QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 06:04 PM) I want Hahn to do his job with KW not involved 100%, so I can judge Hahn fairly. NO general manager in baseball has that power. None.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 06:38 PM) It's so weird that he's one of the few players ever to be brought up that quickly. I'm guessing it was to get him signed, but that's unheard of I think. It was exactly that. It was part of his first contract.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 05:53 PM) That is the million dollar questions because the answer tells all. Why? What do you know about what Rick Hahn is trying to do that Kenny Williams won't let him do?

QUOTE (harkness @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 04:14 PM) Did you guys catch that? I'm reading that as he didn't agree with leaving Sale in that long. I am reading that as he was pissed off at giving up a two run homer in a 2 run game to put it out of reach. Cooper is the one who makes the pitch decisions anyway.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 01:28 PM) So why would you put a young player on the 40 man as you use an option automatically if he isn't on the MLB team...other than to protect against Rule 5? Pretty sure they had to protect him against the Rule 5 draft.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 18, 2015 -> 01:18 PM) Donald Trump is guaranteeing another 8 years of Democratic rule in the WH. He is not going to win anything.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 18, 2015 -> 02:48 PM) i said "Interesting" Some late bloomers are Wilkins, and some are Donaldson Almost all are Wilkins. A few are Donaldson.

It will be Bonifacio, I really believe.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Jul 18, 2015 -> 11:30 AM) To pull it off they'll have to overcome the toughest second half schedule in MLB according to Buster Olney at ESPN given the number of games they have against teams over .500. Mark Without looking up stats, it feels like we have played better against good teams for this year, especially outside of the ALC.

Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 4h4 hours ago If your a.m. coffee cup is half full you will see 2 teams ahead of White Sox with same number of losses.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 18, 2015 -> 08:53 AM) Never heard of that rumor. Abreu actually mentioned having lunch with him just last year and they have a long conversation when Puig was at 1st base in interleague play. I'd be curious to read more on that, if it is out there.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 18, 2015 -> 10:15 AM) In my hometown I was playing ball at the Boys & Girls Club (the main host for this sort of thing in that area) when they decided to quit keeping score in basketball. Had nothing to do with hurting kids' feelings. It was the parents losing their god damned minds about every little thing when the games were played to win. In my experiences in youth sports, the parents are BY FAR worse then the kids. I almost wonder if the trophys are more for them, versus the kids.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 18, 2015 -> 09:16 AM) Yes, this uses up one of his minor league options and he is now on the 40 man roster. He already used his option for this year as he was on the 40 man roster before this game.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 05:58 PM) Sale AND Quintana to the Cubs for Bryant, Soler, Castro, Schwarber, Edwards, McKinney, Baez, Steele, Vogelbach, and Almora. aka Hawk Harrelson GM's again!

QUOTE (harkness @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 04:15 PM) If he isn't going to hit with any power we should be selling tomorrow. I kind of with they would go back on all star break forever. Painful to watch this constipated team. Then don't. Problem solved.

Sanchez and Saladino play two. Bonifacio starts none. #DFAsoon

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 03:25 PM) I'm still bewildered as to what the plan is with Saladino. Just going to keep him indefinitely? Are we considering a change at some position--meaning someone is released/optioned--then who? And if not, then what is the point of starting the kid every day for a week of games? Bonifacio has one foot out the door if the Sox think Saladino can play at all.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 03:13 PM) And the Sox are last in defense. I will say this much. For about a month now Alexei's defense has been much better. He is back to a -0.1 dWAR. I remember seeing him as low as -1.5.

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 02:54 PM) Chris Sale to the Cubs for Schwarber, Javier Baez, CJ Edwards, Corey Black, and Gleyber Torres. Cubs would still be loaded and have arguably the best pitcher in the game locked up. Would the Cubs be giving up enough? You have a 26 year old that is arguably the best pitcher in baseball and happens to be locked up long-term at great value, how would you ever get his true value? Sox would get a potential all-star catcher, 2 guys rotation ready, a 2B/SS/CF with very good power, and a very good SS prospect for the future. I got through this whole post and became sick to my stomach at the thought of trading Sale. I feel like Quintana wouldn't get the right return since he's not a big name per se, and Shark being a rental wouldn't return a lot. If I don't get Bryant, I don't deal with the Cubs. That is the type of deal you need to trade Chris Sale. You need someone with superstar potential in the deal.

First 1/2/3 inning for either pitcher today.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 02:07 PM) This is ridiculous. Tell our hitters not to take balls an inch off the plate too - can't just leave it in the umps' hands! Yeah, you can't play the game where you take a part of your game away because the umps might screw it up.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 01:58 PM) Or maybe the umps/review should do what they're paid to do Yeah, I don't know how you can take anything else of that.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 01:52 PM) Only game going on now I think and yet it took so long and the y blew the call unless they think Avi got tagged on the arm before the tag on the waist, but other wise it's SOS ( same old Sox). 2 lead off walks 2 outs on the bases. Both of those CS were blown calls.

Some one see an angle that I didn't? That seemed obviously safe.
