fathom

Wow, I never noticed K. Walker's OPS. Ouch

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 3, 2014 -> 01:40 AM) I think I read he leads MLB in hitting the ball on the ground so far I 2014. Which is fine except in situations like that.

Jordan Danks with a lot of undeserved at bats coming up the next few weeks.

Eaton leaves the game. You have to DL him and let him get his leg right again. What a nightmare the health situation has been.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 3, 2014 -> 01:36 AM) Yes. Particular Eaton. Not a fan of the slap up the middle swing in those situations. Done it far too often of late.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 3, 2014 -> 01:34 AM) Come on Eaton need 2 at least Just awful at bats of late by the team with RISP.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ May 3, 2014 -> 12:28 AM) Yes, but that's only once a week. Rodon might be the 3rd best starter in the organization the day they draft him, if he is available.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ May 3, 2014 -> 12:26 AM) It's tough watching a team that can't get anyone out. Like watching the Bears being unable to stop anyone.

Is this team going to set a record for two out runs allowed?

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ May 3, 2014 -> 01:13 AM) It seems Abreu is not seeing the ball well tonight, or his timing is way off. Curse of Abreu's April

Can we amnesty Danks?

Goodness, swing the bat

Does anyone know why Hawkins is sitting out again for W-S

Nieto!

And this is another example of why two bullpen started games in less than a week is idiotic.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 2, 2014 -> 11:38 PM) 14.25 million for this garbage. 2 more years on the books lucky Sox. Good deal at the time, but shaping up to be one of the worst deals in Sox history.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ May 2, 2014 -> 11:35 PM) You know, you and Dick Allen are two of my favorite posters on this board but I never suspected you were one in the same person. All I know is that the pitching results have been awful, and all the pitchers seem to have struggled with velocity and command. Cooper is due big time for a "fixed pitcher"

QUOTE (Marty34 @ May 2, 2014 -> 11:30 PM) Was assured he would. Hahn has an incredibly hard task of rebuilding the pitching. Only two reliable starters on the roster, and that's assuming Sale is healthy. There is absolutely nothing in the minors close to being ready either.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 2, 2014 -> 11:35 PM) that changeup isn't fooling anyone They no longer have to respect his high fastball.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ May 2, 2014 -> 11:32 PM) Sox pitching sucks this year. Yes it really does. Cooper has done a terrible job.

Is Danks ever going to get anything close to his fastball back

No Hawkins again

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 2, 2014 -> 10:36 PM) Kepp and Paulino starting rehab and another Noesi start? Great day to be a Sox fan! Nothing like bullpen days against probably your two biggest rivals.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 2, 2014 -> 08:21 PM) The White Sox have 5 of their own draft picks on their roster not including Sale: Jordan Danks Gordon Beckham Marcus Semien Daniel Webb Jake Petricka Not exactly hard to replace. Webb shouldn't be on the list.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 2, 2014 -> 08:15 PM) First off, Boras cannot directly negotiate with the White Sox or whichever team makes the selection or Mr. Rodon doesn't have the option of returning to pitch in college. Playing hardball has worked for some and screwed others. I was reading where Houston offered Appel $6 million the year before, and he said no. The Pirates drafted him and offered him $3.8 which of course was turned down. He ultimately signs with Houston the next year for $6.35 million. So losing a year of pro ball, he did gain $350k, but is probably a year behind in development, if not more. It could cost him an extra year to arbitration which make the risk of return pretty stupid. I think if JR and Hahn talk to this kid and his parents, or any team for that matter, they can show that being picked in the top 3 and not signing really makes little sense. The risk far outweighs the reward. In a situation like Rodon's, I think the Sox history of being incredibly aggressive with their assignments for top draft picks will help them. It wouldn't shock me if the told Rodon he could be in the majors the following season in order to try and get him on board.
