Jose Abreu

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 18, 2016 -> 11:35 AM) Wait, what? The last time that the Sox had a real top 10 in all of baseball prospect was Jon Rauch. Carlos Rodon was top-10 last year actually, but I agree with you *midseason

QUOTE (Tony @ May 17, 2016 -> 10:43 PM) Absolutely not. When the Sox went to Spring Training in 2016, they had a set payroll they were comfortable with, and it included being in the final year of contracts with both LaRoche and Danks. The point is the front office was prepared to pay LaRoche and Danks in full. The only thing that changed was 13 million removed from that equation when LaRoche left. As Rowand send, Danks was a sunk cost the entire time, they were prepared to pay it anyway. Ah, I see. Thanks

I'll take the blown save!

QUOTE (Tony @ May 17, 2016 -> 06:43 PM) Yeah, that's not really how finances work. That money was already paid to Danks and on the payroll, whether he was on the roster or not. Him being cut would have no affect on the LaRoche money that didn't have to be paid. No, I know that. I'm saying theoretically, isn't the money we "saved" by LaRoche's retirement essentially cancelled out by Danks' paid salary, given that neither player is on the team?

What I'm wondering is why Rollins and Navarro were pulled

Rollins/Navarro got pulled

Chicago White Sox ‏@whitesox 44s44 seconds ago Some position changes: Alex Avila takes over at catcher Tyler Saladino moves to shortstop Carlos Sanchez takes over at 3rd base.

I don't mind. Albers hasn't been very good lately

Wonder how Robin will defend calling for a bunt after the pitcher had thrown 8 straight balls with a hot hitter up

QUOTE (fathom @ May 17, 2016 -> 09:31 PM) Such an easy out now. I miss 2014 first half Abreu Have you watched the game tonight?

f***ing rollins

This dude completely lost the zone

Chuck Garfien ‏@ChuckGarfien 12s12 seconds ago Saladino has been great with runners in scoring position. White Sox should have let him hit away, in my opinion.

Saladino was a much better bunter last year

8 straight balls, many of which were nowhere near the zone...

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ May 17, 2016 -> 09:14 PM) It gets old to see every pitcher get down 1-0, 2-0 to these guys. Hard to not do so when the ump can't call a strike

squeezed...

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 17, 2016 -> 04:39 PM) The top one is everything. If no one is willing to sell yet, there is no one to buy from. This is where you really hope the LaRoche money comes in handy so we can take on salary if needed. Isn't that what we used on Danks, though?

Bob Nightengale ✔ ‎@BNightengale There now are no Latino managers in #MLB, but that should change with #WhiteSox bench coach Rick Renteria getting rave reviews.

2016 AL ERA Leaders (starters): 1. Jose Quintana (1.54) 2. Chris Sale (1.67)

FWIW he is hitting over .350 in AAA. I know, it's not worth much. Regardless, I think that this acquisition is aptly emblematic of middle class values this organization was founded upon. (had to be the first to make that reference!)

Many posters have been yearning for a situational runner on the bench, like Leury Garcia. This guy may be even faster
