QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 18, 2015 -> 06:14 AM) It would be nice to see a team take on Melky in July, move Avi to LF, and have two months of Garcia-Eaton-Thompson. Let's see what he has. And/or LaRoche and going with DH rotation with 4 OF starting OF or moving Davidson to third with Gillespie getting at bats at first and third. I know Davidson is struggling but at this point why the hell not? Could put a spark in him.

Its not even a good deal to be honest. It worked 2 years ago when the Sox had a doubleheader the day of the parade and you got access to two games for 15.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 16, 2015 -> 09:17 PM) Phegley had no future with the organization, neither did Ravelo because of Abreu and LaRoche. Only real value they gave up in my opinion is Semien and he has 21 errors in 63 games. Sox had and still might have intentions of extending Shark. Exactly. And if we get something better back (trade/draft pick compensation) that turns out to be better than Semien, that's a win in my book.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 16, 2015 -> 06:42 PM) All started with Alexei because he was actually trying to pull the ball the whole at bat and hits a little nubber in front of home. While I'm not disagreeing, Eaton has ran the bases horribly all season.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jun 16, 2015 -> 08:32 AM) How is it that the Cubs are able to spend wildly again this period, didnt they blow past their limit last year? I believe they blew past their spending 2 years ago and couldn't spend last season/current period.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jun 13, 2015 -> 07:04 PM) Offseaon soxtalk "I love what Rick Hahn has done" "Rick Hahn is awesome" soxtalk now "Hahn is just KWs puppet" Soxtalk if Sox were in first place " Gotta give Hahn a ton of credit for assembling this team" I'm on the side of "I like the moves he's made. They just haven't worked." Nothing else really to it. People should have expected a little regression from guys like Eaton, Abreu and Gillaspie. I don't necessarily put blame on either.

QUOTE (BamaDoc @ Jun 13, 2015 -> 10:05 AM) With so many guys signing and Fulmer unable to sign due to still playing, it makes me think they have a deal in place and just can't announce it. Yeah that deal will likely be announced at conclusion of college world series.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 11, 2015 -> 01:54 AM) to me, a. give it a try and esp see if there is indeed a clause in it. b. i would, and i usually hate this kind of a pat on the back, leak it to the rumors page. this is kind of a show the fans the org hasn't given up. c. better yet announce it in a kind of interview the org been having with the media every few weeks. i still suspect the majority of the fans are still holding out hope of a turn around. Isn't it possible he could waive that clause to help a trade happen? That way he can get more playing time and go to a team with other Cuban born players.

Unable to check platoon splits, but what are his splits against lefties? If they're good, he could be a platoon option at third with Beckham getting at bats at second.

With Cueto and Hamels (and probably Kazmir ) available, Shark probably won't be worth a whole lot no matter how he pitches. Probably to the point where they are better off offering the qualifying offer and him getting at least innings eater money on the open market.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 05:18 PM) Need hitters not pitchers right now. Keep going with pitching until proven otherwise. We never develop any hitting. Wait for someone like Hawkins or Anderson to come up and do damage.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 05:11 PM) Sox really like to rush the good ones dont they... No way whoever it is debuts this season if they aren't competing.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jun 3, 2015 -> 09:09 AM) Hawk & Rowand was great. Steven Stone needs to bow out to Rowand's greatness. Lol just no

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 6, 2015 -> 08:56 PM) The Tigers' announcers saying the numbers are inflated mostly due to travelling Detroit fans. Not watching the game but feel this is probably the case.

If Micah is at second, 2-1 Rangers

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 4, 2015 -> 09:38 PM) Already suggested it in this thread Ah ok sorry. Haven't been following the thread and didn't want to look back.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 4, 2015 -> 09:29 PM) Absolutely brutal swings by Melky from the right side. He might as well hit lefties vs LHP, it can't be worse. Ruggiano got dfa'd today. .263/.343/.474 against lefties this season. Pick him up to platoon with Melky

QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 4, 2015 -> 07:53 PM) excellent and i am glad someone else wrote this. perfect post. Agree

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 31, 2015 -> 05:01 PM) We will be going to 2 games in mid June and are wanting to know if there are any cheaper alternatives than the $20 parking at the stadium? We are staying in the Mount Prospect area so I know we can take the Metra downtown and then take the L to the game (would rather not do that for the night game) but it really wouldn't be cheaper with 2 people. If there are any parking tips please let me know. Thanks! Park on the street in front of Schaller's pump. No sticker or anything required.

[quote name='Dick Allen' date='May 30, 2015 -> 12:48 PM' post='3171463' either way, I don't think it is a very big deal. Would be unfortunate if his knee started bothering him in RF again and had to be taken out. You'd have our best 2 bats out. I'd say that that would be a big deal. Edit: stupid phone always jumps around when I type on this site so I messed something up in the quote.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 30, 2015 -> 12:44 PM) I don't think the Sox see Bonifacio as an OF. Has he played there this season? Coming into the season, I'm pretty sure he only rated above average in RF

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 30, 2015 -> 12:13 PM) Robin is truly stupid. Emilio is DHing and Avi is in RF. This is the PERFECT time to DH Avi and help his knee out more instead of making him run around in the field. Yeah I don't get why he's not dhing...

QUOTE (GreenSox @ May 30, 2015 -> 11:31 AM) Peavy was also considered an injury risk and was 2 years older and was clearly on the decline plane of his career. When Samardzija had 1.5 years left on his contract, his price was much more than Peavy with 1.5 years left on his contract. Plus, Samardzija comes with a comp pick. Peavy didn't Thus an estimate that Samardzija with 1/2 years = Peavy with 1.5 years. If anything, more. False. Once Samardzija is traded, he does not come with a comp pick.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 30, 2015 -> 07:49 AM) GIVE HIM A DAY OFF ROBIN!!!! I imagine LaRoche will be at first and Avi will be at DH if they decide to sit him today.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ May 28, 2015 -> 02:39 PM) I really like what Shuck brings to the table. A good, solid, scrappy player. A lot of people on here seem to complain about him being on the team but every time he plays it seems like hes on base frequently.
