QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 01:36 PM) If it gets us more/better prospects, do it. Exact type of move we should be doing for the next couple years while rebuilding & have no payroll. It's the Browns/Texans Ostweiler deal.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 01:28 PM) If they want to give me an extra player to pick up some of that...and it gets them below the tax level...that's creative GMing. Jay Groome please.

That DFA opens the door to Frazier, in my opinion.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 04:16 PM) Wait, payne has been released? He left Summer League for personal reasons. There's thought that he won't be needed now that they have Dunn.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 02:49 PM) Who is now on Spurs. Thank goodness I have White Sox. QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 03:03 PM) Even more disgusting when you look at the pick value. Lavergne and Payne cost I believe 3 first rounders and 3 2nd rounders :/ I have the list: LaMarcus Aldridge + Demetris Nichols (2nd) for Tyrus Thomas + Victor Khryrapa (released) Tyrus Thomas for Acie Law (released) + Ronald Murray (released) + Jusuf Nurkic (1st) Jusuf Nurkic + Gary Harris (1st) for Doug McDermott Doug McDermott + Taj Gibson (1st) + 2018 2nd round pick for Joffrey Lauvergne (released) + Cameron Payne + Anthony Morrow (released)

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 02:46 PM) Today will certainly make the "Burdi requires Tommy John surgery" news a little easier to swallow. Is that out there? I can't find anything on it.

I realized this week that GarPax turned LaMarcus Aldridge, Taj Gibson, one 1st round, and two second round picks into Joffrey Lauvergne.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jun 23, 2017 -> 08:42 AM) I'm still not giving up on Schwarber. The Cubs fans are down on him right now, so this is the perfect time to trade for him. Schwarber, Eloy Jimenez, and Dylan Cease. So close... I guess that I got greedy.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 12:05 PM) raBBit says they talked Shwarber but Sox wanted Jimenez. I'd say send Kahnle and Swarzak there for Schwarber and a fillin RP.

QUOTE (Tony @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 11:57 AM) Also, are we going to get Gio or Lopez up to the big club now? I'd say Shields Holland Rodon Pelfrey Holmberg

Excellent return with Jimenez and Cease, even if the secondary guys are not that great. Jimenez and Cease will probably be heading to W-S.

QUOTE (wolves01 @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 02:12 PM) Lots of Melido Perez starts. After spotting the opponent 5 or 6 in the first inning, he was untouchable. I think that he, and his brother Pascual were secretly from another planet.

Back in the early days of New Comiskey, I used to go to more games than I do now. (Family, work etc.) Every time I'd buy tickets, I'd always end up with guys like Kirk McCaskill or Edwin Jackson starting. What is your history? Good or bad luck?

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 10, 2017 -> 07:47 AM) I'm a little late; but, Luke Cage was solid, and now I'm watching Daredevil. I'm three episodes in and I can't get into Daredevil like I did Luke Cage. Does it get better?

This season is really tough. They could be 2-6 in their first 8 and maybe win 3 total this year unless Trubisky lights it up and the D gets magically better.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 10, 2017 -> 10:18 AM) Two things I noticed that may or may not mean something... None of the pitches to Moncada were actually strikes until he swung. I really loved how quickly Kopech worked. Hopefully he works that fast all of the time. With a guy that throws that hard, it has to really get the adrenaline pumping, don't let the hitters relax at all. Kopech will probably be the closer next season at some point.

Kopech was throwing GAS. Strikes out Moncada on four pitches.

I'm a little late; but, Luke Cage was solid, and now I'm watching Daredevil.

I'd rather have a two year old on my lap than get beaten senseless and drug off of the plane.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 5, 2017 -> 12:53 PM) Wife? Upton and Verlander got married? They're engaged. I guess that they're waiting until the offseason.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 4, 2017 -> 07:06 PM) I imagine Verlander's contract and asking price only helps the Sox in the Quintana market. QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jul 5, 2017 -> 10:26 AM) He also has a full no trade clause I think that his fiancee' is a Yankees fan... So there's that. EDITED for misinfo.

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Jun 29, 2017 -> 01:26 AM) Fulmer is barely out of college? 53 Minor league games over parts of three seasons with a 4.85 ERA and a 12-17 record. I don't want to bash these players any more than I have, so I'll let this go. Fulmer is the only pitcher in the 2015 draft class to pitch in the majors.

Why not Congressional housing like the VP or Pres? Owned jointly by Congressman's state and US Govt. You move out when you leave office.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Jun 28, 2017 -> 09:13 AM) A lot of guys here fell in love with him, but most of the smarter minds took Saladino for what he is: a solid utility player. I really don't think that many people saw his as a long term solution as a starter. PS: Might want to reduce the general insults on other posters.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 26, 2017 -> 12:35 PM) This is a Tuffy Rhodes of a post. Caulfield's posts make me feel like Dock Ellis at times.
