49 PAs. LOL.

Dan Hayes has since said on a FutureSox podcast that Keaschul was absolutely not available. Hayes' reporting was that Keaschul's name "was mentioned", not that a done deal was on the table.

It's really a lot longer list if you're comparing Vargas to guys who were absolutely not available to the Sox.

It's the color scheme for the Boston Marathon, and is in homage to the 2013 Marathon at which the bombing happened. So I think Boston fans would be the inverse opposite of insulted.

Clevenger's the mangy dog hanging around your back door. You feed him, he's yours. Everybody else knows to shoo him away.

Chris Rodriguez starts are basically bullpen games. They need innings eaten. He can replace Schuster as a tandem to C-Rod.

He's resting. First Vargas off-day.

They have two shortstops and an emergency third on the 26-man. DFA Amaya already, and bring up one of DeLoach/Fletcher/Colas, already. Two of those guys could play reasonable RF and OPS you the .432 Palacios has limped to so far. Amaya will probably be the price paid for our Drury indulgence.

I trolled you for a few days, and you're still not over it. LOL. You are a walking tangent. I follow other teams, music, read up a lot on history, have a few TV shows going, and strangely enough, I don't make a string about a Crochet interview about Medieval Polish history.

I really have no idea where you're going, here. Are you angry because I'm not joining you in pretending that the White Sox "failed" to develop a guy who played 3 full seasons in our minor league system, then put up 4 above-average major league seasons of production? Hostetler wasn't good at his job, or couldn't work within the confines provided, and Paddy wasn't very good at his job. They graduated their prospects, then had little to nothing behind them. Which of the voices in your head is spinning that? It's nothing like taking credit for Tatis, who never stepped foot in a White Sox minor league clubhouse. Tatis played 288 minor league games in the Padres' system, so again, I have no idea what you're talking about. This is a White Sox message board. There's really no reason to talk about the Padres or Dodgers. Pace yourself on your victory lap over that.

Yes, they're clear development wins. They don't become "undeveloped" because they got injured, or got old quick, or couldn't readjust to the league.

No, it's very easy to say that Robert and Jimenez were clear wins, because it's true. Injuries don't erase the history of them being developed. That's silliness.

SSHM posts regularly at SoxMachine. I don't think Clevenger is what keeps him away from here.

Yes, if you eliminate all of the players who were successfully developed, it is a true statement to say we haven't developed anybody. LMAO

We're 18 games into the season. April is traditionally Robert's worst month for production. May is one of his best.

So you're saying they're absolutely going to lose 132 games?

Good, then the abused baby mama has more to sue for. I hope she gets it all. I want my taxes to pay for schools, and I want my White Sox entertainment money to go towards unwed mothers.

About taking wild guesses for idle conversation? Please tell me where I'm advocating DFAing everybody right now. I surmise that Slater could come off the IL facing a full 26 and 40 man situation. Sure, all 6 of their veteran OF options could keep see-sawing on and off the IL through July 31st. But by then, Brooks Baldwin and Ramos could force the issue for OF time.

Yeah, but Sosa has shown he can hit enough to be a productive Andrew Vaughn, which is what we have now. All things being equal (like hitting like s%*# well into May) Sosa's cheaper, and is out of options. They're going to keep looking at internal options and grabbing the odd Corey Julks off the waiver wire.
