In NL games, he would probably only play there for 5-6 innings until LaRoche gets a few at bats, then switch over to first with Gillaspie or Beckham coming in the rest. Probably wouldn't do it on a day you don't need much offense though (Sale pitching).

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 13, 2015 -> 01:08 PM) My guess is it'll be Quintana (Tuesday), Noesi, Danks, Samardzija, Sale. Probably just a reorder due to the off day. I'd personally go: Tues: Quintana Wed: Danks/Noesi Fri: Sale Sat: Shark Sun: Quintana. Gotta throw your best out there to cool down Detroit. Sale and Quintana would be on normal rest.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 13, 2015 -> 09:04 AM) Matt Wieters and Evan Longoria I can see as targets. Longoria is definitely a guy I wouldn't mind the Sox going hard after as he is signed for 8 years with an option for a 9th.

If our catcher is going to suck defensively anyway, might as well start Soto.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 12:08 AM) That is beyond their capabilities. They often appear lifeless and boring when July comes around. Agree. They often seem this way. And thats on the manager in my opinion as Robin also looks like he manages lifeless and boring.

With a day off Monday and Thursday, I would dfa Drabek as the corresponding roster move for Sale. Go with 6 relievers for three games, hope Petricka comes back next weekend and then send down one of Sanchez/Johnson.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 06:34 PM) Shucks a LH...... Who hits good against lefties (small sample size but still)

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 05:04 PM) When Sale and Petricka come back, who gets sent down in their place? I'm guessing Drabek is a lock, but who would be the second guy that gets the boot? Probably Sanchez

A rainout tonight would make it Danks Noesi Sale this weekend? That would set up the rotation everyone expected it to be after they got shark

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 05:43 PM) He'll only be up for a few days until Sale and Surkamp are ready. Not sure if it's him going down first for Sale. Petricka is on dl too right?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 05:15 PM) 6 IP, 11 baserunners... He didn't get hit too hard. Had to at least been 5 bloop singles.

Looks like Tyler is in mid-season form

Marlins looking for pitching. Didn't the Sox and Marlins talk about Danks last July?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 4, 2015 -> 06:22 PM) Which is the risk for any of these long deal. Take the Royals deal with Ventura. On paper it is steal. If he blows out his elbow tomorrow, the Royals are out of luck. $23 mill over 5 years? It would be unlucky for it to happen but it wouldn't hurt them financially

At the time we signed him to the extension, I didn't think he'd be worth it. I was calling to deal him away for whatever (maybe one top prospect then, but I think KW wanted 3) and re-sign Buehrle.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 3, 2015 -> 12:21 PM) Yes. Barring rain- KC- Samardzija, Quintana, Danks Min- Noesi, Samardzija, Sale Cle- Quintana, Danks Det- Sale, Samardzija, Quintana Fixed it to what I think they should/maybe will do

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Apr 1, 2015 -> 02:35 PM) It does work but are the Sox going to have all three lefties follow one another in the rotation? Does it matter if they face 3 separate teams? First game would be against Manny, 2 in a row in Cleveland, and then Sale in Detroit. Doesn't seem like its that big of a deal. It's not like you're throwing 4 lefties in a 4 game series.

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Apr 1, 2015 -> 02:27 PM) Im kinda of thinking Sale 11th and Shark 12th. 4/6 Shark 4/8 Q 4/9 Danks 4/10 Noesi 4/11 Sale 4/12 Shark Starting Sale on the 11 would be a rotation of Sale, Shark, Q, Danks and Noesi which makes sense. The way I explained it works out too. Shark sat, Sale Sun, Q and Danks in Cleveland, then 3-headed monster in Detroit.

QUOTE (3GamesToLove @ Apr 1, 2015 -> 02:15 PM) So much for splitting up the lefties and righties. Samardzija should start on the 11th and Sale on the 12th, then? Not really true. With a 2 games series and 2 days off the second week, they can go Sale Shark and Quintana in Detroit the second weekend series.

QUOTE (LDF @ Apr 1, 2015 -> 12:22 PM) MLB trade rumors has SP - Miguel Gonzalez being outrightes ..... now i think he is avail to anyone. i know i am trying to be very simple here. i screwed up yesterday and i am trying to be correct in what i am reading. btw, i think he would be a real nice addition if this is true. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/04/phil...ppe-aumont.html He wasn't dfa'd I believe. He was just knocked off of the 40 man

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 31, 2015 -> 02:24 PM) With all the secrecy around some guys, I wonder what deals the team is trying to make before the roster moves all come down. Probably whoever we want off the 40 for cash considerations.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 30, 2015 -> 11:32 AM) Cuts are happening right now, with Beck among them. who else?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 29, 2015 -> 05:09 PM) Wilkins is quite a bit closer to a big league player than Black, IMO. I don't think he said otherwise.

They have Andy LaRoche for the roll too

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 29, 2015 -> 10:04 AM) I still wouldn't mind if sox came out and gave to Sanchez. I would appreciate having strong D up the middle when we have horrendous D on the corners. With Micah's stats declining a bit, I'm kind of leaning this way too. And he's already on the 40.
