QUOTE (TitoMB @ May 21, 2014 -> 07:45 PM) I haven't been able to watch a single Sox game this year [major crys :'(], but how has Beckham been looking? I see his average up around .275, and that makes me happy, but does he LOOK like a .275 hitter? He looks like it is 2009.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 21, 2014 -> 07:14 PM) See how defensive you guys get? You guys know you're lame. Don't get mad at me. MVP chants for Joakim Noah and we had Michael. #WEdotRYhARDinTheCHI It is easy to not care when you just jump from team to team. Being a fan is a little bit different.

Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 1m Sounds like surgery upcoming for Matt Lindstrom. Robin Ventura isn't sure if its season-ending. More to come. #WhiteSox

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ May 21, 2014 -> 04:14 PM) Then make an intelligent argument about which ones are misapplied and why it's wrong. You can't do that if you don't take the time to understand what they are. Like, if WAR is messed up, why? How can you even think is IS or ISN'T messed up if you don't have at least a basic understanding of linear weights? If you hate the defensive metric component, what is it about the defensive metrics that you think are wrong? Too often people think advanced metrics are wrong simply because they don't always confirm that person's per-conceived notion. And, like I said, there's NOTHING wrong with not caring enough about them to learn about them. Really. It's just impossible to have an intelligent opinion on them if you don't know about them. Because he can't.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ May 21, 2014 -> 04:03 PM) I don't hate Sabremetrics. I have issues with how they are applied and the importance placed on bootleg stats. This post needs more TWTW.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 21, 2014 -> 02:59 PM) Ah, we're not going to have to worry about that. He can go sign with Minnesota or somebody for one year at a time. While I would bet my house that we aren't giving him a qualifying offer, it would not surprise me at all if we signed him to a greatly reduced one year deal. A good Adam Dunn still makes sense for the White Sox line up.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 21, 2014 -> 02:54 PM) Who was suppose to start tomorrow? Noesi? Yes.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 21, 2014 -> 02:43 PM) wait. so Sale is starting tomorrow? Yes. He is starting tomorrow vs the Yankees.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ May 21, 2014 -> 02:39 PM) Only 133 more days until Adam Dunn is no longer a member of the White Sox. Not that I'm counting. Wait until they resign him to a one year, seven million dollar deal.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 21, 2014 -> 02:13 PM) It means he's the best pitcher in baseball. The TWTW is strong in this one.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 21, 2014 -> 02:15 PM) and there it is. SS2K5, you owe me 5 dollars God I hate you.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ May 21, 2014 -> 02:00 PM) Take away their money and their PEDs. Yes, only Boston Red Sox used PEDs.

Jeff Passan ‏@JeffPassan 42m Quote of year. RT @TBrownYahoo: Boras: "Shooting, stabbing or cannibalizing a player is not a part of baseball or being a proper teammate."

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ May 21, 2014 -> 01:45 PM) I'll go on record as saying that the Yankees will be an excellent candidate for Alexei this offseason. They have to be #1 on the list.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 21, 2014 -> 01:34 PM) Release Francisco. I would be kind of surprised to see that honestly. Carroll has to be the #1 name to go right now.

This is Noesi's slot for starting, though Scott Merkin was clear to say that doesn't mean he is the one losing his spot in the starting rotation or on the MLB roster.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 21, 2014 -> 01:06 PM) @whitesox: BREAKING: Chris Sale is scheduled to start tomorrow's game vs. the #Yankees.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 21, 2014 -> 12:55 PM) I'd be happy to see Adam back. At this point I'm kind of done with the commodification of our players and just want to get back to enjoying them play. Such a great point. Thank you for saying it.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ May 21, 2014 -> 12:33 PM) Is there a way to just have a Caufield random thoughts thread? That way he doesn't have to interject them in threads that have little to do with his posts. Deep thoughts... with Caulfield
