Blah!

Why NO ABREU???

Ouch! Anybody else worried? And we get more suck with Heath

See DeAza and Lexi are in mid season form leaving 11 on base...

This thread is cool, good job, i don't consider myself forein, but good reading about others

It's so fest but the guys on the radio have talked more about the cubs.....

Sale, Tanaka, and Quintana make a nice 1-3. Ranks slides to 4 and let rienzo/Johnson/paulino battle for 5

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jan 21, 2014 -> 06:31 PM) If the Sox get him, then MLB Network might actually have to show a Sox game or two. They're getting as bad as Baseball Tonight, which is sad

Mlb network rooting for yankees to get him big time

MLB network saying Jon heyman reporting both Chicago teams are front runners for tanaka. Just said on MLB network

Like that they are all there

QUOTE (Paulstar @ Jan 12, 2014 -> 04:40 PM) If he was signed by the Yankees or Red Sox people would be predicting him being ROY, greatest cuban player ever, blah blah blah. If he's a 140+ K guy with no plate discipline, I sincerely doubt Hahn and the White Sox would have given him the contract they did. High K rates and no plate discipline is exactly the opposite of what Hahn has shown as GM thus far. I'm guessing the White Sox view him to turn into more of a Konerko during his prime type than a Mark Reynolds type. Awesome post, was thinking the same thing. That's why I pay no attentiin to the so called experts. Let it play out

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Dec 18, 2013 -> 11:05 AM) Isn't Sebastian Valle code for Tyler Flowers? No it's spanish. :-)

Foulke was decent a few seasons, but then he had a season were he couldn't hold a lead. Especially against the twins

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 17, 2013 -> 09:48 AM) More than they do already? Jones being promoted has literally no effect on this. Yeah, averages 97+ with the fastball with a hard breaking slider, yeah, no intimidation at all. Who the hell cares? He doesn't need to brush back his own kid at a father-son game, he just needs to get guys out. With his stuff, there's plenty of intimidation. You can throw 100 all you want, it seems to me hitters look a lot more comfortable against jones than any other hard thrower, for example a guy like grant Balfour. Look all I'm saying is jones has a lot of ability and talent, he needs to use these things to his advantage. I think a lot of that is that he tends to nibble, he should look to get ahead with fastball put away with the nasty slider. Seems to me he kinda goes backward a bit. I mean I think if any of us had a 100 mph fastball and that nasty slider, our mentality and "edge" would be I'm gonna get you, here it is if you don't duck I'm gonna run you over. And I'm not talking hitting anybody. Check the hard throwing closers of the past, gossage, Nen, Benitez, even Jenks his first year, you could see hitters were not to comfortable in that box, they used that to their advantage, Just saying Jones can do this, he needs that edge to him. That's all

QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 16, 2013 -> 05:46 PM) I cannot stand Jones's delivery. There is absolutely no deception. If he goes through a dead arm period and loses a couple ticks on his FB I think he'd get hammered. That delivery with a 94-95 MPH FB is a lot more of an issue than when he's hitting 97-100 MPH. He doesn't have that edge, that intimidation factor either.

I was going to ask about him, he was always good with the a's and killed us

QUOTE (hi8is @ Dec 12, 2013 -> 04:19 AM) The Mariners are letting teams know that Jesus Montero and Justin Smoak are available in trade talks, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today (via Twitter). The report comes on the heels of the Mariners striking deals to add Corey Hart and Logan Morrison to their lineup. Pass! He stinks

Why do we even read Keith law? Guy is a joke, none of his B.S makes sense and he does is try to glorify himself. Let it play out, like others said Avi has been fine, the only thing that can hurt Avi is Avi himself. And is for the trade I'm glad Hahn philosophy is getting guys who make contact, put the ball in play, not always swinging for the fences. He ain't done either, if not now by next trade deadline hardly any of the crap we had play out this past season will be here. I wouldn't doubt Viciedo's name being talked about..

Finally a "natural" centerfielder?

Bye De aza, take your dymb baserunning skills elsewhere.

If there is a thread please merge.. Discuss

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 3, 2013 -> 11:51 AM) I hate a guy like De Aza way more than I do Axe. Ding ding ding ding.....

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Dec 3, 2013 -> 03:06 PM) http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2013/12/rays...an-hanigan.html 2:01pm: Jose Lobaton could be going to the White Sox in the deal, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times (via Twitter) hears. Who?
