QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jun 19, 2015 -> 07:42 PM) Could be. Rumor has it that he has recently been battling a nasty flee infection and is the reason for his slump. what's a flee infection?

Will Robin bench Eaton or Alexi for last night's goof up in short center? Or both?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 19, 2015 -> 01:20 AM) Hey you ain't seen nothing yet. Seventh pick today. This team may lose between 100-105 games. That should be good for the first pick or second. Plus the #9 pick if Fulmer says NO to Sox below-slot offer.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 16, 2015 -> 08:17 PM) Phegley had no future with the organization, neither did Ravelo because of Abreu and LaRoche. Only real value they gave up in my opinion is Semien and he has 21 errors in 63 games. Sox had and still might have intentions of extending Shark. Ravelo had a future here. He can hit. Sure, he was ticketed for AAA in 2015, but still had a future here. Too bad he got hurt.

Terrible throw by Eaton, but not his worst of the year.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 15, 2015 -> 08:17 PM) Time to f***ing fire Robin. DFA Noesi and Danks. Bring up the young guns; it can't be any worse than this. Bud Black got fired today. Maybe Robin is next.

If Fulmer is watching this game vs Pirates, he might not want to sign at any price.

Welcome back, Robin.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jun 15, 2015 -> 07:36 PM) Also figure for all this talk of unloading veterans, it's useless unless we're dealing from a position of strength or dumping salary. We should trade Quintana, but I'm not confident with what they'll receive (judging by past trades) and not entirely sure how the trade market is looking for SP. I'd say having another Top 5 draft pick is worth more to us than anything we'd receive via trade. We've rarely been a team to sell high and reap the bebefits for how many years?

What was Brannen's injury?

Another nice game by Danny Hayes.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 13, 2015 -> 11:10 PM) http://www.mlbdailydish.com/2015/6/4/87289...-power-rankings Too bad Ramirez has decreasing demand with all the teams currently looking for help there. Trading LaRoche so quickly would be an admission of overreach by the front office. I had to laugh when reading that article. Calling Gordon Beckham a "hot commodity" defies intelligent thought.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 13, 2015 -> 06:47 PM) Against Daniel Norris tonight. Maybe they can promote Micah and release Bonifacio while keeping Sanchez as late inning defensive guy Good idea. But then, any idea that includes releasing Bonifacio has merit.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 14, 2015 -> 05:24 AM) i just saw something on Winston Salem box score. Toby Thomas, is playing 3b. according to what i was able to read on him, he is a 1b and started at 1b. i wonder when they moved him? i wonder how he is doing defensively? i see he can hit, but all the little things that make a 3b good, does he have that? no.

Out of the 10 players still unsigned (excluding Fulmer) is there one who is particularly promising?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 13, 2015 -> 03:37 PM) I think you are the most superstitious scientist I have ever met. Water seeks its own level.

Rookie League teams should be starting in a couple of weeks. Just wondering who is shaping up to be on these rosters. Has anyone heard anything on the catcher(Alfaro) we signed out of Colombia last summer? He is on the White Sox Top Prospect list. Then there is Micker Adolfo, too.

That didn't take long.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 12, 2015 -> 08:18 PM) Eaton has gone from a top quartile to borderline bottom quartile CF. How??? Never a top quartile IMO, but he is not a very good major league player right now. He is very lucky he got the contract extension from RH.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jun 12, 2015 -> 02:05 PM) Speaking of Tank...what's he up to? I know he's a FA, but a little surprised no one has picked him up or he hadn't gone to Japan or something. Oakland got him. Wonder what he weighs??

How did Fulmer do last year at Vanderbilt? I know they won the NCAA in 2014.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jun 11, 2015 -> 08:13 AM) Isn't it possible he could waive that clause to help a trade happen? That way he can get more playing time and go to a team with other Cuban born players. MLBPA discourages that sort of thing.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 10:54 PM) I think Shuck has earned some more playing time as well. Here's a plan: DFA Boni (someone will claim him and maybe more than one, work out a trade pickup 500k whatever, he's not being used properly and he sucks anyways) Call up Micah Micah and Sanchez form a semi strict platoon and Sanchez is the primary backup at SS instead of Beckham. Shuck and Soto now start 2-3 times a week. ___________ This team really needs to squeeze every damn bit of WAR they can out of this pile of suck they have at 2B and C. Who cares about development right now make the damn 2nd wildcard. I don't think any team will claim Boni.

Nice catch by Avi. Don't understand why most folks here don't like his defense.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 07:37 AM) I may be underestimating the value of Shark as a short term rental. I just read about the young phenom, Rodriquez, Boston brought up. In his first 3 starts he has a .44 ERA and 21 SO in 20 innings. Boston got him at trade deadline for Anrew Miller. Now granted Miller was a lefty closer but Baltimore still only go the 3 months out of him. Rodriquez was Baltimore's 3rd highest prospect. So maybe Shark brings some team's top 5 prospect. While they bragging about the trade in Boston, in Baltimore there is criticism.
