3rd base is looking like a liability this year with Gillaspie being a horrible fielder. He doesn't provide enough power to make up for that.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 06:44 PM) Not saying they cant make a run later in the season, but they can't be throwing away games like this 2 out of every 5 games. agreed, Danks has done nothing to earn a starting spot

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 05:42 PM) FFS this is not putting me in a good mood at the office. Yep, hate when they lose day games

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 05:40 PM) this defense is BRUTAL. All it's missing is Ian Desmond.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 05:39 PM) This is not true. It has also been detailed many times on the site. He can come up this weekend and Sox control his rights for 7 ML seasons (Including this one). I know I should know this, but when he comes up this year, the Sox will control his rights for 6 full seasons after this one?

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 06:30 PM) Here is McDaniel's detailed update: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-interna...-market-part-1/ Says that the White Sox are believed to have an agreement with 6'3 235 pound RF Franklin Reyes for $1.4 million. Looks like the Cubs will be extremely active again. I wish the White Sox would use the same strategy. I only saw two linked to the Cubs

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 05:35 PM) It looks like he's trying to to what Eaton does but you gotta have very good bat control. Not sure Micah does. I'd really like to see him try and pull the ball more. He could develop decent power. Of course in my world he'd probably be down in AAA working on that. Yeah, he swings all arms

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 06:32 PM) Something about the combo of Micah's stance and how far he's off the plate that doesn't look like he's in a good position to hit. Completely agree...seems like he's going to have a very difficult time catching up to fastballs. Seems like he'll be more dangerous against finesse pitchers.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 06:31 PM) Why not walk Chisenhall there to load the bases? No confidence in Danks being able to get out of the inning with minimal damage? He's now 4-4 in his career off of Danks. I guess Roberto Perez scared them more.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 06:27 PM) John Danks is not a MLB caliber starter the sooner everyone (including the Sox) realize it the better. If it wasn't for his contract and Rodon's service time he'd already be cut imo. Meanwhile, Shane Greene looks damn good as a #4 starter for the Tigers. They have made some under the radar, awesome acquisitions the last few years

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 06:26 PM) Well the John Danks having good stuff fun last all of one game. Last game? He was getting hit pretty hard vs KC.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 06:25 PM) And....we've been Danks'ed. Keep having the feeling Rodon's going to take his spot, as the Sox will have no other choice but to make him the long man. He's just not starting caliber anymore.

Can't allow both to score here, as getting 3 will be difficult today.

His throws have been awful for the most part.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 06:17 PM) So! Who wants to start 0-2 2K and bad defense over Tyler Flowers now? Anyone? I'll choose option C...both Soto and Flowers are too horrific on defense and their offense isn't good enough to make up for it.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 06:13 PM) Awesome. Glad we started him today Righties hit better against Bauer than lefties do

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 02:25 AM) How the hell is Kevin Gregg one of the Reds setup guys. He is f***ing terrible. 3 straight games where their pen gave up a walk and then a homer in the 8th

And now Kevin Gregg gets in on the home runs allowed act

Wow sick!

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 02:07 AM) I really don't like defensive replacements earlier than the 9th. Conor is a good hitter and forces the Tribe to try and have a lefty face him. Why not let him hit then insert Gordon for the 9th? Oh well I will stop 2nd guessing for this game. I thought Johnson should have ran for LaRoche and let him steal to get into scoring position

Oh my

Awesome by Duke. He pitches like Sale might when he turns 50

Trying to be aggressive in wrong spots

Avi showing nice balance at the plate

A walk! Time for Micah
