QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 03:48 PM) Probably for today. Speaking of which, what is Petricka's status?

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 03:48 PM) So is Danish a long-reliever for this team or...? Probably for today.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 03:43 PM) Mauer I think I'd definitely take as his deal is over after 2018 and as a lefty who still puts up a strong OBP he'd almost fit ideally into the 2 spot in our lineup. Verlander I struggled with, that contract is rough but he's also having a nice year. Yah, I acutally think Mauer would fit great on the Sox, but not at $24M per. Twins eat half that....maybe. But they're not going to eat any of Mauer's contract, he's worth more to them than anyother team, which is why he will play out his contract there.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 03:37 PM) It really is a little bit bizarre to race out and grab a guy 6 weeks before he'll be ready to play if your team is in trouble right now, gotta admit that. Doesn't mean it's the wrong move, just odd. We can't solve this problem right now so we'll just hope it solves itself and then we'll solve it in 6 weeks? My guess is Rick is still trying to find a LH bat.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 03:39 PM) If I could pick any two MVP's I think I would take Mike Trout and Bryce Harper instead of Jimmy Rollins and Justin Morneau. You're quite the talent evaluation expert! Impressive stuff.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 03:30 PM) Certainly didn't expect this. But wasn't it just a few days ago where Robin specifically said he wanted to keep Latos in the rotation and move Gonzalas to the pen? Now all of a sudden he's released. Sounds like somebody above Robin pulled the trigger (obviously) but I wonder if he was consulted or asked to give his opinion on this before it was done. Again you give them points for trying but as to whether or not it actually does any good, we'll have to see. Mark Managers generally don't make roster move decisions.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 03:12 PM) This isn't trying to win. Find me all of these contenders with their middle of the order threat being a mid season free agent signing of a 35 year old injured 1st baseman. He's a far superior option to DH against RHP that Avi Garcia or anyone else on the Sox 40 man roster.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 03:08 PM) Its just sad. The Sox have nobody in the minors they trust to bring up, nobody on the big league squad who can do anything...only place they have to go is the dumpster. I don't find it sad at all. I like it when my team tries to win. No one in the minor leagues would come up and be an effective LH bat to DH. If he doesn't work out, you cut him and you can still go and try Danny Hayes or whoever you want. I'll say it again - its f***ing chump change.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 03:05 PM) laughing out loud For $1M? Its f***ing chump change.

Chicago White SoxVerified account ‏@whitesox The #WhiteSox have agreed to terms with first baseman Justin Morneau on a one-year, $1-million contract.

I dig it for that kind of doe.

QUOTE (Special K @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 10:43 AM) That positional player comment is not entirely true. Semien is fine, Trayce seems solid. Also De Aza. But I get the point. They didn't develop De Aza. He was a waiver claim from the Marlins.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 09:54 AM) This team sucks so keep losing boys. I want another top 5 pick Dude.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 10:07 AM) I got that. What I don't get is what he thinks it will accomplish if JR does it. Do the players not know they have sucked? Do the fans not know they have sucked? Does management not know this team has sucked? What exactly does this achieve? Nothing, which is why JR would never do it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 09:47 AM) Still doesn't explain what a public temper tantrum accomplishes? What did it do for San Diego? None of those words were JRs. They were San Diego's owner - and Rosenclown made it sound like it was JR's...until the last sentence.

What a horrible article. Terribly misleading.

QUOTE (b-Rye @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 09:46 PM) The 3 year fail more like it. This team has no depth. When Jackson,c Cabrera were gone last week we had the worst lineup baseball by far. no depth whatsoever. Fulmer might be a bust, Anderson looks like Micah Johnson to me, rodon below average, duke/albers/Latos/avilla/Rollins/shuck/sands/Garcia should be dfa'd and guarantee nobody in MLB would add them. Then it's a nothing but aaaa players in our system. Our cheap ass GM should of got some decent players not a bunch of crap players off scrap pile. Imagine Ian desmond, Dexter Fowler, cespedes on this team This is one of the worst posts I have ever seen on here, and that is saying something. No MLB teams have the depth to take 2/3 starters out of their outfield and expect to field an above average lineup. No one. What makes you think Fulmer is a bust and Anderson is Micah Johnson? What a comical comment. Rodon average? The dude pitched less than 25 innings in the minor leagues - he's not going to be an ace yet. Give him some time.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 03:24 PM) If the Sox did sign Morneau, they would probably have the best 2010 roster in baseball. Not really. Outside of Rollins, no one else the team was really relevant in 2010 in the bigs...maybe Melky. Also just so happened to be Melky's worst year of his career.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 02:43 PM) Austin Jackson has actually come around some statistically. Bravo. The guy that hasn't played in almost 2 weeks? haha

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 11:21 PM) Of course, Chris Carter had 5 RBI's tonight and now has 16 and 39. Trayce Thompson has been hitting 3rd and now 5th for the Dodgers the last two nights. Marcus Semien has a 743 OPS for the A's, which would be 770-780ish in a favorable hitting environment. But we do have that draft pick instead of Semien AND Desmond. This post made me LOL.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 10:05 PM) If they trade Tim Anderson for anyone at this point, that's the very last straw. The last straw for what? You making 100 posts a day on a White Sox board? That said, I hope they don't trade Tim Anderson, and highly doubt that they will.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 04:10 PM) As I stated above, I think we would receive compensation from the Padres if he opts out. Think that's what he meant. I get it - my point is that if Rick were wrong about that I'd be blown away.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 04:04 PM) Praise the lord. It actually happened. I never want to see Sands again. I don't like Shuck over Coats though unless Jackson is still out for awhile. Jackson is in the lineup today.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 04:04 PM) Random thought, but I totally see Jonathan Lucroy on the White Sox by the end of the month. I really hope not. I mean I like Lucroy as a player and all, and the Sox could definitely use an upgrade there. But he is going to be expensive to acquire prospect-wise, and you only get him for 1.5 years. Not to mention, he is perhaps one concussion away from not catching again and hes injury prone to begin with. I'd be for it if he was relatively cheap (no Anderson or Fulmer), but I'd be super hesitant to give one of those guys up for 200 games of control of Lucroy.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 04:06 PM) The CBA states that to be eligible to receive a qualifying offer a player must have been with the same Club at the major or minor league level since Opening Day of the last completed season. Ergo, the Sox could not offer him a qualifying offer. Thats what I thought, but I'd be pretty blown away if Rick said they would get a pick if he opts out and was wrong about that. Admittedly, I haven't seen or heard that quote - just read it here.
