Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 2m If Alex Rios is headed somewhere, doesn't sound like Pittsburgh is the spot. Source said "I don't see it happening." #WhiteSox #Pirates https://twitter.com/DanHayesCSN

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 09:08 PM) Rios deserved it. Of course he deserved it weeks ago. Its a little late for Robin to try and tough up at this point.

It was probably just Robin being a pile of crap manager.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 08:58 PM) Puig got pulled, maybe we made caulfield's year and traded for him? Konerko and Rios for Puig sounds good to me. Where do I sign for that?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 08:51 PM) Yep, kind of a strange time for Ventura to finally discipline someone. Robin just needs to go away.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 08:51 PM) I know about the medicals being the reason. Was looking for the specifics on Olt. I'm not huge on him, so it doesn't bother me much but Bowden and others seemed to imply it was Neil Ramirez's shoulder that was the issue. Neil Ramirez got torched today which didnt help either. The thing with Olt is nobody knows how he got vision issues. Some feared it may have been from the concussion he suffered a few months back. But he didnt have any of those problems going on before the concussion. Anyway a deal between the Cubs and Rangers doesnt sound very promising at the moment. I'm getting tired of hearing about Garza....hopefully a deal comes soon

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 08:39 PM) Link? For the deal falling through because of medicals http://www.chicagonow.com/cubs-den/2013/07...change-of-meds/ The Olt rumor there isnt a report for that just a few people doing some research.

Rumor has it medicals have led to the Cubs-Rangers trade disintegrating. The player that is having medical problems? Mike Olt. You guys remember me talking about a week ago about the concern for his medicals. Others in the scouting community are expressing the same concern. Believe me or not but I did my HW on this.

Found some interesting news....supposedly Mike Olt's medicals are the reason the Garza trade has disintegrated. So anyone who wanted him from Texas remove him from their lists. I realize it was the gamethread but thought you guys might find this interesting.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 07:26 PM) Gattis learns not to test Viciedo's arm. Brave's announcers couldnt believe he got tagged out without tripping or something. They reviewed that play about 8 times.

That was just dirty Chris

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 16, 2013 -> 01:05 PM) .890 OPS in AAA after getting the eye surgery. 28 HR, 82 RBI, .288 BA, .398 OBP, .977 OPS over 95 games in AA last year. He's far from a washout or valueless player. He'd be our number 1 prospect, easily, and could be playing in the MLB as soon as this year on our team. 1 he didnt have eye surgery. He actually got eye drops. The injury is speculated to be effects from a concussion back in December. I've seen him both before and after the injury. Color me not impressed.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 15, 2013 -> 08:10 PM) I wouldn't say that. It's just not nearly the value the media is presenting. That could change though. I wouldnt expect it to be and I dont think its as dire as greg says...but thats normal when he's talking about Rios. If the truth is somewhere in the middle then I'm not trading him. He can stay put.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 15, 2013 -> 06:22 PM) And both times it is you against pretty much everyone. Strange how that works. How many titles has Ozzie won in Miami? How many parades has he ridden in? Damn those facts

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 15, 2013 -> 01:47 PM) I think teams will wait 2 outings before they would make a trade for Peavy. #1) See how he looks #2) See how he recovers Personally, I don't think Peavy is going to be traded. I'd be content being wrong, but I don't think it's going to happen. I wouldnt be surprised if he wasnt traded.

Ill go with Peavy shortly after his next outing

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 14, 2013 -> 06:44 PM) One outing, one loss for Thornton Did they use him against a RHH?

Hopefully Peavy's rehab start goes well tomorrow

Uh oh....someone forgot to tell the players not to score here because that makes flavum mad

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 13, 2013 -> 06:20 PM) Good news is most of these bums won't be here in 2015. Ok and ?

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 13, 2013 -> 06:15 PM) I want the Sox to lose 98 games, and I want this to be one of them. Not happy. Good news is the players dont give a **** what you want

Nice miss there fat man

yeah Nate scream into your glove because you couldnt get me out if I was at the plate.

Nate Jones....he bad
