Buehrle>Wood 1,318 Posted September 16, 2015 QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Sep 16, 2015 -> 05:47 PM) How so? If Olt wasn't playing, you probably see Saladino at third and neither Sanchez nor Micah at short so explain. I'd love to see Carlos play ss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's just not the same without his wit and charm. lol. Everything about this franchise is stale and old. Wheels are coming off everywhere including in the broadcast booth. Why the Sox continue to put up with Hawk's' poor health and inability to sit in the booth when the team sucks in September is beyond me. I guess like many loyal employees he's earned the right to fire himself from the ORG. They extended it to RV and KW, might as well extend it to Hawk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't be opposed to gutting the entire organization from top to bottom except for Hawk, Sale, and Rodon. Sale is one the best in the game, so he can stay, Rodon has a ton of potential, and Hawk is an all-time legend that should be in the booth for however long he wants to. Everyone else can F off and I wouldn't care. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Q is fantastic but I hope he's traded for the best package of bats the Sox can get. Unless they wanna package some prospects together(Not apposed to this as long as it isn't Anderson/Fulmer/Adams/Alvarez((yes I'm super high on Alvarez))) trading Q is the best way to get back the offense they need.

This is my thought as well. There's already decent depth in the rotation even if he is traded. Sale/Rodon/Danks/Johnson/Someone else isn't too bad for next year and then Fulmer and one of Danish/Montas/Adams/Beck/etc in 2017 can replace Danks and the #5 guy.

Well he was going to cut back this year until he was fooled into thinking the Sox would be challenging for a playoff spot. Wait until he sees what the front office does in year two of the "plan"!

JUSTgottaBELIEVE 907 Posted September 17, 2015 White sox are 1-8 in sharks starts since July 30th. If they had gone 5-4 they'd be 3 games back of the wild card with a win tonight. That's the margin of error in today's baseball. If shark had actually Pitched like a true number 2 or 3 like they thought they were getting the white sox might actually be leading the wild card 2nd spot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
