2015 Cubs Catch-All thread
Arrieta pitching like an ace since the middle of June. He's going to destroy these weak-hitting teams they face quite often during the 2nd half.

White Sox call up Tyler Saladino
QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 10:26 PM) Hell, if he hits good over the next two months, you might as well give him the SS position for next year while buying out Alexei's option. That would be ideal, as it would allow you to use that money to find a new 3rd baseman or possibly catcher.

7/19 - Royals at White Sox
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 09:54 PM) The irony is that we're tied for the 9th pick in the first round. We can't even lose in a beneficial way. Purgatory. If they trade Samardzija and start giving some of the younger guys more at bats, they'll rack up the losses with their killer schedule the rest of the way.

2015 Cubs Catch-All thread
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 10:30 PM) Giants starting to apply some pressure to the Cubs from below. Mets need another bat or two...in the same situation, almost, arrived on the scene a year early. Pirates have a tough schedule in the 2nd half, and they just started off the half with a horrible sweep at Milwaukee. The Pirates need a few bats, as Pedro Alvarez, Mercer and Polanco are brutal.

Samardzija Trade Packages
QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 10:30 PM) Great time to sell. Sox fans were lead to believe that we would be competing for a playoff spot this season. Now we have to rely on the same general manager with the same book of excuses? I'm sorry but when you come out of a rebuild and screw up your on a short leash. What is he going to do this time? Ask us to be patient with another 2-3 years of crap baseball? Just like with Phil Emery and Marc Trestman last year. You start talking about competing you better get it done. There's no where to hide if you dont. Hahn's gotten a free pass for a terrible offseason (in terms of results on the field). He needs to win a few of these big trades going forward, as so far he doesn't have a lot to show at the big league level besides Eaton/Avi.

7/19 - Royals at White Sox
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 08:11 PM) So far this series Abreu 1/13 with 2 walks. He looks nowhere near 100 pct running

Team seems flat. Sale forgot to back up home there

More evidence of Chicago media turning on Ventura
QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 07:33 AM) I'm really down on Robin after today's game and this series. You guys that despise Ozzie ... he never would be this laid back in search of getting back in the race. Robin doesn't pitch Robertson. WTF with that? Four innings to Jennings? Robin basically conceded ANOTHER game. No urgency with this guy or this team. Letting Jennings pitch another inning was suicide for the White Sox team on Saturday. Robin also pitches Danks and Shark in the DH instead of Sale/Shark. No sense of urgency to tell the Royals "for once we are going to f***ing kick your ass." They save Sale for "another day." Very sad. This team has no competitiveness and it starts with Robin. You guys asked to get rid of one guy who would go down screaming/fighting/clawing if the Royals came to town and he was in charge: Ozwald Guillen!!!! Danks was just awful on Friday. He really came close to giving up a run.

Gillaspie DFA'd; Albers called up
Hopefully he goes to a team that has Moises Sierra so their bromance can continue

White Sox call up Tyler Saladino
QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 04:39 AM) This sounds hard for you. You hate Gillaspie and Beckham. I wish neither guy were on the team. I think Davidson probably sucks but I'd like to see: Davidson 3B, Saladino SS, Johnson 2B, and Abreu 1B. I was all for Davidson getting a shot a month ago, but he's hit ANOTHER rough patch. He even made two errors tonight. He'll probably be with another team come next year repeating AAA for a 4th season.

Samardzija Trade Packages
QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 04:27 AM) I just don't understand the rush on this board to trade Quintana for far less than he's worth. Agreed, you run the risk of making the only strength of the team (starting pitching) into a possible weakness and there's no guarantee you hit on the players received in the package. With the Sox likely to lose Samardzija soon/end of season, I would like to avoid a situation where you're relying on Rodon to be your #2 next season.

Lester has a no-hitter into the 7th now after they changed a first inning infield single to an error on Bryant. Sure looked like it should have been ruled a hit.

7/18 Games - Fulmer's debut
QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 01:50 AM) Trade Conor and Beckham/Bonafacio somewhere, give Johnson 2B, give Saladino 3B, and give Sanchez a few starts a week at 2B/3B/SS and late inning replacement for Micah at 2B. Perfect
