I don't think there's a chance Toronto will give up Hoffman for a rental.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 23, 2015 -> 04:13 PM) Agreed. Hoffman or Pentecost would be the main piece coming back in a deal in my opinion. Reid Foley, Smith, Jimenez, and Lugo are interesting names as well. Pompey has some exciting skills. As for going after injured guys, I still love the idea of going after Stroman.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 23, 2015 -> 05:04 AM) I know it won't happen, but I still think Quintana to the Cubs for Schwarber & Baez makes too much sense for both teams. I don't think the Cubs would give up that much

QUOTE (spiderman @ Jun 23, 2015 -> 03:17 AM) This White Sox reminds me a lot of the Bears season. There were expectations coming into the season for both teams, and both just embarrassed themselves with horrible fundamental play. How many games have we seen the White Sox just struggle to play defense? Base running? Everything generally looks worse when a team doesn't hit, but the White Sox aren't playing tricks on your eyes. Not only do they not hit, but they don't field or run the bases. It's probably too late to fire Robin Ventura and hope for any difference, I doubt it even would have mattered. I feel sorry for Carlos Sanchez, he looks so overmatched at the plate; I feel how he hits is how i would hit, little dribblers and weak popups, but he's not the only one. 3B, C and 2B are guaranteed outs. John Danks is a human gas can. The rest of the rotation, outside Sale, has been up and down. This looks like a 70-75 win team. If everything goes right. As for next year, sure seems like there is one rotation spot open and 2b/ss/3b/c starting spots. Hahn has his work cut out for him. Kind of funny how the Cubs strength is the Sox weakness, and the Cubs would love to have the young arms of the Sox

Really wish they would call up Johnson and give him rest of the year to get used to speed of the game at this level.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 23, 2015 -> 02:45 AM) Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisMLB 6m6 minutes ago Ceiling is frontline starter. Has that stuff. @SSS_joshnelson: With Fulmer joining the @WhiteSox - what do you think his ceiling is? Sale Rodon Shark Quintana Fulmer EJ, Montas, Danish, Beck in the wings. Staff looks real good to me. Just get some hitters lol Danish and Beck don't look like MLB starters to me. Would love to use Danish as trade bait if he has value

Bryant is going to put up silly numbers with wind blowing out in the summer. Cubs looking very dangerous, especially if they add someone like Hamels.

1 homer in last 7 road games

So balta, are you rooting for the Sox to lose right now? Honest question

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 23, 2015 -> 03:22 AM) Sox have 10 hits and two walks and 2 runs?? How the hell is that possible (just tuned in)? Hey, at least the Sox had a few hits. Outside of that, one of the worst games they've played all year. Terrible pitching/defense/base running.

Twins continue to make the Sox their b**** I would be hopeful a performance like this would lead to some changes, but we all know they're too scared to do anything.

These catchers are dreadful at blocking pitches in the dirt

Carroll almost caused a "Cliff Floyd-moment" for Abreu

I know most teams have former players go to the MLB draft to announce the selections, but Danks should really go next year. He's played a huge role in getting the Sox very high picks.

QUOTE (Real @ Jun 23, 2015 -> 02:08 AM) if they're gonna pay this trash anyways, why not DFA him and give someone else a shot? Cubs have actually benefited from moving Wood and Jackson so quickly to the pen.

Well done Robin, well done. At least those are earned so they can't use that excuse.

Eaton now hitting .181 vs LHP with an OPS around .460

On a day where Davidson takes the golden sombrero

They showed a picture of Alexei and Stone said something like "after a great defensive year last year, Alexei is wondering what has happened to his defense. Not much is going right with it"

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 23, 2015 -> 02:36 AM) I keep saying for EJ...they've said they want to give him time at AAA to get his confidence back and I totally agree with that after the implosion last year. Seems like he should be pretty confident now

Stone just blasted Alexei

Even our announcer can't count. 15 outs, not 12 Hawk

This has to be it for Danks. He is just a waste of money.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 23, 2015 -> 01:23 AM) Not anymore.. I don't understand how Hahn and Williams can watch this s*** every day and not make any sort of move. And how Robin hasn't benched Alexei yet Hahn's lack of urgency has been disappointing.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jun 23, 2015 -> 02:17 AM) How is the consistently poor baserunning anything but poor coaching? Same with the flat start nearly every game
