I wonder what the report said" yeah, he is good". "Seems to be able to strikeout guys"

Hey guys, Thanks so much for the information. It is super interesting. I think it would be hard for me to go to games in the minors. It seems like individual success is way more important than any kind of team success.

Hey Guys, I am wondering if some of you guys can shed some light on this issue. Do the White Sox own all of the affiliates or just a partial stake? Do the affiliate have any control of which guys get sent up or down? If not, Do the other investors ever get upset that their team is a bad product on the field? How much money do the minor league teams bring in? Sorry, if some of this is obvious. I just always kind of interest me on how the revenue stream worked in the minors? Seem like the White Sox lucked out on getting to fairly large markets in Charlotte and Birmingham.

1. I would not trade for Brian McCann. He has not been good for 3 years. Robertson at least has a chance to be a difference maker in the backend of the bullpen even if he is overpaid. 2. I totally think the White Sox would put a waiver request out for Puig. I just don't think there is a chance in hell that every team in the National League passed on putting a claim for him.

You would think the Pirates would be in on Sale. They have enough pieces in the minor leagues to make a really solid offer and they are in need of a true ace. You put Sale and Cole at the front end of the rotation and they are serious contenders for the next three seasons.

I saw this idea floated out there a few times today. I can see the reasoning behind it. What do you guys think of Sale for McCutchen and Glasnow or Tallion? Pirates have Meadows waiting. We still get a young pitching prospect and a legit star. Only problem is McCutchen is controlled only though 2018.

If a package for Sale from Red Sox includes Jackie Bradley Jr. and Yoan Moncado with a few other pieces than you just take it. Moncado is my mind is the best prospect in the game and Bradley Jr. could play an above average outfield hitting with an OPS of 850 or higher. The front end of that package would probably be the best out there.

I think the larger takeaway is Austin Jackson is going to be out longer than they thought. If they thought Jackson was coming back in the 6-8 week timetable, I don't think they are looking for a centerfielder. Consider The Bust In FA: Jackson ( no fault of White Sox injuries happen) Rollins Latos That is probably 10 million dollars that could have gone to a useful player.

The problem is that they are really short on decent position players. I would like to see Coats more. Rodon would have been lit up by a good hitting team today. His fastball command is so bad some days .

Here is what I hope Ray or Rutherford The two hitter in the draft that have high floors. What I don't want: Underslot college pitcher that throws 90-92.

They need to patient. I am not able to watch the game but just following along online.. He has no control. Drives me crazy why swing 2-0 when he just walked the guy before you.

So what is plan B. I would hope it would be to add a player like Jackson and another starting pitcher without giving up a pick. I know our rotation is stacked with lefties but Cliff Lee is a very intriguing option to me. I would like to see an improved outfield defense. I hope the White Sox would think about 2017 payroll flexibility as well.

Sorry Guys, I have been tuning out a lttile bit more on the season. Is Hawk gone from the booth next year?

My problems with Sanchez: 1. He does not walk at a good rate. 2. He does not steal any bases 3. He does not hit for any power. If Micah is healthy than he has to play. If he can bring that bat to the majors, the fielding will come with more reps.

What do you think Jeff Samardzija value at this point? 3/36? It would not surprise me if he accepts arbitration and tries to pitch better next year.

If anything it shows a different mentality of how the White Sox front office operates. I think a couple of years ago they make a splash. Now they have spent so much time improving their farm system they do not want to risk pieces for a rental. I would love them to go out and get a controlled asset but I am glad they didnt buy a rental.

I really like us to see if we can get Carlos Gonzalez. I really think he will be the best bat available this upcoming offseason. We might as well make a run at him now.

Clearly didn't have it today. Robin should of taken him out after the first two runners got on that inning.

If Shark stays then here is what I would do. Also, I would not be mad if White Sox traded him for a quality return if they feel they can't win a wild card. 1. Put Danks into the pen. Bring up Erik Johnson. If you go for it you should bring up your best players. EJ is probably an upgrade over Danks at this point. They should not DFA Danks just in case Johnson has a similar problem adjusting like 2014. 2. I would do this trade. Spencer Adams, Montas and Garcia for Cargo. I know most people think this is a ton but they also overvalue their own prospects as well. Montas is probably a future closer. It remains to be seen if he will develop the command to pitch in the majors. Adams is the hard piece to let go as he could be a future number 2 in a rotation. That future still is a ways off and things can happen in the few years. The truth is you have 3 pitchers who you plan to have till 2019. If the plan is to sign Shark long term than that leaves one rotation spot. The White Sox would figure to put both Fullmer and Johnson ahead of Montas or Spencer at this point. I would miss Spencer but I just don't see them doing a deal without him in it. Gonzalez would give the Sox something that have not had in awhile which is a left handed bat that can be in the middle of the order. The fact is this team still has a lack of quality position players both on the current roster and minor leagues. 3. I love Carlos Sanchez as I think he really does give you a major league at bat. I believe he could hit .300 one day and is a solid defender. I would consider bringing up Micah but only if you saw positive improvement on the defensive end. 4. Just a general comment. This team will not go anywhere unless Alexi improves his play.

I know everybody is talking about adding another bat but one quick fix would be bring up Erik Johnson up and putting Danks in the pen. Danks will probably not average a 4.50 ERA the rest of the way. Lets see if Johnson can give us something better out of the 5th slot.

Would you trade Rodon+Shark for Tulo?

I still they should sell. For one thing, Rodon is still an offseason away. Until he increases his stride the command issues will persist. They should have tried to clean it up last offseason.

He has definitely fallen out of favor with the Dodgers as Alberto Callaspo is ahead of him in the depth chart. Wait till Hector Olivera comes back from the DL. There will be no room for him on the team. If you read the article it says that he is going to be a great hitter but his fielding is unknown. There is definitely risk here but it he is high upside bat that we desperately need as it is illegal for a scout in our organization to scout a position player who hits.

I know that he has been discussed on this board but it seems like he would be a guy we may want to consider for third base as the organization has no directions at all for this position. I would trade Zach Putnum for Alex Guerraro straight up. The Dodgers need middle relief to get the ball to Jansen. Putnum is having a great season so far but does us no go as our team is not in contention. What do you guys think?

Here what I don't get about this rumor. Are the Mariners seriously considering putting Nelson Cruz and Dayan Viciedo in the outfield together. It just seems like a potential disaster for them.
