QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 13, 2013 -> 07:37 PM) Look at his splits last year. He had a nice 1/3 of the season to start then basically went back to being s***. Even with all those HRs he was still basically a 1 WAR player because of his s*** defense, playing DH, s*** baserunning and s*** (for a DH) OBP. he's had two nice months as a Sox. The rest of the time he has been complete and utter garbage. How his string hasn't run out,well, we got 16 or so million reasons why I guess. He was a major league baseball player all of last year. I realize his play dropped off especially late with that oblique business, but he wasn't this negative WAR player

If we could just make 40% of our shots from here on out, it will be competitive

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ May 13, 2013 -> 07:35 PM) He's in his head like the rest of these mental midgets. Sounds like the coaching is lacking, then

Nate is absolutely broke.

I'm searching for a logical explanation as to why he was basically fine last year and he's looking far worse than 2011 so far this year. The approach change made sense early, but he has clearly abandoned that

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ May 13, 2013 -> 07:22 PM) If Konerko is hurt that is one thing, but there has been no reports to say so. One way to break a slump if you're a right handed hitter is to face a left handed AAA fodder like this loser. From the sound of it, he's been having considerable difficulty dealing with daily wear and tear

Damn, I didn't realize he could hit it like that and not go out

first base is open...take it

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ May 13, 2013 -> 07:17 PM) Why the f*** is Dunn playing for Konerko against this left-handed s*** baller that could only get out lefties in the minors? Presumably because PK can hardly play consecutive games at this point

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 13, 2013 -> 07:17 PM) Consecutive base hits. I'm not sure what is going on. Pedro might be a good slumpbuster for us

ADA leading our position players in WAR

Turnovers, missing shots. We can make this closer, but it's tough to say how much we have in the tank. We won't shoot 27% in the second half though

It is pretty cool to see your article as the top news result when you google "White Sox"

QUOTE (Marty34 @ May 13, 2013 -> 06:56 PM) Right. Dealing guys like Peavy, Rios, and Ramirez does not constitute an Astros-like rebuild. I would say...that depends. What are you getting back? MLB players is something I'm willing to think about...but A-ball aged minor leaguers means we're waiting a long while for MLB production.

Not sure what to make of Phegley, who hasn't really been very impressive with the bat thus far in his career

My impression is that PK really needs these days off.

Good lord the continuation on that LeBron fast break

Rip...city?

I figured Thibs was trolling by putting Rip in there

Our glut of pitching should yield a major league hitter at some point. Axelrod should be worth a 1 WAR hitter

2005 White Sox is the model. You dump some pieces if you think the return makes you better, but not every piece. No use in being bad.

We sure came out flat.

linky It's worth reading all the way through. Basically, a tear down doesn't offer enough benefit -- especially when our pitching is basically elite.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 13, 2013 -> 04:56 PM) That there's American League power. There's a fair amount of power there, but that's about it. Not much speed, no on base ability, no good average bats...

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 13, 2013 -> 01:54 PM) BRING HIM BACK But really. We need another lefty, yes?
