QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 9, 2015 -> 10:42 PM) I would let Davidson get his at bats or the other minor leaguers ready for a trial like Thompson. Even Soto or Kottaris. Anybody. After the All Star Break, yes.

A couple of players at Great Falls, Jarvis and Cruz, Could be promoted to Kanny.

Who starts at short, Gordo or Alexi?

QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Jul 9, 2015 -> 12:03 PM) Aside from dumping Danks regardless of record and dumping Soto if we're complete s***, the only move I'd consider is sending Shark to NYY for C Gary Sanchez and 3B Eric Jagielo, maybe a low level P too, if we don't get Sanchez AND Jagielo, no deal, they both can contribute next year if we rush them, Sanchez is a franchise C while Jagielo is a solid 3B with some pop and hits for a high AVG. I'd love to see a a staring 8+DH of Sanchez, Abreu, Johnson, Jagielo, Ramirez, Melky, Eaton, Avi, and LaSuck ASAP, then a long term rotation of Sale, Rodon, Q, Johnson, and Fulmer and a pen' with Putnam, Petricka, Jennings, Duke, Jones, and Robertson Jon, I don't see what is so special about those two Yankee prospects, considering how valuable Shark should be to any contender. Just going by stats, of course.

Winning the series vs Toronto plus Shark's great game, certainly increases the interest in this three game series. No DH, so I wonder what the Cubs' plan for Schwarber is? Can't wait.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 10:48 PM) That 3-4-5 of Adolfo, Zavala, and Zangari in the AZL has my interest piqued Same here. Zangari had slow start, up to .250 now with some power. Just a high school kid 2 months ago.

Cards now have Dan Johnson at first.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 07:48 PM) A quick hook would've made sense after getting 17 of 18 innings from the starters the last two nights, but that's our Robin. Kind of a drop off with Sale, Q, Shark,,,, then Danks.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 07:38 PM) Avi seriously sucks I have often defended Avi, but he looked lost on that play.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 04:58 PM) Title makes no sense.. drugs of abuse? Or abuse of drugs? Yogi wrote it.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 04:12 PM) I was wrong. So was I.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 06:50 PM) Danks falling violently off the mound, it's hurting his command Right. And yet, according to one of our minor league pitching coaches, it is the White Sox philosophy to not fall away from the mound after pitching. Danks is a special case. I realize he is untradeable, but his situation should be resolved -- put him in the bullpen.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 06:48 AM) Once they trade Shark and possible few other bench guys, I think he will be back up. Deals I think will/could happen: Shark for prospect(s); replaced in rotation by Johnson. Soto traded for PTBNL; replaced by Kottaras (or prospect MLB level C potentially acquired in Shark deal) Bonifacio for PTBNL or cash; replaced by Johnson (Sanchez moves to bench or sent down in favor of more Versatile L. Garcia) Beckham for PTBNL; replaced by Davidson And, this has bee a good year for Leury Garcia. I would move him right now for Bonifacio.

I share everyone's frustration with the second base situation, but I feel that sending Micah down helped him and he will be a better player next year for it.

I have the feeling Q would like to pitch against the White Sox.

That was a good read. I wish I knew more about how he changed Spencer Adams' mechanics and how Adams resisted the changes. I hope he's right. Maybe pitching coaches elsewhere would also be good interviews.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jul 7, 2015 -> 01:16 PM) Especially when you are the most successful executive the team has ever had. You're forgetting Frank Lane. All he did was trade for Pierce, Fox, Minoso, Lollar, and a bunch more, plus he signed Aparicio.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jul 6, 2015 -> 10:12 AM) I'd like a package headlined by Hoffman or Pentecost and maybe also Devon Travis. Have either Hoffman or Pentecost played yet?

Looks like Beckham is winning that race. Both Alexi and Flowers have gotten a few hits recently; Gordo down to .203.

Is Bradley an upgrade over Eaton?

QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Jul 5, 2015 -> 12:11 AM) Hawkins hit his 7th home run on the season and first since May 21. He's hanging in there. I'm sure he is ticketed for AAA in 2016.

And everyone else on this board thinks Avi can't play defense!!!

QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Jul 3, 2015 -> 09:02 PM) Antonio Rodriguez- 2-4, 2B, HR Jarvis 1-3, HR, HBP Jarvis starting the season on fire. Another HR for Kottaras today. That's 6 in his last 7. Jarvis is probably a candidate to get moved up soon. Who else?

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 3, 2015 -> 03:00 PM) Does anyone notice anything interesting about this? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CJBJyazVAAAqUAF.jpg:large Future ROY and future Exec of the Year?

If Bosox are so concerned with getting "cost-controlled" players, why on earth did they sign their Panda Bear/third baseman to that outlandish contract?
