When was the last time the Sox were not owned by Oakland. They did face good pitcher today.

I think that was worse than the Shields trade.

Nope. Not close to Ruth being sold to the Yankees. I just thought the trade was odd since the Sox needed a bat more than a pitcher.

Something I've seen for a long time is they could care less if a guy could catch a baseball. The sad thing is many of those players were really bad at it. Then they would take those players and try to convert them to a position of need. Remember they tried to make Viciedo play 3rd in the minors. The most memorable one from the KW era was Josh Field. Cora and Ozzie couldn't help him.

Because they believe that can fix those things and no matter the amount of failures they still believe,

Nope the dude needs to work on being a catcher. I'm one that isn't concerned about his bat as much as the position he was drafted. We have too many DH/1B.

He sucked. Coop couldn't fix him. I guess that was Kenny's idea to get some guys that could throw really hard.

If I had to vote to put up with his Abreu bashing vs, Greg's Abreu worship the latter wins hands down. LOL potential playoff run. That was Ventura first year and Jose wasn't there. It would have been nice to have someone whose best months were August and September. Pretty much the whole team was a bunch of mental midgets. They won 85 games. I'm sure there is a lot of pressure on players during the deadline for those who want to stay and those who want out.

He makes a perfect White Sox.

You should be use to this by now. Just blow if off. They can't blame him if they don't win the division and they can't blame him if they don't finish last. He's still having a productive year.

Could be the 2nd coming of Mike McDougal.

I took my eye off the game. I thought that was a down the line triple which Eloy would take his time. BTW that dude can run.

Keep Nova in.

I remember that owner so desperately wanted to win a World Series in his lifetime and acted accordingly. He fell short.

There is always that challenge of bringing a player up too soon. I do wonder if the coaching is better in the minors than what the Sox have. Robert's numbers no doubt say bring him up. If he played infield I bet he would be up. One thing the Sox are reluctant to do is send a player down unless they truly suck at baseball like Covey. One has to wonder would Eloy benefit from a week in Charlotte? I could see it as a confidence booster. Odd that he didn't do a rehab. With this organization I'm reluctant to crown guys like Vaughan as a star.

LOL, I can't even remember that far of them being in the hunt other than 2012. Who on that roster would you say was clutch in Aug? I really can't see a player thinking, "20 games back", now I will do my best. I do wonder in his case if his age is accurate. There were doubts about Jose Contreras age.

The difference between the bad White Sox and the in the playoff hunt White Sox is every August they would lay down to the bad teams.

Damn that Abreu for driving in runs. Soon we will have to say RBIs are meaningless.

I love it.

and they are not confident he can be a catcher? If so then it was a wasted pick.

Will it ever be possible to see DSL games?

Their outfield was pretty bad the last time I watched them. I guess their pitching staff can overcome that.

Well he had us fooled. Maybe more time away from Cooper will be better. At some point how long can you stick with bad before giving up?

Hopefully we will keep this nonsense out of Sox Talk,

I could not believe how long that took.
