southsider2k5 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 8, 2014 -> 10:28 AM) There will be big "failure/the end of the chapter" stories written about Dunn and Beckham if they depart, but that will be about it. That is also when we learn if there is any dirt on those guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt there is dirt on Dunn. If there was, it would have come out after 2011 IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 8, 2014 -> 10:27 AM) You can bet they have. The difference is that our front office doesn't leak this stuff, and the local media isn't determined enough to find it out. Odds are that by now the entire team, or close to it, has been through waivers. I am well aware of how the systems works. My point is, if all the guys have already been put out there, that means either all of them cleared, or were claimed and pulled back, considering it has already been over a week since the deadline. I was hoping at least Dunn would be a goner by now, but he probably cleared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 I assume the waiver sheet looks something like this White Sox Bullpen That would be cool if the Sox could do that. Somebody puts in a claim and the Sox just give the other team the entire bullpen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spend all day reading about how these guys all suck, but yet there is some expectation that other teams want our pile of suck? I don't get that. Posters aren't smarter than GM's. If people on Soxtalk have figured out players suck, so have the GM's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still struggle to believe that Billy Beane wouldn't have $4 million to spend for the rest of this season by claiming Adam Dunn, especially after they just removed a middle of the order, high power, high strikeout bat in Cespedes.

Looking at their roster, I think they are more in need of RH bat, not a lefty bat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Baltimore could definitely find a spot for Dunn, especially with the struggles of Chris Davis this year, although Nelson Cruz has only played about half of the Orioles games in the outfield.

kitekrazy Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 8, 2014 -> 09:29 AM) Bucholz has $12 million guaranteed for 2015 and $750k in buyouts. There are $13 million team options in 2016 and 2017 if the buyouts aren't taken. Since returning from the DL on June 25 his ERA is 5.40. In his last 2 starts he has given up 7 runs in 5 innings both times. Sounds like a challenge for the bullpen to top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Food for thought. http://www.royalsreview.com/2014/8/7/59672...e-possibilities I would imagine it is still early for teams to jump on the waiver wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
