QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 12:01 AM) Not saying we are going to do that, just thinking what the Rockies will want to try and do (get a SS prospect) Rockies already have two solid prospects at shortstop. One is Rogers, their #1 pick this year, and he will be on the fast track.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 10:38 PM) Wow, that would be a shocker. Still hesitant about adding an NL bat in the middle of a pennant race, but you'd be crazy not to consider it. The problem is that Ramirez has actually looked pretty good the last 2-3 weeks. And that would surely mean they're trading half the minor league system. Most importantly, does Tulo really want to play for the Sox? Does he have the right to refuse a trade to the Sox...do we know the list of protected teams he can't be traded to? If traded to anyone, he gets a bunch of cash, a few million, cant remember how much.

Great thread, boys.

Hey, can't we all just get along?

Those two kids in the infield have picked up the team. Of course a few others have helped, too.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 10:32 PM) Not to be a downer in a White Sox Winner thread, but I really hope Danks never starts another game for the Chicago White Sox. Not to be a downer to Big Ed, but Danks will start a few more.

I'm not as down on Avi as most of you. Obviously, he is struggling. Probably pressing. Still hustling; he'll get hot anytime soon, I hope. Much better baseball player than Viciedo. As some guy in Green Bay said, "Relax."

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 07:51 PM) Except the concept of a loyal, faithful fan base that can wait out a 7 year rebuilding process (anywhere other than Cubs, Red Sox and Cardinals) is pretty much non-existent. This theory will be tested with the Tigers if they go into a prolonged period of wandering in the desert with bloated payrolls and overpaid, injury-prone veterans. (Still, before 2006, nobody would describe the Tigers' fanbase as particularly loyal.) Have the Blue Jays and Mariners fans been loyal during this last decade? What about Colorado? 46,800+ today vs the Little Red Machine.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 08:23 PM) I wouldn't exactly call us surging. Wait to see if we go into Boston and stay hot. This s*** could get mildly interesting. Crucial series.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 08:10 PM) Thanks, Chicago weather! Good!! Sox were playing lousy then; now everything looks better.

Got to go into Boston looking to take advantage of that sorry group of losers.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 03:20 PM) Who would you give his PAs to? Micah Johnson, as DH.

Rodon still a bit lucky. First two guys get on after Rodon was behind in the count, then he goes 3-0 on the third hitter and absolutely laid the next one in with nothing on it. Good thing the take sign was on.

Bare handed pickup by Alexi.

You just quoted yourself with no reply to your self quote.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jul 25, 2015 -> 02:27 PM) http://www.csnchicago.com/white-sox/white-...amardzija-trade Good article. Ravelo is going to be the one Sox fans regret losing, IMO. The kid's a hitter, much better than LaRoachclip.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 25, 2015 -> 08:18 PM) Conor is 2-2 tonight with a 2B and RBI Saladino got 3 hits tonight. Plus he can run a little bit, and play defense...

Good stuff, Ginger. Then, Sox should not trade Shark, right?

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 08:52 PM) Put Matt Cooper on a fast track til he fails, how about? Foolin' em pretty good at Kanny. Big time stats. I hope he gets a month at the next level.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 09:11 PM) Sox could still resign Jeff and go to work with Sale-Shark-Rodon-EJ-Danks with Fulmer potentially on the way. Has this ever been done before? Trading a player at July trade deadline and then signing same guy as FA in offseason?

Phillies much are worse. Maybe Boston, too. And the Sox had some really bad teams in 60's and 70's, much worse than today's club.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 01:00 AM) The Yankees would be s good trade partner, since they do have some high upside position players but they're further down the line in their development. How about this: Shark to the Yankees for Dermis Garcia (17yo 3B), Miguel Flames (17yo C) and Jorge Mateo (MIF 19yo). The center in this deal would Dermis Garcia, who was the Yankees top July 2nd signing in terms of price last year at $3M and he profiles as a guy who can hit 30 homers a year and he has elite bat speed. He was signed as a shortstop but he was listed at 6'3 and 200lbs and as he fills out expect his long term home to be on the corners, Kiley McDaniel mentions third, first and left being possibilities. He did put on some extra weight, which is to be expected for a LA prospect coming to America but expect that calm down as he enters a major league training program. His swing reminds me of Alex Rodriguez and the amount of potential he has is unreal, especially with the bat. None of these guys have hit the states yet, right? Part of me still thinks that Sox will sign Shark. I also wonder if they are reluctant to pay Shark a bunch since that would move his salary way past Sale's?? But then, WTF did they think when they traded for him last winter?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 09:01 PM) I mean, out of all the things we need, pitching isnt my first choice. Our offensive and defensive games are horrific. I honestly believe Sale/Q/Fulmer/Rodon is a good enough core in 2 years to be a serious contender. Q is headed South IMO. Just look at his record. He is a mediocre big league starter, which is why he won't get much in a trade. Rodon still walks too many, too often behind in the count.......
