QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 29, 2012 -> 10:38 PM) Nope. So then someone needs to get optioned off, I thought we were at 40 now. Pat Boyle just said a pitcher is coming.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 29, 2012 -> 01:06 PM) This was just filed on August 14, 2012. 2012-L-009166 Im wondering if deadspin just has guys searching the names of people in court records, because Danks hasnt even filed an appearance yet. He may not have even been served. No doubt about it. Computer systems are designed to search public documents for these very records. It happens in all areas from real estate to criminal issues. This just does not seem right about Danks, would not even allow a call to 9-1-1, I hope it is not true.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 29, 2012 -> 09:22 PM) So we are calling up an infielder and Josh Phegley? Is Phegley on the 40-man roster?

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 28, 2012 -> 04:52 PM) Marcus Stroman, 1st rounder of the Blue Jays, suspended 50 games. How many mock drafts had the Sox taking Stroman, there was a reason the little guy could throw so hard-the juice!

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Aug 26, 2012 -> 07:21 PM) They still waiting this out???? WTF Agreed, Cubs game was called.....Flowers might have won us at least 3 games this year.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 24, 2012 -> 10:40 PM) Well, did Dayan die? DH, rotation of four outfielders, good point.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 24, 2012 -> 08:51 PM) Walker looks like he might have a better shot than Mitchell at this point. But there's always possibility the light just goes on like it seemingly has with Thompson in the 2nd half this year. The problem with Keenyn is that you can only have one guy like that on your roster...need power to win games at USCF. Even DeAza has a lot of pop for a leadoff guy, Wise, too. Dare to dream, after tonight's game, dare to dream. Great point on Walker, replace Walker with Mitchell. Remember our Birmingham outfield of the future in 2005, Owens, Sweeney, and Young.

A Mitchell, Thompson, Hawkins outfield in 2014 would be very solid.

KC just has the Sox number, we just have to be glad Detroit did not have a great weekend as well.

Did Konerko get his ring for his 400th homer with the Sox or 400th homer overall, or both?

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 17, 2012 -> 08:21 PM) That 2011 draft has been very good so far. Johnson & Snodgress are probably our best RH & LH pitching prospects. Walker has been unbelievable given how raw he was when drafted. All three of those guys are top 10 prospects IMO. You also have Semien and Smith, not great prospects by any means, but both have a chance to become major leaguers. Then there is Soptic, who is a big-time project, but could be an impact reliever if he ever puts it together. On top of that, we were able to turn Walters and Devenski into a major league reliever. Plus our 4th round pick from that draft has barely pitched, so he could be another wildcard if he ever comes back healthy. Given that we didn't even have a true 1st round pick in 2011, I couldn't be much happier with I've seen so far. Who was the 4th round pick that year?

Who is DFA'd tomorrow, Olmedo or O-Hud?

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Aug 15, 2012 -> 09:19 PM) I hope it's not another Pena scenario. I'm surprised Septimo is still up and not Santiago.

16 years old and throws 91, I'll take that chance. Nice signing.

This Wise/Danks debate is interesting, isn't Danks a much better defensive player and natural center fielder. That is why I would have kept him over Wise.

Jordan Danks back to minors.......when Wise started over him today, you knew this was going to happen http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0,3563769.story

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 10, 2012 -> 10:37 PM) Did you see Brent Morel at all? No sign of him at all. Sorry for the delayed response as my iPad was out of juice. Omogrosso was bad, gave up all his hits on breaking balls. They had designs of new stadium and it looks cool.

I am at game in Charlotte tonight. Johnson had a mammoth bomb and great hustle play running to first to keep big inning alive. Hope he gets call.

QUOTE (PolishPrince34 @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 06:56 AM) Shocking how much the Cubs got for Maholm and Johnson. Vizcanio has big potential. I think his best days though are in the bullpen. Agreed, for Maholm, maybe for Dempster but not those two.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 11:03 AM) Blanton is not an upgrade over Gavin Floyd and some of our other starters. As a result, I'm not about to trade for him. I say that because I don't think his stuff translates that well in the AL. Personally, I'd love to upgrade in the middle infield (in a major impact move). But I don't know anyone out there who really fits the bill and/or would be a good get. Blanton would also come full circle with KW if acquired. He is the guy that Beane openly mocks KW for not drafting in Moneyball.

No chance of this Pence trade, I would hate it, where would he play anyway?

Gonzalez just posted that there will be a roster move before Monday's game, anyone have a guess?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 03:02 PM) I was at a game where it was 100 degrees at 10pm down there. The Heat is brutal. And yes, heat gets to be capitalized when we are talking about Dallas in basically August. Agreed, I was there for a Rockies/Rangers game on a Sunday night in late June, it was brutal even at 9 p.m. I was told they NEVER play day games.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 11:47 PM) Stan Bowman...take note, this is how you run a franchise. Amen, on this. We can debate in another forum, this is right on. Great post.

I would not start Liriano against the Twins on Monday.
