QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 5, 2017 -> 09:55 AM) Both will be gone by August 1st. Hopefully. Edit: it is now hitting me that that is only 27 days from now. Where has time gone?

Don't see either bringing back much but any team can do worse than Melky at LF or DH. I hope the Sox are willing to eat cash if that's what it takes. Considering we are half way through the season, neither is really owed much anymore.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 3, 2017 -> 09:34 PM) If Willy has options, I send him down. If not, Engel. Willy still has options.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 2, 2017 -> 10:57 PM) Caulfield with all due respect Frazier, Holland, Shields and Cabrera are not going to bring anything. MAYBE an NL team that needs a pinch hitter would take Frazier, maybe. Think about it. You are a contender you make the trade and these guys show up. You really are going to immediately insert Frazier, Cabrera into the lineup and shields or Holland into the rotation? That could be immediate buzzkill and send a team reeling. If I were a team in contention, I'd have no issue inserting Melky into my lineup.

Great...this guy's in the news again. Go back to drinking and shooting things with your kid.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jun 30, 2017 -> 03:47 PM) With the cushion of 9.5 games in the nl east the nats do not have to rush a move. They certainly will need to upgrade the bullpen via trade by the deadline though. Their mindset is why buy now when there might be more options in a month? Yep.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 30, 2017 -> 01:36 PM) They will play tonight. My only concern is what time it will start haha if it's like yesterday (or even half as bad) I'd probably just leave.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 30, 2017 -> 01:22 PM) I have second row seats for tomorrow, so a doubleheader would be pretty awesome from my standpoint. Not unless it was a day/night double header where one game is say at noon and the other is at 6 or 7 and they let the ballpark clear out in between. A straight doubleheader on the other-hand... I have tickets for tonight and I really don't want to sit through a long rain delay only for it to get PPD or a >9PM start time.

Any chance this game gets called by say 6pm with the option of being able to play 2 tomorrow or Sunday? Supposed to thunderstorm tonight.

Yeah most Millenials suck (coming from a Millenial).

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 30, 2017 -> 11:17 AM) Good point, if Anderson is terrible, he's not good. What a concept! haha

Wow, found a deal for Vegas where you can stay at the Linx for $40 a night through Groupon. Right on the strip. Not bad.

The Nats might have to make a trade for a MI now like Cozart. He could hold down SS until Turner comes back and then he can be on the bench/Turner can move back to the OF. Can see maybe a Lowrie + Madson move as one of their moves for a RP. And then pursue a Robertson deal. Probably would still have to add another arm even after those 2 moves.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 30, 2017 -> 09:38 AM) The Cubs may need Q worse than anyone else, but I don't see them being willing to pay what it would take for Hahn to be able to do that deal. I think the Cubs would find a better price for a guy like Archer than they would for Q. There's a very good chance Archer won't be available. There probably aren't many "guys like Archer" that will be available. And if Archer were, he would cost a lot as well more than likely.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 30, 2017 -> 09:22 AM) Putnam's arm is held together with gum and paperclips, but he's a great reliever when he's the mound. Petricka has never really impressed me. Decent velocity, ball moves a bit, but it's nothing special. He has the look of a run of the mill AAAA reliever. Maybe I'm wrong on that. Agreed 100%. I've just never been huge on the guy for some reason.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 29, 2017 -> 02:04 PM) Wish we had traded Petricka and Putnam when we had the chance. When exactly was that chance? They were both hurt most of last season with limited value in off-season (also due to injury history) and both have barely pitched this season.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jun 29, 2017 -> 10:46 PM) At this point, I think it is an ownership issue. Rizzo had a deal in place for Robertson once already and it was shot down. It seems that their payroll is really tight and they don't want to give up the prospects for the Sox to eat money. I agree. It would appear to be an ownership thing. They didn't want to pay additional salary in December and now they don't seem to want to pay additional prospects along with some cash.

The only way I could see packaging Quintana and Robertson together and getting that proposed offer would be the Sox not eating any money on Robertson. If the Sox ate some of Robertson's remaining contract, I would think another piece would be included.

Yankees should still have Gardner, Ellsbury, Judge and Hicks who gets semi-regular at bats this season. They can start rotating them at the DH spot eventually but Holliday should also be back at some point. Granted, it's not 100% that they will all remain healthy once they all grt healthy and back to MLB level.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 29, 2017 -> 01:30 PM) That sounds almost too easy! Now I might as well do it. Which hard drive did you get? I'll check the brand later, but the size of it is 2 TB. That should work just fine.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 29, 2017 -> 03:49 PM) Obviously it doesn't effect anything, just odd that you're giddy over a bad outcome for the organization because of an Italian beef sandwich. I really don't think the Sox will even end up trading him regardless (even if I think that they should).

Currently 5th pick, but we are tied with the Reds in the standings who would be the 4th pick.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 29, 2017 -> 12:14 PM) Can you get a good seat on the lower level for under 40 bucks? Yep and you can also pay for a $7 ($5 on Sundays) ticket and sit behind the dugout most of the games.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 29, 2017 -> 11:30 AM) Decent chance this game ends after midnight. Gonna start calling you Flavum Skilling.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jun 29, 2017 -> 10:26 AM) Dustin Fowler has indeed been called up by the #Yankees. They plan to announce it later. https://twitter.com/Joelsherman1/status/880417085209366528 Thanks.
