Don't tell a player to bunt that doesn't know how. Drives me crazy.

Two players of star potential for a good # 2/3 starter. Good for both teams but I like our long term on it. Very good trade for a rebuild.

Best value and best for the White Sox both imply getting the better end of the deal. We obviously got the better end of the Eaton deal. Our two best starters this year and a future probable for one oft injured outfielder. I liked Eaton but would do this over in a heartbeat.

A win tomorrow and only one game under .500. Always feel a team is in the hunt when over that marker. Let's go get er done.

Giolito no longer has that deer caught in the headlights look. Actually, like all good pitchers he looks confident and has an air of control of the situation. Stoney complimented him today on how fast he worked which is one of my pet peeve's with Nova and all slow workers. Stone even wondered out loud why others on the staff don't see why it gives the pitcher an advantage to set the pace like that. I always use Buehrle as the best example of that.

Great poll question. I love that for me these are not easy to answer. We did really--really well in all three trades in my opinion. Now, with a little time passing it is obvious we really won the Eaton trade. When Dunning is healthy 3 of our starters could well come from this deal. Sale and Q deals are both nice with each producing a potential TOR starter and at least 2 or 3 major league roster pieces who will be producing years after Sale & Q have hung em up. Since we did give up Sale & Q and they have produced well it hard to call them wins for us but more like everyone got what they wanted.

My personal preference would be Cease and Keuchel or perhaps a trade for someone like Mike Minor. Lambert from our own organization gets some peoples interest as well.

Tomorrow's win gets us to 1 game under .500. A nice win streak could get us in the hunt. Some tough competition but you never know. Just keep winning series particularly within the division.

He has the same agent as Carlos Rodon. What does that have to do with an unemployed pitcher. Read what I said..."Keuchel or whoever." Try not to be negative just for the sake of it.

The standard was a team needed to be within 5 games at the All Star Break. Now some of you give up after the first 1/4 of the season. Not much fun for you.

Tilson just keeps looking like a ballplayer.

Ricky moves Alonzo down in the order and now he can hit.

Gio is starting to have swagger..

The best was Wilbur Wood but the last was some no name I can't remember.

Why won't we go outside for Keuchel or whoever. RH said they would when the time is right. Newsflash....the time is right.

Garcia kilt that one.

JR is 83 years old and does not have interest in 10 years from now. I imagine estate planning and tax avoidance is his primary focus. If preparing the team for sale by his heirs... I suspect he will be in go for it mode. It also might be fun for him to go out a winner. His reported net worth is in excess of 1.5 billion so he can afford to do somethings just for grins.

Robin Yount was in the majors at 18 and only hit .250 his first year. I'm sure he was learning and growing at the same time. Robert was signed to a huge contract because he was unusual and Madrigal was called almost major league ready when he was drafted. I'm excited to see them sooner rather than later. The team will soon become irrelevant if we don't start seeing some of these new guys as this is still an entertainment business. Be entertaining.

Because we would win more games and maybe compete. The season is only 1/4 over and lots can happen. Robert, Madrigal & Cease can be brought up... and Kouchel and/or Kimbrel might appear.... a key injury or injuries on teams in front happens frequently...stuff happens. Also, I don't just look forward to the baseball season all offseason to give up after only 1/4 of it has been played. I'll remind you that in 2006 we had the kind of lead Minnesota has now...we didn't win.

Please someone find 2 starting pitchers. Thank you...and please hurry!

I like it best when Tilson & Cordell are both in the outfield. Things look chaotic without both of them in the outfield.

Sanchez is losing it.

Why does Alonso have to bat at all?

Oh ye of little faith!

And why not with the Sox?
