Nice job Jake

I'm not worried about the Royals and Cueto. I dont think they'll be able to resign him.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 02:19 PM) Well you mentioned the guy on the bench should play more. Not much we can do with the catching situation from a organizational standpoint for this year at this point. The guy currently starting should be gone completely so not even to tempt Robin because as you pointed out he probably doesnt look at statistics. But I'm not sure Hahn looks at them either.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 02:16 PM) Our manager cannot even be bothered to look at the statistics of our relievers - he still just goes with the traditional handedness matchups. You expect him to utilize WAR? I wasnt talking about the manager. Right now it's Rick Hahn's fault that he's still the starting catcher.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 02:10 PM) They obviously value his catching ability. Hawk, who is basically our fly on the wall, has mentioned several times how Flowers has excelled at handling our starters, which is his "primary responsibility." We just need to accept that and deal with his offensive inadequacies. It isn't something that is going to change until a much better option becomes apparent. That's fine but statistically he's one of the worst catchers in baseball in terms of WAR. We have a catcher behind him who is actually middle of the pack. I think that would qualify as much better option.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 02:00 PM) Not sure why some of you get so frustrated by Flowers. I get much more frustrated by the failures of the guys that actually have the ability to be productive. Flowers is what he is, and the more quickly you accept that, the lower your blood pressure will remain. Oh we've accepted it. We just dont know why he keeps getting resigned and starting.

Flowers is pathetic

That was nasty Rodon

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 01:22 PM) Flowers sucks so bad. Well according to greg he's average

Man that was a good throw

More importantly womens volleyball is on

Alexei raising that value

Well played you two haha

I like how Fowler was arguing with the ump after taking a fastball right down the middle.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 25, 2015 -> 03:22 PM) I don't think there is a chance in hell they trade Hoffman or Sanchez for a rental This reminds me of the Carlos Martinez for Peavy discussions

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 25, 2015 -> 03:01 PM) Then they need to get a position player back for Samardzija. I'm sure they will. But even if they didnt they still cant rebuild next year.I think someone else would be in the GM spot if that were the case.

They arent rebuilding in 2016. I think they've made that fairly clear.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 25, 2015 -> 02:06 PM) Could just be a contingency plan on their part. Yeah that's all this is right now. If he gets called up that's when we'll know.

Yeah I saw that as well. Very strange.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jul 24, 2015 -> 11:22 AM) Is it the real Larry king? Yeah that's the real Larry King.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 10:15 PM) I get you. Frankly just give me a trade where we come out of it with some MLB ready or almost ready contributors. Not also-rans, fringe pen arms or AAA fodder. Boy wouldnt that be nice for a change.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 10:01 PM) I mean, out of all the things we need, pitching isnt my first choice. Our offensive and defensive games are horrific. I honestly believe Sale/Q/Fulmer/Rodon is a good enough core in 2 years to be a serious contender. Ofcourse I'm just saying that they have quite an abundance of very good young pitching. I certainly wouldnt mind taking some of those prospects.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 09:54 PM) Definitely some smoke with Toronto, I wouldnt be against it. I was hoping the Dodgers would be the best fit Yeah...really they are the only team I would take pitching from out of all the teams we've been linked to.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 07:36 PM) Then it will be flip flops it's summer. Flip Flops will be better.
