QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Mar 24, 2016 -> 11:06 AM) Bruce Levine ‏@MLBBruceLevine 17m17 minutes ago More cuts for the White Sox today . Players trying to dodge Rick Renteria coming to get them Also- Could relate to Gavin Floyd mayyyybe being available for a starting spot if we want that at some point here: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/aaron-sanch...ontos-rotation/ I thought over the winter the Sox made sense as a match for Floyd, but the numbers don't work right now.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Mar 24, 2016 -> 11:44 AM) Appears to be a few cuts coming today. Tim Anderson's locker was empty. #WhiteSox https://twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/713041057529724928 No big surprise there. We are about a week before they break camp, and Anderson did well during it.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 24, 2016 -> 10:25 AM) I am stating facts. 100% of posters would have been happy a week before Adam LaRoche retired if he retired. Then he retires and all of the perfect parents here know how to raise their kids and know despite not one report to the contrary, the guy LaRoche is doing a s***ty job of raising is nothing but a good kid. Just remember when you mention FACTS, the next complaint you read about Drake LaRoche will be the first. So if you want to rip people for assuming, you really need to look in the mirror. We assume a lot of things. KW flatly omitted he totally banned the kid, and then changed his mind. Do you know that he changed it right away or after LaRoche decided to retire? We don't know, and won't know. But again, LaRoche sucked so he is going to be the one who is blamed. There are so many things here that could go either way. I don't see anything wrong with his company using recent news as a promotion to sell product. Why don't they monitor LaRoche's twitter instead if you are looking for something to piss you off? So where is the "fact" that Adam said he would fix it if someone had a problem with it, and he didn't actually do it?

We don't know, and won't know. But again, LaRoche sucked so he is going to be the one who is blamed. You could write speeches for Donald Trump. You full well know that when people say they wanted Adam LaRoche to retire, they didn't mean they wanted an ugly and prolonged feud to emerge that kept the team in the news for days at at time and created strife and controversy in the front office and locker room potentially dividing the team and cause issues that could last into the season and hurt the team on the field. You understand the difference between what people wanted, and what actually happened, why are you acting like they are the same thing? Representing that statement as a "truth" is dishonesty on a level that would make Bill Clinton flinch, because it wilfully ignores 99.9% of what actually happened to make an argument that should have been over days ago. Take your own advice and move on if this is the kind of "truth" and "facts" you are going to try to pass off.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 24, 2016 -> 10:18 AM) I'm just commenting, and stating some facts. Adam LaRoche needed to retire. So he retires and he's an ass. Adam LaRoche needs to move on, now we have someone monitoring his Meat company's twitter feed to see if anything controversial comes of it, not to mention a shot at him for not thanking fans. Why isn't the tweet where he thanked baseball and said he gave him more than he ever deserved, from HIS twitter totally ignored. But fanning flames is one of your specialties. Fanning the flames is exactly what LaRoche has been doing since his feud with Williams. No matter what you think happened, the one obvious thing is that LaRoche is still fueling this to be news, and has been the entire time. It is why certain people have been fed information to keep telling his story while LaRoche stayed behind the scenes content to snipe from his companies twitter account instead of actually handing the situation up front. This should have been over days ago, but LaRoche keeps it in the news.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 24, 2016 -> 10:11 AM) He's been silent. I don't know why that is some evil conspiracy. He is gone, leaving the game behind. Why are you criticizing he not moving on when he clearly is, when you cannot move on? So this is you moving on?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 24, 2016 -> 09:55 AM) What? Familyfirst on a meat site for a 10% discount? And earlier showing support for your family member? Just awful. You guys complaining don't even realize how petty you are getting. Nah, petty is dragging this out over a long period of time for maximum embarrassment, while pretending to keep your hands clean.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 24, 2016 -> 09:36 AM) Acting all victimized? He made one statement and walked away. You don't like LaRoche the player, so now you are just making things up. He has been one of the most quiet about this entire thing than anyone. I think that is the problem. He has appeared to have everyone else doing his dirty work for him and let this drag out over a much longer period of time than it should have gone.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Mar 24, 2016 -> 09:13 AM) I've read a lot, but definitely not all of this thread, so this may have been covered. But I keep seeing people mentioning Rollins and to a lesser extent Navarro and Frazier as the ones who complained to management. Is there anything actually suggesting this is true or are people just assuming because they are new to the team this year? No one of authority has actually said it, but it has definitely been whispered by many and hinted at by others.

The crazy thing is Danks could pitch for years more if he wants. As a lefty who throws close to 200 IP a year, and puts up 5th starter type numbers, that has some solid value in today's MLB. Look at the contract JA Happ got this off season. While he wont make what he does not, there is no reason to think with another year like he has been putting up, John Danks will have a job pretty much as long as he wants it.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Mar 24, 2016 -> 09:09 AM) Really his success has seemed to hinge on whether he has his changeup working and locating well. His key has always been staying on top of his change up, and getting good downward motion on it. If he hangs it, it gets killed.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Mar 24, 2016 -> 08:58 AM) Have the Sox turned in his signed retirement papers? There's no chance he comes back is there? God I hope not. Papers were turned in, yes.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 23, 2016 -> 11:18 PM) Tipping bis pitches doesn't hide the fact that he has sucked due to his loss of velocity. His velocity was up across the board from 2014 to 2015.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Mar 23, 2016 -> 05:54 PM) Im really enjoying American Crime Story. Im not thrilled with Travolta or Cuba's performances but overall its very interesting. All of the Cochran/Clark moments the past few episodes have been great. I have been checking it out. I am curious how much of that stuff really happened, because a couple of those incidents are pretty hard core, especially between Cochran and the AA ADA.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 23, 2016 -> 04:51 PM) Before the arguments begin, a public service announcement and reminder - how much the team is worth is not the same as revenue, nor are either the same as money available to pay for things. QUOTE (raBBit @ Mar 23, 2016 -> 06:11 PM) What do you mean here? NSS nailed the future posts before they happened.

Aumont closes it out for a 6-1 win. He has not given up a run in A games this spring.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Mar 23, 2016 -> 05:14 PM) Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 2m2 minutes ago Two starts ago, John Danks tipped his pitches and Dioner Navarro caught it. Since then he's put up 11 straight scoreless innings. It is actually 12 1/3. His last 1 1/3 of the previous start were scoreless as well.

That was a rope to the gap by Anderson.
