QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 04:27 PM) At which point Bruce will devolve into the player we've seen the last 2-3 seasons in CINCY but the White Sox will be short Spencer Adams. But that's great because we have a stupid compensation pick instead of Desmond or Fowler. That's really helpful about right now, as we're going to have to give up more than the equivalent of that pick just to get rid of all those AB's for Garcia, Sands, Shuck and Rollins. I was one of the biggest advocates here for getting Fowler or Desmond in addition to Jackson when Cespedes fell through. I know you're pissed off right now but you really have no facts to back up your speculations. Bruce could mash his way to 45 HR here. That comp pick could turn out to be an all star in 2019. I'm not happy about the team right now too but I see no use in getting ruffled panties. On a good note, I did brush my teeth this morning. Yay, me.

Realisticlly - there's no way to like this trade for this year unless we also complete more trades. There is also little evidence to support the idea that we are not making more trades. By the end of July, or sooner - I fully expect this lineup or similar: Eaton Cabrera Abreu Frazier Bruce Lawrie Jackson Anderson Navarro / Avila

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 03:50 PM) assume that Shields will make his debut Tuesday against the Nat's? Sale today, Q Sunday, day off Monday and Shields on Tuesday makes sense. Si

I bet soon we see Anderson up, a trade for Bruce, and another bullpen arm come in.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 03:33 PM) And this is one of the two reasons I haven't been posting. Because if you're not a fan of this team, its now personal for too many people. I would just say, "poop"... But since a single post with that single word is banished forever... I've as such expounded with futile reason and as such, justify saying... Poop.

Bet your ass this is just the beginning. We're bringing in a lot more.

Why is this pinned?

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 12:20 PM) I kind of really hope Jay is in the deal, I think he would fit perfectly with this team Same. He adds a lot of flexibility and gives a hot contact bat from the left side.

If Jay is included I see him in left at times with Melky moving to DH

I'll say this - they sure as s*** better get a pen arm and a LH power bat if they're trading for this guy. Urg. I really don't like Shields.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 10:20 AM) I would be going for Rich Hill over Shields. Cheaper, wouldn't have to give up as much and better right now. Um. I think Hill is going to require way more than Shields.

Is it a bad thing that I can't remember the last time I brushed my teeth?

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 07:38 PM) Don't give up yet. Let's see where they are on June 20. Yep yep - clock is ticking.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 2, 2016 -> 09:49 PM) http://espn.go.com/mlb/features/cyyoung I'm not sure their methodology, but Sale is clearly 1st in AL and NL goes Arrieta, Strasburg, Cueto and Kershaw. That's nutty, I can see Arrieta, MAYBE...but Kershaw has 30 more K's than him. Of course, Jeff Samardzija is 6th. I believe Kershaw has more complete game shutouts this year than he does walks. I mean, come on.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 2, 2016 -> 05:11 PM) 7 for 3 trade with the Brewers, with Sox taking on all money. Who says no (other than GreenSox)? Sox Get: Jonathon Lucroy Ryan Braun Will Smith Brewers Get: Carson Fulmer Jordan Guerrero Trey Michalczewski Jacob May (or Adam Engel) Jhoandro Alfaro Carlos Sanchez Matt Davidson New Sox Lineup: 1. Eaton, RF 2. Abreu, 1B 3. Braun, LF 4. Cabrera, DH 5. Frazier, 3B 6. Lucroy, C 7. Lawrie, 2B 8. Jackson, CF 9. Saladino, SS The Brewers?

Start the year 23 and 10.... Then only be 4 over .500 at this point.. No way to paint it other than a disappointment. Hopefully they run off on a good 8 - 2 for the next 10.

I honestly think that by June 20th the picture will be clearer. By that time the sellers market will have emerged. We'll have played 12 in division games. KC and CLE will have played 7 games against each other.

Between now and the we play: Detroit 6 times KC 3 times CLE 3 times KC plays CLE 7 times and Detroit 4 times This is a big stretch here were I personally hope we either tank or rise up. Anything middle of the road will be no fun and will completely tank the premise of this thread. Edit: Toodles.

A win? What's that?? Give me 10 more in a row, please.

I'd much rather have two pen arms and a LH bat.

Watch Cespedes have like an 94 RBI series against us.

Bipolar Bullpen. A phrase coined by the 2016 White Sox.

QUOTE (oldsox @ May 29, 2016 -> 04:52 AM) Little Jimmy Shields? If I can hit him then stay away.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ May 28, 2016 -> 05:05 PM) Yes sir. Another brilliant Kenny move! Mark Koch is likely my most disliked Sox player of all time. Eek. Good ol' Billy Botch.

Maybe the deal is shelved because the Sox asked for a reliever too. Ha. f*** it, include Kemp as well. Gah.
