Dunn may have had some poor seasons with the sox, but he remains one of my favorite white sox players. He is up there with Thome when it comes to clubhouse guys. I hope the sox offer him a position within the organization in the future. Doubt he will take it, but I'm hoping for it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 13, 2014 -> 04:29 PM) Great timing. http://www.csnchicago.com/white-sox/prospe...steal-white-sox The laziness of the Cleuluis Rondon section is just awful. "The White Sox also acquired glove-first infielder Cleuluis Rondon from Boston in the trade. Rondon entered the season as the No. 26 prospect in the system and is good enough defensively to be a shortstop — if his bat ever catches up." He is good enough defensively to be a shortstop. Really? That's all the writer could come up with? Do some research on the other prospects of the trade. Cleuluis is another prospect with great potential. His bat was good enough while in A+. That defense at shortstop is so valuable. He is known for his plus-plus defense at shortstop. Embarrassing on Dan Hayes part. Stating " He is good enough defensively to be a shortstop" is selling him very short.

Did anybody expect Greg's grading system to not be flawed?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 25, 2014 -> 10:09 PM) I'm really concerned about the future. How do you revamp a bullpen and an entire defense? 2015 looks like another 90 loss season barring an offseason miracle. So you're assuming they get worse than they are this year? explanation please.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 18, 2014 -> 10:24 PM) Okay anybody who has seen any of my posts know I feel the loss of Reed had a horrific effect on this team. He couldn't close so we trotted out a number of closers who basically all failed. Some had a run of a couple good saves, then failed. Davidson at this point is a prospect who appears to be a non-prospect. He has his work cut out. I give the trade a D to D- on Hahn's resume. Why? This line from the above-mentioned article ... " As of today, 9/18/14, Reed holds a 4.13 ERA with 31 saves and an 86.1% save conversion rate." That, folks is a damn fine conversion rate and damn fine number of saves. I'd have preferred him closing for the Sox and finding two decent set up men from the number of lousy pitchers in our organization. Go ahead and fry me now. p.s. You all may hate me and/or my posts but at least you must admit I am consistent in my opinions. Yes, they are consistent. They are consistently full of opinions based on emotion and use of archaic stats. This post is an example of using outdated stats. People gave up on trying to explain advanced stats to you.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 18, 2014 -> 04:39 PM) I'm embarrassed to be a Sox fan sometimes because of the negative commends surrounding Konerko. It's like a Bears fan blasting Butkus; it's like a Cub fan blasting Ernie Banks; it's like a Blackhawk fan bashing Bobby Hull. Paul Konerko is everything right with White Sox baseball, case closed. Also as far as the people who care about draft picks, I told some huge baseball fans about people on this message board wanting the Sox to lose to improve draft stock and ALL OF THEM said, "In baseball? They care about the draft?" They laughed heartily. Would you rather lie and people say he hasn't sucked this season?

What do you think? I think the Sox owe it to him. He has been pure class during his tenure with the Sox. Liked by everybody, and just a great guy. Reminds me of Thome. I hope Jerry gives him a job in the future, if he wants one.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 3, 2014 -> 10:08 PM) Pulling for Arizona to win. Tonight's loss will allow us to gain on like 3 teams. A high pick would be very niceee.

As far as publications, I think you guys are the most knowledgeable group of people out there when it comes to white sox prospects and the organization as a whole. you know the white sox, and you know baseball. I think this place should be the go to for any diehard sox fan.

QUOTE (LDF @ Sep 2, 2014 -> 10:04 PM) can you pls remind me, why? cus he new rodon was finish for year

I think you all owe peavy44 an apology

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 01:01 PM) If you do not dump the salary of Beckham, Danks, or Dunn, you really failed the organization. And I'm your biggest fan. Sincerely, AtC Hey Andy the Clown, Sorry for replying so late. I've been meaning to get to your Soxtalk thread, but I have been quiet busy lately. I managed to dump the salaries of Beckham and Dunn for you. Enjoy the rest of your summer. Your buddy,

I hope tank goes. Why hasn't Michael Taylor ever gotten an extensive chance in the majors? He has put up pretty decent numbers. I'd like to see what he does for the sox. Dude can get on base well.

Viciedo next?

Very excited to see Wilkins. His swing looks sweeeet

I had no idea Dunn has never played in a playoff game. Wow. Glad he finally gets to play in the playoffs. I hope he has a good playoff series and wins it all with the Athletics.

I love it. Hahn getting ridding of baggage for possible relievers. We need more bullpen candidates in our farm.

Hahn turning water into wine! Most likely some version of boxed wine, though.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 10:00 AM) Clearly you people have issues following instructions., This thread is for NEGATIVITY only! This guy was horrible, and the Sox were too cheap to ditch him earlier. I have to admit though, I can see why people are wanting to be positive. I too am very happy this guy is about to be gone. I really want to be negative but the hate isn't spewing out, just joy over this guy finally getting the f*** off of this team and out of this city. Every day for this team is going to be a brighter one now. And Beckham's gone too. Phew. The quality of your posts are akin to Dunn's first year here

Im calling it. Sox trade for hamels in offseason.

both prospects have pitched decently this year.

bassitt is garbage
