Detroit announcers were giving a detailed analysis of McCann swing changes. Bottom line...he's a different hitter than with them.

He is a very serviceable and versatile utility player...nothing more.

Detroit announcers say Cordell ran through the stop sign.

Let's sweep the series!

Hahn might get us a little better than reasonable. When he has something good to sell...Hahn does very well. Sale, Eaton and Q deals show Rick is no pushover when dealing from strength.

If they don't give Detwiler another start there ought to be an investigation.

Who doesn't?

Detroit is crapola and Cubs are beatable. When the going gets tough...the tough get going.

Would love to go into the AS break with an above .500 team.

Agreed!

I'm anxious to see him pitch again. Him being something would be catching lightning in a bottle.

That would also work for me.

When your lack of a closer is what stands between your team and a playoff run...the value goes up.

Only takes one team to think Colome is the answer to their closer problem. Two arguing over him would be even better. Don't at all mind keeping him for our own run next year. This ends well no matter what Rick does.

Jerry is 83 years old. He wants the rebuild to happen as fast as possible I would think.

It is interesting that if you go to White Sox official web site they tell me who leads the club in batting average, home runs, stolen base & rbi's. I can't find anything that tells me who is leading in any of the advanced stat races. My point is that the average baseball fan relates to stats we've grown up with. I see advanced stats as additional evaluation tools but they don't make obsolete the traditional yard sticks that make up the triple crown or win & losses and earn run averages. Is there really such a thing as a WAR monster player with poor traditional stats? For me...WAR has helped guys like Sanchez & Garcia show their value a little better than just traditional stats.

I would like to see Robert and Madrigal join Cease asap. Use the remainder of 2019 to acclimate these three key pieces to the major league game. Giolito, Jiminez, Mancada along with Anderson all needed time to adjust to the faster game after being promoted. I don't want to waste the first half of 2020 for this process. Use free agency and trades to acquire two decent starting pitchers and a right fielder. We can compete for the division in 2020 as Kopech, Dunning and Rodon get their footing following their respective surgeries. These players have all shown advanced skills and don't need to be treated with such kid gloves. Daryl Boston has been working with Eloy on his outfield play and it shows. Boston can work with Robert while McEwing works with Madrigal. Both players would be immediate upgrades to our current team and it speeds the acclimation time to the big leagues. Robin Yount skipped the minor league stint and joined the big league club at 18 years old. Worked out pretty well I would say.

Listen...yes. Never hurts to listen. Only a gross overpay should be listened to for very long however IMO.

Jared Mitchell in 2009 drafted by White Sox over Mike Trout wasn't a high-lite either.

We had not seen Detwiler or heard of the Cease promotion.

Looks a lot better than it did one week ago.

I had no idea you are this smart.?

When I first heard 3 had made the team I assumed it was Colome.

I guess home runs and rbi's do count after all. You have been vindicated by the baseball Gods.
