I'm kind of ready to see more of Bonafacio at 2nd

This team is f***ing embarrassing offensively

QUOTE (fathom @ May 28, 2015 -> 12:33 PM) If they're both off, I'm hoping for Happ or Stephenson (or Tate if he slips) I havent heard Stephenson's name come up near enough. I would love that pick.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 28, 2015 -> 12:44 PM) Just terrible...move LaRoche up to the 2nd spot Im all for this. Him and Shuck appear to be the best current options.

Wow, look at how much more effective Chris is when he mixes in sliders. It only took....2 months to figure this out?

QUOTE (fathom @ May 28, 2015 -> 12:15 PM) Probably time to stop batting him 2nd. Are the Sox the lowest scoring team in the first inning all season? Seem to go down 1-2-3 very frequently. Why would you rock the boat like that with all the momentum they have? Oh wait...

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 28, 2015 -> 11:58 AM) South Side Sox ‏@SouthSideSox 14m14 minutes ago Orioles are .352/.436/.614 against Sale. Somehow, that only translates to a 5.06 ERA. Yikes.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 28, 2015 -> 10:51 AM) Have they ever mentioned what is causing the swelling in Avi's knee? If it isn't really anything, it seems to be hanging around a while. Likely a meniscule tear. I've had inflammation and swelling in my knee after a meniscule tear and needed to get arthroscopies.

Definitely someone heading to the DL

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ May 28, 2015 -> 01:30 AM) At least Micah's problem is footwork and hands. I'd imagine that's got to be about the "easiest" thing to fix. He's got the speed for defense, he's got the range, he's got the athleticism. That stuff is the stuff that hard's to teach. He needs reps and instructions. Yup, still not really sure why they rushed him and then sent him down quickly. Sox need to start letting player growth happen organically. They've wrecked far more prospects than they've groomed.

Kiley should have his updated rankings and mock up today

QUOTE (shipps @ May 27, 2015 -> 04:10 PM) Our current LF and CF arent going anywhere so they can get off that list...but the rest, yeah those need upgrades. Exactly, which is also a big problem. If Eaton and Melky (our teams worst two players right now by WAR) aren't consistently 2-3 win players over the next few years, the Sox need a lot of production out of those other spots to eve sniff the playoffs.

QUOTE (shipps @ May 27, 2015 -> 03:52 PM) Its actually amazing that they have the record they do with that stat. I'm not entirely sure how Rick will fix this. While Ventura isn't near the best manager, the players are massively underachieving. Need upgrades at C, 2B, SS, 3B, LF, and CF. Edit: I really hate thinking about what the Sox could've been if they spent money on Russell Martin and traded for Josh Donaldson instead of what they did.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 27, 2015 -> 03:22 PM) Well, they won, good job. That said, starting to get to the point in the year where you look at pythag and go "this team isn't very good". A 5-3 victory in extras against the Jays is a nice start, but this team has a long way to go to turn it around. 7 of 9 starting players with negative WARs already told me that

lolRobertson

This team is just really bad. No way around it.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 26, 2015 -> 07:49 PM) So was anyone other than me listening to Steve Stone's commentary on why the Blue Jays' efforts to "bring in" a team have failed, how you need to develop a team from the inside, how you need to have your catcher or your shortstop be the smartest guy on the team, use that to drive the development of starting pitching, and then fill in some gaps around that and think... "This sounds like Stone criticizing the White Sox in another form" ? Definitely caught that. What is Tyler's IQ?

They are going to finally cut their losses with Danks after this season right?

I'm optimistic that the Sox can get some pretty nice prospects for their pitching staff

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 26, 2015 -> 09:12 AM) This post is awesome. How do you stop being a fan of a team? Doesn't make sense to me. Yup. These types of fans won't be missed.

QUOTE (BaseballNick @ May 23, 2015 -> 08:55 AM) Tim Anderson was 2-4 with a fielding error, a throwing error, and he was caught stealing. He's game needs a whole lot of polish. That line seems pretty Sox ready to me

Stop swinging at s***ty low and away breaking balls then

Andrew Benintendi is starting to interest me quite a bit

I think he presents a better overall option than JB Shuck at the present time
