QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 7, 2013 -> 07:57 AM) "The Sox might be viewing Alejandro De Aza as a fourth outfielder — or as trade bait." Just terrible if true. Nobody would miss De Aza. Nobody.

http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/10/...-baseball-show/ David Price is such a (I got a lot of words, but most of them are offensive to some people).

How should Hahn fix the White Sox? By not doing anything dumb between now and Opening Day 2015. No Band-Aid approach. Keep making smart trades for good prospects who have brains Don't sign anyone over 30 to a deal for more than two years Poach some scouts/player development people from other organizations that know what they're doing. Get a real manager after 2014 when Reinsdorf will let him

Matt Harvey is having Tommy John surgery. See you in 2015.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Oct 3, 2013 -> 06:04 PM) Excellent report. Thanks for pulling all that information together. One question: In the past I thought teams were limited to six guys. Have they expanded or our they just rotating a few guys out? A couple of the players are only eligible to play on Wednesday's and Saturday's. Pretty sure Jacobs is one of them.

TB over Bos in 5 Det over Oak in 3 LA over Atl in 4 StL over Pit in 5 TB over Det in 6 LA over StL in 7 TB over LA in 6 I'm never right, so go opposite of this.

I think the right teams won these games. Playoffs should be good.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 1, 2013 -> 03:43 PM) If the Indians are lucky enough to win tonight, I don't believe they'll win more than 1 in the ALDS It's going to be tough for them to win tonight. They don't have a game.

QUOTE (knightni @ Oct 1, 2013 -> 08:07 AM) The Wild Card game needs to be a best of three series. I would like the one game play-in more if they went to no divisions and a more balanced schedule. It seems unfair for the Pirates to have their season come down to one game when they won 94 games, and the Dodgers won 92 games--and they automatically move on to the best-of-5. If I knew the Play-In Game was the true 4th and 5th seed, I wouldn't feel bad for the loser of that game. But if the Pirates lose tonight, I would feel bad for them because it's possible they were one of the three best teams in the NL. The Dodgers were just in the right division.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 30, 2013 -> 07:03 PM) Go Nelson Cruz Yes. Please go...away.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 30, 2013 -> 03:48 PM) The Baseball Cube ‏@thebaseballcube 9m #Rangers Joey Butler draws the short-straw and is DFA'd as Texas reinstates Nelson Cruz in time for Game #163 Cruz is DH-ing. Go Rays.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Sep 30, 2013 -> 01:24 PM) Brian McCann and Abreu are on my wish list. Couple trades can definitely improve this team We can probably forget about the Sox signing high-profile free agents, including Abreu. The Sox are going to have to make smart trades, smaller free agent signings, and gasp, actually draft and develop some position players. Garcia and Semien look to be a good start at rebuilding the offense, but this is probably going to take a few years to get back to contention.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Sep 30, 2013 -> 11:25 AM) His comments when hired should have gotten him fired the next day. He was not a believer in OBP and as such they are where they are. Amen. I'm not huge on hitting coaches making a huge difference, but that was ridiculous when Manto said he didn't care about walks. I hope they talk to Rudy Jaramillo and Kevin Seitzer.

He gone.

Trading Adam Dunn. Or a Christmas gift of Adam Dunn retiring.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 29, 2013 -> 06:03 PM) A play-in game to decide who plays in the, um, play-in game? This second wild card is the dumbest s*** ever. I like the second wildcard. It keeps a lot of teams alive later into the season. But I don't like calling the Reds, Pirates, and Indians playoff teams yet. Those teams shouldn't have had champagne celebrations and all the hoopla until they are one of four in the league alive (actually I think the Reds didn't, so good for them). Basically, the next three nights are elimination games, and it should be a lot of fun.

The Sox had to match the Cubs the last 27 games to get the 3rd pick. The Cubs went 9-18. No Problemo. The Sox went 7-20.

Interleague ends 154-146, in favor of the AL.

Henderson Alvarez no-hitting the Tigers through 8. But it's a 0-0 game.

Semien is in the lineup next year. No way he's a bench player at the start of next season.

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Sep 28, 2013 -> 08:02 PM) won 88 games his first year. 85. Finished the season 4-11.

Hahn saying it will probably be a guy with hitting coach experience.

Thome next year?

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 28, 2013 -> 06:45 PM) Who's in the booth? Whoever it is, they called Marcus "Semen" That would be the governor of Illinois.
