QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 2, 2015 -> 01:14 PM) Let me ask this then.... When is the last time we signed or traded for someone and trade evaluators commented "he has the ability to be a Gold Glove-level defender"? Rondon? Trayce Thompson...? When's the last time we've taken an average or below average fielder and he became close to great? Robin Ventura? let me ask this then.... how often are 16 year old international prospects praised for their gold glove level defense?

The Lakers and Knicks are just getting destroyed nationally.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 2, 2015 -> 11:21 AM) I agree and it made sense at the time to go with John Danks. Little did we know that Danks not only would get hurt, but would get hurt almost immediately upon signing his deal and hurt in such a way that he'd never be anything close to his old self. What's interesting is that he seems to have fared better than other guys who have had capsule tears in the recent past - Johan Santana and Dallas Braden come to mind. Santana never regained his dominance, but he did pitch a no hitter after he came back. After that though, nothing much

QUOTE (LDF @ Jul 2, 2015 -> 11:19 AM) i didn't know that... you are saying b/c of Danks contract, right?? they decided to go with Danks and let Buehrle walk

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 2, 2015 -> 10:42 AM) Tell me again why the Sox let Mark Buerhle walk? Because of your very good friend John Danks

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 2, 2015 -> 09:18 AM) Lol all 16-18 year old prospects are all like likely defensively challenged. Exactly. And they are prospects, it isnt like the Sox are tying 2016 to their fates. More likely than not we wont hear much about these kids for a few years

a buddy of mine texted me that Oladipo is lining up for a 5/145M max contract next season with the new money. That is just silly

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 2, 2015 -> 09:06 AM) Great, more defensively-challenged players that will live and die based on instruction. Would be nice to hit on one of these "off the charts power" guys. Sounds like Adolfo's getting some competition to push him from below at least. The more talent injected into the lower levels....some of it has to pay off eventually. Lets complain about 16-18 year old prospects before they even enter the system!

Just chillin, watching the gold standard in pitching view angles

@whitesox: First pitch is estimated for 9:05.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 10:33 AM) Which is more likely, Terry Francona will be in the HoF for managing, or Robin Ventura? Wait, I know. If Robin had the same teams as LaRussa, Torre and Cox, he would surely be without peer in managerial renown compared to that formidable triumvirate. If you go by pythagorean (hello Phil Rogers), he is the best manager in the AL and Bob Melvin is far and away the worst (+5 vs -10). Gibbons in TOR would be second worst (-7). Mattingly is the worst at -4 in the NL, and Magician Joe Maddon is only at +1 with all those lucky or fluke wins. Buck Showalter, -3, not such a genius. Lloyd McClendon, +3, another candidate for an extension. Give everyone contract extensions with all that overachieving!!! If Ventura gets away to another team much closer to home, surely he will take the Angels to the World Series and beyond. ummmmm wat

Everyone likes large cookies though

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 11:15 AM) Jennings is back. Guerra sent down. that sound you just heard was Feeky cursing somewhere in Ireland

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 11:19 AM) Don't see that on their twitter Score update just reported it. I didnt look, just posted it

RealGM tweeting that Butler has accepted the 5/90M deal

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 10:31 AM) A dude I didn't know on Facebook legit thought that guys chose to be gay because they can't get girls. It was the dumbest argument I ever got involved in. sounds like a total dumbass

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 09:48 AM) Ummm...should we have a poll with nine other managers along with Robin and you can see how few besides yourself (Greg will pick Ozzie) would have the best record since 2012 if they had been managing the same exact White Sox rosters from that point until July 1st, 2015? Tell us who you think would have a worse record and why? Sandberg? Ozzie? Who else? Buddy Bell? Joey Cora? Jim Fregosi? Davey Johnson? Valentine? Washington? Remember, Francona also has White Sox ties, back to the Barons' team with Michael Jordan two decades ago. 2-4 games per season is the difference between making the playoffs and just missing out most years. Im sure that poll would be very accurate

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 09:26 AM) Dragic to Heat at 5/90. Have to imagine they'll keep Wade. That starting 5 is definitely scary for the east. Maybe even good enough to knock of the cavs if they are healthy. Also woj say Spurs are the favorite for Aldridge. Quite the replacement for Duncan. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH thats funny QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 09:53 AM) The Bulls also began casting a wide net to add a veteran guard. Rodney Stuckey, Gary Neal, Mo Williams, J.J. Barea and Jeremy Lin are just some on the Bulls' list, sources said. - kcjohnson i dont want Linsanity. He would get backup quarterback treatment to the extreme

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 09:08 AM) At least with the five recent ones, doesn't appear any were hate crimes/due to race: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/30/us/no-ev...rches.html?_r=0 LMAO. yea, all vandalism.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 08:25 AM) Really enjoyed watching him pitch with the dead-center camera angle in St. Louis. It allowed you to see the movement on his pitches so much differently. That's the gold standard for baseball viewing on TV. oh so now they have the worlds best fans and the gold standard for baseball viewing. F*** this bull****

It must really suck to trust your career to an agent, and have that agent play chicken with a front office and lose.

I like him very much

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jun 30, 2015 -> 03:46 PM) I heard another Steve Stone say he had no desire to do this. He likes what he's doing now. It is much easier to stand to the side and point out what is wrong, than it is to get in and try and fix it. Im sure Steve has seen many people he considers to be incredibly smart baseball men fail at that job, and doesnt want to become one of them
