In my MLBTS simulation (wearing the black uniforms, obviously), with attributes changed to reflect current hot streaks, the White Sox won 14-1. Sale allowed 5 hits and struck out 11 in a CG, Melky went 4-5 with 3 doubles and 5 RBIs, and Saladino went 2-4 with a HR and a BB. I'd laugh at all this a couple weeks ago, but it's actually a semi-realistic score with this offense.

Sox acquire: Yasiel Puig Austin Barnes Blayne Weller Diamondbacks acquire: Tyler Flowers Chris Hatcher Dodgers acquire: Cody Regis Frank Montas Micah Johnson Tyler Danish Erik Johnson

It's very quiet. Almost too quiet. Makes me think something huge is in the works.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 11:17 AM) Nothing but will be told how hard they tried. I think it will either be this, or they come out of nowhere with a huge, blockbuster deal for a huge name like Puig or Frazier.

I'm excited. Nightengale is very reliable. I agree with all of you saying that we're working on something big.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 10:34 AM) I just want to hear some rumors and names connected to the Sox! Same. It's too quiet.

This would be great, but it's not very realistic.

I thought the Brewers backed out because of something with Wheeler? edit- getting my trades mixed up. That was the Dodgers trade that didn't go through

So Eaton would play RF? I don't like that

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 11:13 PM) Just what we need. Also brings an edge that I kind of like. He's an asshole but an asshole you like if he's on your team. Just like AJ

We'd probably want to trade Avi so we don't have to carry an extra OF. Unless you want to option Shuck to AAA. And can Gomez play RF? Or will Eaton?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 10:37 PM) He's going to add AJP Even though it's Rock, I'm going to assume/hope this is a joke.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 10:49 PM) Every AL team has played at least 100 except the Sox... 100-game records... KC 61-39 NY 57-43 Hou 55-45 LAA 55-45 Min 52-48 -- Bal 51-49 Tor 50-50 Sox 50-50 or 49-51 TB 49-51 Det 48-52 Tex 48-52 Cle 46-54 Sea 46-54 Bos 44-56 Oak 44-56 I'm going to assume the worst team after 100 games has never been as high as 44-56 before. Lots of parity. You may be right.

So why was Flores crying... what

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 10:06 PM) Nate and his funky delivery accounts for a lot of walks, as well. At least Webb battled back. Was he ever a starter in his career? He was lights out there after he got warmed up, after walking two guys. Shouldn't Webb be a starter in the minors with his ultimate goal starting in the bigs? I believe his delivery and stuff is too effort-y to be a starter.

7 straight, 49-50, 2.5 GB WC

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 10:05 PM) What? 55 runs in 7 games

QUOTE (Luziaparicio @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 09:56 PM) Opponent is irrelevant. It's goin down ! But it was a damn good post... everyone (except Garcia) getting hot at the same time, gotta love it!

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 10:03 PM) WWWWWWW QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 10:04 PM) WWWWWWW Ha, beat you to it!

49-50, 2.5 GB

WWWWWWW

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 10:02 PM) And Saladino does walk? He has 4 in his last 6 games. Or 6 in his last 4. Idk, I'm going off what Hawk said

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 10:01 PM) Hey it's always a good idea to upgrade. Lots of relievers out there for trade more than likely. I still think we should look at Joe Thatcher, who's a FA

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 09:58 PM) Maybe a reliever isnt a bad idea Good thing this is our worst one

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 09:48 PM) That's gotta sting for the Astros If I were him, I'd rather go to Houston. Better future and frankly better present
