Scot Gregor ‏@scotgregor 19m19 minutes ago Lot of good stuff from #WhiteSox GM Rick Hahn today. Didn't come out and say it but don't be surprised if he makes waiver trade or two Good question to Hahn from @ESPNChiSox about job security. Hahn said fear of losing job is not a motivator in how he operates

MLB Trade Rumors ‏@mlbtraderumors 1m1 minute ago Koji Uehara Out For Season With Fractured Wrist http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/08/koji...ured-wrist.html …

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 10, 2015 -> 04:13 PM) Pretty good point.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 10, 2015 -> 03:09 PM) So, I think I missed the big episode for him somehow. That scene where he randomly fires people seemed really over the top, but makes sense more now. There is a big reveal that still needs to happen for him. There is something big there we don't know about.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Aug 10, 2015 -> 03:29 PM) Have we heard anything about Sox players clearing waivers? Alexei, maybe? Haven't seen a thing.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Aug 10, 2015 -> 03:03 PM) I did too but once TB passed over him as well, I assume he has some shortcomings. Next candidate He and Sandy Alomar have been passed over so many times, you can't help but wonder what fatal flaw teams are seeing, that we aren't. It reminds of the Thibs situation to be honest.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 10, 2015 -> 02:35 PM) Five winning seasons in eight years. Not half bad! I'd bring him back with a clause he's fired if a committee of owner, GM and 2-3 others deem any of his public statements socially unacceptable. As a White Sox fan I found his opening campaigning for a contract extension with a year left on his deal and his team collapsing, then opening courting another job during the season WAY more troubling then any of his personal political views. His political views don't concern me nearly as much as his penchant for putting his own self in front of the team.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Aug 10, 2015 -> 02:16 PM) Only reason really would be to help our place in the standings for a better draft pick. I can't see Masterson wanting to come here, if he has a choice. Maybe at the start of 2016, but right now it doesn't really make sense. With us he has no chance at starting. It isn't often you can say "worse than Danks" and it be true...

Great stuff by Dan. I have a couple of his books, and am thrilled that he is writing for SoxNet. Also nice addition to the story Mark.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 10, 2015 -> 12:49 PM) Interesting insight. One quote left me with some befuddlement. Was this line directed at something specific? The last reference to something coming out of Guillen's mouth that was controversial was with regards to the 2012 season and the Castro remarks. This quote implies to me something happening since then but I'm not sure if I'm just reading that wrong? It seems to me it wasn't too long ago he was pretty openly campaigning to get the White Sox job back when we already had a manager.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 10, 2015 -> 12:41 PM) Meh, hate watching is part of fun of sports. You are the one who says f*** Detroit any chance you get. Hating Detroit is one thing. Watching all of Detroit's games as a part of that? Yeah, I can't get with that. Never have, never will.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 10, 2015 -> 12:23 PM) Ah, I misunderstood what the masochists was aimed at, thought it was referring to the multiple losing seasons they went through. Being in the Cubs thread, i thought that would be obvious.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 10, 2015 -> 12:14 PM) I agree. Could you imagine a fan base enduring something as awful as 4 losing seasons in 5 years? I can't imagine intensely following something I hate. Honestly it has more to say about the person, then anything else.

Soxtalk is full of masochists.

QUOTE (woods of ypres @ Aug 10, 2015 -> 11:13 AM) Expensive? I can think of about 70 million reasons.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 10, 2015 -> 11:05 AM) He has a good history of success. If he gets released, he'd be a good roster option for the team. No reason to for either party really.

Chris Cotillo ‏@ChrisCotillo 20m20 minutes ago James Shields cleared waivers, meaning he is eligible to be traded to any club: http://www.mlbdailydish.com/2015/8/10/9125..._source=twitter …

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 10:44 PM) What's the likelihood of Delmonico getting picked during the Rule 5? Don't think anyone's gonna give him a shot at the big league next year. How does the Triple A and Double A phase work again? Same pool of players as the ML phase, but without the 25 man roster requirement? 0.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 10, 2015 -> 12:28 AM) I didn't even notice that Rondon is in AAA. Ooof. Talk about do or die. It was an injury thing. They had just brought in Sellers to fill a spot, and then he got hurt.

QUOTE (L. Ron Paultard @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 06:50 PM) O ya, 1 last thing about the oft-used Chamberlain parallel. admittedly As bad as that was, at least there are 3 obvious mitigating factors: 1) Chamberlain didn't have the full benefit of precedent/hindsight that we do. (Incidentally, neither did the many Isolationist voices inside the US) 2) knowing the war was inevitable, Chamberlain was merely biding for time. 3) the Nuclear dimension. So that somehow makes this Vienna debacle even worse. If Ayatollahs frowned on dancing on religious grounds before... well, just paint the Mullahs' heads on my avatar Gif -- 24/7 you know it, playas bwa-hahhaha! Throwing pens and yelling is one thing, Over/under on how many times Zarif must have gotten up in a middle of deliberations, walked over to John Kerry's side and flicked Kerry's nose as hard as he can --- you know just to see what happens. Hi Brando.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 04:02 PM) Eddy may be my favorite "sleeper" in the entire org. I made the completely bats*** crazy prediction he'd be Top 100 by the end of the year and while that isn't happening, he's extremely fun to follow. Hopefully the glove catches up, but he is a guy you can't help but root for.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 01:35 PM) One thing that Kane's people have done so far is not start a smear campaign against the accuser, at least not yet. If you're in the right, take the high road and let the facts present themselves He does not need to. He has fans doing it for him.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 8, 2015 -> 03:06 PM) Really, you're advocating this s*** again? You're advocating that Samardzija hit someone on purpose after this is how you reacted to him hitting someone on accident? Really? greg you need to bow to your master, because Q just owned you.
