QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Jun 20, 2013 -> 02:23 PM) Not sure why this thread was brought back considering Dunn's June. .254/.351/.571 6 HR 14 RBI in 17 games. 10/16 BB/K. OPS .923. Well most of you weren't hating on Dunn but maybe the ones that were just love to hate? The guy is improving and probably has been our best player this month. I brought it back because I asked why nobody was ragging on Konerko. Then I realized that strikeouts are worse then every other out because they look worse. Then I stopped posting about it.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 20, 2013 -> 05:16 PM) His save %age was 88% last year and is 91% this year so far. I would definitely trade them Reed for Castellanos or Garcia. Not going to happen though.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 18, 2013 -> 04:23 PM) Dunn isn't even the worst player in the last 10 years. Probably not even close. I know. It's tough for him to be the worst player in White Sox history when he's not even the worst player on the current team.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 18, 2013 -> 05:02 PM) So who goes to the bullpen in July and why is that a good idea? Who cares? They will be bad. Put Axelrod in the bullpen. Start the 4 lefties and Peavy. There solved.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 18, 2013 -> 03:15 PM) According to Tim Hayes, a sports reporter in the Bristol area, Tim Anderson is indeed playing at Bristol, but not for long. Apparently a planned, short time there. Barnum I didn't know about, that's interesting. Tim Anderson confirmed to FutureSox on twitter that he is indeed starting in Kannapolis.

QUOTE (lord chas @ Jun 17, 2013 -> 10:46 PM) Wise does not make $14 million a year Obviously, but I was responding to Greg saying Dunn is the worst player in White Sox history.

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Jun 18, 2013 -> 02:02 PM) Mercer is their new starter, and he is better offensively than Alexi. Mercer is actually a guy that I think the Sox could get in a Ramirez deal. Pittsburgh isn't going to give you any of their top 4 prospects but they have a deep system. Tabata could definitely be had. He doesn't even play. They have Marte and McCutchen for a long time in LF/CF. Garrett Jones and Travis Snider at RF/DH. They really could use Alexei though.

QUOTE (jthunder93 @ Jun 17, 2013 -> 08:07 PM) Now, I would like to see some players you all are excited to watch as they start their season in a few days. Personally, I am interested to see how Tim Anderson starts off his professional career in Bristol. Sammy Ayala was hitting well towards the end of his first year in Bristol, and I think he can have a solid 2013 campaign. Keon Barnum, 1st rounder from 2012, starts the season in Bristol, where he appeared in just 13 games last season. Hopefully, this year will yield strong numbers for him. Is Bristol going to have Ayala, Tim Anderson, Barnum, Basto, and Michalczewski? That will be a box score I check daily. Especially with Danish pitching there. Mitchell is going to Great Falls. Hopefully as a SP.

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Jun 17, 2013 -> 06:36 PM) Erik Johnson went 5 IP, 3H, 1 BB, 4 SOs. Only needed 60 pitches for the rain shortened start. EJ's ERA is down to 2.23. I bet he didn't touch 90 mph though..................

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 17, 2013 -> 01:47 PM) Home runs are fun, definitely, but I think Dunn is almost an exception to that rule. He's been so lousy that just seeing him stride to the plate is buzzkill. Am I in the minority on this? I just think Dunn is about the worst player in White Sox history and I hate seeing him walk to the plate. If there are any Dunn fans out there, I stand corrected. Adam Dunn has always been one of my favorite players. When the Sox signed him, it was about the most excited I've been about a Sox FA acquisition. He has been a big disappointment. However, he's a great guy and I want him to succeed. I have always recognized that what he has provided is not good enough but there are bigger problems on this team. I would much rather watch Dunn than Juan Pierre, Mark Kotsay, Rob Mackowiak and many of the other guys that have come through town. Jesus Christ DeWayne Wise is on the team.

QUOTE (TRU @ Jun 17, 2013 -> 09:27 PM) This is going to be unpopular and will never happen, but.. I would offer Chris Sale to the Rangers for Olt and Profar.. Yeah I'd make that deal

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 16, 2013 -> 11:09 PM) Jake, why in the hell should you stick it out with Dunn? I'd trade him so fast if anybody would take him. I'd get Tank out of here with his .267 OBP. Sick of guys who swing at everything, thus are easy outs. Greg, who's having the better year: Paul Konerko or Adam Dunn? Just wondering.....

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 16, 2013 -> 08:44 PM) Mr. Madison, what you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. A simple WRONG would've been just fine......

