Man if Melky had been alive all year he could have carried us early.

I'd like to hear the explanation on the call. Would be f***ing hilarious if the ruling was since Mookie took the ball out of the park before an out was called that he literally gave Abreu the homer.

The only way I'd go for cargo is if the package is centered around Avi

I give them Avi Garcia and Matt davidson for cargo and 10mil.

Ramirez and shark for tulo?

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 08:49 PM) Well, if we were to attempt to acquire either guy, it'd probably mean we are going for it, which also probably means we aren't dealing a guy like Sale or Rodon. I have every amount of faith in KW to trade away a talent like Rodon is some effort to get a bat solely based on a 5 game spree from a sub .500 team.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 08:45 PM) It's me connecting the dots. I know for a fact KW is itching. On rundown today Phil Rogers mentioned COL and CWS as a match for maybe Tulo or CarGo and threw out Tim andersons name. Now all the Q talk is coming out after we won. Wonder if we could find a way to acquire Tulo and Puig without losing Sale/Rodon

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 08:39 PM) Except what need do they have for Danks, LaRoche or an outfielder? They've got money. If I'm Hahn I'm asking for Puig + either a prospect or you take LaRoche. Then we stick Avi's ass at DH and use some of the LaRoche savings to try and resign Shark

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 08:34 PM) My ideal situation is trading Q and M. Johnson for Puig, and then extending Samardzija If I'm doing Q for Puig straight up I'd try to find a way to dump some dead weight instead of a decent prospect. Maybe I'm overvaluing Q but Puig's value has got to be pretty low (for him at least) right now,

And here comes Duke to ruin the day!

I really hope we don't have to deal with Garcia for more than next year.

Rodon dealing right now

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 07:50 AM) Eaton sore shoulder. Should be back Monday. https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/625328887963217920 Was wondering why they would sit him instead of Avisuck

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 02:02 PM) I don't know which pisses me off more, the losses or management's decision to stay with this group of players. I mean good lord, they pulled Micah quick enough. And yet that's essentially been it. Why is Bonafacio even on this team? Micah's batting line for his time up here would be one of the best on the team right now too.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 12:45 PM) You know that means we have to score 4 runs in 6 innings right? I think we score a good bit tonight.

Has to be a combination of our great pitchers and horrible hitters.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 11:03 AM) Nope. If Soto PH for the DH, and moved to C, the pitcher hits. That's pretty interesting actually, cool info!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 10:53 AM) Someone like Kendrys Morales would have been a much better fit. He's having a good year against both LHP and RHP. Honestly I was happy with the LaRoche signing but not platooning him is a crime.

I'm gonna say Danks gives a 6inning/3ER performance, picks up the W and only gives up 1 homer.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2015 -> 11:16 AM) I would be content with that as well. He has terrible mechanics at the plate, and when you add the bad pitch recognition, you have the ingredients for a mediocre hitter. If we could find a taker for LaRoche, find a good defensive RF and let Melky/Avi split LF and DH I feel like he could be useful. The s***ty at bats combined with the defensive liability really screws him for us in my opinion. He definitely could have some decent power if he could stop swinging at everything a foot off the plate.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 06:54 PM) Could I suggest adding some other teams players? Could I interest you in a Miguel Cabera fandom? If I could muster it and take one for the team I'd just name the Twins my favorite team. Unfortunately I don't think I've ever hated any team more ever.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jul 1, 2015 -> 05:34 PM) Another Danks hater. John Danks was at one point my favorite player on the Sox... then it was Gordon Beckham... I'm sticking to utility players from now on.

Anyone hear what Nightingale had to say? I'm pretty sure the flavor of this July is going to be a bunch of reporters talking about what it takes to get Chris Sale and then us trading Shark and dumping Alexei/Boni/Becks somewhere.

The fact that Sale is 16 over .500 with the teams he has been on is pretty impressive in itself and I don't really care about wins. The man is seriously only thing that gives me hope for the upcoming years.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 24, 2015 -> 11:09 AM) I'm fine with giving the Cardinals a free win Haha. Honestly at this point we can't win with Sale on the mound anyway so we might as well give him a little break.
