QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 03:23 PM) Yeah rarely have I seen the "drops switch hitting" lead to some big results. Especially when it's the right side that is being dropped.

QUOTE (Señor Ding-Dong @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 02:36 PM) I haven't read through the thread, but do we have an inkling on who the PTBNL might be? Nothing. Some guy threw out a guess that it's Tony Kemp but that's all.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 02:35 PM) Another concern is whether he should continue as a switch hitter. That issue may resurface next spring training if he continues to struggle from the right. Certainly his defense has improved in one year so he may eventually solve the RH struggles he is having. The K% is skewed because of the high # from the right side. I'd be willing to bet that he'd be much better batting as a RH vs LHP than he would if he were batting as a LH- even if he's poor as a RHH.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 10:37 AM) One of those dude that started cold so you forget about him, then may end up with a more respectable line than Wily Garcia who got hot early and moved up. Willy, however, proved that he could handle MLB pitching when he got moved up. I'll be interested to see if Rymer can as well.

Looks like Zavala will catch full time now.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 14, 2017 -> 10:15 PM) What about our Soxtalk banner boy Cody Asche ? No point in letting him take ABs from the young guys who are fighting for future spots. He's a good guy to have if you want your AAA team to be competitive, though.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 14, 2017 -> 04:48 PM) FutureSox‏ @FutureSox 2h2 hours ago FutureSox Retweeted Winston-Salem Dash Ryan Burr officially joins the Dash. The Dash bullpen now has two dueling arms, Hamilton and Burr Thanks. I was hoping he'd start at Birmingham.

When/where will Ryan Burr report?

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 14, 2017 -> 01:20 PM) Called up, but struggling to stay above .200 and Ks quite often. *But, has a very healthy OBP and walks often too.

This all reminds me, did we ever get that PTBNL for Bourjos?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 14, 2017 -> 10:07 AM) Is there any other thing besides the one rumor connecting Kemp and the Sox? No. And it wasn't a rumor, it was someone guessing.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 13, 2017 -> 10:43 PM) Fansided reporting the ptbnl is indeed Tony Kemp. Great trade I don't see that anywhere

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Aug 12, 2017 -> 11:35 PM) I know what happened, and I'm not defending it. I'm just saying that calling all the people who voted for Trump "racist" is a terrible thing to do. Why draw conclusions from my comments like that? Ahhh because you wanted to I'm guessing. Not at all what he said. QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 12, 2017 -> 10:06 PM) 60 million Americans voted for a deeply and openly racist man who never apologized for any of it.

This is just a really depressing day for America. No other way for me to put it.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Aug 12, 2017 -> 11:38 AM) Not sure what you're basing that on other than his ERA. 4.97 K/9 to 4.62 BB/9, 5.86 FIP, 6.16 xFIP, 5.81 SIERA. I know he's not very good, but when I said "one of our best relievers", I was more knocking our bullpen than praising Holmberg

QUOTE (Quin @ Aug 12, 2017 -> 10:50 AM) Then yeah, best approach is here. If he likes working with Coop he might come back cheap. Semi-related, but I can really see Anthony Swarzak signing here this offseason.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Aug 11, 2017 -> 09:18 PM) Avi's no slow-poke. He can move for a big fella. Yeah, don't know why he included Avi. He's one of the fastest players we have.

Stephens had a rough night as well
