Chicago White Sox Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 05:07 PM) Why? He should be making his next start for us...chances are he's not going to be traded Are they just going to skip his start altogether? I guess I was assuming he'd start tomorrow, but maybe you're right. There is still hope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan49 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 05:07 PM) I wonder if they are just saving him for the Cub series. Possibly to go against Arrieta? The Sox are idiotic but this would be at another level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lip Man 1 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Let him pitch against the Cubs. Fine by me. He's probably not going Sunday either since Robin will be cautious. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 QUOTE (Tony @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 05:27 PM) If there is a 1% chance of Sale being traded, he shouldn't make another start for the Sox. There is NO upside to that. The cold excuse is lame, but it is what it is. Sit him until you decide what you're doing. They may not even get this game in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) Pitching Albers is just conceding another game. Pretty poor when an organization is so poor it has to concede a game. Doesn't have anybody to pick up a spot start. Trading Sale is a very bad idea. If you are gonna trade a guy you don't handle it this way. I'm telling you, organizations are quickly evaluating huge-name prospects that they believe will be like Avi, flops. Those are the guys the Sox will acquire. Remember how high a draft pick Beckham was?? This is how you sit in last place for 5-10 years. Making bulls*** trades at the wrong time. Our trade window has already closed for this year as far as I'm considered. Highway robbery coming. Edited July 23, 2016 by greg775 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 It's a good point by Tony. Just dont play him while other teams are still calling. Start him after the 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are going to rebuild, the name of the game is getting as high a draft pick as possible for 3-5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
