aren't really close and they say chose so and so team, like with the whole lester chose the Cubs over the Red Sox (Cubs offered 155Mil/plus 30mil signing bonus/can get up to 170mil, plus perks like jet use, Red Sox offered only 135)
