QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 23, 2014 -> 10:15 AM) Speaking of Soptic, here are his numbers..... http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...&pid=573168 Yikes, great trade Rick Hahn 52 walks in 45 innings? Wow.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 23, 2014 -> 10:07 AM) Oh boy.... That's not a bad offer at all. Again unless Love states that he will only resign here, it is a complete waste of time.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jul 23, 2014 -> 09:24 AM) Article in this morning's IndyStar about Park Tudor HS and IU's Micah Johnson: http://www.indystar.com/story/sports/high-...ation/13000593/ Nice read. Did not realize he was a Park Tudor kid.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 23, 2014 -> 09:30 AM) Yes, and he was signed by the Cubs. Which makes him the biggest prospect ever.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 23, 2014 -> 09:30 AM) How come nobody wants to give Phegley another shot? His numbers have been climbing as well? Because even if he is hitting a bit better, he is a clown car show behind home plate.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 23, 2014 -> 12:20 AM) I think even his critics would see him as a great choice if he'd commit to the job. He's obviously by far the most qualified. But he's already had enough stress in his life I can't see him wanting to do it. Because of the Presidential hate, it would be more of a distraction for baseball than it is worth... [wait for it]

Look at the Charlotte numbers as a whole, I really wonder if there is a ballpark factor going on here. The homer numbers there are insane.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jul 23, 2014 -> 08:39 AM) I can't see the Sox doing this. If Dunn were a locker room cancer or something perhaps they would eat the money to get him out of the locker room, but by all accounts he is a stand-up guy and well liked in the clubhouse. There is the possibility that the Sox may re-sign him at the end of the season as well, so I am not sure they want to sever the relationship in that way. I think Dunn on a short term deal, at a fraction of his current price, makes some sense for the Sox.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 11:17 PM) I'm with J4L on this one. I'm not sure about how I feel re:Wiggins vs. Love because I'm not super high on Wiggins either, but Love is very much overrated IMO. As said, not useful on D and the type of guy on O that both relies on teammates yet doesn't create opportunities for them. I think you'd see a very Bosh-like drop in statistics if he goes to CLE Agreed. It is much different being "the man" on a really bad team. It is quite another to be the 2nd or 3rd on a really good team. I think Love makes them better today, but I think Wiggins is better in the long run. He seems like the type of player that makes his team better, versus Love who isn't.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 23, 2014 -> 05:30 AM) Sign Vinny Scarsella Can he 2C?

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 07:45 PM) I never really thought Konerko wasting a roster spot would bother me. Turns out it really is. Sox are 5 back of the WC every AB counts. It might just be smoke and mirrors and hope but eh. Then we are talking about someone like Jordan Danks.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 07:29 PM) Well that makes sense but there is no explaining away having Conor bat 3rd. I'm all for giving Jose more days off; Just doesn't make sense to do it against a soft tossing LHP unless he's feeling under the weather. With two righthanded players basically gone from line up and a four man bench, your options are pretty limited.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 07:21 PM) Come on, no Jose? Why couldn't he just DH and let Konerko stay on the bench. Ostensibly Kong is good against LHP, in reality he's awful. and Gillaspie batting 3rd against LHP, jesus. He said he looked tired and had a stiff back.

Chicago White Sox ‏@whitesox 1m Lindstrom threw another bullpen session today and remains on schedule to throw live BP in Minnesota.

Chicago White Sox ‏@whitesox 56s Coop is still out with vertigo and in unsure whether he will make the trip to Minnesota.

Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi 15m Selig said MLB plans to play games outside US and Canada next year, multiple sites under consideration. Sources say London is one of them.

Nathaniel Stoltz ‏@stoltz_baseball 7m Jason Coats gets a ton more backspin on the ball than last year. Not sure there's enough raw strength for more than 5 power though.

Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 4m Abreu has some stiffness/soreness in back. Minor, Ventura said. Should be back tomorrow. Avail to pinch hit tonight.

Doug Padilla ‏@ESPNChiSox 6m Day off for Abreu. Ventura thought he looked a little slow so it's just a breather. Flowers' wife had a baby after last night's game. He won't start but is expected be here at game time.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 04:03 PM) If anything, I just think the Astros have Danks' number. He's been decent outside of the starts against Houston. Damn. You aren't kidding. They have an 1.180 OPS against him in his career. That is 300+ points higher than any other team in his career. 9.15 ERA, 2.032 WHIP, 8 HR against in 20.2 IP.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 03:48 PM) To me, they're ready to contend next year. Had Avi not got hurt and they figured out the bullpen earlier they'd be right in the thick of things. The injuries to Jones and Lindstrom blew a pretty big hole in the pen.

I am still waiting for my call.
