QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 22, 2016 -> 06:01 PM) Saladino hits LHP well too though and is the better defender. The issue is with Rollins against RHP, not Saladino against LHP. Saladino hit .207 with an OPS of .650 vs lefties last year. He doesn't hit them well. Theres a lot of negatives with Jimmy Rollins, but one thing for sure is that he is still an above average hitter vs LHP. That's something we need all we can get right now. 4 for 7 this year with 2 doubles and 2 walks. .762 OPS vs lefties last year. Let him play vs the lefties, especially now of all the times.

2016 MLB Draft
QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 22, 2016 -> 03:04 PM) Corey Ray is a guy I keep thinking we will get for some reason. Unlikely it seems, at this point though. It keeps coming up in my mind too. I think because we've had so so many breaks the last few years that we expect to get our guy. Unforunately were probably too far down the pecking order this year.

Avi Needs to Go
QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 22, 2016 -> 10:38 AM) DFA Sands, option Avi to AAA. Bring up Coats and Ishikawa. Coats in LF, Melky to DH, Ishikawa as LHH 1B/DH bench and PH role. Hope the option kicks Avi in the ass. Come June, explore the trade market for better improvement than those two. But use the marginal improvement from those two in the short term. Agreed. And seems simple enough to wonder why they haven't done it yet. With Coats too, he's 26. Sink or swim time for him and this is the perfect oppurtunity to find out what we have in him.

Avi Needs to Go
QUOTE (oldsox @ Apr 22, 2016 -> 08:43 AM) Really? That hurts. Kenny or Rick? It was a 3 way trade in which the Red Sox got Peavy, and gave up Iglesias. We got Garcia and 3 spects from the Red Sox. Save to say we could have just gone directly to them and got Iglesias.

I can think of one team who recently came into extra payroll flexibility, attracts Cubans, and needs immediate offensive help.

Since Sands is just completely useless, at least call up Leury to PR. He should never play though. Then again he can't be worse.

Delegate Math and the GOP
QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 11:43 AM) There are 2304 BOUND delegates, and 168 unbound. If someone gets 1237 of that number, they are golden. But they can also win if they get over half the bound delegates (1153) PLUS 168 other bound delegates to overcome a 168-delegate swing even if they lost them all. That's the 1321 number in total delegates to reach to win that other way. Not that it matters much, because in the end I don't think Trump gets 1237, let alone 1321. It's possible, but things have to go very well for him in a bunch of states (in May particularly) that he's not likely to do well in. Okay I see what you're saying but I believe it's still a very flawed way of looking at it because it assumes all unbound delegates are aligned with 1 person. The truth is they are all already accounted for in a lot of cases (Pennsylvania not withstanding). Trump does not need to worry about all those unbound delegates because they're already aligned with Ted Cruz for the most part. They are inlcuded in Cruz delegate total. Trumps delegates are almost all bound to him counting towards his 845 number. He needs to worry about 1237+how many unbound he ends up with. That number is closer to 1260 then it is 1321. Also, almost everyone agrees now that Trump has an easy path to 1237. Even in worst case scenarios (like somehow getting 0 in Indiana) he should still easily get there. I'd like to see your path where he doesn't get to 1237. It would have to involve losing California (where he's ahead by 18) and essentially every state aside from New Jersey in May/June. Here is my best guess at a worst case scenario for him: Pennsylvania: 17 out of 71 (wins state, loses every other delegate) Connecticut: 22/28 Delaware: 16/16 (wta) Maryland: 30/38 Rhode Island: 14/19 Indiana: 10/57 Nebraska: 12/36 WVa: 28/34 (direct elect) Oregon: 10/28 Washington: 14/44 Montana: 0/27 (wta) New Jersey: 51/51 (wta) New Mexico: 18/24 South Dakota: 0/29 (wta) California: 150/172 Even in this scenario where I have him not just losing, but getting crushed in Indiana, Nebraska, Oregon, Montana, Washington and South Dakota as well as underperforming big time this Tuesday, he still gets there.
