QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 04:41 PM) I would have thought this would have taken traction on real gm bulls board, but I haven't seen anything. Curious to see whether this ends up being true or not (not saying you are making up, just whether the reporters are accurate). If the Goff's of the world are reporting it, you'd have to figure Cowley, KC, and others would get to that point. Yeah a GM being out on his ass is pretty big news in Chicago.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 04:08 PM) I really want to know the details of the Pau-Kings deal. This is what was said in the earlier Goodwill article.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 03:58 PM) Groupthink in midseason form, I see. The Sox have had a solid payroll for years. 3 playoff appearances in 15 years with that payroll and after inheriting a division winning team with a top farm is pretty poor performance. JR isn't cheap...he's just ridiculously tolerant of non-performing employees. The good news is that the farm system is churning out some good players. The bad news is that the braintrust doesn't seem compelled to take advantage of it. Apparently the name calling in lieu of an actual argument is in midseason form as well. It is difficult to talk about being tolerant of the players in the SLU when over half of them are new to the team this year. (catchers, Lawrie, Rollins, Frazier, Jackson)

Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 4m4 minutes ago Twins placed Glen Perkins in DL (left shoulder posterior strain), recalled lefty Taylor Rogers from AAA Rochester.

Matt Ball is off to a decent start working out of the pen. He is a guy that a lot of people were pretty excited about on draft day, and he has just been a huge bust since.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 01:56 PM) I saw in the one article that he told him to dial it back and then the next day he came out and Drake was on the mound doing drills and he lost it and cut it off entirely. After telling the team he would dial it back if anyone had an issue with it.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 01:48 PM) He trashed the organization by saying the organization made me choose, and I pick my son over all of my teammates." The big point in the story is the he says KW asked him to dial back the kid's presence and he said no. He then states that KW told him that his son wasn't allowed at all. KW insisted that there was no comment that he wasn't allowed. You can believe who you want but considering others children have been allowed into the clubhouse since the incident, I'll go with KW's side. If that is the case Adam lied about the situation to make the organization look bad. The part where LaRoche said if this was a problem, just let me know and I will change it, gets left out too. He was asked to change, and completely ignored it, thus forcing this into a national story instead of nothing.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 01:38 PM) True But I'll take the evaluation skills of the Dodgers over Kenny Williams, Robin Ventura and Don Cooper. Talent evaluation is much easier when you have a few hundred million dollars backing you up, and burying your mistakes.

Scott Powers @ByScottPowers More Bowman on re-signing Shaw: "I can't speculate, but I think we've had pretty good success finding ways to get those kind of deals done."

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 01:01 PM) Guys we didn't f***ing DFA Trayce Thompson, we traded him for Todd Frazier. The fact that we needed a third baseman more than literally anything else and the price was Trayce Thompson does NOT mean that the White Sox think Trayce Thompson sucks.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 12:49 PM) Adam Laroche will save him from us. *Cut to scene. The White Sox have proudly turned on their new and beautiful scoreboard. Everyone marvels at it. Except one person. Trevor Bauer powers up his drone. "I'll show the White Sox to know better than to use a picture of my bad side on their scoreboard!" Bauer's drone takes off, and flies quickly towards the scoreboard. At the last minute, Adam LaRoche appears out of no where flying in his cape, White Sox uniform, and with a baseball bat. "Where ever evils are to be committed, I shall be there to stop them. FAMILY FIRST!" LaRoche files inbetween the drone and the scoreboard. He winds up and takes a gigantic swing, missing everything. The drone smashes into the scoreboard, creating a large spiderweb of cracks in it. "NOW ON TO BANGKOK!" LaRoche files away. Adam Eaton emerges from the dugout, carrying his newborn child/ "Isn't he dreamy?"

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 12:38 PM) http://www.csnchicago.com/bulls/overcalcul...ng-bulls-season In that Vincent Goodwill piece, it talks about the Kings/Bulls deadline deal that didn't happen and also about how Bulls/Celtics talked about a Butler trade but the Bulls insisted on Jae Crowder and Boston balked. Interesting stuff. Tell me who this sounds like

QUOTE (MEANS @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 12:35 PM) That might have been the best overall episode of Saul so far. Usually if the Jimmy story is good, there's not enough Mike, or if the Mike story is good, they Jimmy story is slow or boring. That ep, perfect balance! It is also getting to season ending time, which is also probably why the stories are picking up steam.

QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 12:31 PM) I know. His offensive numbers have fallen since his days in Detroit, though, so I'm being conservative. I'd predict him to be somewhere in the .710-.730 range over the next couple of seasons. It would be pretty easy to explain that by A.) playing in Seattle and B.) not playing full time.

Thinking back, something else that gets glossed over... So how are Drake's grades? They talk about him a lot, but they sure left that part out.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 12:14 PM) When this story first came out I really understood it from both perspectives but at this point, f*** off Laroche. This story feels like Bangkok is an excuse after the fact.

QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 12:21 PM) I'd call that a slightly better player than Austin Jackson. I think that the Sox really liked Trayce as a fourth outfielder. Beyond that, probably not so much. Maybe he'll surprise us in LA, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Austin's career OPS is .731. He put up a .730 in 2014.
