God Tyler Flowers is an awful baseball player

QUOTE (Wedge @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 05:45 PM) I think if anything should be questioned it's why does Quintana get the kids glove treatment? If the closer can't close, that's a roster issue not a tactical problem. Reed can close. He was going to blow a save at some point. Move on and score next inning.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 05:43 PM) That's a stretch Ya think?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 05:42 PM) Glad we did that for the sake of using the closer in the closer's role. Especially when our closer is so god awful

Horrible throw Rios

Just a lucky hit there

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 05:37 PM) You are the biggest second-guesser here. I was joking ofcourse about the being in charge thing.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 05:35 PM) What a shocker. You should be in charge

Why a high fastball?

Dont hit anything near Ethier

Jose Quintana is an absolute monster. Mowing down the Dodgers

Tank!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 04:17 PM) Flowers strikes out looking so freaking much. I wish he'd just swing hard 3 times and hopes he hits it. Just a bad player, yet some would rather give him the starting spot and not bring back AJ. Didnt someone say that they would rather have Flowers start than AJ?

That was dirty

end this game so I can go to bed

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 12:09 AM) link or it didn't happen He's a FA at end of season right? Money can't be a big limiting factor for anyone looking to pick him up Yeah he is a free agent. I think he was set to make 14 million this year?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 12:07 AM) They probably don't want anybody MLB ready The more salary they eat they will want one.

AJ that lazy butt hole

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 12:05 AM) The Cubs would probably aim higher than getting a future closer. I would not do that trade if I was KW (or Theo) They have been looking at infield prospects. But I have a feeling they wont get anybody major league ready for Dempster.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 12:02 AM) I don't WANT to, but it may be the lesser of evils if you say that we must acquire a somewhat big ticket player Say the Cubs eat most of Dempsters contract but they want someone like Jones. Would you do it?

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 12:01 AM) Nate Jones may be our most expendable piece that actually has a fairly high value Indeed...itll be interesting to see what happens in the weeks to come

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 16, 2012 -> 11:59 PM) I don't mean so much that he should care what I say, but JR will certainly be upset if he sees the Cubs or whomever is trading a starting pitcher winning with Dayan Viciedo, Jared Mitchell, Nate Jones, etc. while we have trouble filling those or other positions without spending a good deal of money Clearly no to trading Viciedo. I actually dont mind exploring deals with Mitchell and Nate Jones.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 16, 2012 -> 11:52 PM) It's more about what we're going to say in three years if we trade away an MLB star or two for a half season of Dempster or something like that while we're itching for more young talent. Kenny certainly wants to make a deal, he doesn't like having a flawed team in a pennant race -- but I'm sure last season is fresh in his mind and you don't want to get caught in the same mindset that sets you up for spectacular failure in the future. Some BS trying to replace struggling players this season is acceptable if the stockpile of young players eventually makes this kind of thing not an issue (either having capable replacements in the minors or at least having a deep enough minor league talent to trade away without ruining the system) Kenny shouldnt care what we say now or in 30 years when he is long gone from the White Sox. He got to be GM of a baseball team that won the World Series. He should be able to laugh off our critisms of him. Problem with those young ones in the minor leagues right now is there really isnt anyone we should be afraid of getting rid of. Maybe Castro. As far as the major league roster I agree except for Nate Jones. Be interesting to see what we could get for him.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 16, 2012 -> 11:49 PM) There's no one currently in the Sox minors who us fans should get upset about if they're traded, I honestly believe. Maybe Castro...but thats really it.
