QUOTE (raBBit @ May 14, 2014 -> 04:25 PM) Jaso pulls a De Aza. Picked off? Caught Stealing? Doubled off? Dropped a ball in the OF? Overthrew a cut off man? So hard to tell what that means.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 14, 2014 -> 03:34 PM) are you asking because you are familiar with this sort of response if there is anything Wite knows it is drunk with donkey.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 14, 2014 -> 03:26 PM) Not nearly enough. I'd place a decent wager he will do a 15 day stint this season. I really wish they would work in a little more rest for him, even without the ankle thing. They only play a 90 game schedule in Cuba. I'd hate to see him die off in August because he isn't in shape for the US 162 game season.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 14, 2014 -> 03:28 PM) are you drunk Duh.

Simpsons/Family Guy crossover is going to happen. http://www.nbcchicago.com/entertainment/en...lFlowFB_CHBrand

QUOTE (Boogua @ May 14, 2014 -> 02:53 PM) It took them an extra year because Lebron cowered in the corner against the Mavs, not because of Spo either IMO. The Heat are absolutely loaded, but people forget that now because Wade and Bosh are role players with Lebron. Sounds like something a little coaching might help.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 14, 2014 -> 02:34 PM) One good thing Rahm has done is put bike lanes on a lot of streets. Even then, it seems people driving cars get more than a little frustrated when a bike is making better time than them and try to do something about it. I don't know how many times cars have weaved into the bike lanes right in front of me. I swear they all can't be unintentional. One of these days I will get you.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 14, 2014 -> 02:24 PM) Do you really believe Erik Spoelstra is one of the best coaches in the NBA, or do you think that perhaps because he has the greatest player of the generation, plus a plethora of other talented players, that he's maybe just a guy in the right place at the right time? No joke. A trained monkey could win titles with that team. Since one wasn't available, they had to make do with Spo, and it took them an extra year.

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA 6m Utah Jazz have been granted permission to interview Chicago Bulls assistant Adrian Griffin for head coaching job, league sources tell Yahoo.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ May 14, 2014 -> 01:05 PM) CBS announced that the next season of Two and a Half Men will be it's last. And no how I met your Father from the sounds of it.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 14, 2014 -> 12:34 PM) Not necessarily. It's possible Hahn has tried to trade him and sees no possibility so they may have put him on release waivers today, but technically DFA gets them off the roster and buys a team time (10 days) to do something with him, like a trade. [buzz] Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 1h #WhiteSox have 10 days to work out a trade for Jeff Keppinger or put him on waivers. He is out of minor league options.

Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 14m Adam Eaton feels good as heads on rehab. Flying from Oak to Durham for 2 games. Bus to Norfolk for 4 inn, rejoins Sox in Houston on Sun.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ May 14, 2014 -> 12:23 PM) Could this be a precursor to a big trade? Is there any advantage to DFAing a s***ty player like this, letting him get claimed, and THEN completing a discussed trade with the claim team, instead of just straight up trading with said team? Like somebody mentioned, no team is gonna claim this guy in the real world. But in conniving Front Office world, is there any reason to plan a DFA-claim-trade instead of throwing him in like Teahen. Just seems like the risk of the trade team backing out would be too great to approach it this way. no.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 14, 2014 -> 12:13 PM) Interesting. How often do the players get drug tested? Do they know ahead of time? When I was in school, I definitely knew of some of the athletes that liked to smoke, but maybe it wasn't during the season. Well we can say for sure it wasn't during the NCAA tourney...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 14, 2014 -> 12:14 PM) Welcome to rebuilding! With a side of injuries.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ May 14, 2014 -> 12:09 PM) Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 17m Hahn on Keppinger decision: "We are focusing on the future as opposed to trying to justify a decision from the past." Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 17m Per Rick Hahn, Jeff Keppinger is healthy. Shoulder has responded well. Move was made to give more PT to Gillaspie, Semien, Beckham. Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 16m Hahn on the signing: "It didn’t work. That’s on me." Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 16m Hahn had a brief conversation with Keppinger this morning. He understood CWS rationale for move and they wished each other well Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 7m Hahn said a position change for someone in the plethora of Minor League infield talent is "conceivable" down the line. But .... Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 7m The goal is development with these players. So they are not throwing something new at them as they are getting comfortable. Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 1m Rick Hahn also thanked chairman Jerry Reinsdorf for flexibility to DFA Jeff Keppinger, which could cost Sox whats left on $8.5 mill deal. Very well handled by all parties. It allows Kepp to catch on somewhere else, and the White Sox to move on.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 14, 2014 -> 11:52 AM) https://twitter.com/JKeppinger/status/466620010157596672 That is a very classy thing to do.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 14, 2014 -> 11:31 AM) lol.. You might lose one, MAYBE two of those guys to DFA this year. De Aza being on that list is just silly.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ May 14, 2014 -> 11:30 AM) Other candidates to be DFA'd by the end of the season Scott Carroll Frank Fransisco Alejandro De Aza (I think this will spook him) Moises Sierra Felipe Paulino Jordan Danks Nester Molina Jared Mitchell Eric Surkamp lol..

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 14, 2014 -> 11:28 AM) If he goes unclaimed and then signs afterwards, the other team just pays the minimum, and we pick up the rest, correct? Yes. We will owe everything but about $875k over the next two years.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 14, 2014 -> 10:45 AM) I kind of feel like this, if losing Thibs is inevitable, then I'd rather we trade him and get something. I have no doubt if someone offers a big return for Thibs he is gone. They won't let him leave for nothing, nor should that. As bizarre at it seems, he is their biggest trade asset right now.

Doing the math, if they can't deal Kepp, or he isn't claimed, the Sox on the hook for about $7.5 million here.

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 14, 2014 -> 11:14 AM) Ditto. Not any bit upset though. I am very happy honestly. There was literally no room for him.
