QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 20, 2017 -> 09:01 PM) just need to ditch todd then you can find 20 odd PA a week for Sanchez at 2B/3B, Sally is the odd man out in the IF at the moment. Who would have thought Davidson and even Leury Garcia would pass him?

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 20, 2017 -> 08:59 PM) I still say CF He supposedly likes 2b and was never comfortable at third. He has to prove he can't handle the position before they consider moving him.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 20, 2017 -> 08:57 PM) The fact Avi nodded to the poster on here last night makes him one of my faves. Avi Garcia deserves credit no matter what happens the rest of the season. He's already had seven good weeks. People should be on the Avi bandwagon. If one of our young prospects was doing this, people would be having fits of joy. Avi baby! He's one of our best players so do you trade him? We traded Sale. We're gonna trade Q. He is our every day player version of those guys. You can't even think about it unless he does this for two more months and someone offers a Top 25 MLB prospect or a struggling stud like Rougned Odor with longer team control. Also depends on how the White Sox feel about competing in 2019, and if they want to move him to 1b/DH and give him a contract extension.

991 ops for Avi Garcia now.

http://www.espn.com/mlb/stats/team/_/stat/...nded/order/true Blown saves by team. Lots of trade candidates for Robertson, Jones, Swarzak. All Steverson had to do is tell them to hit line drives in BP according to DJ, lol. Why didn't he come up with this about three years ago?

QUOTE (flavum @ May 20, 2017 -> 08:42 PM) Mets are trying not to blow a big 9th inning lead. Reed just walked in a run. Trout gonna Trout? Sac fly, 7-5. Still two more chances. Mets, Nats, Cardinals...who else needs bullpen help?

Don't forget Stickfigure, lol.

Almora has too high a risk that he simply turns into a really excellent fourth outfielder....he can't be the second piece.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 20, 2017 -> 08:28 PM) Boston keeps scouting him it seems like They need Q just as much....Sale and baling wire/duct tape are holding that rotation together. Rodriguez has gone from a big ? To their #2. They can't make the postseason without Price.

Garcia's ops back up to 965. 18th in MLB. Career ops 718. Yeah, should be two years. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2017/03/make...ail-garcia.html

Will just start thinking of Davidson as Adam Dunn minus the huge salary...

.238 MLB average on groundballs .205 fly balls .600+ line drives, especially up the middle. Interesting stat. At least Frazier increased his batting average there. Steverson Extension.

Viva Zapata!!! White Sox have the most Hispanic talent in MLB...all of a sudden. Poor Q. Run support never comes his way.

QUOTE (hi8is @ May 20, 2017 -> 02:37 PM) Today, May 20th... shall forever be known moving forward as, Luis Robert day. That sounds almost like Bastille Day if you go with the French pronunciation of Louis Robert Moiran.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ May 20, 2017 -> 06:05 PM) Caulfield. In my eyes you have become THE play by play man for White Sox ML baseball. You're cracking me up tonight, man. Good stuff. It has been 8 years since the Sox minor leagues were a fun follow...and then the 1998-2001 cycle before that. Fun time to be a Sox fan, especially with Cleveland not looking as dominant as imagined and KC falling apart. Detroit is done. Minnesota and Indians will be the long and short term competition. Indians will run out of money to hold the payroll together eventually.

Cardinals fans are the ones who are really shook the most for now. I think we have to realize that elite talent doesn't want to play in St Louis. Let's be honest St Louis kinda sucks. It's possible the manager and front office are not liked either. Then you factor in the potential for endorsements. St Louis will never compete with that potential to NY, Chicago, LA, and Boston. I'll reserve judgement til I find out how much more St Louis offered, so I hope it's just the money. Maybe the Cardinals ought to ask the city to be a bit less filthy and run-down, that might be the thing that spurs development in the north of the city. Obviously nothing the Cards can really do about the City and its rep so it has to work on the perception of the organization. Or the reality of the organization. It's not unreasonable to think that someone alien to this country might for a few dollars (relatively) less would choose to play somewhere more comfortable with a stronger Latin presence- albeit not particularly Cuban. From gatewayredbirds.com http://gatewayredbirds.com/forum/viewtopic...20&start=90 Almost feel sorry for them. Almost. But nah.

Trey has to hit one next, or Hawkins. All the demotees/demotions!!!

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 20, 2017 -> 05:53 PM) f*** schwarber that is guy is their avi, maybe he figures it out, maybe he never does. But he once had a home run ball enclosed (maybe encased is the better word) in glass on the top of the scoreboard...maybe they should put it back.

Schwarber OR Happ, Jimenez and Clifton for Q, then Cubs' fan will really be shook. And no, we're not going to settle for Almora. Guess he's temporarily bored with IT out of playoffs and the Cubs mired in mediocrity pitching-wise.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 20, 2017 -> 05:39 PM) I wish MILB.TV had a native app I could use with the ol' Roku streaming stick. Although, to be completely honest, it's not the same without Yoan in the lineup, and its not a Kopech Day. Collins and Basabe are the top guys going today. Adolfo!!!

http://www.milb.com/player/index.jsp?sid=m...tching/2016/ALL The White Sox are going to use Blake Hickman as a catcher full-time when he returns from rehab or just an innocent mistake?

https://www.milb.com/gameday/mudcats-vs-das...ab=,game=506809 Collins with another walk, Barnum homered...Basabe sinking. http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?s...mp;ymd=20170520 Jordan Guerrero for the Barons, irrelevant Volstad start for Knights. That means following Booker (Iowa grad, along with Hickman), Fisher, Zavala and Adolfo becomes somewhat interesting compared to the rest of the action.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 20, 2017 -> 05:32 PM) You wanna protect the latter 3 from jinxes yet put our 2 most promising prospects and our second best hitter after Avi in the full jinx mode? Okay, Avi, Davidson, Yolmer, Leury, Kahnle. Who can we not jinx? Kevan Smith and Minaya? Swarzak won't be around long enough.
