QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Aug 18, 2017 -> 11:34 AM) So now there's a call to "blow up" Mt Rushmore, rename Balbo Dr. and a Lincoln (!!!) statue was vandalized. Hasn't even been a week and the left has taken almost universal public sympathy and ruined it by going insane with nonsense. Trump won Charlottesville. Bannon was right. Its crazy how the opposition cannot get out of its own way to get the guy out of office. Lincoln was in Chicago, but let's see who did it first. Otherwise - sources? Because the same amount of lunacy on the right actually catches fire and does s*** like run-over people.

Had no idea Matt Bush got into the bigs finally.

QUOTE (ron883 @ Aug 17, 2017 -> 08:45 PM) Moncada hr!! I think somebody should eat crow about a certain player that he judged too harshly. Well played Ron. Well played.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 17, 2017 -> 10:44 PM) Link For those who missed it, this description misses some of the details. Herm and Renteria went out to speak to Lopez, Lopez said he was fine, Abreu stayed on the mound with Lopez after Herm and Renteria left, Abreu asked Lopez what was really going on, Lopez told Abreu something was bothering him, and Abreu called Herm and Renteria back to the mound and said pull him. Went back and watched and came away with two things... 1) That was weeeeird. 2) Abreu is a leader.

But nah let's call up Eloy and contend next year

QUOTE (Tony @ Aug 17, 2017 -> 09:51 AM) Why is the removal of statues considered changing history? Trump realizes those people still exist in history if their monument is removed, right? In things called...books? We should have been mad at Iraqis for tearing down the Saddam statue. Very sad.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Aug 17, 2017 -> 01:22 AM) LOL No, it's a request to have some semblance of competence on this team. There is no one - not one bullpen pitcher - who should be on a major league roster. Not one. Do you think a game like this and loss after loss helps development? And Petricka - good lord, he's never been any good at all. You say this, but all I hear is pining for Tyler f***ing Clippard.

QUOTE (TomPickle @ Aug 17, 2017 -> 10:31 AM) Updated top 100: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/summer-top-100-prospects/ 1. Yoan Moncada, 2B, Chicago White Sox 4. Eloy Jimenez, OF, Chicago White Sox 9. Michael Kopech, RHP, Chicago White Sox 35. Lucas Giolito, RHP, Chicago White Sox 37. Luis Robert, OF, Chicago White Sox 38. Reynaldo Lopez, RHP, Chicago White Sox 99. Blake Rutherford, OF, Chicago White Sox Cease listed as an honorable mention, but not Hansen. Time to cue the meltdown

Lord.

Gotta love Delmonico's homer followed by Rowand talking about him working to become a better OF.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 09:32 PM) $1 million is nothing in baseball terms. While nothing special, he was the only guy on the roster who showed any competence in the pen - a pen that has to support a starting staff that has trouble finishing the 6th inning. So why give him up for a pittance? Do they have to have THE number 1 pick to make a good pick? Dude. This is the epitome of hero worship.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 12:12 PM) IMO they were terrible before that. When you have a MVP leading his team to the ECF, you can't expect to win with Keith Bogans in your starting lineup. I still believe that an adequate starting shooting guard was all that team needed, and management failed to get one both in the offseason and at the trade deadline. To be fair it was supposed to be Korver/Brewer, but Thibs loved Bogans.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 11:32 AM) I don't follow the Bulls as much as most of you, I could be wrong. I just see the 2009-2016 White Sox as just a much longer period of wasted time and prime talent. In a sport where simply making the playoffs makes you a title contender, they competed for a playoff spot maybe once. The Bulls screwed up all the D-Rose stuff, but when he was healthy they were much closer to winning the Sox ever were. It was after Rose's injuries that they just went full on terrible. And as good as Hahn is at maximizing asset return, GarPax is the exact opposite.

But new stadium, right now!

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 08:28 AM) Welcome to the most bipolar thread in Soxtalk history. No prospects ever struggle.

I'm enjoying Rowand-Benetti

It's a shame Ozzie burned bridges, because him having a future lineup with Anderson, Moncada, Eloy, Robert, Rutherford, etc. would be really fun.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 10:26 PM) Haven't seen anybody post that Jimenez and Collins got promoted to Birmingham today.....but they did. Future Sox board.

So Trump is considering pardoning Joe Arpaio.

Is Soto...alive?

Dylan Covfefe

When a BLM person walks into a white church and shoots it up or drives over a crowd of white supremacists, then we can talk many/both sides. Until then? Nah

I'm a fan of the fact that we seem to be stockpiling bullpen prospects, because lord knows we'll need good relievers.

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Aug 14, 2017 -> 09:04 AM) 1) Clippard was just moved to Houston. Another salary dump. The recent trades with KC, Yankees and Tampa Bay were nothing but salary dumps. The team traded Dan Jennings to Tampa bay for absolutely nothing. We now have Bummer as our only lefty in the bullpen. And he can't get anybody out. 2) I read yesterday that the White Sox are contemplating moving Avi Garcia and Abreu this off season. I have no doubt in my mind that both of them will be moved for prospects. More salary dumps. The team now has the worse pitching staff in MLB. Without Avi Garcia and Abreu we will have the worse offense in MLB And the lowest payroll in MLB. Except none of those were salary dumps.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 9, 2017 -> 12:29 PM) Cause he is still owed $157 million through age 40 for the next 6 seasons. He is aging well so far, but it would be risky to take that deal on. His season is right now better than his MVP season. That's absurd. He'll make for a fun HOF argument.
