QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 04:34 PM) I've seen strong evidence to tell me the pimp can crush lefties. And Mark has an .820 OPS against righties this year. I am in favor of the platoon. I'm more in favor of Carlos DHing full time though.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 04:25 PM) When does Teahen come back again? If Kotsay is DFA'd when that happens and Viciedo is on the team, at least I'd have reason to think our team has some semblance of logic about it's everyday players. Soon I hope. I'd like to see him in right field.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 04:23 PM) and no home runs That's the good thing about Jackson. His high ground ball rates fit this park and this team very well. With our infield having 3 plus defenders in Alexei, Omar, and Beckham on most nights, it will really help Jackson.

QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 03:07 PM) August 30th is the deadline. Why can't people f***ing understand this? We needed pitching before at bat when Peavy went donw. Going through waivers while your team is in first place is going to be hard as hell. Manny Ramirez might be the only possibility since he has so much money left on his deal. If we have to send any players back in a deal, that'd make it even harder since they would also have to clear waivers.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 04:11 PM) I still think this team has a shot. Jackson has the ability to be a pretty good pitcher and I feel we have a strong defense and strong bullpen. If the bats are hot at the right time this team could win it all. But I like Danks/Floyd/Jackson more than some. And we all know I am Floyds biggest fan. I think Floyd is one of the best starters in all of baseball. There are a lot of numbers that say this is the case.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 03:07 PM) F*** you Rizzo I hope you get stuck with Dunn next year when he accepts arb. For 16 mil. Although this is very disapointing, hopefuly we get something through waivers without givig up much. EJax does make us a better team though. But I'm disappointed. It's okay, take out your anger on Mike Rizzo with this... http://memegenerator.net/Incredibly-Frustrating-GM

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 02:23 PM) We got Jackson because we wanted Jackson. I say this after every trade KW makes that looks bad but has someone suggesting "wait, this is just part of a larger deal!" If Jackson was even likely to go to Washington, the Sox wouldn't have made the deal, they'd have waited and tried to make it a 3 way deal that gets sent to the Commish. You don't complete the first deal unless you want the guy in the first deal, because the final deal can always fall apart. That's what I mean, for the hell of it as in they wanted Jackson himself.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 02:21 PM) More on #WhiteSox, conflicts with previous tweet: Source says #Nationals have not made counter-offer on Dunn "in days." Truth at 4 pm! - Rosenthal Wow, so we just got Jackson for the hell of it?

Just in case Rizzo robs us or leaves us with no Adam Dunn... http://memegenerator.net/Incredibly-Frustrating-GM Have fun.

QUOTE (Real @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 02:16 PM) per Cot's contracts: He has two more years of arb left.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 02:12 PM) That is fantastic. Any way you can digitally place a cucumber in his mouth? Too much work. If you feel creative...http://memegenerator.net/Incredibly-Frustrating-GM

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 02:08 PM) Maybe it's us? =D I bet that we've inquired about just about everyone... seems like Kenny is in super insane mode like never before. There is hope!

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 02:07 PM) So all we need is a time machine? Time travel is possible, ya know.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 02:07 PM) Again, you want Luke Scott up there in the Postseason rather than Manny? Looking forward as in 2011 and beyond. Manny's $15 million in deferred money worries me.

I'd rather have Luke Scott than Manny, looking forward.

If you're planning on trading Viciedo with Jackson for Dunn, why not just go to the Dodgers and offer them Viciedo for Manny? Manny + Jackson > Dunn.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 01:53 PM) What is the FIP statistic? Fielding Independent Pitching. Formula - ((HR * 13) + ((NIBB + HBP) * 3) - (K * 2))/Innings pitched + 3.2 It measures all the things a pitcher can control and it is a very good indicator of future success (xFIP more so).

QUOTE (G&T @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 01:49 PM) The Garza stuff was out there before he threw a no hitter. So I would say that Rizzo is serious about raiding a team. I don't care when it took place, Matt Garza for Adam Dunn is flatout stupid.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 01:47 PM) Lucas Harrell says hi. His 5.8 FIP also says hi.

Just in case Kenny doesn't get anything and people start to riot.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 01:32 PM) Isn't Cantu much better thank Kotsay? Yes he is.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 01:30 PM) Don't they have to offer him a deal/offer arb. to get that? They're not doing that. Who says they won't? The arbitration might be $15 million, but if Dunn is coming off such a great year, I'm sure he'll look for a big deal elsewhere.

This looks bad.

We're nowhere near fine as is. If you want to win the World Series, you get a bat. This offense won't hit come September as-is. I'd say with this current team, we have a 50-60% shot at this division.
