Sox do not have a protected pick at #12. I do not see any big name free agents signing that cost that pick. Trades only way team improves. I do not see what changes with Renteria he was here all year and knows the pecking order.

Until JR is gone the Bill Wirtz show continues, with KW playing the role of Bob Pulford. Fan base is completely fed up. Changing managers is putting a band aid on a compound fracture.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Oct 2, 2016 -> 04:03 PM) I hope turner is faaaarrrrr away next year.. ugh! Half the 25 man roster needs far away, way too many guys on this team who have no business wearing a MLB uniform. Yet KW survives to collect more checks and do nothing to get team too playoffs.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Oct 2, 2016 -> 02:19 PM) According to MLB sources White Sox Executive VP of BB opts Ken Williams ,is not stepping down from the post.(Some reports had him leaving) https://twitter.com/MLBBruceLevine/status/782660367738699776 This F'N sucks..................expect same results of sub .500 ball.

Someone should be fired or released for allowing that punt return only the Bears.

QUOTE (He Gawn @ Oct 2, 2016 -> 02:18 PM) Leury Garcia putting his home run potential on full display Hope this is last time I have to see him in a October game. Buxton already a Sox Killer.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 2, 2016 -> 01:21 AM) Does Trump actually have any supporters? He's going to lose in a landslide. The sad thing is some Americans think Hillary is just as bad as Trump and I am one of them. She is no better. Our country couldn't come up with better candidates?? He may lose but a landslide it will not be.

Meet the new boss same as the old boss.................nothing is changing Renteria knows what is expected at the country club. KW leaving is a MUST!

4th and 1 Bears seem to fail often

QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Oct 1, 2016 -> 10:58 AM) Dump Shields however possible (which means just paying him to go away) Retain M. Gonzalez Trade Q and Robertson to Boston for Travis Shaw, Eduardo Rodriguez, Rafael Devers, Luis Alexander Basabe, Michael Kopech, and Blake Swihart I think a trade like this works out great in our favor. There's no question in my mind that we need to trade at least 1 of Sale or Q to rebuild an organization that obviously doesn't have enough talent. A trade like this would add 3 very young and talented prospects into the system to develop while also adding Shaw and Rodriguez to the majors roster as young pieces to build on. Swihart being the wildcard to take a shot on as I'm sure Boston wants him gone. This also adds some payroll flexibility by forcing Boston to take on Robertson's contract as well. I'm sure there will be some outcry because I'm not getting 1 of Boston's big name prospects but I don't think we can sacrifice quantity for 1 big name like Bennitendi or Moncada that will hurt the overall package we can get back. Free Agent Signings Nick Hundley Michael Saunders Jeremy Hellickson -Hundley is another shot at adding a vet to stabilize the C position for now, could be 1 of several names on the FA list if you don't like Hundley -Saunders is talented and relatively young still. Can play good OF D and adds pop as well. He won't be cheap but also won't break the bank. -Hellickson is a solid vet who can be a stable presence to the rotation. Will come back down to earth a little back in the AL but he should be above average and consistent. Again, shouldn't break the bank either. C- Hundley/Narvaez 1B- Shaw/Abreu 2B- Sally/Lawrie SS- Anderson 3B- Frazier LF- Saunders CF- Eaton RF- Melky/Tilson/Swihart DH- Abreu/Melky Eaton Melky Abreu Frazier Shaw Saunders Anderson Hundley Sally/Lawrie Tilson/Swihart battle it out for last roster spot on offense. Most likely Tilson because of D. SP- Sale SP- Rodon SP- Hellickson SP- Rodriguez SP- Gonzalez Middle Relief- Putnam Petricka Purke/whoever steps up as the 2nd lefty Kahnle/Ynoa Late Inning relief- Jennings Jones Fulmer Burdi Just put Fulmer in the pen and let him throw gas. He's not built to be a starter and his mechanics and stuff aren't built for it either. Fulmer/Jones/Burdi could make a dominant force in the pen to shorten games ala the Royals. Go ahead and tear it apart.... And another 75 win season seems like Sox would be spinning tires with this.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Oct 1, 2016 -> 07:54 PM) There are rumors out there stating Kenny Williams will finally step down from his post on Monday. Can this actually be true? Dear God be true

Buxton has killed the Sox last month

Illinois ever since the game at Penn ST which was Paterno's last game, have not got any calls home or away. Illinois leads Big Ten last 20 years in apology letters from Big Ten saying we made a mistake sorry!

Funny how much better Sox play with no pressure.

Get some runs for Q

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 29, 2016 -> 12:38 PM) The reality of revenue is this. The White Sox are no where near the big market teams in terms of dollars earned. The Yankees brought in $516 million in revenue last year. Tampa brought in $193 million. The White Sox brought in $240million. That's on JR 100%, not the fans. Way past time too sell.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Sep 28, 2016 -> 07:16 PM) If the White Sox are not blaming Ventura for the past five seasons but rather "roster deficiencies", then I wonder when we can expect heads to roll in the FO? Status Quo as usual.............bad luck ask KW.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Sep 28, 2016 -> 04:40 PM) Unfortunately this would mean that williams and Hahn will be back (a new FO would not retain Ventura). More years of Williams and Hahn clownshows is the real problem. It's been a issue for years not that JR cares.

If he comes back JR can say goodbye to a lot of fans just a POS organization top to bottom If this really happens. NO accountability EVER!

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 27, 2016 -> 12:18 PM) If WWE buys it, Broken Matt better just wander onto Raw one Monday. WWE only wants tape library and a couple of wrestlers that's it according to Meltzer.

According to TMZ Sports, Fernández and one of the other people killed in the crash were seen a popular Miami waterfront "party spot" around 2:00 am Sunday morning. The restaurant has a dock that can be accessed by boaters and is said to be a "short distance" from the crash site. Sources for Dan Le Batard of ESPN and the Miami Herald have told him that Fernández was drinking that night. "He left that bar with a bottle of Don Julio [tequila]," Le Batard said on ESPN Radio. "It's a bar you can pull up to in your boat and I know he was drinking." Le Batard went on to say that the Marlins had grown worried about the 24-year-old's behavior away from the ballpark. "The Marlins were worried about his off-field behavior," Le Batard said. "If this life was lost in a way that was reckless ... If drinking was involved, it doesn't make it any less tragic, but it does make it more reckless."

I read he died from crash and not from drowning, boat was going 55 to 60 mph when it hit Jetty.

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 25, 2016 -> 08:55 PM) I mean, we aren't close to firing Pace. But he has to get better. He has let more talent go than he's brought in. It's okay, he wanted to build a team through something other than free agency but we aren't seeing any impact talent. But Loggains is may be hurting our offensive development. Dude is maybe the worst in a long line of bad OCs He makes Schoop look good.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Sep 25, 2016 -> 08:53 PM) Injuries or not, rebuild or not, they should look like a competent football team. Losing games is expected but they should not be embarrassed and outplayed every minute of the game. Fox isn't doing his job. If it continues he should be gone. They are worst team in NFL right now hands down. Fox not adding anything positive right now.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 25, 2016 -> 08:52 PM) Yeah, you're telling me, I have tickets for all those home games! I guess it depends how long they will give Pace. If you are gonna let him hire a new coach, he probably deserves at least 2 or 3 years I feel for you, sucks for us to be Bear fans right now
