60-day DL stint will also open a spot on the 40 for a reliever.

Since he's on the 40-man, won't he accrue service time for going on the major league dl?

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Feb 23, 2018 -> 12:44 PM) Kevin Powell @kpowell720 now Hahn: Micker Adolfo has UCL sprain in throwing arm. #WhiteSox Chris Kuc @ChrisKuc now Another injury setback for White Sox outfield prospect Miker Adolfo. Elbow strains will sideline him at least six weeks. Surgery is possible. Womp womp He's apparently our Jorge Soler.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 23, 2018 -> 10:46 AM) What about Cordell? He'll be 26 years old. It's time for him to s*** or get off the pot? We have CF for him, possible trade/release of CarGo depending on if he is good or bad, possible trade of Garcia, possible struggles of young guys getting early at bats and being sent to minors (Tilson, Engel, Delmonico, etc.).

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Feb 23, 2018 -> 10:41 AM) young DH development is something i'm gonna sacrifice. Nicky is the only one you want securing at-bats, and he has a little positional versatility...so that's going to work out ok. Davidson is far from needing to be any kind of every day player for me. We know what he is. Yeah and he and CarGo can share the DH spot in a straight platoon. Make Davidson earn every day at bats.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 23, 2018 -> 10:33 AM) So if everything goes right, a previously pretty highly rated prospect who was struggling at the time of the trade. I'd take that.

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Feb 23, 2018 -> 09:07 AM) Maybe so, but I thought it was worth posting. For sure as I honestly think he's a fit.

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Feb 23, 2018 -> 08:27 AM) I haven't found a link to the article from Heyman, but he says the Sox are looking at CarGo as well. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/02/heym...nn-arrieta.html I read this as more of a suggested landing spot than the Sox actually having interest.

QUOTE (wrathofhahn @ Feb 23, 2018 -> 08:08 AM) Pretty much a guarantee we are talking less then a handful I can't remember another guy other then Stras. And Stras still got paid very well for a guy with pretty checkered injury history. It wasn't like a huge discount for a guy throwing 200+ innings consistently in his career.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Feb 23, 2018 -> 12:28 AM) I've always like CarGo. I think he would be fun on like a 2 yr/$16M deal or something. I'd be cool with this. He would only really be taking at bats away from Davidson.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Feb 22, 2018 -> 07:12 PM) Why are these five along with Moustakas the only five options? Why can’t we trade for someone when the time is right if necessary. The Giants just acquired a very comparable player in Longoria. I could see Kyle Seager becoming available at some point in the near future. These markets are dynamic and with the amount of teams rebuilding players who were once considered off-limits may become available. Great post. Guys we don't expect to be options can be options.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Feb 22, 2018 -> 03:35 PM) I read 2 paragraphs on that same thing last year and am 100% clinging to him "figuring something out" so we can dump him & ease the pain of giving up a top 10 prospect for him. He started pitching with that angle towards the end of the year but I can't remember how long it was for.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 22, 2018 -> 03:12 PM) 670 The Score‏Verified account @670TheScore 1h1 hour ago #WhiteSox righty James Shields aims to reinvent himself and has made adjustments to his delivery, writes @MLBBruceLevine http://cbsloc.al/2CC9dpy How many starts was it last season where he threw on that 3/4 angle? I feel like he wasn't that bad to end last year.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 22, 2018 -> 01:25 PM) Once he goes through the 7 (was just changed in last CBA) days, he can then be waived. Gotcha. Having said that, I figured a team would trade for him though.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 22, 2018 -> 01:00 PM) He was designated for assignment, not waived. This. The Rays had 10 days to find a trade partner or he would become a free agent. He wasn't placed on waivers.

The only reason looking at specific time frames makes sense if you are looking to see how a player was doing before and after an injury.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 22, 2018 -> 10:36 AM) Why did it take forever for Darvish to sign? Why isn't Arrieta signed? Do they need to be better players? Same agent. Similar problem, only everyone can use pitchers. And as you said, there are teams on the sidelines trying to stay under the luxury tax to reset their penalties. It's a pretty big reason that people seem to be brushing off.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 21, 2018 -> 11:11 AM) I just kinda think he's Ross Gload. That actually wouldn't be a bad thing.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Feb 21, 2018 -> 03:25 PM) I just don't see any reason for him to sign for that low AND that long. If it's that much of a steal, I could be comfortable with it, there's just no reason for him to do it. If he ends up having to settle for $12mm/yr, it'll be for 1-2 years. But yeah man, I don't even know if we're really on other sides of this fence if that's the price you have in mind. That could end up being his best offer. I just don't know how many other teams need a 3B or could potentially be done rebuilding in a year.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Feb 21, 2018 -> 02:59 PM) Kopech is starting on Monday, the game is webcast at 2pm......and I'm off work. :wub: Hell, I'll be working and still watching lol

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Feb 21, 2018 -> 01:51 PM) If you strike out on Machado you move on to Arenado, not Donaldson. You wait a year?

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Feb 21, 2018 -> 01:39 PM) You keep saying that, but I don't know why. He put up 2.2 fWAR last year and both Steamer and ZiPS project him at 2.5. A league average player is "roughly 2 WAR." Ok, maybe he's slightly above? He's within rounding error of a league average player. Where did you get this number?

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Feb 21, 2018 -> 11:30 AM) I think I’m leaning towards throwing a bunch of money at Donaldson for a few years instead of less money to Moose for more years. Gives us the chance to see if Burger tears it up in 2028 or not. What year did you mean here?
