QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 4, 2014 -> 05:52 PM) WHITE SOX MAKE THREE ROSTER MOVES FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Sunday, May 4, 2014 CLEVELAND – Prior to today's game at Cleveland, the Chicago White Sox added outfielder Moises Sierra to the active roster and sent third baseman Conor Gillaspie to Class AAA Charlotte on an injury rehabilitation assignment. Sierra, 25, was claimed off waivers from Toronto on Saturday and takes the roster spot of left-handed pitcher Frank De Los Santos, who was optioned to Charlotte following last night's game against the Indians. The 6-foot-1, 220-pound Sierra was designated for assignment on May 1 after going 2-34 (.059) in 34 games with the Blue Jays this season. He batted .290 (31-107) with 13 RBI and 11 runs scored in 35 games with Toronto in 2013, including a .317 (26-82) average with 12 doubles and 11 RBI in September. Sierra ranked among the AL September leaders in doubles (3rd), extra-base hits (T4th, 14), slugging percentage (8th, .524) and on-base percentage (9th, .385). Sierra is a career .229 hitter (66-288) with seven home runs and 30 RBI in 97 games over three seasons with Toronto (2012-14). He will wear uniform No. 25. Gillaspie, 26, has been on the 15-day disabled list since April 26 (retro to April 22) with a left hand contusion. He is batting .302 (19-63) with 12 RBI and eight runs scored in 16 games with the White Sox this season. Sierra sounds like a Dwyane Wise clone. Is that a fair description?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 4, 2014 -> 09:58 PM) Point remains, McCarthy is a good starter, why would they want our crap Then give 'em Beckham and a prospect. They are in last place.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 4, 2014 -> 08:13 PM) Now...will Jordan Danks be on the plane back to Chicago? DeAza's not hitting over .200 either. As far as the game, wow, the bullpen was good. Crucial homer by Viciedo. That would have been a sorry, depressing sweep. Big home run to salvage one game. And we got the save as well. Lindstrom could have given it right back. That's what would have happened last year.

I still say we should trade Beckham for Brandon McCarthy. If they want more, throw Kepp in as well.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ May 4, 2014 -> 07:49 PM) Viciedo needs to get through his thick head to stay short and quick, it will fly like it just did. If he gets that through his head he'll have good at bats Wordly abruptly, but that is a key. He has some talent. Hopefully the addition of Abreu will help him a lot.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 4, 2014 -> 01:59 AM) Take out Abreu it's the worst team in mlb on paper I would guess. Yes, the losses will likely start piling up in a hurry. April was magical and we still were no better than .500. Subtract a few players ... it's looking Astro and Cub-like.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 4, 2014 -> 03:04 AM) Why would the worst team in baseball want either of those guys, especially Keppinger? To get rid of 0-5 McCarthy.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 4, 2014 -> 12:46 AM) Outside of Abreu, this is basically the same offense the Sox had the last two months of last season. Boy we are starting to stink. Here's a trade I thought of today: Keppinger or Beckham, either one, for Brandon McCarthy. Coop can fix McCarthy.

Hammy injuries are not good. They can return year after year after year. Just ask Lorenzo Cain.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ May 2, 2014 -> 11:07 PM) They don't appear to have anyone on the horizon who can play SS as well as he can for the next four years. Semien projects to be more of a 2B and the younger guys in the minors haven't proved a thing and aren't regarded as can't miss prospects. Unless you are blown away with a ridiculous offer, you keep Alexei until you are sure you have a replacement that can step in and play and produce as well as him. That's what I was thinking. It would be pretty scare to let L. Garcia or somebody play short and hit .095. We have a weird team of young guys and veterans both.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 3, 2014 -> 04:29 AM) The Cubs are just a team on the schedule. The word "rivalry" shouldn't exist in baseball. It's Chicago vs. Chicago. What are you talking about? Why shouldn't it be a rivalry? Sports are supposed to be fun and these games should mean a lot to competitors. I realize most of the big leaguers could give a s***, though. They are too busy counting their money and checking their investments.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 2, 2014 -> 11:16 PM) Remember when the Cubs series actually mattered? Years ago I would have been pissed that Noesi is starting. Now? Whatever. With all do respect, I hope you are only speaking for yourself. It matters to me. I hate just giving the Cubs a game.

Man, it seems all we do is play Central Division teams. This team is starting to trend downward. I don't blame them if they are bored playing the Central so much. I just have a sneaky feeling this ain't gonna be a good month. Somehow Detroit is already 7 ahead of the sox in the loss column. This is trending downward. Not good.

As bad as Kepp is, and he's very bad, Paulino is in a different realm. Please do not let Paulino have ANY ROLE on the big league club except as a mop up guy when we're down 8-0 in the fourth.

There must be a formula to winning fantasy baseball but I haven't figured it out yet. My office team is in last place again. Can't quite figure out baseball, how to build a winning team.

This Detroit domination thing is growing old. Are they going to win our division 18 years in a row or whatever the Braves did to their division in that one streak? It's really disgusting a city like fricking Detroit has built a team good enough to win this thing year after year. They are already six in the loss column ahead of the Sox with a very flawed team, which is not good. It's about over, in fact, where everybody will be rooting for our draft pick again.Six in the loss column is getting up there.

Didn't watch today's game. Sounds like one of last year's results though. Last night's game woulda been nice to steal. Sad to get owned by Detroit two straight.

What about Billy Butler for DH. If he continues this lousy year, sign him 3 years 8 million a year. Have Butler DH and Abreu remain at first. He has a 12.5 million club option for next year which the Royals are too cheap to match.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 30, 2014 -> 01:24 AM) I would trade Adam done tomorrow if we could. His numbers are only going to drop. Maybe the Sox beat writers could quote some anonymous scout sources and find out if Dunn has any value as far as a possible trade. My guess is a big fat NO. What team would trade for Adam Dunn unless the Sox pay for the rest of the deal? It makes no sense after his body of work on the south side. The GM would have to be nuts IMO.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 30, 2014 -> 03:40 AM) Ventura called for the suicide squeeze. Semien fails miserably. Detroit then calls one against us and it was beautiful for them unfortunately. That's the definition of a humbling loss when that happens.

Bummer. Blown opportunities with our bullpen is not a good thing. Our hope is that the good fortune of late will continue. Other than that ... phooey.

How bout timing a single to left center, Lexi?

Ugh. 3-2. I smell a called third K.

Excellent double. Cmon Viciedo. Good eye so far.

Why does Beckham always have a lousy Batting average?
