QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 5, 2013 -> 11:34 AM) And one thing has definitely been proven THIS year, that's adding the super contracts like Greinke and Hamilton aren't the answer, either. Greinke's entire reputation is based on "potential" and the 2009 season. Other than that, he hasn't been close to an elite pitcher meriting the kind of contract he received. (Not unlike the days of yore when they gave Kevin Brown, Jason Schmidt, Chan Ho Park and Darren Dreifort millions for doing nothing). That's why the upcoming trade deadline is so important to all us fanatics. Everyone knows that signing a big name free agent will not happen. It's counterproductive. If we can all agree that Peavy and Rios have adequate contracts for their skill set/production, what sense does it make to trade them for what would surely be guys who won't live up to their contracts who most likely will be older than either one of them and cost more. It's exactly why I was saying that if it come down to it I'd rather Hahn eat salary to get the player he wants at the deadline rather than pay a much higher price for old, injury prone, over-hyped , free agents who will be paid based upon past performances that never helped you.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 4, 2013 -> 09:47 PM) How good a prospect is Phegley? Is he Sal Perez good? Is he good? From RotoWorld 5/31/2013: A former supplemental-round pick in 2009, Phegley looks ready to make his debut. It’s taken him a little while longer than expected, in part because he has a condition called Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP), which prevents normal blood clotting. By all indications, though, Phegley is now in control of his health, which might explain why he’s having his best season. Yahoo Sports 7/2 2013: Since Phegley has almost never posted very good numbers at any level prior this one, the White Sox are playing things slowly. They want him to really prove that his start is no fluke and become fully comfortable with the pitching in Triple-A. He did slow down slightly in June, but far from enough to constitute a slump. He still owns a .317 average, a .962 OPS, and a team-leading 14 home runs. Now 15 HR's.

QUOTE (woodstox @ Jul 4, 2013 -> 09:13 PM) Congrats but didn't everyone see this one coming? We all expected Phegley to come up and challenge, right? Yes. Once his Super 2 arbitration status passed which was I believe in mid June. I'm just surprised no one on the board took note of that date passing. There should've been a count down.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jul 4, 2013 -> 04:16 PM) Perfect guy might be Jim Gallagher. Lefty bat, can play 1st or OF. He's toiled in our farm system a long time and has always been decent. I say give him a shot, besides he's my AAP. Good man. Gotta stick up for your kid.

With the Sox out of it and teams starting to make moves., I don't see why they don't DFA Gimenez and bring up Phegley.

I'm now 3-0 in game threads . Guess I'll step up and put it on the line tomorrow but if we win I'm retiring .

Last walk off homer against Baltimore 1996 by Robin Ventura. Last time a Sox pitcher had 10 or more K's on 7/4 "Lefty" Williams 1916.

Q pitched magnificently. 7 innings 0 R 2 hits. Career high 11 K. Tough luck no decision. Now has 7 straight no decisions. Dunn 3/4 Walk off HR, 2 RBI ,now hitting .207 ! 2 hits off LH.

3/4 2 RBI Walk off HR . Now hitting .207 !

QUOTE (Joxer_Daly @ Jul 4, 2013 -> 01:57 PM) YEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS! Beautiful! In the words of a great American hero, "f@ckin' A"!!!! Magnificent! Joxer if no ones done it yet you can do the And thats a white sox winner thread

FIREWORKS !!

DUNNNNNN !!! WALK OFF b****ES !!!

Let's walk it off and set off a celebration !

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Jul 4, 2013 -> 01:29 PM) Quintana didn't deserve this...... Jones is horrid 1 earned run but the lead off walk and Dunn error on an easy hop hurt bad.

Flowers called for high fastball . Jones missed his spot . Dunn botched the ground ball . Sox in trouble 2-1 now. 1st and 3rd 1 out . Need the K or DP.

O's must be happy to see Jones in and Q gone.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 4, 2013 -> 01:03 PM) He's going to have to keep it up if we're to make a run at the division tittle. Signing Micker the other days was a start, but we still need other key components to come back and make the playoffs What does the signing of Zapata have to do with winning the division unless you're talking about the year 2020 ?

Hopefully he's done for the day though you never know with Robin.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 4, 2013 -> 12:59 PM) If we win today, I think we have to become buyers Easy there big fella.

I'd love to see some stat head find out how many K's Dunn has had through his last 35 games or so and compare it to any other 35 game stretch. He's making so much more contact now than I've ever seen him make before in a Sox uniform.

Nice piece of hitting by Dunn . Hard ground ball to the left side through the drawn in infield.

Leadoff double for Alexei. Here we go.

Q K's the side again. This time Teagarden, Markakis and Machado. 9 K's through 6.
