QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 5, 2017 -> 10:21 PM) Exactly. If you were fan of a buyer, would you accept your team acquiring Melky Cabrera? There's absolutely no reason to acquire him. He'll kill a contender defensively and he's an average hitter. He's not exactly fast either. Yes, I would accept my team buying Melky. If you're a fan of a team with a black hole in lf defensively and with the bat, why wouldn't you want him? Especially when the price will be low.

We're playing against a team that is going to be close to the bottom along with the Sox. These few losses could be the difference between the Sox drafting one spot in front of or behind them.

QUOTE (FT35 @ Jul 5, 2017 -> 03:48 PM) I can see that...but I don't know...I might want to use someone from my own system before I gave up a prospect to get someone from someone else's team to save my starters. I'd rather plug in a AAA prospect occasionally to get him some MLB experience. Plus I would have to have a pretty big lead to have that luxury. It could happen though. Happened before. Yeah for sure. I don't think it will either but it could for a very minimal price. I almost suggested the Dodgers as an option but they would seem so unlikely with all that depth haha

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 5, 2017 -> 03:42 PM) I still like him as a CF 100% time more logical than switching to catcher lol

A team could buy a Holland or Pelfrey even to just help get through the second half (for example: you want to give some young starters some rest). Not that you would get anything significant of value but say like a PTBNL.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 28, 2017 -> 11:10 PM) Defensively he's a disaster at ss. I'd send him down, teach him to take pitches and see if he can become a catcher. I'd take .260, 19 homers, 79 ribbies which appear to be his ceilings, at the catcher position. This has to be trolling right? The idea that anyone can just become a catcher and be smart enough baseball wise to do so.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jul 5, 2017 -> 03:12 PM) From National fan forum: "If I were Rizzo, I'd send a memo out to the 29 MLB GM's saying this: "Alright, you all know our bullpen sucks here in Washington. Let me make this really simple for you... I'm going to trade away any 5 prospects of your choice + Adam Eaton. I want 3 of your best relievers. I'll take the best offer any team makes. Thanks for your time." Sincerely, Mike Rizzo. If this happens, we win the World series and who cares about the next 10 years." Nationals fans know this is their best World Series chance in a generation this season and next, and they seem to be willing to do anything it takes to help the bullpen. Robles might not be off the table as much as we think come the deadline. I'm sure other fans grilled him immediately.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 5, 2017 -> 02:48 PM) Let me put it this way with Tatis... Player A: .274 .360 .466 .827 in A ball. 90K in 296 AB Player B: .278 .336 .484 .819 in A ball. 90K in 273 AB One is a bust because of K rate, the other is a Super Prospect. Duh because we traded one. That means the front office has no idea what they're doing.

QUOTE (Soha @ Jul 5, 2017 -> 01:42 PM) For the record - I was thinking of something along the lines of 3 years for 7 mil. That would be $2.33 mil per. To me that sets him for life, and at the same time is minimal risk from the White Sox end. But yeah, trade him if someone offers something decent up. I don't see any way he would agree to such a small amount lol

Since fans vote and influence the starting lineup, it shouldn't count.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 5, 2017 -> 11:12 AM) Define song please And you don't think Swarzak could net an organizational top 25 prospect? I would say PTBNL.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 5, 2017 -> 11:53 AM) Wife? Upton and Verlander got married? Not yet I don't think. Engaged though.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 5, 2017 -> 10:43 AM) Based on our minor league position player talent being a couple years away I would strongly consider resigning both We have guys who can cover LF and 3B next year though.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 5, 2017 -> 10:10 AM) What have you heard? Huh? I don't think he is implying he heard anything.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jun 30, 2017 -> 04:45 PM) For those with a typical 9-5, is anyone else working Monday? I assumed, wrongly, that my office would be closed. We just got the internal memo saying we're open. I'm kinda pissed about that. If Christmas falls on a Tuesday, we don't work Monday. Pretty sure the same goes for New Years. We got an email a few weeks ago from CEO saying we are closed so we had time to plan trips.

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).
