I agree fully, and I don't think there are really questions about it. McCann will finish this season as a White Sox McCann will begin next season with a lot of money to be a starting catcher for a team other than the White Sox

And punt on this season? Seems like an awful idea when we are in position to make the playoffs for the first time in how many years?

Dude has been here for years. Can we at least spell his name right? It isn't even that hard of a name either.

It will take a player/coach/umpire death.

The other part of this is if we bring back McCann for years down the road, we also block Vaughn for a longer period of time, by pushing a lot of McCann ABs into the DH slot. You still have Jose Abreu on this team for another couple of years, and he will need somewhere to play. Even if you think Vaughn should play 1B, he isn't going to come in and shove Abreu out if he has no where to play. Abreu might end up going to DH, but they aren't going to bench Abreu for McCann or Vaughn, which means Vaughn won't have an open slot.

Then why would the Sox shoot themselves in the foot at the deadline by weakening a probably playoff team?

Last I heard, no QOs this winter was the rumor.

No one is giving that up for 5 weeks of Jim McCann. You might get a teams top 75 player, but not a league top 75.

You are throwing around "stats" like it has some meaning at this point.

That is waaaay to simplistic.

Yeah, just for the record, Gios worst start of the year was against the Twins. I really don't think having Pudge himself catch that hame would have made a difference. He has a 5.34 career era against them, so it isn't like this was a big outlier. He was great against Cleveland, Detroit, and a depleted Milwaukee offense. Again is there a real difference to be made there? It's not like shut down the 27 Yankees there.

Play out the string and thank him for helping us win a title.

Bulls pull down the #4 pick

9-1 so far against Detroit and KC. That will win you a lot of divisions.

Line dancing? Sorry, McCann has to go.

It was, thanks Detroit!

30 wins will get teams in. Most likely the 8th seed will be under .500.

That's why charter schools thrive. They can do that while public schools are forbidden by law to do it. All of the "expensive" students end up dumped in public schools because privates and charters make the "choice" to not accept them.

Huh, this seemed like right up Fox's alley. Maybe he can catch on with the news department.

This guy really knows what he is talking about.

Wait, didn't someone tell Eloy he couldn't hit homers anymore? We are winning by too much.

I hate you (and that commerical) soooo much right now.

I have all of my old ones. Sometimes the story is worth it.

Lucas almost gave up an extra base by pouting after that WP instead of paying attention and helping out his catcher find the ball.
