How long until the usual suspects come in here to rain on the parade and tell us how the rebuild is a failure?

You absolutely have to go after Cole or somebody like Wood. No excuses for missing on these guys

Steele Walker with a heck of a day. Guy is definitely one of our best OF prospects

Is Verlander juicing? Dude is having.m a career year at 36. I don't know how he's still going so strong.

@greg775 would be pissed if they traded Alexei and Avi in their peaks for the rebuild

GIVE RICKY THE AWARD THAT HE DESERVES!

They already called up Despaigne

What does JD get in free agency? Aging first basemen haven't been treated kindly in free agency in recent years. I would love to get him. I don't think the contract would be too bad either. Edit: I just checked his contract. I'm not sure that he opts out. Maybe if he gets promises that the contract gets topped.

@Chicago White Sox is moving back to Chicago!

You all poke fun, but there's already been two people giving support to the idea. Not saying I completely agree, but one could make an argument

He's been playing there often lately

Greg has been saying that Ricky deserves manager of the year for the record he has led this ballclub to. They are nearly .500 with a terrible starting staff and some very bad players like Alonso, Wellington. Do you agree with @greg775? Does Ricky deserve manager of the year?

Reminds me of trades I would make in Ken Griffey Jr's slugfest

Yonder Alonso is dogshit. It's embarrassing that the FO can't swallow their pride, admit their mistake and DFA him already. What will come from playing him? Nobody will trade for him. He hurts your team. Skole, Collins, or Palka should be played so we can see what they got. It's just a complete joke.

Did Ricky actually look like manager of the year today? I didn't watch.

Unfortunately I'm not sure if he can raise his value enough before the deadline. If he does, then hell yeah, trade him

These are exactly my thoughts. Even if you view him as just a one dimensional scorer, he isn't making all that much.

Pathetic little weakling will never amount to anything in the majors

Man, that sucks about Casey Mize. I'm so discouraged by pitching prospects lately that I want to just avoid drafting them.

1000%

He's Jake Burger size now

Are you serious? That is an absolutely awful trade.

Ugh man that sucks. This org can't catch a break with pitching prospects

Jorge Soler is 5th in the AL in RBIs. Little known fact, but he is a top 10 player in the AL!
