If Moncada is that hurt he doesn't belong on the field.

Well...Nova got us to the bullpen. We have a real chance now that Moncada is in the game. This really has been a poorly umped game though.

This is a realistic offer.

Going to the fifth at 1-0. Feels worse but this is still winnable.

A decent regular is needed until Vaughn get here.

No faster way to become a hero or a bum than do something notable in the Cub/Sox series. Let's kick some Cub butt.

And...we've only scratched the service. He is going to produce some monster games.

SportsVision had to be the lowest point in my history of being a Sox fan. What a flop.

Very few Sox fans would disagree. If we get overpaid...that of course is a different story.

Moan accusing someone of playing the semantics game...priceless.

Ste Steve Stone was making this point over the weekend. Words to the effect that you couldn't find a clubhouse where the players like each other this much.

He stays or he goes = 50-50. Unless we are overpaid what would be the point of trading him? We need good relivers just like everybody else. My gut feeling is that one team will overpay...but just a guess.

It's annoying. Every topic gets dragged off subject because of 2 or 3 jerks who think they know it all. There are dozens of positives surrounding this ballclub and that gets lost in these petty comments.

What I said to Moan goes for you to. You spend every post trying to nit pick. Try having an original post.

Do you ever make a post of some thought you have about something. It's seems all your post are trying to nitpick what you see as flaws in what others post. Very annoying...and I imagine quite intentional.

What's your point.

Doesn't need to start to get a hit.

If he gets a hit that beats the Cubs he will have a place in White Sox fans hearts for life. Go Sox!

Couldn't hold a runner on to save his soul. Every time a runner ran it was called indifference.

35+ HRs & 100+ RBIs do not go for a dime a dozen. Greg and I are talking 9 mil per. That's not out of line.

If you control him for 2 or 3 years you still have the trade ability. At this point he is still one of our best bats. No reason to move Jose until he is in the way of Vaughn. I think 3yrs/27 mil. is about right for both parties.

I think this is the actual intention...to carry 3 catchers.

A competent DH with skills to back up catcher/1st base can be a very useful piece of a championship team.

I favor your idea of a discounted extension. If that is not in the cards.. I trade him with our best wishes for his future success.

Like others I'm not a fan of some lineups, bunting situations and constant play of Alonso. That said...his won/loss record says he is doing OK. Players seem to respond/like him and our clubhouse is being lauded as very close knit group. Manager of the year is a stretch but he's OK. In todays baseball I like that he is Spanish speaking. Communication is a big part of the job.