Where is Marty34 in this thread now? Certain people didn't understand why the Sox took a Jacob May in round 3. If you have to, just pretend that Anderson, Mitchell, Danish, and Michalczewski were the Sox first 4 picks. This is why you have to look at the entire draft before commenting. White Sox have done a nice job of adding through the draft the last 2 years. I hope it continues. Now hopefully their efforts in Latin America and overseas can start making a positive dent as well.

Sale will be the White Sox lone representative.

I went to the game at Kane County today. Almora didn't do much but Pierce Johnson threw 7 scoreless ip. Looks like a solid #3 starter in the big leagues.

If you could guarantee Carlos Rodon I'd be willing to be the worst team in baseball this year. Unfortunately, I think Miami has that locked up.

QUOTE (staxx @ Jun 15, 2013 -> 04:21 PM) Is there ANY possibility we can get both Engel and Rodriguez? I would imagine that Engel will sign. Octavio Rodriguez probably goes to school. He could be a 1st rounder in 3 years.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 14, 2013 -> 03:29 PM) https://twitter.com/CST_soxvan/status/34563...9523584/photo/1 Beckham leading off I have seen people complaining about Beckham in the leadoff spot. Who cares? They are facing a LHP. I'd actually rather have Gordon there instead of De Aza.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 14, 2013 -> 01:39 PM) Does any team have enough cap space that they could make a legit run at both? Balta, I think Atlanta could do it. I think the Clippers could dump some pieces and pull it off as well though. Dallas has enough room for 1 player.

Tyler Danish ⚾ ‏@danish_Tyler7 40m IT'S OFFICIAL THE CONTRACT IS SIGN IM NOW APART OF THE CHICAGO WHITE SOX ORGANIZATION ⚾ Tyler Danish will most likely start his career at Bristol. @TradeDeadliner: Source: #WhiteSox sign second round pick Tyler Danish (55th overall). He got slot value ($1,001,800). @jimcallisBA

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 13, 2013 -> 10:58 AM) He said almost right away he was headed to Chicago this weekend to sign, and he already is tweeting about his assignment (which he said is the "A ball" team). If he means Kanny, that is a tough first assignment for a high schooler. Anyway, he's not a tough sign, I think he'll be easy. And I am still not sure what JVS meant by "in the fold", I asked him for clarification, didn't hear back. I don't think it means they have all signed yet, just that they are all either signed, agreed to terms, or about to. The tweet that I saw from him said he was coming to Chicago to sign and then would be off to Bristol, Tennessee to start his career.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 13, 2013 -> 09:44 PM) I know he's young, but that's an awfully big ask to have him go from 'below average pitch recognition' with a 'wild swing' to being a productive Major Leaguer. Obviously he's talented in some areas, but I'm surprised people are still optimistic about Hawkins. Let's write off a 19 year old 1st round pick at High A that did not play much baseball as a high schooler. Sounds like a great idea.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 12, 2013 -> 09:52 AM) The Sox currently have the 6th best ERA in the league and the 4th best starters ERA in the league with what is still a very young pitching staff. A full blown rebuild is absolutely irrational and brash. You make small moves - Crain and Thornton are unlikely to be brought back, so they can be dealt, and if a good package for Peavy or De Aza/Rios, you can make that as well - but tearing this thing apart would be about the worst possible thing this franchise could do right now. It would be worse than giving out a $100 million contract to a player right now, and they wouldn't do that either. They need to determine their two biggest holes offensively going into next season and address those in the offseason. If you can fix three of them, all the better. At the very minimum, the Sox will have a new 1B next year, and they could very well add 3-4 more new pieces on top of that too and it wouldn't hurt. This is absolutely correct. I think Crain and Thornton definitely get traded. I would not be surprised if Alexei was traded either. You can't trade guys just to trade them. Always ask yourself "Does this trade get you closer to the eventual goal of winning a world series"? Lindstrom and DeAza could go as well but would not bring much in return. I have speculated about the Pirates as a team that may be interested in Ramirez. The pitching is too good to have a full scale rebuild just to have one. I would trade Rios or Peavy if there were a maximum return but there probably will not be. I would not just trade Rios and Peavy to do it though. This organization needs to start making good trades and maximizing their return

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 12, 2013 -> 09:14 AM) No, he's sucked this year and he's part of the reason they've been this bad. He looks really old this year. There are a lot of reasons. PK is one of them. Viciedo, Flowers, Ramirez, Keppinger, and yes Dunn. At least Dunn is going to hit 40 homers. It just does not fit when you have black holes in most other spots as well.
