QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 3, 2016 -> 10:51 AM) We need to find room for Ranaudo in the rotation for the rest of the season. The odds of him being anything are slim but I'd like to give him a 2 month try out and see what he's got in that short sample size. Should have shipped out Shields for any type of prospect, because I'd have more faith in Ranaudo for next season.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Aug 2, 2016 -> 04:10 PM) It's still disingenuous in either regard. DCU printing money -- as in profits -- just not as much as their greedy asses wanted or estimated. That's like saying Google (DCU in this instance) isn't successful because it doesn't make as much money as Apple (Marvel in this instance). They're both very successful, one just more so. A film with the trinity at the height of the super hero craze should have been knocking on the door of two billion. There's a reason so much control is now out of Snyder's hands.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Aug 2, 2016 -> 02:55 PM) What's your definition of "bonafide"?? This is his 8th season in the major leagues. Clearly he's enough of a major leaguer to last this long. And Carlos Rodon should be added to that list as well, actually. He's been just fine so far as a 23 year old major leaguer. And Anderson. Fulmer has also (been rushed) reached the big leagues.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Aug 2, 2016 -> 02:52 PM) a .678 career OPS is a bonafide major league talent? huh. Compared to most picks, yes.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Aug 2, 2016 -> 02:44 PM) Gordon Beckham. And besides, was Nick Hostetler running those drafts? Don't pretend nothing has changed in the draft room. I know I've said it a couple times but now that we've seen two drafts from Hostetler and seeing some of Paddy's signings come over, those two can stay for now. Buddy Bell on the other hand needs to get the hell out.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Aug 2, 2016 -> 01:25 PM) It IS successful. You and others can keep crowing that it's not, but it is. Not successful to the standards WB held it.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Aug 2, 2016 -> 01:23 PM) No, they don't. I don't want DC being another Marvel. As of late, I've disliked every Marvel film that's come out. I like the darker tone of DC movies and I hope they stay the course. These are the same critics that gave that piece of s*** Ghostbusters a near 80%. f*** Rotten Tomatoes. So you don't want DC being...successful? The dark tone of Batman vs. Superman was dreadful. Wonder Woman and Justice League trailers looked like they'll have dark tones, but not so dark that you just get depressed watching it.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Aug 2, 2016 -> 11:31 AM) ESPECIALLY if that other Chicago team goes on a Yankees like run and takes over the city. What young kid is going to want to be a White Sox fan? The Cubs have no effect on the White Sox

Since Q and Sale are still here, might as well fantasize of a Sale-Q-Rodon-Fulmer-Hansen rotation down the road. All getting absolute no run support.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Aug 2, 2016 -> 12:02 AM) I thought using the Muslim family with the slain soldier for political gain was pretty low. Trump responded like an idiot but the fact that the media accepted that as a headline story was just low. Just felt dirty in general and I don't think that does honor to the dead. I know everybody from both parties loves to "bring out the victims to show the human side"...just don't like it ever. Just my take I mean, the mother wrote an Op-ed for the Washington Post, which has basically been at war with Trump. They don't want this to fall to the side.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 11:06 PM) From Whitesoxdave FWIW I was told the #WhiteSox turned down a Benintendi, Kopech, Johnson/Ball, and PTBNL package for Quintana from #RedSox 0_o

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 09:28 PM) Be careful mods. If this board becomes like "the other place" used to be, people will just go right back to "the other place" New Jersey?

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 08:35 PM) Oh, so she's not crazy just open to the crazy vote? Yup.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 06:04 PM) Also your follow-up on how she is not anti-vaxx doesn't really seem to be holding up. But also her fleshed out response there about how we shouldn't trust government agencies like the CDC and others because they are just Big Business shills is so maddening. Oh, and your platform is to increase reach of gov't that we can't trust because it is controlled by elites? Makes sense. Good platform. She's not anti-vax, but she leaves the door open to appeal to anti-vaxxers. And yeah, her platform is "boo establishment", hence why she was pro-Brexit.

FYI - FutureSox probably wouldn't rank Tilson #5

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 05:20 PM) The Sox have gotten better at scouting young talent, their problem is scouting at the ML level Yeah, Paddy and Hostetler's developments will take time. It's the MLB stuff that's floundering.

Hoping all the negative vibes from SoxTalk pushes his potential to negatives, so it ends up going into positive range. Kinda like Civilization with Gandhi and aggression.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 04:27 PM) Only thing to do...get Uribe and reel off a 40-17. f*** yeah.

The only way this gets dumber is if they rope off a 25-5 streak or some s***, then fall right back.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 04:10 PM) Levine says confirmed No moves for the Sox s*** that means they traded everyone. Man, even Levine jokes aren't fun...

Kenny Ducey @KennyDucey Brian Cashman could trade applesauce for a package of gushers, pringles and lunchables

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 03:40 PM) Yeah, I really don't think they are becoming more of "sure" things today vs. the future. Maybe a little bit, but 2012 isn't that long ago and there is a pretty high bust rate on that list. Marginal improvements are being made, not massive.

Fire everyone except Hostetler if no moves are made.

God damnit Rick.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 03:33 PM) They're standing their ground, but it sounds like these teams want them to cave. Sale is just too valuable to trade, apparently. This so very White Sox. They've got probably the most valuable single trade asset ever on the market and one that's not far behind. And they can't get anyone to pay up.
