What the hell is that lineup?

If all the guys are sticking, you'll be wanting to get them signed to extensions.

Miguel Amaya is about it for what you'd want in a deadline deal.

Yeah - the comp being thrown around was Jose Iglesias as a ceiling. That's an All-Star. Also, this would not be the Sox being cheap.

This so clearly a troll thread that I won't humor it by leaving it open. To end this, the record is 138 walks in 1991 for Frank Thomas. He finished 3rd in MVP voting. His 7.0 bWAR was second among hitters, behind Ripken (the MVP), who had 11.5 bWAR. Cecil Fielder finished above Frank because sabermetrics weren't popular yet.

Man, why did you quote him? Leave the Davidson drivel to one thread,

Ok, but if that happens you're never allowed to accuse Hahn of being an undercover Cubs spy since the 1880s ever again.

Those no hitter alerts from the At Bat app are murder.

Man, it's 3 games, but Yoan so far is looking nice.

I'm gonna need the Elias Sports Bureau to let me know if this is a first.

Man after the offseason we just had, let us have something. It's like getting an extra chicken nugget at McDonald's. Small victory.

That was a pretty change up.

This is what I'll never understand. Ventura came out the gate looking like a great manager. Then just everything went so far off the rails.

Because his hair and three pitching appearances don't justify a contract.

.067 batting average in the eight games. Damn. Now my homerness wants him to fall to the second round a la Steele Walker. But actually, yeah, take him out. I'm beginning to settle on Witt as the person I want at #3 the most unless Adley magically falls.

Moments like this make me hate the competitive balance round.

He wasn't great with Birmingham + unranked draftees jumping him He's currently assigned to AA. He's #29 on the Future Sox rankings, which in my (very biased) opinion is the best ranking you'll get for the White Sox farm system.

They laid out their reasoning. You can argue that State's Attorney shouldn't have political affiliations on the ballot, but the Tribune has shown a willingness to buck partisan trends. They have Kass as a columnist and endorsed Gary Johnson in 2016. That being said, considering how blown out of the water that election was, I doubt the Tribune's endorsement was the key deciding factor. Also, while I linked Zorn's column, this is something I truly wish there were less of and/or a sharper line drawn. Editorial =/= reporting. But people conflate the two and great reporters get dragged down due to trash columnists. You said "and it is really a shame that media no longer exists in the fashion in which it should to inform voters of this." There's plenty of articles going around right now showing exactly that.

Here's CNN with damning text messages Here's the Sun-Times with the same damning reporting Here's a Tribune column putting her on blast Here's Cox Media's national desk putting all the pieces on the table very clearly Here's NBC News reporting it ----------------------------- Don't confuse readers ignoring good reporting with the media not reporting it.

The problem is being spoiled with dudes like Matt Forte, then wanting another one.

Speaking as someone that has interest in the G-League and sees it as a viable tool moving forward for the NBA (shout out to Arci), you put way too much stock in the Windy City Bulls making the playoffs.

Battenfield and Foster are the fringiest of fringe guys, but they definitely still have prospect status.

Supposedly he hasn't spent any of his $54M contract, only his rookie money + sponsorship stuff.

At this point I'm beginning to wonder if SoxTalk almost willed it into being by accident

This is but one sample. When I went to school in Missouri I had to listen to Royals broadcasts whenever the Sox were in KC and the idiocy was astounding.
