The Sir

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 07:21 PM) Sample size. Hmm. Why didn't Emilio Bonifacio get the benefit of sample size? He got 82 PAs but people wanted his head on a platter. What makes Tyler different?

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 07:18 PM) I don't think people take you seriously anymore I just don't understand why everybody loves him. His bat sucks. His glove makes him a fair late inning replacement, but the idea that he's actually going to share duties with Anderson is ridiculous.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 07:16 PM) Terrible post If Saladino didn't have a .615 career OPS, maybe you would have posted a more substantial rebuttal.

Sure, Steve Stone, Tyler Saladino will share SS duties with Tim Anderson in that he will give him a day off every other week or so. GTFO with that s***. Tyler sucks.

QUOTE (BamaDoc @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 07:46 PM) I don't think Anderson has had to make a play tonight. He hasn't. I've been waiting for it.

I'd like to see Tim in the field...

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 05:59 PM) the f*** did Stone just say about the ballpark in the sky? He said Tim would remember this moment until he left for the bigs ballpark in the sky. Sentimental and weird, all in one.

A success only by White Sox standards.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 5, 2016 -> 11:08 AM) I have seen more than enough of Coats goodbye. Are you serious?

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 5, 2016 -> 07:54 AM) Then we have no choice but to consider rebuilding. We don't have any potential middle-of-the-order hitters in our system outside of a couple guys in A/rookie ball. And free agency looks ugly the next two years. We better hope he rebounds, because there is really no way of replacing him and adding the other impact bat we're currently lacking. That wouldn't be the worst thing ever. We could get several AMAZING packages of prospects and young, established players for Sale, Quintana and Eaton.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 03:21 PM) I will give the Sox credit for trying. Johnson may be a rising star but he blew chunks every time we brought him up for a spot start. I'm sure Tatis will turn into a star like Trayce now, but that's a different topic. I'm sure Jim Leyland would love to try to win a lousy division title with a big three of Sale, Q and Shields with Rodon by all accounts a nice No. 4. Still have one hack at No. 5. But my point is, I may happen to think our everyday lineup is putrid, but we do have "name" everyday players in Melky, Abreu, Lawrie Jackson and a nice prospect in Eaton. My point is ... the blame now shifts to Robin more than the front office. Can't Robin win a measly division title with Sale, Q and Shields for gosh sakes?? p.s. He'll probably opt out after this season if he has any success. If he blows chunks he'll obviously stay. Tatis is 17. Nothing is a certainty with him at this point. Also, for the opt out to make sense, Shields needs to convince someone else to give him >$21 million the next two years. Not going to happen.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 03:15 PM) I don't even need your name in front of your posts to know their yours. Everyone's doomed. Everyone sucks. The Sox are the worst. Rebuild. Fail. Rinse. Repeat. Save us the scrolling, please. Saying the Padres didn't do too bad here (which I don't quite agree with) isn't doom and gloom, is it? Some people seem to forget that trades are a two way thing. Trayce's success doesn't ruin the Frazier trade and the speeding up the Padres' rebuild doesn't affect this trade for us. Hopefully Shields does well. Either way, f*** whatever happens in SD.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 02:50 PM) Ok I'll bump it for you later in the year. You'll be nowhere to be found though. Tatis should be a junior in high school. James Shields has been a slightly better version of Mark Buehrle for a decade. EJ blows and will only possibly have an MLB career by pitching in a ballpark that allowed Clayton Richard to succeed, briefly.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 02:44 PM) For the record, I think EJ will be better in SD than Shields was. I also think Shields won't be any better than Latos or Gonzalez. And I think it's dumb to give up a young guy like Tatis Jr for a fringe starter. This point is hilariously s***ty.

I wonder what Padres fans think of this. Probably loathe it. EJ is garbage. For such a weak farm, it seems like we do a great job of scrounging up trade pieces. Montas, Semien, Thompson (the top three that we've given up, IMO), Erwin, Wendelken, Ravelo, Phegley, Johnson, Johnson and Tatis net Shields, Lawrie, Frazier and Shark. Not bad, even if Shark sucked.

Nice debut AB for Coats. Like seeing a guy who, in the excitement of it all, can go up there and not even swing.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 01:49 PM) Rosenthal confirms. Sucks we had to give up Tatis Isn't he 17?

Was Shields supposed to start for SDP tomo? So, when will he slot in for us? Will he just replace Latos/Gonzalez?

Man, I'd really like Jay.

Abreu blows.

I'm excited about the new blood, but before we start talking about replacing Avi or even Sands, let's remember that this is a 26 y/o who has never played in the bigs and is currently benefitting from a super high BABIP at AAA. Don't be shocked if he goes 2-30 and disappears, Wilkins style.

AL CY- Chris Sale (wins might not matter, but Sale's record along with his still low ERA and how far he's pitching into games wins it for him) AL MVP- David Ortiz (the farewell tour of a legendary Red Sock with the way he's playing, it's not even close) AL ROY- Michael Fulmer (it's him or Mazara, no one else is close- so do you favor the OF with power and a .290s BA, or the SP with a low 3 ERA?) NL CY- Daniel Murphy (he's hitting .394- I'll ignore defense for the moment) NL MVP- Clayton Kershaw (K/BB is 21. Twenty f***ing one.) NL ROY- Aledmys Diaz (provides a so-far great bat at a premium position; if he cools off significantly, it goes to Matz)

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 12:42 PM) Maybe you guys are too old/not cool enough (sarcasm) to get this, but Todd Frazier has 17 home runs and 38 RBIs I want to know what this means...

So...interference. I'm watching on mute- I'm assuming chimpy is being kicked out? Good.

Interference or not, that dude is one stupid-looking motherf***er.
