QUOTE (oldsox @ Apr 9, 2014 -> 01:35 PM) De aza's trade value will be minimal, at best. 2 lower level prospects I think he can net.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Apr 9, 2014 -> 01:32 PM) Just saw that Sox big bats not only knocked Wil Lopez out of the game yesterday, but he was sent down to AAA today, inf Rutledge brought up. Would not be surprised to see him in the lineup today, especially if Tulo is hirting. I saw that too. Feel bad for the guy, it was real nice to be on the side of a good ole slaughtering.

I also like that Viciedo is in the line up. I still think he's part of the core and only 25. On the other hand, still have to play De Aza to get his trade value at its highest

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 9, 2014 -> 01:11 PM) Hopefully no 88MPH fastballs from Erik today. Hopefully the velocity is up. Warm day in Colorado, I hope his fast ball is 91-93 today.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 9, 2014 -> 11:35 AM) Those trades are not remotely comparable to the Molina deal - both of the other ones were salary dumps. The White Sox removed Swisher's contract, got him off the roster, and got back a couple of wild cards in the Marquez deal - Betemit and Nunez came back as well. The most important thing was clearing Swisher off the roster. Zach Stewart came back to the Sox along with Jason Frasor when Jackson and Teahen were dumped. Again, that was a salary dump, but we got back Frasor who, although ineffective for us, was then dealt for the guy who threw the hardest fastball I've ever seen in person, Daniel Webb. So out of that one, we got rid of Teahen's salary, got rid of Jackson, and wound up with a future closer (and Myles Jaye as well). Those trades aren't remotely comparable to the the other ones. Sergio Santos was not a salary dump. There were no other spare parts, there were no other wild cards, there were no other guys who could potentially contribute to the MLB roster along with that trade, it was straight up, one guy for the other. Myles Jaye will be in this rotation sooner rather than later. Bank on it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 9, 2014 -> 10:24 AM) Josh Feldman ‏@BigTexJosh 11m Not only has James Dykstra retired all 15 batters faced so far, Hickory has not hit a ball out of the infield. Pitch count: 46 (34 strikes). He's already 23. I hope to see him in high A or even AA by years end if he continues to do well.

Dykstra 9 up 9 down.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 9, 2014 -> 08:12 AM) Nathaniel Stoltz on twitter was saying that Danish was touching 92 in his last start. He lost a lot of velocity towards end of season last year. If he can sit around 92-93 with that delivery, I think that he can be pretty effective. Yeah that 92-93 mph drops like 6 inches too.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 9, 2014 -> 08:08 AM) The K rate for Hawkins is still concerning but he looks better at the plate. He has massive power. Very promising start still compared to what ended up happening last year. Davidson is trying to force his way to Chicago. Jared Mitchell is awful. I love checking that Winston Salem box score because of all the talent down there. One last thing, Rondon has been very impressive. If he can hit at all, that Peavy trade could be a major coup. Agree with everything. Rondon has been hitting really well early in the season. I love all 4 players Sox got from the Peavy deal.

I love a good ole **** shellacking

OMG ABREU!!!

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 8, 2014 -> 10:06 PM) Last year some players would be back in the video room and not even come out. That's why I think we'll love this team this year and for years to come. Good times and bad times, gonna be a fun and exciting team to watch and completely different than previous years.

Marcus!

Hector is getting rocked by the M's

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Apr 8, 2014 -> 10:04 PM) How about the bullpen holding the lead? Won't matter when Q is going the CG

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 8, 2014 -> 10:02 PM) On Avi's home run Abreu jumped like a school girl when he hit it. That's just great to see in the dugout.

Tyler keeps hitting lol

Did you guys see Abreu and Avi on each others home runs? Both at the top of the dugout and get a big hug. I love that. ALEXEI!!!

Great catch by Tank

Mitchell came back down to earth...

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 04:14 PM) *barf Well he's been hitting well...

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 03:53 PM) Looks like he's the bigger, stronger kid brother, and a switch hitter to boot. We'll need some of that. I would gladly take him as our second round pick.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 03:51 PM) I'm would bet Hanson is looking at the Sox as the organization to go to see if he can be fixed. They have a great reputation for this kind of stuff. Hahn eluded to this last week, when he spoke of pitchers seeking out the White Sox to sign with. I wonder if negotiation was in the back of his head at the time, or if he was sending a message to Hanson to come here? This is very true. I wonder if that will work when Sox start to get good and compete and this factor will high end pitchers here.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 03:13 PM) Any word on what has happened to him? Injury? Multiple elbow and shoulder issues I believe.
