Seems like there are more intriguing prospects in the low minors than most years.

Too bad we could not have traded him for Rangel Ravelo.

Matt Cooper did it again for Kanny. He had a great July: 12 innings, 6 hits, 23 K's.

Perez might have leap-frogged over Alfaro, who, for some reason is on the Sox Top 30 list.

QUOTE (LDF @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 07:29 AM) you know, i agree. i can almost sense that the debate was raging and someone had to make a call. that is the owners. but not trading is not everything, the non decision was a great lost of opportunity and may have hurt the rebuilding. no question there.

I'm not for sending him down, but Rodon was lousy last night. Hawk tried to make excuses because of a missed called strike three, but I'm not buying it. His control/command/location is awful.

Announced attendance was just a little over 30,000. I thought it would be more. 30,359.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 07:47 PM) 100% wrong. The fact that you referenced the White Flag trade is exactly why they didn't trade Jeff Samardjiza. Sox fans are STILL bringing that up after almost 20 years. Correct. The media killed the Sox after that trade. Management was intimidated. Ironically, they wanted to trade Robin, too, but backed off, and he went the free agent route after that season.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 01:48 PM) My interview with Billy: http://www.whitesoxinteractive.com/rwas/in...=11&id=1546 Mark Excellent. Thanks.

He came to Sox in 1949 for an obscure catcher named Aaron Robinson. Perhaps the greatest Sox trade ever. His big disappointment was not playing in the 1959 World Series; never understood Al Lopez' logic on that one. He did appear in 1962 WS with Giants. Class act.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 01:03 AM) Today is the 5 year anniversary of the Sox inexplicably throwing in Holmberg on the Hudson-Edwin Jackson deal. I know this because Facebook "reminded" me of how outraged I was over the deal at the time. I was with you.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 03:36 PM) Red Sox fans are responding to that tweet saying "Pablo Sandoval for the Quintana guy from last night!" I would not trade Beckham for Sandoval.

Get him outta there.

Trade Hahn/Kenny for Drombowski.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 11:00 PM) i tried to look him up in the T30 for the sox prospect in miilb. is he a rated prospect?? No, but he probably should be, since Sox have a couple top rated prospects hitting below .200. Clark has to be getting someone's attention. Another guy who has pitched really well is Zach Phillips at Charlotte.

Webb was very lucky tonight.

Why won't they take Q out of there?

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 02:19 PM) Davidson, Montas, Danish, and Anderson for Longoria Longoria having sub-par season. There are two recent articles in FL papers about him: "What's wrong with Longoria" He says he doesn't know but it feels like he has never played before. Unquote.

Castro leads the majors in calories expended via gum chewing. Can't stand him.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 03:06 PM) If anyone is wondering, I have a Pages document on my laptop of every single move during Rick Hahn's tenure as GM of the Sox. Can you tell me his future moves?

QUOTE (Lemon_44 @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 05:34 AM) Adams may be the top pitching prospect in the system. He's not going to be used in a trade for Cargo. Tyler Danish is a more likely, and reasonable, price to pay. Danish, Thompson, and a low level guy would be a good offer. Also, I don't get why people are so hot to trade a 24 year old Avisail Garcia who is completing his first full year in MLB. He's the kind of player you keep. You're probably right. I'm not really sure who Sox value more, Adams or Danish. It might not take either one. Maybe one or two lower ranked pitching prospects at either Kanny or W-S would do it. Again, Rockies want salary relief and young pitching prospects.

Cargo could be the bargain of the year, right now. Rockies only interested in pitching and salary relief. One solid prospect would/could do it IMO. Face it, Adams might have more value now than next year at this time. Stick Cargo anywhere in the outfield and it is a better team. Avi can DH. Put LaRoach on the DL, whatever. And keep Shark.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 05:38 PM) Is Cargo a plus defender? It would be nice to improve the D and the bat at the same time so I think I'm more into what somebody else said: the other Cargo YES

If LaRoachclip has a hand injury, put him on the DL.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 12:43 PM) Micah and Spencer, they pay $15 million. That's too much. Rockies don't need Micah. Their GM said today that no one is beating down their door for Cargo. I bet they would take just Adams for him. Tough call.
