My preference would be to keep Jose for another year or two. Vaughn will be ready and Jose will be getting older. There is certainly no reason to be trading Jose for a box of rocks. Until reinforcements get here someone has to knock in some runs.

I'm happy with whatever happens in the Colome trade or keep scenario. Getting overpaid for Colome or having him on next years team are both acceptable outcomes.

As constructed...he might be 2 or 3 on this team. Very nice situation to have.

Yes indeed...there is a counter argument for almost anything someone could say.

I want the guy working with Robert at AAA. He even has Engel hitting a little.

If an extension could be reached in the offseason...it could be reached now. Reasonable people are needed on both sides of the negotiation. Both sides want him up yesterday. Both sides don't want to lose millions for a few months of somewhat meaningless games. An actuary could work out the numbers that would be fair to everyone. Baseball has become annoying with all the contract crap that needs to be worked through. Some people say Robert has so much money that he doesn't need to sign an extension. JR has lots more money and he doesn't need Robert on the White Sox in order to eat well himself. In other words...neither side is going to get what they want because of economic advantage. They will get what they both want by negotiating in good faith with each other.

Good News.

Be still my heart.

My guess is you will like Robert & Madrigal as well. We are going to be a speed team that drives opponents nuts. Might have more than our share of three run homers as well.

Nice game. Gio with a nice game and some little ball wins it after the game saver by McCann.

Never hurts to send a reminder.

Time for Colome to show his wares to Tampa. Consider it an interview.

Speed comes to the park every day. It doesn't have slumps.

Easy guy to steal on.

I love have some elite defenders hanging around in that 24 & 25 slot. Helps if they can hit a little. Engel has been an offensive force in the two games of his return. Hope he can find a way to hit a bit.

OK...I'll take that hit.

I would love to see Engel crush one.

We need a run and let Colome improve his value. Let's get er done.

Agree 100%

Very nice job getting out of that mess. Bet Tampa would like to have the bunt decision to do over.

Bunting goes wrong so often it defies the odds.

McCann gets Gio off the hook. Nice!

Probably serves us right.

Boy...has Yoan looked like crap.

Yes...he's a keeper.
