QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Apr 15, 2017 -> 02:38 PM) So you don't think Q's value has gone down from the end of spring training to now? If any, very very very litle. It's the second week of the season. Ask again in July.

Only his second bad start. No more of these though.

Does this bullpen have a long reliever?

Who was the sticking point in the Astros deal again? Martes?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 14, 2017 -> 09:52 PM) Farmer claims all four of his pitches looked good. Why did the A's let him go? Injury last year? He was left off 40-man and selected in Rule 5 draft so they didn't really let him go.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 14, 2017 -> 08:21 PM) Pretty sure I learned in 3rd grade you don't make the first or third out of the inning at 3rd base. You'd be complaining if it was the second out. Guarantee it.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Apr 14, 2017 -> 07:44 PM) Different sport, but I don't get a super Homer vibe from Pat Foley & Eddie O on the Hawks games. They definitely call the game from the Hawks perspective, but I don't think they do it with blinders. I think it's possible in baseball. There are two teams out there and plenty of time, so a little research and some stories about the other team from time to time would be nice. That duo is a great example.

QUOTE (mataipaepae @ Apr 14, 2017 -> 03:28 PM) StI'll don't understand why race is pertanant? I don't think he meant anything by it. Where's PC Principal when you need him.

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Apr 14, 2017 -> 01:25 PM) #MASGARCIAS the rest of the lineup incase anyone cares about it All Garcia OF Lineup It's happening!

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 14, 2017 -> 12:31 PM) Rabbit posted this on twitter That's for the extra year of service time. What is the date where the team gets the additional pre-arbitration season? Is that Super-two? I know the Pirates held down Polanco for like 2 months that one season when he was raking and clearly ready to come up but they did it so they get the extra even cheaper year out of it.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Apr 14, 2017 -> 08:50 AM) melky Paternity leave

In all seriousness though, I hope W. Garcia plays in every game this weekend.

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Apr 14, 2017 -> 11:33 AM) Chicago White Sox @whitesox Prior to tonight’s game, the #WhiteSox placed Melky Cabrera on the Paternity List and recalled outfielder Willy Garcia from Charlotte. now it's official W. Garcia LF L. Garcia CF A. Garcia RF

Star Wars trailer is out. Now excuse me while I change my pants.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 14, 2017 -> 09:22 AM) We got an all-star and perennial ace out of a minor league signing in 2012 He probably should have thrown the words "position player" in there.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Apr 14, 2017 -> 09:18 AM) Yesterday the White Sox were going to get run out of town.......I must say I am becoming intrigued. A great story would be if Joe Maddon actually made the Sox a better team by leaving Tampa. I haven't had enough coffee yet. Explain. Edit: oh, because we got Ricky Renteria haha

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 14, 2017 -> 09:13 AM) This could be a loooong night. "It's supposed to rain this weekend. White Sox shouldn't even waste their time going to Minneapolis. Play these games in the summer when there is better weather." -flavum probably

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 14, 2017 -> 06:59 AM) Asche goes up there and looks like he can hit and work an at bat, but just never hits QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 14, 2017 -> 07:12 AM) Kinda like Mark Teahen, but worse. What's he got, another 3 weeks/a month of at bats?

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 04:14 PM) I am such a petty Sox fan. It has brought me a lot of joy to see the Pirates terrible start out of spite. Just because of a couple Pirate fans on social media that have gushed over their team being sooooo awesome and them giving up any of their top prospects for Q would be ridiculous because of their great potential is just too valuable for a guy like Q. I know its early but like I said, I am petty. I would rather see them be competitive/potential buyers than suck and not be in the mix in the summer. Off topic, but I'm starting to think we need a "closer watch" type of thread for the teams having bullpen issues in regards to potential Robertson deals.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 03:57 PM) The Last Jedi panel will be tomorrow morning at 10 on StarWars.com and Youtube. EW is teasing something happening at midnight tonight, the trailer in all likelihood drops tomorrow You think so? If not tomorrow, I totally see it being dropped on May 4th aka "May the 4th be with you day" haha

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 03:55 PM) I can't stand Benetti. I hope they move him to radio. Think of who could possibly to color commentary opposite Benetti after Stone leaves and who would even want to. AJ maybe? Honestly, the chances of them replacing Benetti with someone more like Benetti is greater than him being replaced with someone like Hawk it would seem.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 03:44 PM) Comments from Ricky on your boy, Cody. Renteria on Asche He's basically the exact type of guy who should be playing year 1 of a rebuild. Guys who aren't blocking anyone in the minors and former top prospects themselves with age still on their side. Look at Cubs rebuild: Bryan LaHair, Ian Stewart, etc. yuck. Will Asche amount to anything? Most likely not. Was curious so I looked up Cubs previous opening day lineups: Cubs opening day 2B in 2013? Brent Lillibridge. I completely forgot he was with that team.

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 03:20 PM) Maybe he did but not while I seen him. The worst was watching him work on the back fields. I really don't want to come off as some Smith basher because I am not angry they brought him up or anything. I just personally dont think he belongs in the ML's but they really don't have any other options. That's just it. You're talking third catcher on a rebuilding team here with little catching depth (yes, I'm aware of Zack Collins but referring to MLB-ready talent).

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 03:00 PM) I will say its mostly of what I seen of him offensively in ST up close. He was so unimpressive I walked away shaking my head thinking this guy has no offensive ability whatsoever. Didnt look like he belonged with major leaguers. Mind you, he is a catcher so offense is not as important and it was just a few days of seeing him that I came to this opinion. Didn't he actually have a great spring though?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 02:45 PM) Agreed- or, even with Frazier out, you could 3B Saladino, DH Davidson, remove Asche. s*** they can even give Anderson a day to try to clear his head.
