QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 3, 2015 -> 02:30 PM) I'm all in on hating Gordon Beckham just because. Agreed, same here. Duke blows a lead? Beckham's fault Danks gives up 6 homers? Beckham's fault Flowers strikes out? Beckham's fault

It's not that bad for the Twins. They save over $6 million and it's not like they had any chance to compete this year anyway.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 3, 2015 -> 11:14 AM) Eaton CF Cabrera LF Abreu 1B LaRoche DH Ramirez SS Garcia RF Gillaspie 3B Flowers C Johnson 2B The Sox really really need Garcia to be a good hitter. He can make or break the lineup.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Apr 3, 2015 -> 08:49 AM) Always take the pitching over hitting. Pitching wins the post season. True but the Giants showed us you only need one starting pitcher to succeed. The Royals almost won with two.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 3, 2015 -> 09:56 AM) The only thing I think Bryant shouldnt have said was that shot about being better than players on the the team last fall. Its absolutely true, but thats just something you dont say Shots fired Mike Olt!

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 2, 2015 -> 10:55 PM) No clue but I know the mutual interest is extremely high. Like if this was college he may have committed already. Apparently the Sox are like Illinois and he is looking for Notre Dame type money

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 2, 2015 -> 05:05 PM) Flowers, Beckham and Danks are the punching bags. Flowers and Beckham can go 3 for 4 and the game if lost will come back to the time they made an out. I won't blame Beckham for anything this season. It will all be on Hahn for the lazy KW-esque signing.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 2, 2015 -> 09:38 PM) People are just over Beckham I get it. As a non baseball analogy, he's like Matt Cassel to Chiefs fans in the NFL. Sucked and we were tired of him rammed up our asses week in week out. I'm over Beckham. As a reserve I can handle it. But he's clearly not a full time player and I want to see Micah and Carlos get their chances. If Beckham had half the career Matt Cassel did, Sox fans would love him.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 2, 2015 -> 08:36 PM) I really wish Boras would force a swap for Rodon. Mutually beneficial. Lol. Rodon seems legit but I would take Bryant without a second thought.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 2, 2015 -> 07:35 PM) Mutual agreement it's a bit early. They have a very good relationship. The discussions aren't going to just end. Are they offering him anywhere near market value? I would think that's why they haven't agreed yet, but of course I could be wrong.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Apr 2, 2015 -> 10:10 AM) I think the Bears have signed more free agents this year than the Packers have in the past 10 years. That's because nobody wants to live in Green Bay.

22 teams have $100 million payrolls, wow.

QUOTE (LDF @ Apr 1, 2015 -> 11:39 PM) yeah but you can criticize his agent for not putting in a clause of some sort to protect him, in case of something like this or how the marlin owners screwed Mark B. Protect him from what? His agent got him $10 million if he never makes the majors again. If he was a career minor leaguer, what would he make? Less than a million total?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Apr 1, 2015 -> 02:53 PM) Texas scout guy reports Shaka to Texas on a 5 year deal. Wow. If Shaka is as good as they say, he should kill it at Texas. I also saw that Gregg Marshall got a raise to stay in Wichita. Good to see a MVC school can pay a coach over $3 million.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 1, 2015 -> 08:28 PM) If Sale takes the L in his first start, you can ban me for a week. Ain't happening. I see a 2-1 loss to Phil Hughes, the offense let's him down.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 1, 2015 -> 03:06 PM) Because you can do that in baseball. Right. Haha, you are right, but I did give the best pitcher a loss.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Apr 1, 2015 -> 02:47 PM) Sale's official line: 6IP, 2H, 1R, 1ER, 0 BB, 13K. 90 pitches/67 strikes vs Reds' Single-A club. https://twitter.com/ESPNChiSox/status/583369837814087681 A single A club? That's 2 hits too many and 5 Ks too few. He's not ready

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 28, 2015 -> 01:51 PM) Twins rotation will be: Hughes, Santana, Nolasco, Gibson, Milone First week for the Sox? Mon- Samardzija vs Ventura Wed- Quintana vs Duffy Thu- Danks vs Volquez Fri- Noesi vs Gibson Sat- Samardzija vs Milone Sun- Sale vs Hughes Win/Win/Loss/Win/Win/Loss

Houston demotes Jon Singleton to AAA. That's why you can't criticize players for taking team friendly deals when real young. He could never make the majors again but will still be a heck of a lot richer had he not taken his deal.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 1, 2015 -> 12:14 PM) It takes two to sign a deal. At this point the White Sox are willing and Jeff isn't. I do think that will change in due time. Is Jeff not willing or has he not been offered enough money yet? I lean towards the latter.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 1, 2015 -> 10:49 AM) Looks like it's down to 2 of: Sanchez if they take another position player Surkamp Cleto Drabek Penny Asencio Leon I'd take Surkamp and Drabek, but whatever. Drabek needs to clear waivers to be sent to Charlotte, correct? I'd rather see him down there, but might as well keep him up for a little to see what you got. Not that you can trust him in important situations.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 1, 2015 -> 09:38 AM) If this was still a thing, they would have never traded for the guy in the first place. Then why isn't he signed yet?

The best was Konerko traded for Griffey Jr. on the Score several years back.

Those two will be some stellar trade deadline acquisitions.

Kaner practicing in a non contact jersey today. He can't come back during the regular season because of salary cap reasons, but an earlier return than the conference finals looks more likely.
