QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 10:58 PM) I'm trying to figure out Tim Anderson and what kind of player he's going to be over the next 10 years. To me, he's definitely not our Correa or Lindor or Bogaerts. To me, he's Alexei only starting at age 23. Well said

What to do at the Trade Deadline
If Robertson has value (he should), then he's a great trade chip. Jones can become a closer the rest of the year.

Hell of a weekend for Anderson. 0-11 with three errors

Hope Anderson gets a hit here to stop his slump

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 09:26 PM) Agreed. Teams are building small armies of stats and sabremetrics specialists with complex supercomputers to help them make the right decisions. Find an assistant in one of those organizations and start over. Jason McLeod should be the next GM

QUOTE (harkness @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 10:24 PM) Getting beat by a last place team by a score of 16-1 over 3 game promotes negativity. And now 5 of 6 against two of the worst teams in baseball

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 09:11 PM) Gets it up to 97. Will only have to worry about 2 pitches. Fastball seems flat though. Not saying it will work, but worth a try. This starting thing isn't working for him.

About as to be expected by Turner.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 09:45 PM) 1BB, 1H, and 8 K in 4 IP for Hansen with 56 pitches. Very nice. His command so far has been a shockingly good development

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 08:54 PM) Hahn is the worst GM the Sox ever had. I don't want him selling anybody. Best thing they can do is go out and spend money to buy some players with big contracts to plug some holes. I'm surprised by how many fans Hahn has on here. I understand he has some unusual constraints, but why not find someone who can do better given those constraints?

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 08:55 PM) Minds may change but someone is going to be held responsible for this. You cant keep saying "Next year...next year...whoops we screwed up time to start over" and keep your job. It's not happening. Let's just put the Bulls into perspective here since they were in this position. They had the chance to start over again. They could have taken a huge risk and traded Jimmy Butler to either the Celtics or Timberwolves. But they didnt because guess who stepped in? We've already played the intentionally losing game. You think they will be allowed to start again? What you are describing is baseball hell and something that will set the Sox back more than selling would. When you have very few trade chips and an average payroll with not much coming off after the year, you are in a terrible spot.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 08:50 PM) They cant sell. It's definitely the end of Robin's tenure if you do that. He might as well pack his bags now and get ready to move. Hahn more than likely doesnt have authorization to do that/he would probably get fired before even doing it and ontop of it it's half assed. If your going to sell do it all the way. Of course Ventura is done here after this season. Standing still just for the sake of how it looks is ridiculous. Of course, I think minds might change a bit if they are 8 out and behind 4 teams in the WC in 2 weeks

Nice play by Anderson. Wonder if that's the last pitch Turner ever throws in the majors

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 08:46 PM) They arent going to sell. You really think they can go to Kenny Williams and JR right now as say "We give up....we're going to start trading pieces to compete maybe in 5 years?". That's not going to happen. This current team is so outclassed. Why do you want them to stand still and hope they win 82 games. What we have seen the last two years is baseball hell.

You can trade Robertson and still compete in the next few years. They wasted a first round pick on a closer, might as well groom him for that
