Early Trade Speculation
I wonder who we could realistically look to take on without giving up much. I know he's hurt, but maybe Ethier? We pay most of his salary this year (possible with LaRoche money freed up) and Dodgers pay most next year? Edit: just checked the stats of their outfielders. Pederson and Thompson are only ones hitting so they may get use out of him at some point.

5/3 Game thread: Boston, 7:10pm, CSN
QUOTE (bmags @ May 3, 2016 -> 06:48 PM) Highly doubt here will be more than 20 k here based off early returns in the park Looks like you may be correct.

5/3 Game thread: Boston, 7:10pm, CSN
QUOTE (SCCWS @ May 3, 2016 -> 04:53 PM) Boston's starting pitching is awful except for Porcello who we miss. However their closer is lights out so we do not want to get to the ninth behind. Obviously they hit the hell out of the ball. Ironically, they also lead the majors in stolen bases which is totally out of character for a Red Sox team. Perfect that we miss Porcello and Price.

Danks DFA'd
QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 3, 2016 -> 03:56 PM) He'll find a home on an NL team. You better believe there are a bunch of fanbases out there who want to give him a shot. Padres after they trade Cashner and/or Ross in July.

Danks DFA'd
It's completely possible they tried to move him to long relief and just didn't want to.

Danks DFA'd
QUOTE (aboz56 @ May 3, 2016 -> 03:31 PM) Good riddance. Never liked the contract extension from day one. He's been stealing money for years. At the time, I wanted them to trade him to the Yankees and re-sign Buehrle.

2016 MLB catch all thread
QUOTE (shysocks @ May 2, 2016 -> 10:41 AM) Shelby Miller is averaging fewer than 4 innings per start, has a 1:1 K/BB ratio, and boasts an 8.49 ERA. That trade has the potential to be the most lopsided in decades. It's exciting. He's on my fantasy team. Dropped that guy Sunday.

Finding A Trade Partner for Ryan Braun
QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 3, 2016 -> 01:10 PM) You have to draw the line somewhere. I used to be anti any PED guys. Then I figured there were most likely plenty I really like that just haven't been dumb enough to get caught. Plenty I probably suspect that are clean, etc. So his PED bust wouldn't be a deal breaker for me, although it would play into the return. The deal breaker would be how he tried to sell an innocent guy down the river. Total lack of character. Agreed 100%. The PED issue isn't a big deal anymore for me (let's be honest. One of our hottest hitters we've all been backing this year used them). The other stuff you said makes him a giant douche.

John Danks should never start for the White Sox again
QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 2, 2016 -> 10:33 AM) He's sucked for many years, and is coming off hip surgery. Expecting much out of him IMO is a huge reach. I actually think Gonzalez, Johnson, and Turner are better choices. Give him a minor league deal with an opt-out and give everyone a shot after a couple more Danks starts. Like you mentioned above, the other alternative aren't doing much anyway.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ May 1, 2016 -> 03:32 PM) 7-1 should be 12-1. Good thought let's end this b**** With the way Sale pitched there could have been more runs on their side too.

Any chance we see a rotating DH/SS spot of Rollins (maybe start 2-3 times a week at short, also get DH at bats against righties), Saladino, Sanchez, and Sands?

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 1, 2016 -> 10:30 AM) I really hope the rain doesn't f*** with Sale's rhythm. It would suck if there was a long rain delay say after the second or third and when they came back, he was out. Though if it gets called before it starts I doubt it will have any effect.

Jason >>>>>>>>>>> Hawk
QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 05:21 PM) It kind of felt like going back to work a Monday after a vacation vs. any other Monday. It sets in and you're like, "oh, this again". I'm sure it was 100% Hawk's decision to cut back, but with them both doing the games, you can't help but compare. Wow that's literally the perfect analogy and exactly how I feel.

Might as well get Carlos a start at second while he's up.

4/28 Game thread: @ Baltimore, 6:05pm, CSN
QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 11:04 PM) I would be surprised if Danks gets another start. He may make another since Gonzalez can't be called up for like 9 days (unless someone else comes up).

4/28 Game thread: @ Baltimore, 6:05pm, CSN
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 09:22 PM) Seems like the White Sox would have been better off throwing a motivated Miguel Gonzalez against his former team, but that would still have meant sacrificing one of the Blue Jays games and maybe that series doesn't end up as more than one win. In retrospect, it's hard to imagine Erik Johnson doing MUCH worse...or Beck. Then again, maybe not. On 2 days rest? Nah

4/27 Game thread: @ Toronto, 6:07pm, CSN
QUOTE (ronkark @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 01:42 AM) I don't know about resting everyone but Sanchez prob needs a start and Navarro needs a rest. And have Lawrie or Frazier sat at all? Not that I want to but maybe Saladino for one of them. Love the way they're playing. And love the gesturing to the dugout. They're having fun. Looks like a great mix. Lawrie didn't look too good this last series. Maybe give him a day off?
