QUOTE (Jake @ May 5, 2013 -> 03:13 PM) LOL This is the perfect example of why Soxtalk would never have the stomach for a rebuild. Viciedo plays one major league season, hits 25 bombs and 75 RBI, and he is trash. You guys would never have been able to handle the development of the guys you love on KC, many of whom are still not producing 5 years into it and this forum would be a ghost town.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2013 -> 03:11 PM) It would take something going very wrong for Detroit for them not to be the favorite in the division the next few years. I said it the other day, but it's the best team in the AL Central the Sox have had to contend with since the Thome/Manny Indians. The whole rebuilding process would be different if the Sox were 1 or 2 players on offense away from being a powerhouse, but who can you really pencil into the starting lineup with confidence for the 2015 season? There currently are no sure-fire offensive players in the organization for the future. You could have just said yes. That would have cut down on the bull explanation. You know exactly what kind of mentality is. That stance is absolutely laughable.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 5, 2013 -> 03:08 PM) Don't you think this division has gotten better? at least KC and DET? So that means dont try?

QUOTE (Marty34 @ May 5, 2013 -> 03:01 PM) How are they not going to suck for the next couple of years? Unfortunately, it's inevitable. Well lets put it this way. You have no idea of knowing that. Using the "Its too hard" argument is just ridiculous. I bet you no one in baseball management has that mentality. That is a loser mentality that some I see have taken part of. If you wanna watch a full rebuild for god knows how long be my guest.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2013 -> 02:58 PM) Question is, what has to happen for Sox to even contend the next few years with the likes of Detroit and KC? Like it or not, there's just a huge talent gap from Detroit-KC-White Sox. So lets suck for the foreseeable future. God I just hope management doesnt have your attitude. Thats an extreme loser mentality.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ May 5, 2013 -> 02:51 PM) Yep. A rebuild is long overdue. Honestly I hate when people say this for the exact reason Balta just pointed out.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 2, 2013 -> 08:41 PM) What is Flowers with RISP now? 2-21

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 2, 2013 -> 08:28 PM) I am fine with Santiago in the rotation...........I do not miss Floyd at all. Thing with Floyd is he could start off great. But after a hit or two in a row and he just implodes. Its just so predictable.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 2, 2013 -> 08:27 PM) Everyone knew his back couldn't hold up though. Yep that was a problem.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 2, 2013 -> 08:25 PM) Of course, Eric Chavez is playing well and has stayed healthy so far. Personally...I wanted us to resign Youk.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 2, 2013 -> 08:23 PM) People keep talking about his babip, but it's hard to take comfort in that when his outs are so weak. I wonder if he came into camp way out of shape due to his leg injury during the offseason. Thats a very good point

Kepp is just brutal to watch...

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 2, 2013 -> 06:19 PM) One example of this board not being fair to AJ was when those PED rumors popped up last year. Many here wanted them to be true. Said they had to be true. These same people wanted AJ replaced by Flowers, a guy who actually was suspended for PEDs. Those same people also said that we wouldnt miss AJ because of the defensive juggernaut that is Flowers. Plus magic was supposed to kick in and he would stop striking out.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 2, 2013 -> 02:45 PM) If it keeps up, a lot of people will get their wish for a selloff and sixty win baseball. For many years. Boy that's going to be fun.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 1, 2013 -> 10:04 PM) It tells you why AJ wasn't back this year Well that's sure working out well for us right?....

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 1, 2013 -> 10:01 PM) Good for Addison, I respect him for that. You know Jake is going too

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 1, 2013 -> 07:34 PM) I'm SOOO over tyler flowers. Give me Gimenez Is anybody else really surprised as to what we are getting out of Flowers? What's happening now was predictable. The guy just isnt good at the plate.

Im done watching this s***

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 21, 2013 -> 03:37 PM) Who is their everyday 1B these days? It's not Moreland anymore? I haven't been following baseball this season as much because the Sox are so depressing. I do know the Rays need offense. I listened to a couple of their games. They have Lance out there sometimes and Mitch Moreland.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 21, 2013 -> 03:34 PM) I don't know what Loney's contract is, but TB could definitely use the hitting either at 1B/DH. Of course, everyone assumes he'd always go somewhere like AZ, Dodgers, Angels. Rangers? Rangers have two DH types on their roster already

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 21, 2013 -> 03:31 PM) Courtney Hawkins, 0/3, 3 K's, 1 BB. Ha! A walk. Christ is it your mission to depress us even more?

QUOTE (Paint it Black @ Apr 21, 2013 -> 03:29 PM) Wasn't taking a cheap shot at you. Generally the Sox fans that I k n own that don't like B and B seek out the White Sox kool-aid. We disagree on things but you seem to be a fan of the show in some regard Trust me normally I dont drink what Hawk is serving.

QUOTE (Paint it Black @ Apr 21, 2013 -> 03:25 PM) Congratulations, you're not a thin skinned white Sox fan. Hey I'm not that thin skinned

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 21, 2013 -> 03:24 PM) Bad teams are bad. This is a bad team. I'm slowly starting to agree

I do miss Joe Cowley though
