Falstaff

Could Boston Smith be the sell high guy? The last time the Sox traded for a starting pitcher named Freddy, Jeremy Reed was part of the package. Reed hit .409 down in Birmingham and was thought to be a future superstar. Peralta does have the pedigree to command a return; he was 5th in CY last year and has plenty of playoff experience. I would rather have a controllable player if possible.

The Sox win the WS and all the players carry the Pope off the field.

Going down memory lane I wonder if younger fans knew the White Sox played home games at County Stadium for a couple of seasons.

To see Hicks out there in high leverage from where he was earlier in the season is amazing. Then yesterday Siranthony was out there in the 11th with the game on the line. Knock on wood, both these guys could be major parts of getting to the finish line with 1/3 of the season to go.

162 is a grind, he'll be fine.

It was 4-0 before I sat in my lazy boy. Kudos to Martin for stopping the bleeding, staying in there for 6 and giving the Sox a chance. What a comeback !!!

Q who knew!

Ozzie was chirping about Vasil earlier but he has let it go.

No disrespect to Tray but this is funny.

With Schultz I think of Randy Johnson because they were both 6'10" LP. Randy has said that it took him years to figure it out, hopefully Schultz can put it together sooner.

Pump the brakes on Schultz failed or the Sox failed Schultz. It's a little early to come to conclusions on a prized pitching talent, all of 22 years old, making his rookie debut.

Clay Holmes would be a welcome addition.

The Sox seem to have got Hicks back on track and his value is right where he is, throwing GAS in the pen. I am hoping they get Seranthony squared away so he could be used in non-blow out games.

If the Sox weren't in the hunt, the on-the-job training for Schultz wouldn't be a problem. I would send him down and bring up Urquidy for a start and see what happens.

That answers that question, Hays or Pereira. Let's see if the Sox get any interest in Hays.

That's what I am thinking, Hays can hit LH pitching.

I hope Mune doesn't fire his agent and then hire Boras.

I agree, he has had 17 starts at Indianapolis this year, low walk per 9, good whip, looks like he is 100% back from TJ, WS experience, bring him up.

That is factually true

I think Venable wants Grichuk on the team.

I have never had sushi but if I do it will be a Mune Pop Up.

The sales of Mune Pop Up Sushi will pay for Munetaka's extension.

Alejandro Kirk is owed 12.3M the next 4 years, would Toronto or the Sox be interested ?

He gone and Teel could possibly be back, crazy

Mead plays 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, I will take what we have at those positions. I guess he could have been the UT or R/ DH. Mead wasn't going to get the playing time here and his departure has led to very positive things. The Sox didn't have an established a LF, CF, or RF in the preseason. Sam was given a chance to learn on the fly in LF because Benny was a defensive liability. Peters in CF made the All-Star team, and Montgomery is finally the answer to a long-time hole in RF. Benny getting moved to DH and now sharing the role with Grick has been working. Grick can also play the outfield.
