WAS ANYONE IN THE BEST SHAPE OF THEIR LIVES?

These first debates will be crazy. How can you get more than one question to each candidate in the time allotted?

Dang, really wanted to see Trayce immediately.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Aug 3, 2015 -> 01:44 PM) Houston and McPhee both looked really good at OLB. Christian Jones looked good as well and Ego at least looks the part of a potential player. What position was Ego playing?

Scouted Gordon Beckham... :o

Would love to know what this really means for structure.

Is that article not parody?

So from what i've seen. The first 2-3 practices were disaster for the defense. Very negative notes on Fuller/Bostic/all safeties. The last 2 have been more positive, with positive notes on Fuller/Bostic/all safeties. Going to back out of the day to day of training camp. Forgot how annoying it is.

I don't know, hard to keep track, bunch of random tweets through the weekend. One of the PFW guys said CB was a real concern.

Is Trayce healthy? I heard he had nagging injuries through July.

Was just about to come in and post on that. Rookies learning curve is huge, difficult to come in and produce right away. It also sounds like Fuller still sucks and already has nagging injuries.

Really looking forward to following Zangari.

With how badly our bullpen was burned this weekend, they may want to keep Carrol a bit longer.

No way. White sox have higher than average run expectancy with runner on third and two outs??

Adam has been great on base paths recently

Team sure knows how to waste fan engagement. Opening day and this

I'm at this garbage. It's awful.

Enjoyed Aaron Leming's tweets on training camp today.

Could be worse, could be the padres.

I hope Trayce heals up. I want to see him in Sept.

QUOTE (spiderman @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 04:01 PM) My only concern is that the White Sox management may not know what they currently have. If there's any truth to that, then I'm concerned. They have played 100 games and don't have a winning record, but are just a few games behind for a wildcard spot, albeit being a few teams. Does the last 8 games cause the White Sox to re-think what they saw for the first 90? Do they still think the team underachieved for 90 games and are now playing up to what they thought? Could they have gotten more value on Samardzijia had they pulled a trigger on a move? This may not even be fair to the Sox, but they normally like to 'go for it' and aren't a team that typically rebuilds so not doing something, at least to me, signals they don't want to risk being wrong about thinking this team can win, but also not mortgaging what few prospects they do have. This was a good post.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 04:04 PM) Therein lies the problem....judging that ability to compete based on beating two last place teams on the road (and the Red Sox were in a horrendous slump, something like 2-12 or whatever) isn't much of a basis for suddenly believing they'd changed or transformed at the drop of a hat. Saladino's suddenly a core, franchise piece...at 3B? The odds just aren't in favor of that going by his entire career MILB history. I don't know, Saladino was jerked around a bit and probably overpromoted, when he settled into AA and AAA he resembled his earlier years. He has shown .800+ OPS at multiple levels.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 03:54 PM) Recall that Scott Kazmir, who one would assume has a similar value to Samardzija, garnered the A's ... not a single top 200 prospect. And Mike Leake garnered the top arm in giants farm.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 03:49 PM) And Eric Johnson was a top 100 until last year but now he's rebounded to possibly be even better than he was when he was a top 100 guy. Oh? Is Eric Johnson a position player now?
