QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 29, 2015 -> 04:49 PM) There is the option to give a star rating to posters on their profiles. 2 stars greg. That is pretty below average.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 29, 2015 -> 05:31 PM) Their prez is but they haven't had a gm since Jennings took the manager job. And Jennings was just officially fired. If he was upset about losing power in Toronto, the last place he wants to go is Miami.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Oct 29, 2015 -> 03:15 PM) Most careers don't have the tail that Fisk's did. For where this team is, I don't think Wieters is a risk worth taking. In all seriousness, how many 30 year old catchers with injury histories turn into Carlton Fisk, and how many wash out?

QUOTE (raBBit @ Oct 29, 2015 -> 02:43 PM) I know you can do this on any pitcher but Jennings also came in on Opening Day, walked someone, intentionally walked Morales to get to Gordon and then he gets Gordon hit a weak grounder up the middle that Micah Johnson just stopped and watched go by him. Jennings should have gone 1/3 with no runs. Instead he went 0.0 with 3 runs. If Carlos Sanchez was playing second base that inning he would have an ERA of 3.49 instead of 3.99 on the year. Again, I am aware you can do this with any pitcher but I remember thinking, this sucks for Jennings when it happened. Which matches his FIP almost exactly.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Oct 29, 2015 -> 01:09 PM) It's not really cherry-picking if 1 out of 53 appearances makes your numbers look much worse than they really were, and his ERA and FIP even with that appearance weren't that bad anyway. It's not like I took out 10 appearances. Especially in a situation where he was left out there on purpose.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Oct 29, 2015 -> 12:56 PM) If you take out his 6 ER in 0.2 innings against the Reds, his ERA for the rest of the season was 3.07. Definitely worth keeping around. Yeah, he took one for the team that day, and it changed the look of his numbers for the entire season.

Susan Slusser Verified account ‏@susanslusser I'm hearing that Athletics minor league hitting coordinator Greg Sparks will be the #WhiteSox asst. hitting coach.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 29, 2015 -> 09:56 AM) Gotta agree with LDF, debates really are just theater. Mostly because people want theater anymore. No one wants intelligent discussion, and respectful debate. By and large the general public consumes news somewhere between a meme and tweet of length.

Doug Padilla ‏@DougPadilla 13h13 hours ago Evanston, IL According to @JA_Todd, White Sox have three Super Twos: Dan Jennings (2.171 years service), Avi Garcia (2.167), Zach Putnam (2.135). Full list http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/10/list...qualifiers.html

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 28, 2015 -> 09:38 PM) They are chanting Johnny Cueto's name at Kauffman Stadium. It is friendlier than the Canadian/Yinzer version...or the PNC (Pirates) version. Another ex-Met told me deGrom may speed up on fastball and slow on secondary pitches. Or, seriously, facial expression may change by pitch. It's not really about stealing signs here I don't think. And that's not illegal last time I checked (anyway), the best in the business supposedly were the White Sox coaches. I can't remember if it was Hard Art Kuysner/Kusyner but there was definitely a Sox coach back 15-20 years ago Harrelson always raved about how he could steal opposing team's signs MOST of the time because he was so good at that, and reading lips. An Ex-Met told you?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 29, 2015 -> 09:02 AM) They love lake effect snow. They will have plenty of it, that is for sure.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 28, 2015 -> 10:17 PM) If nothing else, he has ZERO connection to the White Sox in any way, shape or form (unlike Drabek's father, having pitched for the White Sox in the low minors and then again near the end of his career). PROGRESS. This is getting ridiculous.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 13, 2015 -> 11:20 AM) Kenny's Gold Coast home just went up for sale. Also, separately, his son Tyler was released by the Sox this week.
