Goodness Danks, feel free to pitch down in the zone.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 5, 2014 -> 03:50 PM) Baez is one year older than Courtney Hawkins. If Hawkins were putting up the same numbers in AAA next year, this board would want to see him in Chicago. Besides, if Baez is going to be a bust, who cares about super 2 status? Baez actually hits a ton of home runs. Hawkins, for all of his power, hasn't seen his HR total explode the last two years.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 12:29 AM) Abreu let several mistakes go in that AB Last couple of games, he's been fouling off some meatballs that he had been hitting over the fence before the ASB. Thankfully, he's stopped chasing the slider low and away for the most part.

Colby's fastball looks extremely hittable

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 12:28 AM) Danks mechanics haven't been right for a while now. He can't keep the ball down, and doesn't have enough stuff to pitch up anymore. He has to finish on his pitches better than he is now. The biggest issue his entire career has been lack of consistency in his mechanics.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 01:23 AM) He's a liability for next year? Geez, tell me someting I don't know! He was fine the first half of the year.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 01:18 AM) Lol, this wasn't the case before today? At the ASB, I would have said I have no problem with him being a back end starter next year. If he puts up a 5 ERA this year, I would be worried about him being a huge liability going forward.

More importantly, he's becoming a huge question mark for next year now.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 01:14 AM) Lord we're stuck with him for 2 more years. I really hope Hahn wasn't stubborn asking for players back if a team was willing to take on a large part of that contract.

Danks really struggling since the ASB. He has been getting hit hard.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 5, 2014 -> 06:51 PM) White Sox players have been pretty unharmed in all of this stuff over the years As long as it's not Sale, Abreu, PK, Quintana or Buehrle, it wouldn't really bug me.

sounds like it's more than 2 additional players

Wow, he looks like a totally different hitter. Nice going Flowers!

Doesn't get much worse than that. Not even close to seeing a strike, and he still strikes out.

In an organization with decent 2nd base prospects, it's insane Beckham continues to get at bats.

Not a good decision to put runners in motion with a 3 outcome king up.

I'll confess, I thought the pen was the strongest part of the roster coming into the season.

Let Leury pitch the 9th

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 3, 2014 -> 10:08 PM) and the guys he signed that are no longer on the roster or are just a burning pile of trash like Belly. Out of the major transactions Hahn made this offseason, the players have either been great (Abreu/Eaton) or absolutely, positively awful (Davidson, Belisario, Downs, Paulino)

10 of last 11 Twins hitters Belisario has faced have reached.

This has to be it for Belisario in a Sox jersey

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 3, 2014 -> 10:00 PM) What's your beef with Cooper? I'm waiting for Cooper to develop a pitcher again, as Q was the last person he helped develop into a starter. The Erik Johnson debacle was very disappointing.

Wow is this team flat and not focused today.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 3, 2014 -> 09:58 PM) It's really not so much that it's a terrible pen as much as there are hardly any guys better than others. Petricka is obviously your best guy and then everyone else is "meh." There's no obvious choice when you need to not give up runs How do you figure this isn't a terrible pen?

No complaints if they DFA Belisario after this game.
