QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 23, 2017 -> 01:15 PM) Can Davidson play 3B well enough to allow Delmonico to DH? Or can Delmonico play LF well enough to allow Davidson to DH? Might as well play Davidson at 3B and let Delmonico get a bulk of DH at bats while seeing some time at LF and 1B.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Aug 23, 2017 -> 09:14 AM) You really can't imagine someone caring? That's a lie. This was no doubt going to be seized on as an opportunity to laugh at how clueless ESPN is. Especially with all the dumb sh*t going on in the news with the statues.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Aug 22, 2017 -> 12:01 PM) Yah, otherwise Hanson is probably the odd man out. Which I am OK with, he kind of sucks. I don't see him making the team next year and he is out of options. Yeah pretty good bait to cut if 40-man space is need in off-season.

Pitching well through 4 games with the Astros so far. Wouldn't mind bringing him back on a 1-year deal (maybe 2 years since he's not that old yet and maybe could do better than one) as we need bullpen arms anyway.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 22, 2017 -> 11:32 AM) Giolitto better look awesome tonight, or he's a bust as well. Did you see what he did last year? Moncada, Fulmer, Collins....confirmed busts Lopez, huge questions. ERA over 6.00 and hurt.....most likely bust Giolitto, big game tonight will determine his status....very well could be a bust. For people who wanted full rebuilds, the patience is amazingly short. This. Thankfully, it's only a few people.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 22, 2017 -> 10:02 AM) Relevant Zach @Zachary_Canny @jimcallisMLB @JonathanMayo Albies, Devers, Moncada, Rosario, who would you rather have for the next decade. Jim Callis‏Verified account @jimcallisMLB 24m24 minutes ago Can I have Vladimir Guerrero Jr. instead? In terms of offensive impact, I'd rank those guys: Moncada, Devers, Rosario, Albies. Like them all Dude will probably end up in the OF or 1B anyway. I think this was more for 2B, SS, and 3B positions.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Aug 22, 2017 -> 10:39 AM) Not a bad idea. McMahon is ranked #63 on mlb pipeline. Cease is ranked #65, I'd make that swap but I doubt the Rockies would. McMahon has had a good season so I'd guess his value is a bit higher than that #63 rank. Exactly. Like what would he have to trade for him exactly? I bet he's there 1B next year or in a COF spot.

Any update here?

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Aug 22, 2017 -> 07:03 AM) I think every player is different. Delmonico is hitting better in the majors than he did in AAA. I do think starting pitchers need some time in AAA. But we are seeing positional players jumping from AA to majors and having success. Think the ball is tighter in the majors.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 21, 2017 -> 09:03 PM) Benintendi would look even better (which is who the Sox wanted initially). Agreed but he wasn't an option for them.

Ian Happ would look good in our system/in our lineup right now.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 21, 2017 -> 07:26 PM) No reason to pitch Holland again Unless it's to blow games. #becauseitsthetank

Could he just slide to 1B for the Rockies after this year?

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 20, 2017 -> 07:11 PM) Just remembered the Sox host the Giants in September. Start Volstad, Danish, and Beck. Shields and Holland will be perfect.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Aug 14, 2017 -> 08:28 PM) Brantley not on the 40-man. Don't expect him to come up. What's the point? I think Liriano has a chance. They need to make a decision on keeping him. Just named IL player of the week. I expect Covey, Giolito, Liriano and maybe Danish or Fulmer. They'll call up a third catcher. Every team does. They have room on the 40-man and will just release him after season.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 14, 2017 -> 11:07 AM) This all reminds me, did we ever get that PTBNL for Bourjos? Oh yeah....I don't know.

So the original trade overall is Robertson, Kahnle, Frazier for Rutherford, Clarkin, Polo and PTBNL.

Probably looking at an 18/19 year old A-baller or mid-20s guy with command issues they think they can fix.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 14, 2017 -> 07:41 AM) The White Sox would have the first claim. I acknowledged that. Just wondered what the turn around time on that is for an official announcement.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 14, 2017 -> 07:01 AM) Does anyone have a link to this Kemp rumor? Would be a pretty nice get for Clippard. EDIT: Never mind, I see it was just speculation. Hopefully our scouts can find a previous LatAm signing that they like that could be available.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 14, 2017 -> 06:13 AM) If it is Tony Kemp, there is no reason for it not to be announced. I think that report is BS. He has to go through waiver process (obviously not an issue) but how many days is it when a guy is placed on waivers and announced as clearing or claimed?

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 12, 2017 -> 09:33 PM) Bryce Harper likely tore his ACL tonight Yep. Looked awful.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 11, 2017 -> 04:14 PM) Why is Avi Garcia out against a LHP in Duffy? Maybe just day off? Injury? I assume if they were going to give him a break that he would just DH.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 11, 2017 -> 02:31 PM) Surprising prospect list not to be able to crack, but welcome aboard Burr! Yeah his numbers look solid.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 11, 2017 -> 02:19 PM) Randomly saw headline speculating on the Orioles interested in either Gonzalez or Holland this morning. Oh nice. Didn't see that.
