Chicago White Sox

QUOTE (beautox @ Apr 8, 2017 -> 01:10 PM) Crazy to think they could've had Bryant and Rodon or Schwarber over Appel and Aiken. I mean, didn't the Aiken pick end up turning into Bregman? If so, I'm sure they'd rather have him than Rodon or Schwarber at the moment.

QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 09:30 PM) How did he not make the big club over Asche? He need regular playing time in the field and he isn't getting that with the Sox until Frazier or Melky is traded.

Nicky Delmonico is a f***ing beast.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 07:46 PM) I have confidence in them pursuing Ohtani. The Sox were very much in pursuit of Tanaka and were reported to be in the final mix, which means they had to have a $100M+ offer on the table. We can only land one or the other, so my point is you don't pass on Robert where you have a slight edge over the competition for a guy who would be forgoing a f***ton of money by coming to the states next season and who may have no interest in playing for your organization.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 03:08 PM) Maybe not. If they traded Frazier I would assume Delmonico would be recalled. The question then would be, who does the organization think has more of a future, Delmonico or Davidson. I am assuming options ultimately made the decision breaking camp. I would hope Delmonico, as I don't think Davidson ever becomes more than a platoon/bench piece due to his contact issues.

If you can land Robert, you do it. Definitely take advantage of the Cuban connection if possible. There should be zero confidence in our ability to land Otani.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 02:24 PM) The Dodgers have like 8 guys who are projected to up 2+ WAR/160 IP. They won't be interested in Quintana. Who are the guys and what are their projected WAR/innings?

As someone who is incredibly anti-Trump, I think Donald deserves some credit for this response. We can't sit by and simply let this f*** Assad commit war crimes on his own civilians. Hopefully there is more to come here, because Syria needs to be addressed one or the other.

Easily the weakest rotation of the four full season clubs, but shouldn't last that way for long. Several guys from Kannapolis could see quick promotions, including Hansen & Dunning. Throw in Luis Martinez once he comes off the DL and the Dash hopefully have an exciting pitching staff before year-end.

Pretty terrifying to think there are millions of Gregs in this country.

The reality is we can't keep ignoring North Korea, but Trump being the one to deal with them might be scarier than the actual threat itself.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 05:20 PM) I watched the first few innings to see everybody bat once at least and see Q get hammered. --Pathetic crowd as expected. That's all on management. -- This team is going to lose so many games it'll make our heads spin. How the hell is Hawk going to broadcast road games for gawd sakes? He's used to a team on paper that is a contender. -- I would assume this would be a great season for folks to get great seats on stubhub once the weather turns and spread out and enjoy the food of the Cell. There won't be any fans getting in your way in the aisles, etc., for years to come. Absolutely no reason to follow any of these players except Anderson. Have we ever had a worse starting rotation on paper? Ever a worse defense on paper? Blah team speed. Wow. I stick with 59-63 wins max. Maybe less. Who the hell are we going to beat with this pitching staff and this offense? And this defense? So we're a 59 to 63 win team as currently constructed, but with a solid DH & CF we'd be in the thick of things? I pray to god you're a troll and not the alternative, because otherwise I'd feel bad for s***ting on you constantly.

When is our private workout with him?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 12:30 PM) If I had tickets yesterday and go in with those, could I still turn them in for another game as well?7 I thought everyone who went yesterday automatically got into today's game for free plus got a ticket to another game of their choice.

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 03:15 AM) I wonder if he could do play by play. If so move, give Benetti his walking papers. Let Steve Stone do the pre and post game analysis. Perhaps a tandem of Scotty Pods play-by-play with a color commentator like Geoff Blum or AJ. You are quickly becoming the new Greg...

What a f***ing joke...apologize for doubting anyone.

Why is everyone so certain they won't get the game in?

QUOTE (ChrisLikesBaseball @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 04:25 PM) I was also at that game. Handled very poorly. You left?

QUOTE (bighurt574 @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 11:39 AM) I'm conflicted. I want to lose a bunch of games, but I also obviously want to see some vets do well to boost their trade value (e.g., Frazier, Robertson, Abreu) and see some young guys continue to get better. Hopefully the vets do well early, we can ship them out, and then really start the sucking.... There shouldn't be much to be conflicted about. We should all want Quintana, Robertson, Jones, Frazier, & Melky to do well in order to maximize their trade value. That's more important than getting a high pick IMO. Having said that, there is more than enough filler on this roster to help pile up the losses. We're going to lose a ton of games started by Gonzalez, Shields, Holland, & Covey, because our offense & defense is simply not good enough to offset their below average production. We can thank the fringe major leaguers on the roster like Davidson, Asche, May, Navarez, & Avi for that. If even one of those guys can develop into something for us that's a win, but the likely outcome is they will all suck contribute to a high pick. And let's not forget that a lot of the young, legit prospects we call up will struggle at first. Growing pains will also help the cause. So my advice for everyone is not to worry much about wins &nlosses as things will work themselves out and the ultimate result should be positive for the rebuild.

QUOTE (beautox @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 08:11 AM) once Frazier gets moved I would love to see 400 ml AB's for Delmonico I agree, although I think it's just as likely he replaces Melky as he does Frazier.

Hitter: Jameson Fisher Pitcher: Bernardo Flores AAAA Bonus: Nicky Delmonico

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 07:20 AM) Considering how much lead time they had, it should have been moved to Tuesday regardless. This will be another Sox fail. Well I'm sure a lot of people can't get Tueday off, at least I know my entire group can't. So for us, any chance of getting this game in today is preferred, even if it results in a last-minute postponement.

What's the percentage they get this game in tomorrow?

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 2, 2017 -> 07:15 AM) It sucks that it seems ScarJo may not be a box office draw on her own. She's likable and talented and seems like she could be a great female action star. 42% on RT for Ghost in the Shell. She deserves better. QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Apr 2, 2017 -> 09:46 AM) The trailer for GITS looked awful, and with Josh proclaiming it as great then I know I can pass For a film guy, it really is amazing how many terrible movies Josh calls great.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 1, 2017 -> 04:34 PM) There will be a lot of boos in the Cell this year. There are a lot more fans like me than those who love Sabes and rebuilds. Fans like me will be staying away in droves once the team opens 1-10 and loses at an unprecedented rate. What is proper fan decorum this year? Cheer when the other team scores? And just observe our guys for potential trades? Or cheer for the Sox all the way til the late innings and then root for the other team to rally and win? Somebody needs to explain proper fan decorum this year considering losses are good. Please stay away, your non-stop trolling is beyond tiresome...
