QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 08:45 PM) We're going to get that number two pick. We're determined. Fine by me.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 08:21 PM) Jermaine Dye...isn't that how he broke his tibia/fibia in 2004, fouling a ball of his lower leg without wearing any protection there? Yep

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 08:17 PM) Oh great, Rios leaving the game with a foot injury after a foul ball. 2013 so dam fun!

If he wants to leave ship him out.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 03:36 PM) The Jaguars have reportedly been interested in using him at QB Denver needs a center.

Spin the wheel make some deals.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 01:24 PM) Knobler says Royals are looking at Beckham and Rios. Seems the Sox are shopping Beckham around.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 12:34 PM) in my Mr. Burns voice..."exxxcellent" I sure hope he is gone soon.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 11:24 AM) Welcome to yesterday Really is that why thread was started today?

So much for the keep Peavy and build around him nonsense rumors. Andre Rienzo is expected to be called up to start in Peavy's place on Tuesday. Per Rotoworld

QUOTE (bighurt4life @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 10:49 PM) It would be a shame to miss out on the opportunity to get 3-5 young talented players into our minor league system because the owner is too cheap to pony up a few million bucks. That is a very short sighted point of view. You go from paying one guy 14.5 million per season to paying several guys rookie scale salaries (provided some of the prospects pan out) for the next several seasons. This is an obvious win and much cheaper in the long run. Reinsdorf only sees the 5 million coming out of his pocket right now instead of the 20 million he'll get to keep in the next 3-5 years because we replaced an expensive and aging player with several cheap and young players. Thats one of the great follies of any business(baseball) man, only seeing the short term loss/gain instead of looking at the long term savings of having a constant stream of young talent. This is why teams like the Rays compete nearly every season on a shoestring budget. They plan for the future by always looking to stock their minor league teams with talented players. When these guys mature, they come to the big team and play for relative pennies keeping the overall cost down while still providing quality play on the field. When someone starts to get some years under their belt and become too expensive they swap him out, let someone else pay the big salary and take on 3 or 4 young guys in return and start the cycle all over again. Case in point is the James Shields for Wil Myers swap this last offseason. They dumped Shields and his big salary for a 22 year old who is going to be a perennial all star and get paid peanuts while doing it. It's a smart way to do business, I wish we did things the same way. Why is anyone surprised JR does not want to pay any money in deals? The ONLY reason Sox are getting better players through the draft is the slotted system or it would be the old draft the guy who will sign the cheapest.

•The White Sox have shown no interest in absorbing any of the approximately $24MM owed Peavy and that, along with health concerns, are big issues for the Braves. Per Mlb rumors

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 08:43 PM) Maybe not. Starting pitching prospects are the best chips in the game. As far as I'm concerned Hahn has until about March 30th 2014. Does Erik Johnson and say Martinez from stl get you a guy like Stanton this winter? You're at least at the table. Not gonna get Stanton with Johnson and Martinez, will take a Kings ransom and Sox do not have the horses to get it done.

Sale gem wasted again.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 10:47 AM) If Hahn traded Dunn, paid 75% of his future salary, and got a C level prospect back, would you give the same congrats? This about the Cubs not the Sox. Theo came into a bad situation and has cleaned it up nothing more nothing less.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 10:20 AM) He just paid $18 million for a Jeff Soptic type prospect. Theo also has him out of the clubhouse and off the books, out of site out of mind. Cubs saved some money and the Cubs could care less about the prospect they got back. The deal was never about the return.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 10:00 AM) The house cleaning is complete. Who is even left from the Hendry era? Castro, Samardzija, & Barney? Got to give Theo credit he took the trash out!

SuperCena in the poster........shocked!

Crainwreck on dealing him.

Flowers another quality AB......

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 11:06 PM) 160 hours to go. Complete bulls*** for the next 159 hours. Sad but true.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 10:55 PM) A lefty coming off shoulder surgery goes up against one of the best offenses in the game and gives up 3 homers to good hitters. This is the EXACT response I'd expect from you. He has been giving up hits and home runs ALL year to everybody not just tonight. What EXACTLY have you been watching all year?

Please find a sucker to take John Danks he is getting hammered.
