Griffin Herring is one of the prospects coming back. Griffin Herring College, Amateur & Minor Leagues Statistics | Baseball-Reference.com

He went on the restricted list April 7th, then was assigned to the ACL in June. Maybe he retired, or something.

I originally thought a 2-4 homestand against the Cubs and Phils would be realistic.

Puts the final nail in the Robbie Grossman coffin.

I did!! And they didn't when I said they should, and it all collapsed!! They should really take my calls more.

Wait, I thought Tim Elko should start every game for the next year and a half. Apparently, Tim Elko is not in YOUR plans.

The front office phone number is right on the website. I don't know how other teams are about his, but the White Sox have always been cool with information when I call them out of the blue.

certainly cuts into the Ryan Noda market. And ... oh, great

Old friend of everybody.

Or it isn't. As I've said, it's a strange, in-between number that wouldn't satisfy either party. I'm certainly not picking on you. I could see Robert shitting the bed the rest of the season and taking 2/20 with a player opt out after the 1st year, or 4/40 with opt outs after the first 3 years. Jeez, Bergman has what, 3/120? And he has an opt out to retry the market, because he's betting on himself, and he might just do better. The reason being that if Robert doesn't think he can be a guy who commands 10/300 +, then he probably isn't, and they can get that cheaper on year-to-year deals.

Maybe he just wants to keep the team together through the Cub series and is bluffing to see if he can get an extra DSL arm, or something.

I still think that Lenyn Sosa's a fallback in the 3B bat race.

Nonsense fan accounts:

Robert in "young with upside" tier of available OFs: Phillies trade deadline targets: How can this outfield get bolstered? | PhillyVoice

Teams in on Cease - Yanks, Red Sox, Blue Jays, Rays, Cubs, Mets.

I'm not even seeing the blogger generated 6 player deals, or ChiSoxFanMike writing columns about fake trades.

It's pretty dead out there. Not even much in the line of "Reds showing interest in....". Seeing as Houser, Tauchman, Robert and the BP arms are all fallback options (maybe except for Robert), I'm guessing there won't be any real noise until after the Cub carnival, maybe even into the Phillies' series.
