QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 10, 2013 -> 11:42 PM) I absolutely believe him when he talks about keeping pitching and working on the offense this offseason. Did anyone actually believe he was going to completely blow it up? I do believe he'll blow it up and would gladly trade everyone but Sale. Where's this confidence coming that he's not going to trade Peavy, etc?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 10, 2013 -> 11:41 PM) Axelrod is awful. We're shocked

Axelrod on his way to being in the bottom 3 in the AL in ERA, BAA and WHIP. In other words, he's overmatched as a starter in the AL.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 11, 2013 -> 12:38 AM) Hahn mentioned him actually as part of our potential rotation for next year with Santiago,Peavy and Sale Axelrod or Johnson?

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 11, 2013 -> 12:21 AM) Axelrod still throwing meatballs....what a surprise One of the worst starters in the AL. Hopefully he's out of the rotation as soon as E. Johnson is healthy.

Maybe the Sox look at Sale's record and realize he doesn't have TWTW

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 10, 2013 -> 10:06 PM) He won't get traded. Never going to happen. It really would have to be a package that's too good to turn down (ie: Profar, Perez and Martin or Taveras, Martinez, Wong, Rosenthal). Neither team would do something like that though.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 10, 2013 -> 09:04 PM) This only makes sense if: 1) The Sox want to do a long-term rebuild like the Cubs or Astros, and it is the precursor to dumping off literally everyone else worth anything 2) You get multiple ML ready position players and then decide to keep Peavy and Rios and compete next year 3) You think there's no way he stays healthy for the length of his contract

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 10, 2013 -> 09:34 PM) I think Ellsbury ends up in Seattle. 6 years $100 million. Cubs and Mariners in a battle for Ellsbury, with the other one getting Choo

I could see the Sox interested in Brandon Workman. He was someone they were linked with when he was available in the draft.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 10, 2013 -> 07:56 PM) You say it sarcastically but it wouldn't surprise me if this was the truth. Agreed

caulfield, you must be watching/listening to different things than me, as just about everyone I've heard doesn't think Puig should make it.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 10, 2013 -> 04:37 AM) If he's already throwing from 45 feet, I'd say he's on pace for about 10 days from now. It just gets scary when they start mentioning possibly visiting the doctor that previously performed the surgery.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jul 10, 2013 -> 04:14 AM) He hit 91 a couple times. The 88-89 from whoever was overreacting. Here's his velocity on his fastball tonight: 87 87 87 88 90 90 89

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 9, 2013 -> 10:22 PM) Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 34s Jesse Crain said he played catch at 40-50 feet today. Went as he expected. Was first time he'd thrown in a week. #WhiteSox I'll be pleasantly surprised if he's available in the next 3 weeks. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0,5835542.story

Pirates offense really struggling for 4th straight game. Time to ask for the moon from them for Rios.

Man, Castro's velocity is way lower than expected. In the 87-88 mph range with way too many hangers. It's easy to tell why he's struggled so much in the minors.

Please put Wells in for Rios defensively

Is that 14 hits in the last 2 innings?

6 hits for Rios would be pretty cool

Phegley has a lot of work to do on his receiving skills

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 10, 2013 -> 02:07 AM) When's the last time the Sox had nine hits in one game?

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 10, 2013 -> 01:58 AM) Who are these guys? I'll take a win with Quintana pitching great and Viciedo (or Beckham/Phegley) having a huge game with Rios upping his trade value.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 10, 2013 -> 01:57 AM) He's obviously got something going on. His stuff is so good that he's still a good pitcher, but that contract may look horrible in a couple years You could see Scherzer passing him up last year with regards to stuff/command

Wow, that was freaking impressive
