QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 13, 2013 -> 03:58 PM) Fly ball to the wall, bounced off of Viciedo's glove after he stood waiting for it for like 5 seconds. To add, he wasn't aware of his positioning. He kind of backed into the wall as he dropped it, despite having plenty of time to feel around for it.

oops

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 12, 2013 -> 08:29 PM) This is what happens when you can't make up your mind whether or not to rebuild or go for it. Pretty much.

lol

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Apr 12, 2013 -> 03:16 AM) Phegley with another HR today, now 3 on the season, batting over .300, finally healthy Could we have something there? I'd wager not. Still a quite small sample, and reports aren't kind regarding his catching skills.

The bitter AJ fan-club is pretty funny.

Did Alexei get some awful tribal tattoos in the offseason?

QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 10, 2013 -> 07:00 PM) ohhhhhhh hawk... sabermetrics are quite good. Ugh. What did he say? Probably a good thing I listen to opposing team's broadcasts.

Hawkins with another HR.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 8, 2013 -> 09:01 AM) Cool. Find out what else he did and get back to us. David Dahl ‏@ddahl21 21h In response to questions, I was sent to extended for missing a flight and for questions about attitude. I respect the Rockies decision and David Dahl ‏@ddahl21 21h And will continue to improve as a player, teammate, and as a person.

Another hanger to Alexei.

It would be nice if Nestor could regain his stock this year. Needs to get back to missing some bats.

Oh lord. That abomination of the White Sox introduction video made its way to Deadspin. Who thought that was a good idea?

Nice to see Flowers punish that mistake pitch. I fully expect him to be just as or even more valuable than AJ this season, at a fraction of the cost.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 1, 2013 -> 02:28 PM) Perez loves kicking our ass. Perez is legit.

Finally. Spring training went on far too long. Best day of the year.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 1, 2013 -> 08:13 AM) You mean like where, as an obviously pro-Flowers guy, I stated he is absolutely the biggest question mark on this team? In this very thread? There is concern there, and there's certainly potential for him to bust, but there's also potential for him to be an incredibly valuable player, moreso than Pierzynski ever was. Flowers absolutely destroyed minor league pitching and was very good in the second half last year and I'm hopeful that he finally grew acclimated to major league pitching and he will be able to be be a force offensively. I absolutely realize there's a chance he can bust, but at some point in time, you need to let Flowers sink or swim. There really is no better year than this year. And stop using the Phegley argument. He's terrible. Look at his minor league numbers beyond his batting average. He is a bad singles hitter (.260) who doesn't walk a lot, and there are far greater concerns regarding his long-term health than there are Flowers. I like Phegley and think he can make it in this league, but if he is starting for the White Sox at any point this year for an extended period of time, they're in trouble. Adding to this, Phegley is brutal defensively other than throwing out runners. I'm not sure why anyone would be optimistic about his future with the Sox.

People sure do get upset by PECOTA every year.

Awesome. Was more than time to move on.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 18, 2012 -> 07:23 PM) According to Phil Rogers, the Sox are offering AJ one year $4 million. They obviously don't particularly care if he comes back. Glad to hear. Time to move on.

With the value being acquired for starting pitching via trade, I really hope Quintana and/or Floyd are seriously being discussed with some teams.

Tigers upped their offer.

QUOTE (PolishPrince34 @ Dec 11, 2012 -> 09:52 PM) That's shocking!!! How they just gave up on Bauer? I think his stubbornness and not willing to change his pitching approach got him shipped out. Wish the White Sox would of jumped on that. I've heard similar things.

Love it for Cleveland.

Looks like Choo could be a Red soon. Kills the De Aza to Cinci speculation one would imagine.
