    Really wish they’d stop resting multiple main starters on the same day.  If they want to take the foot completely off the gas pedal, there are better ways to do it than all these garbage Sunday lineups on the last day of a series.

    This is what I don’t like unless guys are sore and really need it (which I assume is the case). But yeah we have 2 days off this week as well.

    So despite this nice comeback win, we now have a hole in the rotation and even more question marks about our $16 million co-closer who we all thought had just fixed himself the day prior. This team is fucking exhausting. 

    Not quite. We basically have division locked up and don’t need 5 starters. Keuchel answers a question: who do you leave out of a playoff starting rotation.

    He did. He's missed on some things for sure but he's also been the first on some things and has absolutely proven to have credibility. Just cause you're credible and have sources doesn't mean you're going to hit on 100 percent of things.

     

    Agreed. And deals always seem to fall apart so even if you know something can happen soon doesn't mean it always comes together.

    Realizing I'm not sure what our 21-25 roster is right now. Morneau up, Coats down (when was coats up?), Kahnle up?, Rodon to DL, Empty spot?

     

    Kahnle was called up for Rodon but I'd expect him to go back down when they call up a 5th starter to pitch in Rodon's place.

    if they want to actually make the playoffs this year they can't afford to be cheap at the deadline.

     

    What would you be ok giving up for him?

     

    Edit: and exactly. No half ass usual measures.

    I forgot who mentioned it on twitter, but a major writer said that the Dodgers are interested in trading for Puig since Ethier is on his way back.

     

    Not a LH bat, but I think he still can make an impact defensively and in the lineup.

     

    Only question now is, are you interested in him, and what would you give up to acquire him?

     

    He's been hitting better since coming off the dl. Idk what I would give up though. I'd rather give up less and take on Ethier.

    Yeah, not sure any of these would make much sense for us. Maybe Reddick? Except a FA deal would probably take him well into his 30's and involve outbidding a few other teams. Maybe if Gomez's value hits rock bottom after this year's dud, they could take a flier on him with a 1 year deal--dirt cheap--and hope for a bounceback? It would keep Eaton in RF.

     

    I like that Gomez idea. Definitely the type of deal this team would make as opposed to signing someone else to a big deal.

    If that's the going rate, the White Sox probably shouldn't pay him, which kind of forces a trade situation. I don't want to trade him, either, but I get why they would.

     

    Agreed. I mean I like what he's done so far but I don't think he'd be worth that deal.

    Contending for 3-5 years would be a minor miracle.

     

    So let's worry about "half a decade" or merely getting back to the playoffs before the Marlins, Padres or Mariners.

     

    Two of those teams (Miami/Seattle) probably have better opportunities to make it (to the playoffs) than we currently do. It's only SD that is totally screwed, although they'll get some nice pieces back for Drew Pomeranz should they choose to trade him this July.

     

    And Kemp too who is having a nice year.

    anybody with half a brain and two working eyes. His minor league numbers were mediocre offensively and the scouting reports on his defense were brutal -- and he was always very old for his level. That the dude is not in MLB currently and was given a total of 3 PA by the Dodgers should surprise nobody.

     

    I continually railed against the idea of Micah as the starting 2B and I remember only a few were on my side.

     

    Makes you wish you could go back in time as a GM and try including Johnson in the deal over Semien.
