The #Astros also had Jeff Samardzija on their radar, but couldn't afford to wait for #WhiteSox to decide on a course of action. https://twitter.com/jcrasnick/status/624275652238266368 Stupid front office thinking they could win when we knew it was over

Was just about to post this lol

#Pirates looking more and more like natural trade partner with #WhiteSox. Bucs need help at 1B, SS and could use another starter https://twitter.com/scotgregor/status/623552234979217408

Watch as 2015 first-round pick Carson Fulmer makes his debut in the Arizona League: http://t.co/Ah50PBAKTP http://t.co/FwCwbApb5F https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/623502617939804160

Also he's 2-2 sofar today with a home run and single with his average up to .332.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 20, 2015 -> 06:30 PM) Isn't this just following the same path Johnson's always taken? Go to one level and do solid, not great. Repeat the level and dominate. Offensively, he has little left to prove in AAA. Ya he does that alot at the levels. That's why when people were saying that he needed to prove his bat more in AAA this year cause he didn't do alot last year I was like have you seen what he's done in the minors. I figured he was ready offensively for the majors this year and might do a better job when he comes back up hopefully really soon.

Follow up to last one: Micah Johnson has two errors over the last 36 games. NL scout said he's putting in good work in field. #WhiteSox https://twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/623186812467564544

Micah Johnson hitter of week at Triple-A Charlotte for 7/16-19. On fire since 7/2: 417/.456/.681 w/ 3 HRs, 10 BI, 21 runs, 9 steals. https://twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/623179570473267200 Since the sox are going to most likely trade shark and know the aren't going to make a run of it then micah needs to be back up to the majors. I know his defense isn't great but the most overall defense has sorta improved for the sox but what he can possibly contribute to the horrendous offense might be more helpful

Nate Jones headed to Triple-A Charlotte. In uniform tonight. Allowed run, two hits in three innings at Single-A Winston-Salem. #WhiteSox https://twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/623147135362572288

White Sox reliever Nate Jones has been transferred to Triple-A Charlotte to continue his rehab assignment. https://twitter.com/ChiTribKane/status/623143692967235584

Danks is 8-1 with a 2.73 ERA lifetime vs. Royals. Ventura, Cooper have played the right cards with this start tonight. https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/622226156532703234

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 16, 2015 -> 11:23 AM) There is no way Sale doesn't go Sunday. Maybe he's getting traded lol

Once again, Jones was around 100 mph w/ his fastball, which he used on all 8 pitches: 6-3 groundout solo HR to LCF K looking Lineout to LF https://twitter.com/WSDashBaseball/status/621486485728919552

Nate Jones is entering for his third rehab appearance. The Dash lead 5-1, bot 7. Jones has worked a scoreless inning in each of his first 2. https://twitter.com/WSDashBaseball/status/621485079806607361

I'm fine with sale not pitching in the game. Gives him rest and now can pitch against kc this weekend. He had the same thing a couple years ago. Went for the sox and didn't pitch cause it was too close to his last game pitched before the all star game.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 14, 2015 -> 07:04 PM) Any word on Crain?? Haven't heard anything of late. Pitching in Arizona in a rookie league for sox. 6 games, 6.75 era sofar. http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/p...id=crain-001jes

http://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/7/71/76...pitch-star-game Actually in this article cooper really didn't want sale to pitch either. Alot of people was mentioning about pitching the all star game like as a normal side session but I remember a tweet yesterday saying sale hasn't been doing alot of side sessions lately cause of his work load. Also saw that since sale will pitch the all star he might not pitch the games this weekend against the royals and would push him to the cards series.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 13, 2015 -> 01:58 PM) Adam Dunn was better than Sox Adam Dunn prior to his arrival. Who's the last power hitter to actually improve by being on the Sox? I'll go a step further and say who was that last hitter to actually play up to career norm or better with the sox?

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 12, 2015 -> 04:28 PM) Like I said, "leap of faith", "best case scenario". You have to dream a little, but not be kidding yourself. Even if they're 50-50 when they wake up on July 31, they're probably still not going to make the playoffs, but do you think they'll sell? I don't. I think they need to trade shark for sure. Maybe Laroche, Ramirez or a bullpen arm. Bring micah back up to evaluate him the rest of the year. Ej to fill the spot in the rotation. Let saladino get some reps in the infield. Let go or trade of boni.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 12, 2015 -> 04:07 PM) Yes, 49-51. I have the last 32 games against mostly the division at 18-14, at best. That would be 67-65. From July 31-August 30. Best case scenario 18-12. 85-77 for the second wildcard. It's a leap to think they'll play 36-26 after a 49-51 start, but that would be my absolute worst record not to be a seller. Seeing how the sox are 15-25 against their own division I can't see them going 18-14. They need to sell at the deadline.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 12, 2015 -> 04:02 PM) We can't rely on winning many games by only scoring 2-3 runs or teams giving us many unearned runs. We need to trade Samardzija for an mlb ready bat or best offer. Last 12 games including today have scored 35 runs. Less then 3 per game. I agree trade of Shark and maybe some others if they get any value

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 12, 2015 -> 03:57 PM) Next 14: 4 vs KC 2 vs StL 4 at Cle 4 at Bos Have to go 8-6. When/if the 7th loss comes? Sell. Need to do better then that. Going 8-6 would put the sox at 49-51. Sox need to pretty much when mostly series here on out to have a chance.

Jose Quintana is 4-9. White Sox runs scored in the 9 losses: 1-0-1-1-1-0-0-1-1 https://twitter.com/CSNChicago/status/620331908745048064

Honestly the Sox shouldn't think they are going to be able to contend just because they finally got on a sorta hot streak for only the second time of the year. If the team started to do this a month ago then I would wait and see but for how much has gone wrong with this team to turn it around and hope everything good starts happening is going to be pretty hard. After todays game there is going to be 76 games left and they would pretty much need to win about 2/3rds of their games left. Just like they waited too long on getting rid of Alexei, I hope they don't honestly believe they can still contend and try to add or stand pat at the trade deadline. They pitching has been very good but to hope they can sustain a run like this for the rest of the year is pretty hard to do. Defense has gotten better but this is the first time all year they have played this well. The offense is still struggling. Going back to when they started winning more of late was the Cards series they still have only scored 34 runs in 11 games through yesterday and thats an average of 3.09 per game which is below what they have been averaging for the year. They need to trade shark for sure before the deadline since the starting pitching market is getting thin and there are alot of contending teams. If they decide to trade a bullpen piece or someone like LaRoche and can get value back thats fine. Micah should be brought back up if they fully believe he is future at second and evaluate his play for the rest of the year. IF he shows he cant cut it defensively then they will need to know if they have to find a second baseman next year since they could still be a chance for contention.
