QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Sep 23, 2014 -> 01:47 PM) Exactly. Carroll put up a 1.83 ERA in 19.2 innings as a reliever this year. A small sample but its something to go by and its likely he would be the long man in the pen. It also picks up the same in his numbers when you look at how many times a batter sees Carroll as a SP... 1st AB .764 OPS against in 162 PA 2nd AB .771 OPS against in 162 PA 3rd AB 1.023 OPS against in 129 PA 4th AB 1.250 OPS against in 4 PA As a reliever 1st AB .574 OPS against in 53 PA 2nd AB .851 OPS against in 24 PA

He plays about 10 minutes from where I live. Maybe I will try to catch him play this year.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Sep 23, 2014 -> 01:34 PM) Think the Yankee's would be willing to part with Dellin Betances for Alexei ? Maybe David Robertson or Brandon McCarthy ? Yankees probably go for Scherzer or Shields ,can afford to give up McCarthy maybe a prospect with McCarthy. Trade a reliever for Alexei? Surely we can do better than that.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 23, 2014 -> 01:11 PM) I don't see why its impossible for him to have a role in the bullpen. He was actually a decent bridgeman in the pen this year.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Sep 23, 2014 -> 11:28 AM) Sox and Danks need to part ways hopefully a trade partner in found this winter. Danks salad days are behind him. The only way Danks gets dealt this off season is if we either pay most of the remaining contract (not happening) or take on another bad contract instead. Are you ready for the BJ Upton era?

Yeah, he looks much cleaner now. Hopefully this carries over to next year. http://www.southsidesox.com/2014/9/23/6832...h-seasons-again

QUOTE (scs787 @ Sep 23, 2014 -> 10:32 AM) Pirates GM Neal Huntington:"We are going to try to do everything we can to keep Russ.We’d love nothing more than to have (Martin) in a Pirates uniform (Martin) is a unique circumstance where we got beat up for singing him & if he does (leave), we are going to get highly criticized" I'd love Martin, but I'd be shocked if he's not a Pirate next year. I'm ok with trading Lexi as long as the package includes at least 1 guy who's gonna contribute at the ML level. I really think the Sox can compete as early as next year so I'm not interested in trading him for a bunch of minor leaguers. I've been high on VMart and if they can get him for 2 year with an option for a 3rd I'd do it all day. I can really care less about the inability to have a rotating DH. You have a rotating DH when you don't have a good DH. I think VMart has at least 2 good years in em. I would be surprised to see the Pirates open the checkbook that wide.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Sep 23, 2014 -> 10:00 AM) The Sox are sitting at at 10-9 in September. Robin's driving us into the ditch before the finish line again. Probably the best example out there showing the team hasn't quit, which means he is still getting through to a team, even when they have no reason to be playing hard.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 23, 2014 -> 09:36 AM) According to one of the articles I read about his performance last night he just added the slider in Spring Training and then didn't get to work with it much at all this year due to injury. Wondering if that extra pitch, long term, could be a key for him. I wonder if the slider is what gave him this recent run of injury problems.

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Sep 23, 2014 -> 03:28 AM) AJP for backup catcher next year. Go ahead, tell me I'm crazy. Won't happen. Either we get a good starting catcher on the market somewhere (trade probably) or Flowers/Nieto/Phegley are the catchers next year. They aren't going to bring in a back up when they already have cheap back ups on the roster.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 23, 2014 -> 08:23 AM) I think Bassitt will start the year in AAA and be the 6th starter for the White Sox down there. It's nice to see he's doing this, but let's see how he handles AAA too. Regardless of any moves they make in the offseason, I think he and Carroll will be the guys on the outside looking in come May 1st or so. I wouldn't be shocked to see him start at the ML level and then be the guy that gets sent out for Rodon in June.

There is not a doubt in my mind that both Viciedo and De Aza would have screwed up that line drive catch that Sierra just made in LF.

QUOTE (lord chas @ Sep 22, 2014 -> 07:50 PM) Just unfortunate that a minority ruin it for everyone else. There are also some people that go into it looking for trouble. I have gone into Soldier Field about 7 or 8 games wearing a Packer jersey with no problems. You will hear a comment here and there but it is usually in good fun. Sad that it can unsafe to bring kids because some idiots want to be a tough guy And that is always how it is. It is the reason I usually don't do Sox gear very loudly at opposing parks. It only takes one idiot.

Great hitting team? Check Team in contention needing a win? Check Really nice night by the Hound, and one that can't be poo-poo'd because it is against a bad team.

Notice the White Sox were not mentioned...

Tyler Flowers is now tied for the team lead in homers since August 1, with Dayan Viciedo.

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Sep 22, 2014 -> 04:46 PM) Fight at Cardinals - 49ers game. DARNELL DOCKETT ✔ @ddockett Follow Who was the guy in the Dockett jersey in the brawl at the cardinals game??? Contact me I have some tickets for you. I like that sh*t.?

Bears fans are the lowest common denominator of Chicago sports fans, and it isn't even really close.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 22, 2014 -> 05:57 PM) Would be surprised if he didn't play in finale. Maybe Paulie doesn't want final game of season to take away from his teammates and thus they are doing day before? I bet like they did last year where he starts and gets one AB and comes off of the field after he takes the field in the 2nd inning to a standing ovation.

If Martinez leaves Detroit, I think Seattle is the top desination for making sense and wanting to win now.
