QUOTE (Tony @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 05:42 PM) The idea behind that signing was great. Too bad 70% of this roster blows. And too bad he couldn't have been healthy since May 8th

Just heard the Washington Nationals announcer say that the White Sox have the most blown saves in all of baseball.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 03:14 PM) Christian Vazquez is an unbelievable pitch framer. I'm sure the data agrees, because I just marvel at how quickly and smoothly he snaps every pitch in to the zone. Wow

QUOTE (Soxnfins @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 03:34 PM) Robertson maybe? I'd do a happy dance if we got those two for Robertson

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 01:28 PM) @Ken_Rosenthal Sources: #WhiteSox scouted #RedSox’s AAA, AA and High A affiliates last night. Sox “highly doubt” deal will occur due to asking price. Blanketing of #RedSox’s system by #WhiteSox was first mentioned by @pgammo. Some believe CWS simply laying groundwork for off-season trade. More leverage for trade talks with other teams... "We can just trade with Boston this offseason. We're already getting prepared for it." Use Rangers against Boston, "Look, the Rangers are being very aggressive. Unless we get something done before Monday - we might not have the assets you want around still this offseason."

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 06:27 PM) That would certainly get the Yankees in the conversation for Sale. Giolito, Torres, Sanchez, Andujar, and Acevedo is on par with a lot of the other prospect packages that have been bandied about. If the Yankees had Giolitto - I would absolutely want a package from them

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 07:09 PM) Sox are the cure for insomnia. Partially inducing it lately for me

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 07:01 PM) You don't find 2 rankings done in the past couple weeks more accurate than a ranking done 5 months ago? Even in Law's midseason update, he re-ranks Moncada above Devers, although very close and still WAYY higher on Devers than anyone else (He actually ranks Benintendi their #1, then Moncada, then Devers) 1.) I don't have insider access 2.) all I said was that their not universally accepted in order and are somewhat interchangeable 3.) your update regarding Beni ranking number 1 acctually supports what I attempted to articulate. Thanks for the update, I was curious as to his most recent rankings.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 06:13 PM) They might...I hope it's a big all in. It would have to be something stupid for me. Odor, Mazara, Tate, Ortiz, Mendez Edit: there - now it's stupid

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 05:59 PM) Eh....I highly doubt that. MLB.com has Moncada as #2, Devers as #25 in their midseason update. (Benintendi is #7) BA has Moncada as #1, Devers as #41 in their midseason update. (Benintendi is #9) Doubt be gone. http://www.overthemonster.com/2016/2/11/10...ankings-red-sox

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 04:59 PM) I'm just trying to think if the White Sox were asking Moncada + Benintendi on Quintana, the Red Sox would probably say they would only give that up for Sale. So Devers might be an easier sell. All three are pretty interchangeable from what I recall. Some rate Devers higher than Moncada - for example.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 03:25 PM) Just a small note but Profar is playing in the OF today Excuse my ignorance but what is the significance of this?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 07:36 AM) On the radio yesterday, Barry Rosner said the Rangers and Dodgers are the two teams really going after Sale. Doesn't seem like Boston is involved Translation: Boston is really the most aggressive in talks.

QUOTE (bighurt574 @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 04:26 AM) No chance. Betts for Sale would be a wash, give or take. They're not giving away the farm for Melky and Robertson. Exactly ( reference the part about sanity ).

QUOTE (sammy esposito @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 12:10 AM) I hate to disillusion anyone but we imagine all perfect deals while history says we settle for an aged superstar. You can't disillusion an insane person. Edit: Welcome to Philosophy Hour with hi8is - come one in.

QUOTE (kwill @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 12:04 AM) I saw this idea floated out there a few times today. I can see the reasoning behind it. What do you guys think of Sale for McCutchen and Glasnow or Tallion? Pirates have Meadows waiting. We still get a young pitching prospect and a legit star. Only problem is McCutchen is controlled only though 2018. Cutch only has one more year of control - this, Meadows is the ask in his place.

Here's a crazy a f*** idea: Boston gets Sale, Melky, and Robertson White Sox get Betts, Moncada, Benintendi, Rodriguez, Devers, Kopech, Travis, and Owens As you can see... Monday needs to get here so my sanity can return.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 08:38 PM) Sox have played 102 games this year. Have scored three runs or less in 49 of them. (48%). Sox have now lost 13 games where they allowed an opponent three runs or less. Mark That's multiples of retardation - nice stats Lip.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 09:32 PM) Scott MerkinVerified account ‏@scottmerkin Sale, who has all the jerseys he discarded Saturday, is hoping to do something charitable with the situation. Well hell, at least that's cool. #jerseygate

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 08:26 PM) If Kenny still doesn't know if the club will be buyers or sellers this weekend he obviously wasn't watching this game. Burn

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 08:17 PM) Media really giving the Robin/front office questions to Sale. Can you summarize for us out of towners who can't watch the post game interviews, please?

BUT WE WON THE CUP!!!!!!

Can it be Monday yet, please?
