KILL ME FAST KILL ME NOW

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 02:44 PM) Trayce Thompson also had a less than impressive total career. Coats last year was good too. They are both cheap, and if they work out are cheap over the next 6 years. I'd also like to bet that neither morneau, coats or hayes provide the impact bat we need. Morneau may not be a star but he won a batting title in 2014. This team needs people who can hit. Lets start there. As far as star-hitters lets not hold our breath unless we want to wave goodbye to Tim Anderson, who is supposed to be the '17 starting SS.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 02:45 PM) The guy that hasn't played in almost 2 weeks? haha Not playing is the best thing that can happen to a Sox hitter.

Austin Jackson has actually come around some statistically. Bravo.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 02:12 PM) If you never develop a Hayes/Coats, you will always be searching for a washed up free agent unsigned in May to be your missing piece to get you over the top. They are both having a great start to 2016. The rest of their track record is Jordan Danksian. You do not move around your team to see if a Jordan Danks can develop at the major league level. They will play every day and when need arises later this year, fine. But I see nothing in their career track record that assures me they'll be better than Avi.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 01:59 PM) Would much rather play hayes/coats than waste a spot on a 35-year old first baseman when we are in 4th place in June. We're in a win-now mode. Hayes/Coats are for when this season is a wrap, but we are still a veteran group trying to make a playoff push. May/June nothwithstanding

2014 batting champ or Avi. Tough call ...........

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 01:43 PM) I'd rather them sign Morneau and have him suck than for them to stupidly trade away their best prospects for someone like CarGo as a "win now" move. Absolutely. CarGo is an underwhelming pick up for me.

If you recall it was said that he would start swinging a bat by June. So in essence he's just like Abreu BAMMM

Sam Panayotovich ‏@spshoot 15m15 minutes ago I'm hearing the #WhiteSox are actively pursuing free agent first baseman Justin Morneau. Cheaper option to fill need for left handed bat.

Saladino with a mind numbingly bad game

another nugget Chuck Garfien ‏@ChuckGarfien 22s23 seconds ago Hahn on Tim Anderson: "In all probability, he's going to have to spend a year in Charlotte..He's done his part to force up that time frame."

Connor McKnight ‏@C1McKnight 24s24 seconds ago Chicago, IL Rodon will skip his Thursday start. Discomfort in neck. Went down to arm. MRI was clean. Muscular thing. Gonzalez will slide in.

Probably the third catcher in the org now? Daniel Fields outrighted https://twitter.com/mlbtrwhitesox/status/739844789726629888

Anything that has been a concern recently has to keep being a concern. That is the nature of baseball. Sure Rodon has not bothered you in a few starts. Or Miguel G either. But that doesnt mean starting pitching is solved. Gonzalez has been beating the peripherals but these have not been impressive outings. Rodon is feast or famine. Latos all famine lately. Starting pitching NEEDED help. No question. Shields could be the third least meltdown prone pitcher on the current staff. At worst he's fourth. That fills a need. The hitting has been bad but the most readily available hitting talent right now isnt going to improve things greatly. Is a Jay Bruce going to 100% outhit Avisail? If anything i'd like the idea of keeping Coats in LF and Melky can DH. For a stretch here. Then you have the chance of having an elite defense, elite starting staff...and on the rest you pray for good bounces. Til some bats come available in the market that you want and can get.

Harrison Faulk ‏@harrison_faulk 9h9 hours ago My man Jason Coats might be called up to the White Sox tomorrow morning! sox Rookie ball (Voyagers) clubhouse mgr. Take it for what it's worth.

Another local name here, sort of: No. 96 -- Skylar Szynski, RHP Penn (Ind.) HS (-34) It's not so much that Szynski's stuff backed up over the course of the spring, but more that he didn't take the step forward some envisioned. A season of evaluation has led scouts to see him more as a third-round talent.

gotta admit this is funny https://twitter.com/_MarcusD_/status/738466689004736513

Saladino is still a 0 WAR player so i still consider that one spot where we could improve if there are bargain bin guys available
