QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Sep 26, 2016 -> 07:32 AM) I talked with Scott Merkin this weekend via DM on twitter. He said if he had to guess, he'd think it would be Renteria or McEwing as next manager but that could change obviously. He also said Don Cooper is 100% back. McEwing? Don't like that...

It's just hard for me to comprehend, and I feel very similarly to how I felt when Taveras passed in 2014. Because, it's not just like he blew out his elbow and he'll never pitch again. He's gone, not just from pitching but from living, stripped of the opportunity to father the child his wife/girlfriend is pregnant with, and it's just horrible all around.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Sep 25, 2016 -> 04:04 PM) An old rock and roller like me finds this statement funny. Caveat:I have no idea who any of these artists are so for all I know there could be jazz, rock , big band and country and classical music represented but I highly doubt it. It's just rap, pop, and electronic (or whatever Skrillex is classified as) so I don't know what that post meant

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Sep 25, 2016 -> 02:53 PM) RV brings in DR give him a chance to finish......................can't wait for RV to be gone. He had 108 pitches

Rodon sharp thru 6+

Granted, Fernandez is already up there but he was still improving

Very tragic. I bet Jose Fernandez and Oscar Taveras would have been two of the best players in the game 5 years from now.

Eaton

Apparently he'll be visiting his family in Cuba shortly after the season, too

Sale sucks today

Ron Gardenhire

Signing Josh Reddick as our big ticket FA move would be so White Sox.

Saladino

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Sep 19, 2016 -> 10:41 PM) I'm not sure what you're arguing. I don't want to waste $5M on Brett Lawrie. Whether we're rebuilding or going for it, I'd rather start Saladino. If we were to go for it, I sure as s*** wouldn't waste $5M on a 2B when we have gaping holes in CF, DH, & C. And quite frankly, we're not going to be legit contenders next year if we don't sign one of those guys I mentioned in my previous post (among other moves). I'm not suggesting that's going to happen, but am implying that's what it's going to take to turn this team into a winner. Again, wasting a chunk of our limited financial flexibility on a position of low need would be incredibly foolish. What part of my argument do you disagree with exactly? I don't disagree with anything you said in this post. I was just saying that the odds of us landing one of Cespedes/Encarnacion/Trumbo are extremely slim. Boston or New York or someone will pay them the world.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Sep 19, 2016 -> 09:53 PM) Cespedes, Encarnacion, Bautista, Trumbo, Fowler, Desmond, & Reddick. You're dreaming if you think we get any of those guys. Cespedes will stay with NYM, Encarnacion will sign some outrageously large contract, Trumbo too... Sure maybe we'll get Bautista/Reddick as consolations but it's not like they're that good anymore regardless

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Sep 19, 2016 -> 08:56 PM) So I take it you're all for rebuilding then? How do you expect this team to get better if you don't plan on signing any free agents? BTW, there are several DH/OF types that could help us next year. If we decide to "go for it" I'd rather commit my resources to one of them than Lawrie when we have a cheap in-house option place for 2B. Uh... who?

Yeah, Rodon needs to be on a pitch limit. 90 MPH fastball Rodon is way worse than 98 MPH fastball Rodon.

Eaton

In fact, aside from the ATL start, Sale would have a 2.76 ERA

Sale's start against Atlanta really ruined things for him

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Sep 17, 2016 -> 10:21 AM) Rollins had the job the second he signed. He was going to start unless he died on the field in Arizona. Exactly. That's why I was so annoyed by the signing. If we were really going for it, we wouldn't be starting a declining 37 year-old SS who doesn't provide anything above average aside from leadership skills.

This dude can hit. I want him starting next year. Lawrie can be traded
