QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 1, 2016 -> 10:49 AM) Nope. Though I think they are both semi-long shots anyway for that, but both are possible. Clark I understand. Why wouldn't they give Goldberg innings though? There is no reason why Matt Albers should be getting innings that Goldberg could be pitching.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 1, 2016 -> 08:03 AM) I got the majority of those right. I didn't predict Michalczewski because he's been there before, and players rarely go twice. Also kinda surprised at Hawkins, but hey, why not. Does this prevent Clark or Goldberg from being September call ups?

Rodon is well on his way to becoming a TOR starter. We knew this though if paying attention. He's still a really young pitcher that didn't have any minor league time.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 1, 2016 -> 10:13 AM) And in the mean time, while we talk about how awesomely valuable Chris and Q are, we can miss the playoffs for the 6th straight season with them next year. This is the common retort but trading them for less than they're worth is equally stupid. This really isn't a debate. We should want them to be traded because if they are, a haul is coming in return. If they aren't traded, it's because those deals aren't out there and it's not worth doing anyway.

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Sep 1, 2016 -> 10:01 AM) Geez his agent really screwed up on that deal. I assume he won't accept the QO, yet again diminishing part of his appeal as a FA. Fowler didn't really have a choice. He could have signed a 2 year deal with Sox or Orioles for more $$ or taken less with Cubs to be on great team. Either way, he was going to receive another QO unless they sat half the season and signed after the deadline.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 1, 2016 -> 09:43 AM) They should have "little interest" in trading them. If either gets traded it should be because a team made a f***ing ridiculous offer to get them. It shouldn't be a situation where teams are telling you what is off of the table that gets a deal done. With the mediocrity of the offers at the deadline which were reported, I have little interest in that either. I agree with this. As I've said, they need franchise altering hauls in return to trade either player.

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Sep 1, 2016 -> 09:49 AM) Can Fowler be offered a QO if he declines the mutual option for next season? I didn't think so but I could be wrong. Yes. The Cubs will offer him a QO.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 1, 2016 -> 09:35 AM) Only week 1 so hard to make predictions. Based on performances, I'd pick either BR or Maine South. Both with tough week 2 games. Maine South plays Loyola this week and Barrington next week and then doesn't play anyone after that. It's a weak conference. LWE plays Brook, HF, Thornton, and Bradley Bourbonnais. Rice plays a really tough schedule typically but St. Rita and Providence are both down. Should be interesting.

The White Sox aren't in a position as an organization to be giving up any draft picks to sign free agents.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Sep 1, 2016 -> 07:34 AM) I get questions here all the time about going to Chicago and I have to mention attending a Cubs game. The fact is, when the White Sox are competitive, the White Sox game is a cultural experience. The regional nature of the White Sox fanbase (when they play well) is really quite charming. However, the current Cubs experience is just incredible for tourists who are fans of the game. The neighborhood, the park, the quality of the play (a major change) are just such a great image for Chicago culture. Wrigley Field is fine once you are in your seat. Everything else sucks about it though. Limited beer options, the food is bad, there are people everywhere and nowhere to walk, minimal ATM machines, it takes forever to get there. I usually go once a year because my wife is a Pirates fan but other than that I wouldn't take free tickets. I don't hate the Cubs either. I'm just a White Sox fan that isn't real interested in the whole Wrigley Field thing.

This doesn't really say anything though. Reinsdorf is 80 and wants to win. I doubt they trade either guy unless they get a franchise altering haul.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Aug 31, 2016 -> 05:56 PM) Since 2002 has Lincoln-Way Central ever beaten Lincoln-Way East? I think the answer is no. Lincoln Way East has 120 kids on varsity. They could split their team in half and make the playoffs with both teams. Lincoln Way Central is better as they've received some players from East. East received all of the players from Lincoln Way North. West is also good. We play all three schools this year. LWE would be my pick for the 8A state title but it's obviously early.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 31, 2016 -> 12:44 PM) Does Hamels not qualify? I guess he should be: 173 IP, 2.91 ERA, 3.86 FIP, 1.26 WHIP. I forgot to include him because his 2.8 fWAR isn't on the main fangraphs pitching page. My bad.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Aug 31, 2016 -> 10:32 AM) There is no way in hell that David Price should even be considered for the award. He's had an awful year. 183 innings of a 3.46 FIP isn't awful. It's not good enough for the CY though.

CY Young Race Corey Kluber: 175.2 IP, 3.07 ERA, 3.11 FIP, WHIP 1.05, SIERA 3.53, 4.5 fWAR Jose Quintana: 172.1 IP, 2.77 ERA, 3.34 FIP, WHIP 1.10, SIERA 3.95, 4.4 fWAR Chris Sale: 177.2 IP 3.14 ERA, 3.35 FIP, WHIP 1.00, SIERA 3.51, 4.4 fWAR David Price: 183.2 IP, 3.97 ERA, 3.46 FIP, WHIP 1.23, SIERA 3.55, 3.9 fWAR Masahiro Tanaka: 173 IP, 3.12 ERA, 3.26 FIP, WHIP 1.06, SIERA 3.69, 4.5 fWAR Kluber with the slight lead I think as of now but a wide open AL Cy Young race.

QUOTE (Username @ Aug 29, 2016 -> 09:33 PM) You mean good raw stuff or were you just looking at the line? If his stuff has bounced back a bit it would be huge. FutureSox ‏@FutureSox Spencer Adams last 5 starts: 33.1 IP, 12 R, 10 ER (2.70 ERA), 15 K, 3 BB, 31 hits allowed.

QUOTE (shipps @ Aug 29, 2016 -> 02:19 PM) I am shocked. The two sides cant possibly have anything other than hateful feeling towards one another. I guess it wouldnt be the first time in professional sports that happened. Chargers caved. Probably after they watched their defense yesterday. Woof.

Good stuff on Kaepernick here: http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2016/08/29/baf...ick-2-americas/

The Wire easily for me. True Detective Season 1 is a stand alone so I think that's up there too. Some of the best 8 episodes of television ever IMO

I don't think there's any chance he makes it to the Sox on waivers.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Aug 29, 2016 -> 07:52 AM) Going to be interesting to see if we make another move or 2 over next 3 days. Steve Stone mentioned this on the radio yesterday. He thought that they would

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Aug 28, 2016 -> 10:29 PM) ?? he's 25. He isn't in the minors because of his personality. He's in the minors because he hasn't been a good player the last 2 years. Note the words "steep discount." You certainly don't pay for his 2014 production. He had like an .800 OPS over his last 40 games with LAD.

Nate Jones is very good. I don't really understand when people don't like him. 2.34 ERA, 3.08 FIP, 9 K/9 is down a bit but he has a WHIP of 0.93. Jones is a stud.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Aug 28, 2016 -> 02:05 PM) Potential 2017 bullpen: Putnam, Petricka, Jones, Jennings, Burdi, Robertson, Ynoa? This is a solid pen when healthy, there are a lot of ifs, such as can Burdi succeed in the majors, health, Robertson putting it back together. I'd rather have Ynoa than Albers. Brad Goldberg and Brian Clark are young possibilities for pen as well

QUOTE (hi8is @ Aug 27, 2016 -> 09:13 PM) -MLBTR Steve Stone said on Hit and Run that he thinks Sox make another deal or two before September 1st as well
