White Sox scouting report on Jorge Posada
QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 24, 2015 -> 12:05 PM) I have to imagine Harper, Sale and Machado would be the Top 3. Throwing Matt Harvey into the mix as well, who goes #1 would be interesting. And out of that bunch, who had Chris Sale as the only to NOT suffer a major injury. Wow.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 24, 2015 -> 11:03 AM) Was reading something interesting on how china's huge investment into real estate to the point of overextension means they don't have an easy area to target to reinflate economy. They have huge levels of municipal level debt, as I understand it.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 24, 2015 -> 10:40 AM) The way I'd say it is their undervalued currency is a major long-term negative on the U.S. Job market, so they have a huge long-term impact, but short-term shocks in China aren't likely to flow the other way. Close enough. And right now their central bank is spending a ton of dollar reserves trying to keep that float from eroding, taking away some of their other economic stimulus options.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 24, 2015 -> 10:35 AM) The U.S. corporate market still seems strong, Europe is at least currently stable until the next Greek crisis arrives in a year or so (or in a few months depending on what the IMF does), China's fluctuations will hit the U.S. manufacturing sector even more but that's already been devastated so the exposure to the U.S. of that is limited. The U.S. market should weather this as a temporary blip/correction unless someone does something stupid...i.e. the Fed could raise rates in the near future as they've been threatening to do and turn this into a major rout...or we could run into a 2002-style explosion of all sorts of financial fraud schemes that were surviving as long as markets kept moving upwards & couldn't survive the down blip. Our economy affects China on a macro level WAY more than China hits ours. With the barriers to entry, things don't really flow that way.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 24, 2015 -> 10:27 AM) That their finger smell? Seriously, I don't know the answer..but am I right? I actually presume this is a decent enough to buy. But better yet, just stick with consistent allocations (DCA) and you should do fine (as long as you are looking long term). I don't invest for the short-term or with short-term funds so I can't comment on that. Anything I have in the market, the plan would be, that I have no short-term needs for such funds. Unless you believe China is about to collapse, it is a buying opportunity.

Numerous new prospect videos from Birmingham
QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 24, 2015 -> 10:04 AM) Anderson has, by multiple reliable accounts, improved his defense substantially this year. I feel fairly confident now that he'll stick at short. If nothing else, the error totals have come WAY down. Again, this is a kid who didn't play baseball until his Junior year of HS. He is very young in baseball terms, as well as real life.

The one thing that is really happy today is the VIX. The dow has had something like 1000 points worth of move from top to bottom. We have recovered about 700 points from the lows.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Aug 24, 2015 -> 09:13 AM) Yeah, these last 2 weeks have sucked for my accounts. A true China recession is long overdue. The only real question is how much their government will let happen, and depending on how bad it gets, how much they can do to stop it.

40 man roster
With the emergence of Saladino and Sanchez, plus Johnson knocking on the door, Leury's time on the 40 is probably ticking away. I also expect the White Sox to add a real 3B over this winter, which would all but seal his fate.

8/22 Games
QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 22, 2015 -> 02:11 PM) Of course on a day Davidson faced a future good major league pitcher, he goes 0-4 with 3 ks. Not sure what it means, but Viciedo is hitting .316 with Charlotte. Single and walk today. It means nothing. AAA numbers, especially for a guy that spent so many years at the major league level, are worthless.

GAME THREAD 8/23: SOX @ SEA
QUOTE (Mike F. @ Aug 23, 2015 -> 10:49 AM) Can someone that will watch the entire game keep a count of how many times they play the Miller Lite commercial? I would, but I won't be able to watch the game today. 18, one for each half inning.

2015 Films thread
I finally saw Gone Girl last night. Am I the only who absolutely hated the ending? If nothing else, that wife is crazy, and you are going to let her around a kid? With what she had done already, what's to say something about the kid wouldn't set her off? The husband couldn't have live that life.

White Sox Winner!!!
The best part of this game was the rally to tie it in the 9th. No matter what people think of Robin, and the teams chances of doing anything important this year, this team has never quit.

And we got him from the Yankees, who didn't think Jose Quintana was worth protecting on the 40 man roster.

Could White Sox trade some pitching to fill other areas in offseason
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 21, 2015 -> 05:05 PM) Seems like the same thing was said about Hector Santiago not so long ago. And that took how long to happen, even after he got to the majors?

Could White Sox trade some pitching to fill other areas in offseason
QUOTE (GreenSox @ Aug 21, 2015 -> 04:41 PM) Why? He's the guy we should trade before Rodon. His value is much easier to ascertain and he would bring back substantial pieces. Do we have to have a "proven veteran". Exactly how has that approach worked for the last decade. And if we trade Rodon it damn well better not be for some career year hero that people are all ga ga about. How would you replace two starters from this rotation?

QUOTE (shipps @ Aug 21, 2015 -> 03:52 PM) Can we resign Samardjiza to a friendly contract and then trade him? Yeah I would like that best. My guess is he takes the one year QO, unless he goes on a hella run the last two months.
