Seriously. This team might as well be the Marlins or Astros.

f***ing really?

Maholm looks awful.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 04:10 PM) And considering how awful the Sox system is compared to the Marlins/Astros/Cubs, it would be nice to get that top draft pick as it also equates to more spending money on amateur players as well. Indeed.

Now put up some zeroes and strikeout some batters Jake. Thx.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 04:06 PM) You mean like Phegley, Beckham, Sale and Santiago? They are playing well and still losing...so lose away. Maybe it's me, but winning these games is secondary now to player development, etc. Yep. It's not like this team is all that different from the Marlins and Astros at this point. I'm rooting for the draft pick.

Peavy getting dinked around now. Fun stuff.

Doug Padilla ‏@ESPNChiSox 2m Phegley had a passed ball on a 3rd strike and Morel booted a ball. Would love to know what Peavy thinks of his defense right now.

Bah.

QUOTE (lilnicky @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 03:30 PM) Was rios booed in his 1st at bat? I really hope so,tired of his attitude... Nope.

Blah.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 03:10 PM) Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 4m Teams scouting #WhiteSox-#Braves today: TOR, BOS, SEA, NYY, BAL, AZ. Not all looking at Peavy. NYY on normal coverage. AZ not pursuing him. I'm not buying it re:Arizona I sure hope you are right. The White Sox match up quite well with AZ as trade partners.

Nice easy stroke. Keep hitting.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 01:51 PM) That's actually a great write-up. I'm shocked he didn't mention the 2015 option a team would have on Peavy, but the point remains the same. He's one of the top 2 starting pitchers in a thin pitching market and is more than just a rental. There should be a half dozen teams fighting over him the next 11 days. It's a player option. "$15M Player option for 2015 if he 1) has 400 IP in 2013-14, including 190 IP in 2014, and 2) is not on the disabled list at the end of the 2014 season."

Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN 3m Boston has a scout at the CWS game today, presumably to watch Peavy and follow up on some of the background work they have done.

Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN 31m Red Sox are doing background work on Jake Peavy, who pitches against AT today. Arizona, SF, Colorado also in the discussions.

South Side Sox ‏@SouthSideSox 35s Yup, Alex Rios was pulled for not running it out. Expand

QUOTE (PolishPrince34 @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 10:05 PM) If Phillies are the team. Biddle better be part of the package. I don't think he's been traded.

Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 43s Confirmed that #Pirates prospect Alen Hanson getting pulled is merely coincidence. #WhiteSox #hugwatch #AlexRios Expand

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 09:34 PM) Benching a player you are actively trying to trade is about as dumb as it gets. I'd agree. I stated that earlier. But we've seen plenty dumb with this organization in recent years.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 09:30 PM) Dan Hayes is pretty persistent in saying that its not the Pirates Yea. I'm going with the benching.

You are going to jinx it!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 09:20 PM) So if Hanson is the main guy in the trade, how would you feel about it? He was #39 on BA's top 50 midseason list Extremely pleased.

Doug Padilla ‏@ESPNChiSox 34s Alen Hanson, Pirates SS prospect, pulled from his game nearly the same time Rios pulled from this one. Coincidence? Stay tuned. Expand Already stated by some of us. But I sure hope this is linked.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 09:18 PM) Was rios pulled immediately after not running out the grounder? Nope.
