2014: Your Chicago White Sox Injured Reserves!

So, his arm fell off and they super glued it back on? He'll be fine in a couple hours then... f*** it.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 08:14 PM) Ready for this draft. Need to get it right Is it tomorrow?

Seems kinda like a side session then. At first I didn't like it but after more thought, don't mind it.

Tank going to the opposite field with a pitch for a bomb... What a beautiful thing.

Didn't see the comin.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Apr 18, 2014 -> 04:49 PM) Chris Crawford ‏@CrawfordChrisV 6m Carlos Rodon through 4: 2 H, 2 BB, 0 ER, 1 K against Boston College. Meh. He's killin it! YES!!

If Paulino keeps stinking it up today - what are the odds that he gets sent down and Rienzo is called up?

Groundhogs Day.

In two words - hostGator sucks. About 10% of the Internet was down yesterday.

I'll play for 1 mil a year if they sign me tonight to a 6 year deal. Just throwin it out there... Ya know?

I am forgetting his name at this moment, but I think he was either a lefty power guy, or a switch hitting power catcher who was good defensively. I'll look him up and edit this post. EDIT: Found him. Not a lefty, or a switch-hitter, so I'm not sure why I thought that, but his name is Jakson Reetz. http://m.mlb.com/video/v31230535/draft-rep...tcheroutfielder So Reetz or Conor Gillaspie's brother, Casey, would be nice picks to get in the 2nd RD. Yup, Reetz. Athletic and should remain at catcher. Your browser does not support iframes. Kids hot.

I can see why teams are shying away from Rondon. Pretty surprising and I wouldn't doubt it if he slides more.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 10, 2014 -> 04:38 PM) On the bright side, there is no bright side On the bright side - Garcia will be greatly pained by having to be sidelined. When he comes back you best damn well know that he will be working on his routes and will no longer belly flop into the grass with his shoulder.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Apr 10, 2014 -> 01:51 PM) Looks like it was one of the unlikely ones. At least it's not a 3rd degree sepration which are tough to fix. These aren't as bad unless the biceps tendon became heavily damaged as well. He will be good to go for next spring training. Nice to have the resident Doc on call

QUOTE (The Mighty Mite @ Apr 10, 2014 -> 12:34 PM) I'm one guy who did not want Tank traded, he is too young to give up on. He now has his chance to step it up and reach the potential we all thought he had when we signed him. Up until now it looked like a platoon role for him but with Garcia out for the year Tank has to do the job, I'm not a big DeAza fan but I guess he gets LF full time and Danks will be the 4th outfielder and a late inning replacement for Tank. It could still be a fun year as we watch some of these guys develop. While this is all true - it still sucks.

Joy.

ptact, can you give us some personal insight into this injury as it relates to fielding and hitting?

On the other side if the conceptual spectrum, the at bats have been more of substantial quality. You can't deny that.

QUOTE (Hawkfan @ Apr 6, 2014 -> 07:08 AM) Shields is old! he should of been out of the game years ago, but he can't stay home becuae he hates his wife. I must be old too then, since distorying him in high school was my past time.

I just threw up some arbitrary dates since polls are limited to 10 choices. My money is on June 1st. He'll be controllable until 2020 if they wait until June 1st.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 4, 2014 -> 08:47 PM) I wonder if Garcia will improve as a defender. He appears to have no instincts as far as chasing the ball. I'm not giving up on him by any means, but he looks uncomfortable in the outfield. If he catches that little looper in right field then three runs don't score. I'm shocked the Royals were playing so shallow on that catch by Cain that ended that one inning. With Abreu's power you'd think the outfield would have been deeper. Had that little pop to center fallen the game might have been more interesting. The advanced defensive metrics saw this coming... Personally thou, there's not a single game that sticks out in my mind last year where his play in the field was this poor. Going strictly on "an eye test" - he's gotta get better. Edit: Metrically speaking, he's f***ed.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 4, 2014 -> 11:12 PM) Then sick back dude. Lots of today's coming at you. Personally I think we gel and take a step towards 90. I like the energy. Pretty optimistic - but it's possible. I do believe a vast majority of the weakness we've seen in this team will be naturally addressed in a short time. IE: Starting pitching tightening it up, defense coming together, bullpen control coming around. There's lots of room for growth. 90 wins this year or not, the step is the important part of your statement. Unequivocally we'll do that. My crystal ball already showed me.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 07:42 PM) I know it's early, but ON PAPER this bullpen has to be one of the worst in baseball. We did beat a horrendous Minnie team 2 of 3 in our own ballpark which is good, but I can't imagine winning more games than last year with this bullpen. Good teams are going to feast on this pen I would think. I realize it was cold out and probably hard to throw strikes, but we don't have squat in the bullpen this year. On a glass half full side of things re. the bullpen, I guess Nate could get it together and be one good piece of the pen. Control has been the main issue. They'll shape up soon.

It can only get better. We've only seen three games fellas.
