So what do you think sale to Boston with Betts, swihart, Bradley coming back

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 07:29 PM) I've supported Hahn because he seems like a smart, good person. But the results speak for themselves. Honestly if would like to see what Hahn can do with some good organization. Reinsdorf has his hand in too much and Kenny is always right there

Problem is how long can the Sox still wait for him to be ready. Probably needs to do a showcase then wait to see the offers. Will need to probably go to minors to get ready.

The million dollar question is what Manager could take this current team and start winning with it. Latos is pitching his way out of the rotation. The bullpen is throw a dart at the board to see who pitches cause no one is doing their job. You have a aging short stop and a utility player rotating a SS. You have a catcher who does better framing but can't hit and the other one who can't frame well but is slightly better hitter. You have a rotating dh of Shuck and Garcia with no better solution. When you lose players to injury there's no depth to back them up. You have one of you best players underperforming. This team has had hole for years not but have been patching it together to hopefully better performance. Don't have the minors to produce good position player for the major league team. Saladino is the only home grown player at the majors. They either have to trade to fill in the gaps at the major league roster or go dumpster diving at the free agency level cause they don't give out and lump of money to get the better players. Should robin go probably. Make a shack up to see if it awakens the player but it's not a guarantee fix. It starts at the top for accountability and goes down from there.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 10:37 PM) If nothing gets done after another Shields implosion and former two-time prospect Gio Gonzalez throws a no-hitter and the Royals sweep them again at USCF... What would it actually take? Will Carlos Sanchez be recalled to hit 5th and DH tomorrow? I think scherzer gets the perfect game then the no hitter by gio lol

This team could load the bases with no outs and some how end up with negative runs lol

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 10:06 PM) They basically made Garcia a platoon player though. They knew what he is. He was going to start at DH vs LHP. Tho they face RH pitching most of the time so having Garcia makes alot of sense on the bench

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 10:15 PM) Desmond also came with a draft pick... Well the draft pick will go nicely with all the prospects we get from trading away the veteran players

4 million more and could of had miller instead of duke. 6 million more could of had Desmond instead of rollins. Desmond is playing pretty freaking awesome right now

QUOTE (soxfan85 @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 09:50 PM) We are going to trade our whole farm for him. And as soon as he buttons up his White Sox jersey, he will suck. Well he's will fit right in.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 09:44 PM) Surprise, another lefty reaches base against DUKIE. It has become the opposite of Melky Cabrera against LHP last year. Just abysmal this past month. But hey, that $5 million is much better spent on him than player development/talent procurement. Where's Andrew miller when you need him

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 08:51 PM) Latos can't wait to give the lead up. He has the Peavy itis when he was with the Sox. Sox score and the Peavy would give the lead up

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 08:50 PM) Yea but Soxtalk threads hold more weight. Just admit it man, you're inaccuracies will be exposed otherwise. So says you

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 08:42 PM) He's not coming up all year no matter what. There's a thread here saying so. Hahn said they expected him in minors but he's one of those type of players that can force the hand

To clarify any confusion or misinterpretation, here's Rick Hahn's full quote on Tim Anderson: https://t.co/yK1RGhJcI3 https://twitter.com/ChuckGarfien/status/740323030849757184

QUOTE (CB2.0 @ Jun 6, 2016 -> 09:44 AM) Sox SP: #6 in MLB in ERA (#1 in AL - also ER and R) #3 in MLB in CG #5 in MLB in SHO (#1 in AL) #7 in MLB in QS #11 in MLB in BAA #5 in DIP% You get the idea... And we had Gas Can Danks for the first month. Another SP is nice and all, and I'm glad we didn't get fleeced in the deal, but this was hardly a top priority when you look at it. Yes but when you have 2 questions marks in gonzalez and Latos plus a wild a times Rodon you need a steady pitcher to go along with sale and Quintana that can eat innings and somewhat save the pen. Was it a priority no but sox would have been needing a starter anyway for now and future.

With grim #MLB trade deadline ahead for starting pitchers, #WhiteSox adopt wise strategy: Don't wait https://t.co/pFuQp7HLeW https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/739808167404535808 Makes a good point. Basically sox needed a workhorse starter and with there being limited pitchers out there for the deadline possibly and next year it shores up a spot the Sox would be looking for in the future anyway. Even when fulmer comes up and Latos leaves they would have been short in rotation. For the value of shields this year and next 2 if he doesn't opt out should be good for the sox as long as he keeps eating innings and pitches decent.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 5, 2016 -> 10:28 AM) Miguel Gonzalez is available out of the pen today. Finally have a long man out of the pen

#WhiteSox have acquired veteran RHP James Shields and cash considerations from the Padres in exchange for Erik Johnson & Fernando Tatis Jr. https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/739200997063569409 Sox make it official

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 04:00 PM) He can't do math. The #Padres will pay $29 million and #Whitesox pay $27 million left in James Shields deal https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/739199974609539072

So if James Shields does not opt out of deal, #WhiteSox will pay $27 million and #Padres pay $19 of the remaining $56 M in deal https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/739199563936845824

The #Whitesox are paying $27 million of the remainder of James Shields contract https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/739198695036489728

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 03:49 PM) Rosenthal confirms. Sucks we had to give up Tatis Hopefully people don't start doing the why we gave up Tatis like why we have with thompson for frazier
