QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 8, 2015 -> 11:49 AM) You'd have to empty the farm for any of those guys, except maybe Seager. Though not great themselves, we also have better in house options at 3rd (Saladino, Alexei, Sanchez) than what we have in the OF and particulary Catcher. On top of that, the free agent pool for 3Bs is terrible. It's pretty good for outdielders. For carchers there's not a lot either unless Wieters excites you. I think depending on the deal, I definitely would give up quite a bit for Arenado, Longoria, and Frazier. Seager would be cheaper because of his contract. However, all 4 of these guys would be difference makers defensively and offensively on this team. I also wonder if the Nationals will make Rendon available. QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Sep 8, 2015 -> 12:12 PM) I'd look to acquire some sort of 3B. I'd look into the possibility of getting Alex Guerrero from the Dodgers somehow. He has a contract clause though that would have to be taken care of. Cespedes makes sense because he wouldn't cost a draft pick. Ideally, they could upgrade catcher and keep Flowers as the backup. I also wouldn't be opposed to moving Danks and signing a guy like Doug Fister/Ian Kennedy for the rotation. The thing that I wouldn't do is trade Quintana. I'd roll with a rotation of Sale/Q/Rodon/Johnson/Free Agent/Fulmer at some point. Back end of the bullpen with Robertson/Jones/Montas. I'd be fine with Saladino at SS but not 3B. I agree that Saladino would be fine at SS rather than 3B but, I think Sox will pick up Alexei's option and put Saladino in the utility role where I think he could excel at. However, your Guerrero mention, no thanks on him. 5 walks in about 200 at bats. Has 11 HRs in 200 at bats, yet still has an OPS under 700 with a batting average of 228. Not to mention, going to be 29 starting next year. Give me a more proven guy that will cost a little bit more but has a track record of success.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 8, 2015 -> 11:34 AM) I'm fine with it as long as we would also somehow improve upon both catcher and 1 outfielder as well. I think 3B is a bigger need than any of those imo. Get one of Longoria, Frazier, Arenado, Seager, and that can off set the OF and C position.

Xavier Simpson picking his school Wednesday at 130 CT. Probably between Illinois & Wisconsin.

If he doesn't get traded, he'll be the Sox everyday 3B in a few years.

QUOTE (harkness @ Sep 7, 2015 -> 07:01 PM) He can get away with his fast ball up and away... but when he tries to throw it inside too much. They get him. Did you see how many strikeouts he had today with the inside fastball? /thread.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Sep 7, 2015 -> 02:17 PM) back to back sub par starts for Sale. anyway i can blame this on him being pushed back a day? It's the 4th inning, if he goes 7 with giving up 2 runs, that's a good start. Relax.

Great catch by Melky. Sale with another clean inning.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 4, 2015 -> 12:47 PM) Rodon was at Charlotte by this time last year. Their paths have already diverged. Could that be that even though Fulmer might of been behind in terms of development than Rodon, that they were thinking about bringing up Rodon last September? Just because it has differed, doesn't mean that he won't start in AAA next year, so he can come up around the same time as Rodon did this year.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 4, 2015 -> 12:38 PM) Fulmer was thought to be maybe a tiny step behind where Rodon was. I could totally see him in the bigs next year and I could totally see him taking Danks's spot at some point during the year. I'd also agree with "not rushing him" but I wouldn't be surprised at all to see him starting at AAA next year and moving up rapidly. Yeah, it sounds like Fulmer is working on the change up down in Winston Salem just how Rodon was, so, if he keeps improving that into next year, I could see him up around the same time as Rodon was this year. Sale, Quintana, Rodon, Johnson, Fulmer is really really good.

This was a fantastic read. The pitching in this system amazes me and part of that credit goes to Perdew.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 4, 2015 -> 12:16 PM) This would make total sense. No downside, if he can't play, see you, but upside exists. Nix profiles as a prototypical NT and a change of scenery might do him wonders. This is all presuming he has a clean bill of health. Yeah I agree, Bears want to get young anyway and this helps. If he is healthy, (I believe it was his knee issue coming out of college), then Goldman and Nix would be a great rotation once Ratliff is gone.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Sep 4, 2015 -> 11:59 AM) @AaronWilson_NFL Louis Nix released by Texans, according to sources. Former third-round draft pick from Notre Dame Kind of a surprise. Bears should be all over him and see if he can take on NT spot since Ratliff is suspended and Goldman has a concussion.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 4, 2015 -> 11:50 AM) I think he starts right where he is now. No way, I can see them with the same path as Rodon next year. Rodon started the year in AAA and bypassed AA.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Sep 4, 2015 -> 06:56 AM) Hoping he starts out in AA next season as he will be 26 when the season starts I think he starts out in AA as well, does well and works his way up as a September call up next year if everything goes right.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 4, 2015 -> 10:28 AM) Recap posted. Fulmer and Clark make a filthy tandem starting pair. Great Falls still right in the thick of a playoff race. Do you think Fulmer will start the year in AA or AAA next year? I think Clark should start in AA next year as well.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Sep 3, 2015 -> 10:31 PM) A ton of the guys drafted this year have been solid. After being pretty boring this season, Kanny should be really interesting next season with a lineup potentially of Zangari, Zavala, Glines, Adolfo, Cruz, etc. Rodriguez and Jarvis could make the jump as well.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 3, 2015 -> 09:11 PM) Does Cooper really have any success with veteran pitchers who had some success? He has more value working with younger pitchers. I wonder why Rodon has little minor league experience. Do they trust Cooper that much more than their farm system? Matt Thornton.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Sep 3, 2015 -> 04:31 PM) Pardon my ignorance, but the guys on AZL White Sox are done for the season now, right? None can go to Great Falls or Kanny? Zinger just got promoted to Great Falls.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 3, 2015 -> 02:54 PM) None. He's 19 with only one full year of pro ball under his belt, barely got to A+, and is still growing into his body. He's not the type you rush, and the Sox won't. This isn't Rodon or Sale. A rotation of Guerrero, Adams, Almonte, Lowry, and ? will be nasty next year for the dash.

Sox win!

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 3, 2015 -> 02:09 PM) Matt Ball really fell apart this year. He wasn't good last year either.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 3, 2015 -> 01:13 PM) Serious Q: what does it take for the White Sox to not offer him a QO? Is he there already? Yes, you offer it to him. Michael Cuddyer was offered a QO and signed with the Mets.
