bigruss Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 13, 2011 -> 07:49 AM) Yes, it does. Teams looking for pitching to get over that proverbial hump aren't looking at Phil Humber as that difference maker. Well Im sure some teams would be intrigued by what Humber could offer, but they won't be calling because they know that to get HUmber now would take an overpay for what he's currently worth.

Jake Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I wouldn't mind taking Poreda. Lost all command when he went to SD. Maybe change in philosophy or something of that sort, maybe coincidence. Always had good stuff. If you read the scouting reports, he seemed to be a bigger talent than Sale (with less of a track record) when we drafted him. Of course, Sale came in with much higher velocity than we expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't just disregard the contract and the money the Sox are paying him, as well as the money the Padres saved by dumping him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I leave the qs who should we try to acquire and what needs. Ya the hitting has been horrendous save for a select few but the guys that suck all have heavy contracts and track record that no way Ozzie would bench.

kapzk Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Ok I have heard plenty of rumbling lately on MLB league realignment. They are thinking of making each league carry 15 teams rather than the current 16 to 14. Also have been talks to get rid of divisions and let top 5 teams make the playoffs from each league. Â Now this would be a big blow to the White Sox, since their legit playoffs chances are from the crowning of the AL Central. Imagine if top 5 teams make it, then we gotta compete with: Red Sox, Yankees, Rangers, Rays, Blue Jays, Tigers. Heck Blue Jays and Rays may be even better since they will no longer have that many games vs their AL east rivals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I don't know why you would want him on the roster. He's grossly overpaid and we can 'win' without him. Trade him to Philly now for a couple minor league arms with promise.

Alex Rios...?  Phillies are too left-handed, we're too right handed. I wouldn't completely rule out something centered around Tank for Domonic Brown.  Unlikely, I know.   http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/news/artic...ws&c_id=cws  They gotta do SOMEthing with the Tank soon, and they know it. At least the questions are being asked. I'd say the pressure really is on JP right now more than any other player, and Ozzie can't stand by him forever.  Someone seems to have forgotten that Juan hasn't been DFA'd, yet:  "That's going to be the trio of Chicago," said Viciedo of an outfield including himself, Quentin and Rios, with Quentin potentially moving back to left.   Edited June 13, 2011 by Stan Bahnsen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
