Sox send Frazier/DRob/Kahnle to NY ~ Rutherford/Clarkin/Clippard/Polo
QUOTE (WBWSF @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 01:14 PM) He not only sucks but trading our best bullpen man (David Robertson) for him was nuts. Is there anybody in this bullpen as good as Robertson? Jones. And Kahnle had more trade value than Robertson due to the team control

**Game 3 of 162: Sox at Toronto**
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 09:25 PM) Why are we worried about it at this stage? For a couple of other washouts signed on MiLB deals? Meh. Those washouts are at least younger and more appealing (Gomez due to past success, Rondon due to his fastball). Farquhar doesn't serve a purpose

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 09:14 PM) And Charlotte is loaded with experienced arms to replace him. I personally wouldn't give up on him yet, but to each their own. Why? He's 31 and a known commodity. Won't be here long term, zero trade value. He's another Tyler Clippard. I'd prefer someone with the upside of Gomez or Rondon who, possibly, could at least get an AJ Puckett type at the deadline

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 08:57 PM) Farquhar must be good with the youngsters. If he does help them, he is worth keeping around, but garbage time should be more his slot. Yeah, would've liked to see Infante, Minaya, or Soria there

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 08:47 PM) I think you can ask for the Eaton deal, but you might not get it. They did ask for the Eaton deal, and that's why he's still on the White Sox

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 08:31 PM) Well, I've heard Ricky's boys don't quit. This would be a nice time for them to prove it. I mean, they also proved it the last two games haha

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 08:31 PM) Isn’t Jones the SU man? He's the closer/guy who faces the heart of the order

Someone remind me why Farquhar made the team over Gomez and Rondon?

2018 White Sox catch-all thread
QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 04:29 PM) I can forgive him for a mistake. I just wish they'd have found a way to dump Shields. Pay half his salary or something to get him out of The Cell or Grate Field. They probably will get rid of him somehow next month when Kopech is up, depending on how Fulmer is doing

The Sox have won 6 of their last 7 in Toronto. A major difference from our past ways

How the Sox are trying to perfect tanking
It's well-written but I don't agree with the constant use of the word 'tanking'. I don't think the Sox were actively trying to lose games last season, and I also believe that the word has a connotation that the future is bleak for the team in question.

**Game 3 of 162: Sox at Toronto**
QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 10:07 AM) I'm sure Tim Anderson is happy. No doubt we'll likely see the fireworks with those two later on in the season though. I would imagine that Tim would actually want to face him. After all, he did triple in the Stroman game after the initial incident
-
Of the players that could be dealt at the deadline who do you want to
There is Rodon, who can come back and have a great 4 months. His injury history likely hurts his trade value, but if Hahn knows we're gonna get Boras'd anyway, we might as well get something for him

**Game 3 of 162: Sox at Toronto**
QUOTE (Scoots @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 09:42 AM) Toronto should prove to be a little more of a challenge than KC. We get Toronto's number 5, 1 and 2 starters. Looking for a 2 games out of 3 series win from the Sox. Tonight is one of those wins. We don't exactly get their 5/1/2 because Stroman pitched yesterday, so we'll miss him

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 09:25 AM) All jokes aside, I would have to change my underpants if the Cubs traded Contreras for Castillo. That would never happen obviously. Contreras is honestly the best player on their roster, in my opinion. Maybe "most valuable" would be better, but his defense may put him over Bryant to me

Delmonico... is on the bench. Leury Garcia

Any interest in Y.Tomas after he clears waivers?
Yes. He proved in 2016 that he is a solid MLB hitter and just needs the opportunity to get ABs

Sox Winner!!
It's nice to have hope when we're down by multiple runs late in games. This team has that comeback vibe about them
