QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 22, 2014 -> 10:55 AM) He's hitting .340something. Home runs don't matter if you're getting on base like that, whether you're a 3B or a CF. 28 games. They have time to figure this out.

I'll go 94 pitches in 6 innings.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ May 22, 2014 -> 10:45 AM) No. There isn't even a lock at 1-1 in this draft. Calling a lock at 44 would be absurd. I think what he means is if Gillaspie was there at 44, of course the Sox would take him, because that's the White Sox way with relatives. That said, he'll be gone before 44 based on what I've read.

Gillaspie has played 28 out of 48 games, and hasn't homered yet from a power position. They got time to figure this out.

Francisco will be DFA tomorrow, per Dan Hayes. Carroll to the pen.

24-24 with Sale on the mound tomorrow would have been nice, but they were fortunate to get two wins. Big ten games at home now.

Surprised Nestor Molina has hung on this long. He's pretty brutal.

What the?

7+ innings from Q would be nice.

Thanks, Cubs for beating Tanaka. First loss in about 21 months. Wildcard standings. http://espn.go.com/mlb/standings/_/type/wild-card/group/5 Long season. Hope Sale and Abreu come back and this team stays healthy (somehow).

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ May 20, 2014 -> 10:32 PM) I'll take back to back 7-6 V's. Tough match. Straight sets tomorrow.

It's never easy

Beckham .362 his last 14 games.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 20, 2014 -> 09:22 PM) When are people going to admit Beckham is looking good. He's been good. Defense shaky once in a while, but he's hitting. Still don't like him for 2015.

Rienzo--pleasant surprise.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 20, 2014 -> 08:47 PM) If it's Aiken, I think he can talk about how he has 4 pitches and doesn't rely on his fastball. If it's Kolek, then it basically goes against everything he said. It would be funny if Rodon and Aiken were off the board, and they passed on Kolek for Alex Jackson. Probably won't happen, but it's not necessarily the wrong move in the long run.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ May 20, 2014 -> 08:39 PM) Because he obviously has no idea there is a very very large chance that he will have to be talking up said high draft choice HS pitcher in about 2 1/2 weeks. I wonder if he will lie to everyone and be excited about the pick, or disapprove of the choice or just say "Rick Hahn knows what he is doing" At the very least, Hawk needs to say something like, "It's a risky pick, and not something I would do, but our guys (Hahn/Laumann, etc) love this kid and think he's going to be a good one." Something like that. He can't go all apes*** excited about a 17-year-old pitcher.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 20, 2014 -> 08:12 PM) Hawk just said a high school pitcher is the worst draft choice in baseball.....UGH If the Sox draft Aiken or Kolek, I want Hawk to say he hates the pick on June 6th. I have no problem with that opinion, but at least be consistent.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 20, 2014 -> 12:26 PM) How did you even FIND that? I just have "white sox" on twitter search bookmarked, and I happened to see it at the right time.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 20, 2014 -> 12:09 PM) I don't see anything on Twitter yet. https://twitter.com/Ben_Baby/status/468787773365702658 Looks like the original tweet was a hs friend. Denton, TX.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 20, 2014 -> 12:08 PM) I agree, but also agree that you don't look to trade him, like they did with Peavy last year. That was a case of basically telling the league "we ARE trading this guy," whereas with Alexei they are saying "we CAN trade this guy." Right. It's just the same plan as Hahn has set...the Sox have to get young players that will be here for the long run. It's not a trade for a sake of a trade. That's why I'm skeptical that they'll trade anyone.

If the Sox are out of it in late July, and they get offered something for Alexei that makes sense, absolutely you trade him.
