Well looks that Jon Lester is going to get traded. Got scratched for tomorrows start. Question is, who gets him and who then comes to Danks?

That's why Sierra is on this team.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 29, 2014 -> 08:49 PM) Abreu is on another level.. MVP! Could Trout get screwed out of the MVP for a 3rd straight year lol

Trade him!!! And after Eaton scored, Sox players who scored before them were by dugout, he stopped in front of them and shuffled his feet like a bull hahaha

Rondon 2-3. Up to 279 now....

Who saw what Eaton just did after he scored? Lol that was awesome.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 29, 2014 -> 07:52 PM) Semien 2-3, 3B, HR Still think he's gonna be a good one. Also, very encouraging start from Chris Beck tonight.

Danish > Bundy Kidding aside, Bundy walked 5 over 4 1/3 and got pulled. Hawkins drawing 2 walks on him is encouraging.

Mitchell with another HR.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 29, 2014 -> 07:21 PM) This Sox team sure does seem to have a bunch of idiot baserunners. WTF would convince Conor to steal? Well he was safe if his front foot was down, to get into scoring position with 2 outs with De Aza up. Also, on Conor's hit, Viciedo read the ball well and got to 3rd that lead to him scoring on the sac fly.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jul 29, 2014 -> 06:22 PM) Has he converted to OF, or another guy? Jake Cose is a pitcher for the Dash who's out for the year with a back injury. I'm thinking its Jason Coats.

Well the lineup card has Jake Cose playing RF for the Dash tonight lol. Rondon gets a hit off Bundy.

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Jul 29, 2014 -> 05:44 PM) "The Dodgers recently inquired about Phillies starter Cole Hamels, and were asked for a return that included all of Joc Pederson, Corey Seager, and Julio Urias. Los Angeles indicated it had no interest in a deal with that framework, but Philadelphia has not move yet from that asking price. The Phils are telling clubs that it wants three top-tier youngsters and another mid-level prospect in return for Hamels." Per MLBTR. Good luck with that Philly. Lol that's laughable. For those 3 players, Phillies would have to eat the rest of that contract. That team is so old and bad, they need to sell.

So if Hahn decided to take on Hamels full contract, what would you give up for him then?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 29, 2014 -> 03:11 PM) That is way, way too much. I like Hamels, but I don't think they're ready to be big time buyers yet. I completely agree that the Sox aren't going to be big time buyers, but its definitely an interesting though in my opinion. Sox would go into next year with 3 dominant lefties and money off the books that could pay for Hamels.

Would you guys be willing to trade for Cole Hamels? He's 30 years old right now with an AAV of 24 million until 2019. If the Sox can somehow trade Danks and with Dunn, Keppinger and Downs contracts off the books the next couple years, would you go for it? Take on the whole contract and give up Montas, Micah Johnson, Hawkins and Beck? Is that to much? Definitely interesting, that rotation no matter what hand they throw with would be insane. Rotation for next year Sale Quintana Hamels Rodon?/Or free agent RHP Noesi?

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 29, 2014 -> 02:47 PM) I don't get all of you guys rating Davidson so high. I'm trying, but it just doesn't compute. He is hitting .200 with a ton of strikeouts and is clearly regressing from 2013, and those numbers were not so hot. This is his 6th pro season. He has 2650 at bats as a pro -- almost 3000 plate appearances. Not a small sample size. What do you guys need to see in order to put him further down on your list, or gone completely? First full season of A ball hit 272 had 18 HRs and 90 RBIs Another year of A ball (age 20) hit 270 with 20 HRs and 106 RBIs AA (age 21) hit 261 with 23 HRs and 76 RBIs AAA (age 22) hit 280 with 17 HRs and 74 RBIs AAA with White Sox (age 23) hitting 201 with 17 HRs and 41 RBIs Power is still there, still very young and has proven track record. Could be just a down year. So you are completely insane if you think he just completely sucks now because of one bad year. He'll be fine.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 29, 2014 -> 02:05 PM) More scouting sightings: As the White Sox listen to offers on John Danks, they've been eyeballing the farm systems of the Yankees, Blue Jays and Red Sox. -Jayson Stark. Where did you hear this? Don't see it on his twitter page.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 29, 2014 -> 11:59 AM) List is under construction now, being written up. Hoping to put it out there the week of August 4th, split into two as usual (11-25, then 1-10 and full list). FYI, the way we do it, every voter submits a Top 30, and we do a voting/points system similar to college football polls. The voters this time around, in case you are curious, are danman31, Ozzie Ball, Chisoxfn, witesoxfan, Balta1701 and NorthSideSox72. So, if YOU folks (not including the 6 official FS voters) were making a Top 30 list, who would it be? 1. SP Carlos Rodon 2. SS Tim Anderson 3. 2B Micah Johnson 4. SP Francellis Montas 5. OF Courtney Hawkins 6. 3B Matt Davidson 7. SP Tyler Danish 8. 3B Trey Michalczewski 9. SS Carlos Sanchez 10. 1B Rangel Ravelo (despite reports, kid is good) 11. SP Chris Beck 12. SP Spencer Adams 13. OF Trayce Thompson 14. OF Jacob May 15. OF Micker Adolfo 16. 1B Keon Barnum 17. OF Adam Engel 18. SP James Dykstra 19. C Kevan Smith 20. SS Cleuluis Rondon 21. SP Mike Recchia 22. RP Andrew Mitchell 23. 1B Andy Wilkins 24. SP Jeffery Wendelken 25. SP Jordan Guerrero 26. SP Thad Lowry 27. SP Brandon Brennan 28. RP Kyle Hansen 29. 2B Joey DeMichele 30. C Brett Austin While compiling this list, the system is definitely getting deeper, especially the pitching in the lower levels, like the recent draftees in Great Falls. Guys like Freudenberg, Clark, Bummer, Peter, Thomas, Robbins is encouraging. And its pretty cool that guys that have graduated like Semien, Johnson (hopefully regains form), and Phegley that are still young enough to make an impact too. Semien I'm still extremely high on.

http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?s...mp;ymd=20140729 Charlotte- Beck (2nd start, up for good now?) Birmingham- Bassitt (1st start) Winston Salem- Danish (facing Bundy) Kannapolis- Lowry Great Falls- Freudenberg AZL & DSL- TBA Kanny is playing right now. Engel 1-1 2BB Trey 1-2 Hayes 1-2

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 28, 2014 -> 10:17 PM) Braulio "A Better Prospect Than Rangel Ravelo According To MLB.com" Ortiz walked 4 in 2 innings tonight, gave up 3 hits and a run with 2 strikeouts and lowered his Birmingham ERA to 11.25. How the heck did he earn a promotion to AA? He wasn't that good with the Dash either.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 28, 2014 -> 09:03 PM) That statement (although it was more in jest as Montas and Anderson had just gone done to injury, Davidon/Johnson/Semien were struggling) and Mitchell Boggs as the closer hasn't worked out very well. Semien will be fine. I like his hit tool and he can still work a walk and has good power. Davidson's power is still there at least but he has no contact right now, I'd still make that trade 10 times out of 10. Johnson scares me the most because he lost 3 mph on his fastball and his control went to s***.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 28, 2014 -> 08:33 PM) He's been awful, he personally cost Peavy a couple runs the other day. Sometimes I wonder what these front offices are thinking, wishcasting Uggla or Morales as anything other than useless replacement level players at this point is beyond silly. I guess every GM thinks that in the right situation an older talented" player will turn it around. Heck, KW did it with Griffey when he was washed up. Well Uggla was real low risk, giving him a minor league deal.
