Viciedo's time is running out for the Sox, it would seem.

Viciedo is just a debacle on defense

QUOTE (beautox @ Aug 27, 2014 -> 01:39 AM) make that 0 for 0 with 3BB now at 50 walks and 55 strikeouts on the year at AAA as a 23 year old in 78 games; just remember though his celing is just a utility player.... It's great to see him dominate AAA like he did AA last year

2-2 with HR for Anderson

Avi being quite productive!

There's no more than 200 people in the RF stands

This team is making up a ton of ground for a higher draft pick. Q seems to be getting killed by the big inning this year, just like Noesi

QUOTE (Timmy U @ Aug 23, 2014 -> 06:17 AM) I like Semien, but he's not the Sox future at short in the eyes of the organization. I think Tim Anderson is the guy slated to replace Alexei. For some reason, I feel this is how things will work out: - Micah Johnson will start at 2nd for them next year - Sanchez will be utility player - Davidson will platoon with Gillaspie - Semien will be used as trade bait

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 26, 2014 -> 04:16 AM) Looks like it's gonna be Jorge Soler time now. Strong rumors he is being called up. One of my favorite prospects in their system not counting the beast that is Bryant. Gonna be fun to see him play up here.. unfortunately with the Cubs. It's amazing how well their main prospects have been in the minors this year, outside of Almora. Hopefully these guys flop in the majors.

Move over Emmy's, Brie just had the performance of the year.

Anderson with his first errors since the injury, I believe

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 25, 2014 -> 08:24 PM) Rodon interview. Haven't listened to it yet. http://thegamechicago.com/2014/08/25/white.../#axzz3BQZLWupb And it took exactly 1 minute for Kaplan to talk about the Cubs prospects

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 25, 2014 -> 03:52 PM) It is a balancing act. What I don't want to see if those losses come at the expense of development. For example, if you are the White Sox, and Avi Garcia hits .100 with no power for September, what do you do? Maybe it gets you a better draft pick, but if it comes at the expense of the team's future, that isn't good. I'd much rather see games won because guys like Sanchez, Flowers, Garcia, etc are playing well, than for the kids to go into the tank and us to get a better draft pick. Usually to lose games, you need to have players play losing baseball. If it is just the pen blowing games, fine. Any more than that, and we do more harm than good for the future of this organization. It isn't as simple as Lose Baby Lose! For example, on the Sox current 6 game losing streak, all of the RBIs have been from players that have a future with this organization (Abreu, Garcia, Sanchez, Gillaspie, Ramirez). No shame in getting a higher draft pick if these players still continue to perform while Sale, Q stay healthy.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Aug 25, 2014 -> 02:27 AM) Probably right. Quite a coincidence that the two best prospects from the draft this year are on Chicago team. Rodon and Schwarber (sp?) for Cubs. Schwarber was expected to dominate the pitching in A ball. He won't be in the top 50 for prospects going into next year. With that said, he's having an incredible start to his pro career.

If he's still eligible for prospect lists, I see no reason why Rodon won't be in the top ten going into next year. To me, he's the best pitching prospect in the minors.

Just made up 3 games on Cubs this weekend

Good thing they walked Headley. Ventura is so clueless.

Avi!

The offense has gone silent since the Yanks scored.

Sale seemed to be much more effective earlier in the year when he was at 93-94 mph. Ever since he started throwing 95-96, his command has been mediocre.

Wow, this team sucks. The pitch calling this inning has been insane.

Sale melting down. Been overthrowing everything since the error.

This team is full of head cases

Beckham would have caught that. I'm gonna guess Viciedo isn't returning next year.

Obviously I meant Conor would face LHP in the platoon
