QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 27, 2013 -> 10:00 PM) I completely disagree here. Dunn has a .194 AVG & a .303 OBP. His value right now is nearly 100% tied to his 20 HRs. Perhaps some team desperate for a left-handed bat may take a chance on him, but I seriously doubt any team would "love" to add a streaky, all or nothing hitter to their lineup in the middle of the stretch run let alone mutliple teams. If you can save $6 to $8 million on the remaining life of his contract I say you dump him without hesitation. I don't even care what you get back, because sooner or later bad Dunn will come back and we'll be stuck with him batting cleanup for another year. Take advantage of the hot steak he's on and move him while you still can. We're talking about a guy who will not be back in 2015 under any circumstance, so the downside of trading him is minimal. I view this situation in the light that Dunn is a 6 or 7 hitter for a contending team. There's no way he's going to take up meaningful ABs. Beyond that, I think Dunn is closer to the .200/.330/.470 hitter we saw last year, regardless of his OBP now, and I don't think .220/.340/.490 is out of the realm of possibility. If the Sox are going to completely blow this team apart, there's no need to save money because they won't spend a lot next season. If they keep some of it and try and retool or whatever, he's not a bad bat to have in this division. He's already a sunk cost, so if you can save MOST money, I'm OK with it, I guess. I'd just rather not eat most of the $22+ mill he's still owed, you know?

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Jun 27, 2013 -> 09:53 PM) I enjoyed this. Fun fact: When it comes to former White Sox catchers since 2005, only Pierzynski, Stewart, and Corky Miller are on an MLB roster. How in the f*** is Corky Miller on a roster?

QUOTE (TRU @ Jun 27, 2013 -> 08:20 PM) I think Dunn has sneaky value to a good team that needs a power bat.. Hes still on pace for 40+ HRs and 100+ RBIs on this terrible team.. what could he do with people on base and actual good hitters around him? I think we would almost certainly have to eat a lot of salary, but I think that there could be interest in him.. Teams would love to add Dunn if the Sox ate a s***load of salary, don't let Sox fans fool you. In my mind, there's no real reason to do so because you won't get a real good prospect for a guy who is a DH who can play a bit of 1B. If you eat salary, you need to make sure you get a prospect with legitimate upside.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 27, 2013 -> 06:46 PM) When will we get a hitter that we don't have to wait 4+ years to hopefully develop I'd take the 4+ out of that. Beckham is the best hitter the Sox have "developed" in a while.

Why would you hit a guy with a .330 OBP leadoff anyways? He's a 2, 3, or 5 hitter, and a damn good one at that.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 27, 2013 -> 03:30 PM) Since October 3, Dan Johnson leads the majors in OPS with a staggering 3.000 These are the kinds of numbers that just boggle your mind. Sit the f*** down Chris Davis.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Jun 27, 2013 -> 01:18 PM) I read in a fangraphs(I believe) article about Micah Johnson that the infield in Kanny is one of the worst at any level. Can anyone else touch on this? Has there been a middle infielder that has seemingly sucked in Kanny that has seemingly gotten better at the next level? Players get better when they go from A- to A+ all the time, regardless of the field, because they get better.

Shaw's face is funked up right now

You know, as much as I like Puig and how well he can cover the field, I have no problem taking the field on that one.

Dan Johnson is the best hitter in the major leagues based on my opinion of him in game 162 from last year

Lost to the Bulls in the first round of the playoffs. Solution? ADD PIERCE AND GARNETT! That team is going to be mid 2000s Knicks bad in a few years

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 27, 2013 -> 11:23 AM) What do you mean defend them? They've been to three straight finals and are back-2-back champs. I don't have to defend them. But waiting for them to get worse instead of getting better yourself is the strategy of a second-rate franchise. They are literally an incredibly fortunate (I don't say lucky, but it was a fortunate bounce) 3 point shot by Ray Allen away from losing that series.

What's really awesome about this thread right now is that we can talk all kinds of trash about the "regular posters" and they can't say anything back. And then when they try and call us on it in a different thread, we can be all "quit calling people out from other threads or we'll banstick your booty." With that said, Steve has garlic cheese bread breath

Would you guys quit it

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 27, 2013 -> 11:07 AM) Too lazy to look it up but how did Morel do last night? 4-4, 4 bombs

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 27, 2013 -> 11:06 AM) Ok he might be a good pitcher but if he's 0-9 he's obviously been down his luck. He must have had a lot of similar outings to the one John Danks had last night to amass that record. (Unearned runs) Bad luck, but you get a high ERA because of earned runs. Really, he's bound to pitch better at some point, and so it makes sense that he'd shut down a weak offensive team in the White Sox.

Dylan Bundy needs Tommy John. As a baseball fan, that f***ing sucks.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 27, 2013 -> 10:13 AM) Lo and behold the SOX do it again... make a crappy pitcher look elite. I'm ready for some Football! Yes, same crappy pitcher with a 3.85 career ERA in 984 innings. Marcum is a good pitcher. I wanted the Sox to acquire him last year and I wanted them to sign him in the offseason. If the Mets let him go, I'd advocate signing him again this offseason.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 27, 2013 -> 09:15 AM) LOL at Donovan McNabb: https://twitter.com/donovanjmcnabb/status/349996538770108416 If nothing else, that particular prison is going to have a hell of a good football team next year. EDIT: Oh, look at me going again, presuming guilt. Innocent until proven guilty! (which he f***ing will be)

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jun 26, 2013 -> 07:49 PM) Au contraire. We did miss a beat in the SP Dept. Hudson went on an immediate hot streak, Jackson did the opposite. And we threw in Holmgren for good measure. I also feel we should no longer lament the trade, but not because of what you said. the f***? Edwin Jackson's ERA with the White Sox was 3.66 over 30 starts. Hudson was great down the stretch for Arizona, but let's not act like Jackson s*** the bed.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 26, 2013 -> 03:20 PM) This is just a weird and clearly inaccurate post. Mr. Cherry Pickerty, I also said they were not able to finish doing so. How I should have worded it was said "They showed you how you CAN." Both teams were literally miracle last second shots away from winning their series. The Heat got incredibly lucky to win it this year. They earned it and played great in those last two game 7's, but they easily could have lost both series too.

Why do you list players by average in your signature? Adam Dunn was never going to hit for average. Why don't you list them in descending order with most homers on top? s***, if you listed it by OPS, Dunn would be 2nd. Dunn has actually been a valuable hitter this year. Keppinger's .513 OPS has been, how do you say, uhhh "dee-suh-point-ing"

Well, then #1 and #1 moves can be tied and are directly related, because the White Sox not resigning Jim Thome, when they KNEW he was going to sign with the Twins otherwise, when he came back to them because the White Sox had Mark Kotsay was the ultimate move in irresponsibility. The White Sox win the division with Jim Thome back that year. Instead, f***ing bulls*** Twins won GOD I HATED THAT TWINS TEAM
