Come on guys. You all know we should trade Rodon, Saladino, and Garcia for Rich Hill.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jul 20, 2016 -> 06:44 PM) I don't remember if it's 2018 or 2019, but one of those years supposedly has a stacked free agent class. In an ideal world, I'd like the Sox to trade everyone off now, and sign a superstar in 2-3 years when all the guys they'll acquire from these trades now and/or the draft are ready to make an impact at the big league level. If Hahn plays his cards right, this team could be very good in 2 or 3 years. It's 2018. Going into this season before I drank the cool-aid, my stance had been that 2016 and likely 2017 were wash years for the Sox... That their real next shot for contending was 2018.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 20, 2016 -> 06:43 PM) That's too much for Sale. I think you may get to pick one of Seager, Urias and Pederson. That's too little for Q. I try to move him to Boston for Moncada. I will never agree with the thought that Sale doesn't return at least a clubs too 4 young guys... As a starting point. You little need to be raping a team in order for them to get Sale. I agree that Boston is the place to go with Q.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jul 20, 2016 -> 06:39 PM) Too much for Sale, too little for Q IMO. A Sale trade would HAVE to be too much and have to be unprecedented.

QUOTE (harkness @ Jul 20, 2016 -> 06:39 PM) Gallo... uh no Look up his minor league stats... not very impressive. I said I do t like his high K rate. ~250k per 162 games - don't even have to look that up. He's also averaging about 50 HR in i that same span but I'm done with the boom or bust player.

Sale to LAD for: Urias, De Leon, Seager, Holmes, Bellinger, and Pederson. Q to TEX for: Profar, Brinson, and Tate That's what I'm asking for if I'm in Hahn's seat.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 20, 2016 -> 06:26 PM) Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN 1m1 minute ago Rival evaluators trying to ascertain exactly how much the Rangers value Joey Gallo. Some sense a smokescreen, and think they'd move him. Q or Abreu for Gallo+ I would pass on both, personally. Don't like Gallo's high K rate.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 20, 2016 -> 06:18 PM) I think they deal Sale this offseason unless they're blown away before the deadline. I can see Frazier, Melky, Q, Robertson at least. Regarding 2018 / 2019... If they sell Q - they sell Sale as well... Be it this offseason like you mention or not. If you keep Sale - keep Q as well. Keeping one or the other would be more of this half assed rebuilding/retooling s***. Pick a direction and go that way.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 20, 2016 -> 06:12 PM) whitesoxdave ‏@barstoolWSD 31m31 minutes ago Chicago, IL I am getting indications that the #WhiteSox may be re-considering their stance of being "non-sellers" in the coming weeks whitesoxdave ‏@barstoolWSD 29m29 minutes ago Chicago, IL I won't name teams/players yet but have gotten semi-specific details That asshat.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 20, 2016 -> 06:09 PM) I would do Q for Seager straight up. However I would imagine something like Joc, Bellinger and Holmes Get all 4 plus Urias and DeLeon for Sale.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 20, 2016 -> 05:25 PM) I will blame Jerry to the extent he employs Hahn and Williams. As Blacksox pointed out, Vogelbach is someone you could call-up this year, and for sure at least in September. He's not some prospect 3 years away. He fits with the Win-now mode. But Williams/hahn are just wed to their "proven veteran"theory, no matter how many of the veterans under-perform once they get here (and a lot of that is because they were already in decline). Re: Vogelbach.... He just went to Seattle. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/07/cubs...p;post-id=67367

QUOTE (Policiious @ Jul 20, 2016 -> 02:59 PM) 1) Saladino will not be a starter for this team and I get it that you need quality backups but Hill is a pitcher that could be signed for a 2 year deal at a reasonable price. He's 36 and having a heck of a year (9-3 2.25 era) 2nd lowest ERA in the AL for a starter with 14 or more starts. a 9-3 record on a team that is 10 games or more below .500 is a heck of an accomplishment. Rodon does not seem to be ML material to me, just an opinion. If they could get Hill for Garcia and Saladino, what would your thoughts be? I want to add an arm to the rotation before trading Quintana. The team does not score enough and the only way they are going to get decent position players with quality bats is by parting with a top line starter (Quintana). I believe Hill can be persuaded to sign a 2 year deal at this age and at a reasonable $12-$15M salary. Remember the Sox are cutting off alot of payroll after this year with Latos, danks, rolllins, possibly Morneau and of course no more buyout for the ex starting SS of $1M and the ex DH who retired at the start of this season who could not hit, another $13M savings. That's a total of $35M in total lost payroll, which leaves them with alot of $ to sign talent if there is a fit. Yep Braun is on the wrong side of 30 but still a heck of a player, add LuCroy, him and Hill and IMO the lineup is much better, they are better defensively and the rotation is still solid 1.) you have a lot to learn 2.) bye bye

"Just shut the f*** up and someone call the national suicide prevention hotline... Quick." Slowly walks into office and shuts door.

Wow

If only our whole team was slumping just as hard offensively:D

20 cents to make 5,000? Uh... No.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jul 20, 2016 -> 01:58 PM) He's slumping hard right now. The eye test has said so but... .304 / .360 / .435 in last 7 games .304 / .344 / .411 in last 15 .287 / .344 / .452 in last 30

Official naked people ( or person ) on the field delay.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 20, 2016 -> 10:54 AM) Total of 8 once again. I don't see us scoring many against Felix. 2 dimes again on the under to make an easy 5k off the series. Wish the books gave us more gifts like this.....I'd quit my day job. Inform my ignorance please... What does "2 dimes" equate to in non-badass-slang-lingo?

Hernandez has to be royally pissed - as well as all Seattle fans.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jul 20, 2016 -> 12:43 PM) I said the exact thing earlier. They can't say they're still competing this season and throw Turner out there to be devoured by a divisional foe. Basically conceding the game. For the second time in a week??? Ok, f*** it - I'm on board. Fire Hanh, fire KW, fire Robin, and fire Steverson.

QUOTE (Policiious @ Jul 20, 2016 -> 11:50 AM) Thoughts? 1.) Welcome aboard!!! 2.) Your ideas are about the worst proposals I've ever seen since posting here in 2003. Rodon, Saladino, and Garcia... For a rental of Rich Hill?? What??????? The number three draft pick in the country two years ago, a positive WAR utility player, and a league average young guy with potential unrealized talent... For two months of a reinvented pitcher coming off an injury? Dude. 3.) Please stay and keep posting.

Wow - early odd start for a west coast game... Even a Wednesday. Was t aware, thanks to you TheTruth05 and you as well SoxTalk. Go SOX!!

Oh joy. We're back to .500.
