.231/.273/.288 with a 41.8% K% and a .393 BABIP. Why is this guy still getting major league at bats? Isn't it past time to give those at bats to someone like Coats or Hayes?

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 08:43 AM) That's a good point. In fact, Profar wouldn't be a centerpiece of a trade at this point. I would expect TEX goes after a big name pitcher and sends back Profar and something else. Not sure we have what they want because they're in "win now" mode. They have an absolute wealth of talent. Unfortunately, I dont see the 2 teams matching up that well together.

Would be really nice to win today and get some momentum back on our side

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ May 31, 2016 -> 04:56 PM) Turf toe is a very tricky thing. Larry Czonka had to retire because of it in football because it wouldn't go away. Hurts the Sox defensively to be sure. Mark I think they can minimize damage if they decide to bring Coats up and stick him in RF

Theyd probably want pitching since that seems to be where they have weakness

Kinda weird to have so many intriguing players in AAA. Really wish the Sands experiment would end, he's a DH with an OPS below .600. Coats can easily split that time and spell Melky/Avi in the OF, especially if Jackson misses more time.

Lol. Stupid.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 30, 2016 -> 06:18 PM) On the plus side, the possibility of a Puig to the White Sox trade has become more likely... Dave Roberts has to be running out of patience with him at this point. And Ventura will surely keep him in line, right? Sox were 2 1/2 games behind the Cubs three weeks ago. Now it's 9 1/2 games. Everything the Cubs do turns to gold these days... What?

I will always cheer for the Sox, but this season has pretty much broken me as a fan. Hard to ever be optimistic about them again until they actually get to a postseason. They are terrible at assessing major league talent, the farm is weak and unable to develop offensive talent, management is cheap and always tries piecing teams together with band aids...will just be hard to get excited for anything again for awhile with this organization.

Kiss first place goodbye this weekend

QUOTE (fathom @ May 27, 2016 -> 11:37 AM) Brian Any new buzz on Atlanta at 3? KLaw Nothing new on the top 3-4 teams. About the only really new thing is that it seems like Corey Ray is without a clear landing spot right now. Ray, Rutherford, or Collins and Im very happy. Ray definitely doesnt make it past 10 though.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 27, 2016 -> 10:37 AM) I like Avi Garcia better, personally. Anderson profiles way better defensively than Avi ever did, but I understand what you're saying

QUOTE (Soxnfins @ May 27, 2016 -> 09:45 AM) Personally, you keep Anderson down for as long as he needs. This situation screems Gordon Beckham to me all over again if you rush him up. Sure he has 1300+ MiLB AB, but he needs to show he has the mental confidence. Remember, not that long ago Anderson was very raw, he's just starting to grasp. You have to see if he can fully handle his position for more than a month or so, on a consistent basis. Keep him down until the end of July, unless he proves AAA is like shooting fish in a barrel. That's just my two cents. Gordon Beckham comps are lazy, the only reason people are bringing him up is because he's the freshest failure in our minds. They are very different situations.

There is no excuse for not taking 3 of 4 this series against a team missing Moose and Gordon.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 26, 2016 -> 12:09 PM) Because they aren't remotely the same anything. Why is that? B/c he is more highly regarded? He hasn't even thrown over 90 innings in a season.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ May 26, 2016 -> 10:15 AM) Julio Urias on the way up for the Dodgers and starting tomorrow. Will be first teenager to start a MLB game since Felix. The Dodgers are bringing a 19 year old with less than 300 IP and we are worried about bringing up a 23 year old with over 1300 ABs lol

Move Abreu back to the 2 or 3 hole tonight plz

We still have the 4th best run differential in the AL, 8th overall in MLB

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 26, 2016 -> 08:12 AM) I'd do Adams and Michalczewski for Lucroy for sure. Brewers probably wouldn't though. Same

Anderson 2 for 4 w/ a BB. Making this look easy.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 25, 2016 -> 03:45 PM) Why KW? Obviously divisive in the clubhouse and his imprint is still clear on this team. He loves his old and beat ass players.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 25, 2016 -> 03:43 PM) Agreed about money this year, but it was the debacle last offseason that put them in a bad spot this year. Hahn's made a lot of moves, but unfortunately nothing is translating to production on the field or development of a farm system. He is fantastic at contract extensions LaRoche was a clunker, but Melky and Robertson have been solid. Duke has been serviceable albeit nothing special. It's already been shown that they never realized the problems occurring with Samardzija, that's on the coaching staff.

QUOTE (Dunt @ May 25, 2016 -> 03:42 PM) I dont know, I dont think Hahn should really be much of a scapegoat for this team. He's had them take a different approach to drafting recently and he was the guy that organized the contracts for guys like Sale, Eaton, and Q. If they fail this year, Im not really sure it's his fault. They didnt give him any money to work with this offseason and he somehow massively upgraded our team anyways. Frankly, the biggest problem with this team is still Kenny Williams and Jerry Reinsdorf.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 25, 2016 -> 03:35 PM) If they do end up rebuilding, better not be with Hahn in charge. Just let him go after the year and bring in McLeod I dont know, I dont think Hahn should really be much of a scapegoat for this team. He's had them take a different approach to drafting recently and he was the guy that organized the contracts for guys like Sale, Eaton, and Q. If they fail this year, Im not really sure it's his fault. They didnt give him any money to work with this offseason and he somehow massively upgraded our team anyways.

Adam Eaton has scored 3 runs in the last 13 games. There's just a glimpse of your problems.
