QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 13, 2016 -> 08:56 PM) But didn't they also give Turner something like $2.5 million? More "insurance" guys now. Which is better than the last couple of years at least when Carroll was one of the top options, along with Noesi. $1.5m

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Mar 12, 2016 -> 06:59 AM) Lets see how he performs this year before giving him a long term contract. The White Sox haven't had any success with ex National League players. Both Dunn and LaRoche performed well in the NL and came over to the AL and tanked. I'm hoping Frazier has more success with the White Sox than those 2 did. Carlos Quentin? Adam Eaton?

JJ Stankevitz ‏@JJStankevitz 8m8 minutes ago Carlos Rodon polishes off his fourth inning with a strikeout of Yangervis Solarte. No walks for him today, three strikeouts, two hits, 0 R.

JJ Stankevitz ‏@JJStankevitz 4m4 minutes ago Courtney Hawkins launches a home run in the fifth. Looks like it hit the top of a large concessions tent over the LF bullpen.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 11, 2016 -> 02:39 PM) I think the Cubs will be fine, but could you imagine what the reaction here would be if Robin Ventura brought in clowns to camp one day, followed by a guy walking around practice playing a guitar, among other goofy things, and the Sox record was 1-8? Not to mention the meltdown over Stereotype the Japs day.

QUOTE (gatnom @ Mar 11, 2016 -> 02:22 PM) Not good enough to overcome 3 games in 3 days. They can't do anything against their front line. Every time Illinois gets into the lane, they have a hand in their face. Purdue is just eating their lunch on blocks on the other end of the floor.

So much for Illinois.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Mar 11, 2016 -> 01:01 PM) Why though? Do they think the increase in Ks was part of the reason for his career worst ERA (as in he focused too much on getting the strikeout)? I don't buy it, he greatly increased his strikeouts from 2013 to 2014 and had by far his lowest ERA. Do they want him to throw fewer pitches? The defense is improved, but it's still far from great, so the fewer balls put in play, the better. To throw fewer pitches and work deeper into games.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Mar 11, 2016 -> 12:55 PM) Nah I agree with Balta. We need to be able to rely on Sale for 220 IP at some point if we want to make the playoffs, so sitting him isn't going to make that happen. Plus you're underselling Sale. His career ERA in August is 3.06, and while he tends to struggle in September his career ERA in that month is still 3.63, which is likely to be better than what we'll get from anyone replacing him. And I don't think sitting him is the way to get him to pitch better in September. The best way to take care of Chris Sale is for the entire 5 man rotation to make it able for Sale to not have to start every single 5th day. If all five starters can be counted on at a reasonable level, Sale can get the regular extra day of rest and keep his work load from being too intense, while still making every start.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 11, 2016 -> 12:41 PM) Sharpie is out tonight but Stephen Johns will be making his NHL debut. And they just announced the big Hoss is in.

This should be a fun one tonight in Dallas.

QUOTE (BigFinn @ Mar 11, 2016 -> 11:51 AM) I'll shove my chips in. 96 wins in the regular season, 11-2 in the playoffs, and a White Sox World Series Championship. Its March, let's dream big. I'll start sulking mid-May. 96 wins means everything went right. It means Latos makes 30 really good starts. It means John Danks doesn't suck. It means that the OF doesn't let nearly as many balls fall to the ground, while hitting a whole lot more than the did last year. It means the infield defense is solid, and their offensive output is good. It means Abreu and Frazier, are Abreu and Frazier. It also means the bullpen has a solid year, especially at the back end. I have to squint really hard to see that much going right all at once.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 11, 2016 -> 12:29 PM) Today's notes say Danks. And 4 to 5 other guys.
