QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jun 10, 2014 -> 07:01 AM) There is still a learning curve and they need to know these kids will pan out. Waiting for the plan to all unfold at once is risky. So is selling all of your good players and rebuilding from the ground up.

DE-TROIT SUCKS!

QUOTE (GoGoSox2k2 @ Jun 10, 2014 -> 07:15 AM) If we do not trade Rios, we likely do not have the money to sign Abreu. Also, if we do not trade Rios he may have resulted in an extra win or two the last couple months which would have put us picking behind the Cubs in the draft and we would not have Rodon. Great move by Rick Hahn to shed that salary. Great call.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 09:33 PM) Kings are gonna sweep the Rangers. Sigh... what could have been.. I said it during the last round... The Stanley Cup was decided in the last series.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 09:08 PM) You act like they'll actually bring him up. Wouldn't want to excite their fan base or anything. Where would Olt play??? The Cubs would be stupid to bring him up anytime before next June. Absolutely no reason to start someone's clock until they get some pitching.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 10:19 PM) From what I've seen this year, Leury Garcia is better on defense than Sierra and ADA That isn't saying much.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 10:18 PM) Bella has nothing. Get him out of there. [watchingongamecast]

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 10:23 PM) Game of inches, as that Avila fly ball was extremely close to leaving the park. Even closer to being caught.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 07:54 PM) Just saw Trevor Cahill was designated for assignment. Decent numbers as a reliever this year. Worth a flyer? If he he is DFA, you'd have to trade for him.

Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 1m #WhiteSox are really excited about 10th rounder Jake Jarvis, who confirmed via @jarvis_jake he's headed to Arizona. Sounds like he signed.

QUOTE (Tmar @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 07:12 PM) No he just needs to sit for a day and get his head straight because he is completely lost up there right now and can't adjust either. Or maybe the flight back to Chicago fixed him, who knows. And don't get me wrong, he's the best hitter on the team They just did that in Anaheim.

Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 3m Hahn 'thrilled" with draft. Rodon "a high ceiling, close-to-the-majors, potential front-end piece to fit in with this rebuilding plan.'' Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 3m With Rodon 'we intend to be aggressive, be fair and make an offer that, hopefully, convinces him it’s time to begin his professional career' “Not fair to expect [Rodon] to follow same path as Sale but given talent & our experience with it, not unreasonable to at least consider it"

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 05:14 PM) I'm swapping Noah for Dieng, there's a drop off there but it isn't huge. Dunleavy for Melo, I don't even remember if Dunleavy was any good defensively. Love for Boozer is probably a push if not a slight advantage to Love. Taj for Payne, I've read mixed reviews on Paynes D. We've seen guys like Nate Robinson and Kyle Korver come in here and play capable D. I think they'd be fine. Wait, what?

Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 6m Nate Jones played catch on field, at about 60 feet.

Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 3m Matt Lindstrom's cast came off today, stitches out. He's here w/ team. Happy to rejoin them. Said team target is 9/1, his a little faster.

Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 2m Hahn confident Rodon can be signed. Sox history with Boras overstated, he said. Every pick made w intention of signing player.

Creg Stephenson ‏@CregStephenson 24m Mason Robbins says he leaves Tuesday for Arizona, where he will sign his contract with White Sox. Will begin pro career in Great Falls, MT.

Doug Padilla ‏@ESPNChiSox 1m Miguel Cabrera, who came out of Sunday's game, will play tonite vs White Sox and bat third.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 02:14 PM) FWIW: http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/John-Jaecke...esler/128/60487 I get the feeling that both Toews and Kane have no interest in signing cap busting deals. They seem to be more interested in winning, then an extra couple of million a year.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 03:01 PM) Yes, there needs to be a little time to get pitching again. It's been a few weeks since he's pitched in a game. I don't see a problem with offering him a chance at the Chris Sale/Jack McDowell path for this year. Let him relieve and fly through the system as long as he is getting guys out. Then be ready to start him at B'ham next year if all goes well.

If it is me, I put two offers on the table. $5 million and a chance to move up to Chicago if everything goes well this fall, or $6 million and the full tour of the minors, starting in High A ball this year.

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 47m Heard from two sources that Wieters' throwing program with #Orioles not going well and that surgery looks increasingly likely. However...

Brannon Easterling ‏@BrannonE49 Jun 7 Thanks for all the congrats and support this year. Blessed to be able to extend my career with the white sox #APsmokesquad #blessed

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 02:14 PM) Same question I asked in the draft thread: if the White Sox were genuinely confident of getting him signed, why not take him in the 11th round instead of the 14th? Seems to me it's more of a "well we'll take him here in the unlikely event we have enough to turn his head", rather than a genuine plan with a good chance of success. I am guessing that means they had guys on the board they wanted to make sure that they got into the fold before they went to their lottery tickets.

Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 11m Sounds as if #WhiteSox doing fairly well w/ lot of top picks. Perhaps more next few days. Nothing on Rodon yet but team is confident.
