QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 01:20 PM) It seems like a crazy, White Sox KW type of move. Maybe no Anderson. That is a Hawk type of trade, forget Kenny.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 12:31 PM) He's the guy we would have picked if Rodon didn't fall into our laps, right? That is what all of the rumors said.

I am also going to call Zach Putnam being traded, though wouldn't be shocked if it was Pertricka.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 12:51 PM) I'd think about a pitching prospect and Melky. To your point I'd move danks but I doubt they'd do that. Without us giving them some cash though I can't see a match. His contract doesn't match his production (especially when adjusting for health). The only way i look at Gonzalez is with some salary relief. Trading Danks would achieve part of that. The basically match for 2016. 2017 would be something else as CarGo is $20 million, while Danks deal is over.

If we could send them John Danks, I'd think about it.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 12:37 PM) I think they somehow find a way to unload Danks. Jordan is already gone

I said it the other day, but one guy I expect to be a surprise move is Erik Johnson. I'd also be shocked if Bonifacio is here on August 1st.

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 4m4 minutes ago Frankie Montas is a one-day promotion only. #WhiteSox intend to go with six-man bullpen on Saturday and Sunday.

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 1m1 minute ago Rehab relievers update: Nate Jones doing well, Matt Albers, too. Jesse Crain had set back in last outing 7/5, nothing scheduled for now.

Mike Musary ‏@Muzzkill7 10m10 minutes ago @CSNHayes According to Baseball Prospectus, Chris Sale leads all of MLB in Pitcher Abuse Points, so an extended break is not a bad thing.

on Morosi ‏@jonmorosi 44s45 seconds ago Heard today that as many as a dozen teams are actively looking for starting pitchers. Complicated market.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 10:42 AM) Chicago White Sox ‏@whitesox 4m4 minutes ago Chicago, IL Robin Ventura has confirmed that Chris Sale will start Sunday. Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 11m11 minutes ago #WhiteSox were always going to throw Chris Sale on Sunday or later, no matter what. He's been a horse, wanted to give him a break. 0 retweets 0 favorites

QUOTE (shipps @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 10:01 AM) Danks is thinking you are his number one fan. Judging by the amounts of middle fingers he gets, a lot of people think he is #1.

Yeah for a top level closer, 3 years and 11ish million a year isn't much.

Finally some real baseball again!

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 09:29 AM) I believe the rule is (and I could be wrong)... If the rescheduled doubleheader is the day after the rainout, the 26th man is only eligible for the 2nd game because travel may play a factor for one team and not the other. If the rescheduled doubleheader is far in the future (like today), the 26th man is eligible both games. So I think Montas is the 26th man, eligible for both games, and he'll be returned to Birmingham after tonight. I didn't realize it was different in different situations. I thought it was for just the 2nd game.

If I am reading this correctly, that means another move it still to come, plus another for the 26th man. Stay tuned. Chicago White Sox ‏@whitesox 1m1 minute ago Chicago, IL White Sox have recalled right-handed pitcher @frankmontas from @BhamBarons. Montas will be active for both games. Montas will wear No. 60.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 07:36 AM) Per Rosenthal: One rival executive says he expects the White Sox to make a big offer to right-hander Jeff Samardzija in an attempt to keep the team's starting pitching intact long term. Sounds like a Mark Buehrle situation where they find a trade for him, and then put a contract in front of him and give him the choice. That being said, I like it. There is no way we win a bidding war for him, so get what you can for him.

QUOTE (3GamesToLove @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 07:21 AM) I hardly listen to any terrestrial radio; my drivetime is all podcasts or XM. I've never tuned into 790 in my life; I'll have to test out the signal today. Pray it isn't during Limbaugh. Though, even if it doesn't come in well I can always listen on XM, which I prefer to do anyway. Yes, it tends to be slightly delayed, but is still not behind my phone alerts. Plus it means I get the score and innings/outs on the display, which is crucial when you're listening to Ed Farmer "call" a game. It also enables me to listen to the opponents' feed when they're on the road. It won't get you very far as they are moving to 890...

QUOTE (BigFinn @ Jul 16, 2015 -> 05:42 PM) 119.33 IP / 157 K = X IP / 300 K X = 119.33 x 300 / 157 = 228 IP If Chris Sale is able to pitch 109 healthy innings at his current rate of striking out batters, he should strike out 300 batters. That would be the equivalent of 15 starts between now and the end of the season (figuring 7 innings per start). The Sox have 77 games left, which means Sale has a chance to start 15 games (maybe a 16th depending on the schedule). The numbers say Chris Sale is right on target for 300 strikeouts. FWIW, that would be 54 more IP then last year, and 15 more then his career high. In 3 full years as a starter, he has been over 200 IP once.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 16, 2015 -> 05:46 PM) Just watched a funnel from my deck. Exciting. I take it this one didn't have beer in it?

QUOTE (shipps @ Jul 16, 2015 -> 04:03 PM) While I appreciate this I would of appreciated an article like this if he called it before the disaster took place. It is really easy to look back in retrospect and criticize but mostly everyone was hailing their off season moves just as they did with the Sox. The writer did say he picked SD as his flop pick for this season, but you are right, I can't recall anyone calling for a team this bad in San Diego.
