Didn't BA have him in the 30s on their midseason update?

So then he should run for another office. I know that's what you'd be saying were the roles reversed. Also, very adept deflection to avoid answering about why you posted someone's twitter lie thread.

So does the Red Sox trade with the way Basabe has been playing lately.

So you found a person willing to lie on Twitter for the democratic establishment. Congratulations? I'm sorry, but Obama was floating the idea of a corporate tax cut by the end of his second term, and Clinton was on board with the idea throughout the 2016 election cycle. She even said she'd support the repatriation holiday in a debate against Trump. Video evidence at the 2:40 mark below: So to say that Clinton or Obama had a progressive tax policy is, IMO, a complete joke, especially by the end of Obama's second term. That's also the biggest issue to me personally, so I stopped reading after her complete lie on that point.

Wow, you just gobble up every piece of garbage that the establishment feeds you, don't you? Where are the calls for unity on this? Why didn't Pelosi tell Crowley to get off the ballot and let the candidate the people voted for have the best chance of winning?

Lieberman was a Democrat, lost his primary, then put himself on the ballot against the Democrat candidate. Crowley was a Democrat, lost the primary, then put himself on the ballot against the Democrat candidate. Does it sound familiar now?

I suppose, but I think I'm higher on Dunning than most. I see #2 potential in him mostly because of how solid and consistent he's been since coming over to the White Sox (prior to the injury of course). Cease obviously has ace potential and many people keep saying he may need to go to the pen, but I don't see a reason for it. He's done nothing but show he can start this year. So when does he get the call to AAA? Does he really have anything left to prove at AA?

Wow. They're going to have to rotate the OF through DH again, and will legitimately have 3 CF on that team.

Lieberman was a Democrat until he got primaried, ran as an independent, and retained his seat. Sound familiar?

No, the Democratic party does not, by and large, endorse most of the policies of people like Ocasio-Cortez, despite all of her policies polling at 60+% publicly. Further, "Democrats" like Joe Lieberman write scathing op-eds about why voters shouldn't vote for the candidate they prefer, but rather the candidate that will play better with the Republicans. This is not a display of support for these policies or for a candidate who supports them. This is a smear campaign by an apparatus of power afraid of the inevitable loss of said power.

The packaging doesn't matter, the policies do. Sell it however you want, but the policies have to be correct.

The general tenor around here is to not expect much in the way of trades or returns at the deadline for the White Sox, as some players have declined in value while others were never apparently expected to net much at all. One player who I think could provide some value were he traded is Jace Fry. He's young (25), cost controlled (6.5 seasons), left handed, and performing well. What he lacks in track record compared to a Brad Hand, he makes up for with youth and control, two things that are at a premium on the MLB trade market right now. I don't think Fry would bring Francisco Mejia, but considering that's what Hand and a second good reliever brought, I don't think a Top 50 prospect would be out of the question. If the Sox were to put Fry on the block, what do you think would be the best they could get for him?

I'm suggesting that White Sox fans, more than any other fanbase, seem concerned with the fairness of a deal and are quick to dismiss any proposal that would give the team good value as unrealistic.

This thread reminds me of a thing someone in the media said, can't remember whom, but to paraphrase, the person said 29 fanbases overvalue their players, then there are White Sox fans.

Tate is a real prospect. Bodes well for the Sox efforts to trade Soria.

The 1930s say hi. What stopped the bleeding back then? Worker protections, a strong pro-labor surge, and socialism. Why don't you think that's a good enough solution now?

Running on a platform of ideas that people like? HOW DARE THEY!

For 13 years, my experience of this board has been "green text means sarcasm". Literally no one has ever mentioned shades until this post, so I have no idea what you're talking about. Also, slightly better than things are now seems to be your end goal in all things, but seeing as I have kids that I want to be able to inhabit this planet in 80 years and not be living in poverty shacks, and seeing the political progression of the last 40 years, I don't see the time for the slow, crawling change for which you advocate that can just be rolled back every time the Democrats lose an election.

That's just stupid lineup construction IMO. I don't see why you wouldn't want Tim Anderson getting more ABs.

He's got way more swing and miss in his game than Buehrle did as evidenced by the K rate, and less control as evidenced by the substantially higher (though similar to Buehrle's year out of the pen) walk rate. Do they really want to risk starting a guy with 2 TJS already, though?

He got a lot more starts at AAA, and he wasn't effective there, either.

He is 7th, but I don't think they're going to call Kopech up this year, so once they trade Shields, Adams is a Covey pen demotion away from a shot. Also you all keep assuring me that most of these guys are going to bust, so he'll get his shot through attrition according to what most people on this board think.

Yes, another centrist war hawk that wants to make life easier for big banks is exactly what we need in a President. We haven't seen any of those recently.

I'll take the over if the Sox give him the opportunity. He's performed at every level as a young for level starter and while his peripherals may not be great, he records a lot of outs. I could easily see him being a backend to mid-rotation innings eater, and since he's ahead of guys like Cease, Hansen, and Dunning, he'll probably have a season and a half before those guys are pushing him for starts, which is right around 50 starts, and if one or more of them fail, he might hang on to that rotation spot for even longer.
