QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 4, 2017 -> 10:12 AM) Yeah, this league awards 2.5 points per hold. I acquired him because he'll probably be the closer if Robertson is traded. I might just hold onto him and hope he's only on the shelf for a couple weeks. Good idea then.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 4, 2017 -> 10:10 AM) I would not have guessed Holmberg up before Luebke. Didn't Luebke just return from the dl?

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ May 4, 2017 -> 10:05 AM) Paul Sullivan @PWSullivan 34s Nate Jones to DL with elbow neuritis. David Holmberg up. Rodon to 60-day DL. I suggested this could happen to make room for someone not on the 40-man. Didn't expect it this soon.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 4, 2017 -> 10:03 AM) Dammit. I literally just acquired him in my league. Is he drop worthy? Is your league Holds+saves? If not I wouldn't even bother. Worst case scenario, stash him on your dl.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 3, 2017 -> 04:12 PM) So, what happened was, Delmonico disappeared that offseason. Milwaukee released him because they could not reach him. He later told FutureSox in an interview that he didn't want to return calls, and wanted to be released, which happened. Then he signed with Sox. You can read about it in our interview with him here - one of the more interesting interviews we've published. Yeah link I provided earlier said he told Milwaukee he wanted to be released and then changed his phone number. Then Sox signed him like 7 months later. Dude definitely had something going on in his head and I'm glad he's straightened up whatever was going on.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 3, 2017 -> 03:36 PM) Asche!?!? Nooooo! Free Willy! This lineup needs mas Garcias!

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 3, 2017 -> 03:24 PM) didn't score on the Abreu hit? Was that TA, can't remember. I think that was Yolmer.

It'll be what, 5 games? Not even missing a start. You would just pitch the next day.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 3, 2017 -> 01:52 PM) Rain all day in KC, but 5 hours for the rest to move out, should be ok. Knew we could count on you Flavum Skilling.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 3, 2017 -> 12:59 PM) What's the difference in salary going to be, a couple million? Yeah basically another pre-arbitration year. Could honestly be more than a few million but as I said, I'm not sure the Sox care about that. It's not like he will be up the next day after that deadline. He'll just be up when he is ready.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 3, 2017 -> 12:55 PM) Isn't that the usual Super 2 deadline? Would you have to add another month to it because of his service time from his call up last year? Yeah usually around end of May but I don't think the Sox really care about that (granted, I don't think he will be up until after that deadline anyway).

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 3, 2017 -> 12:44 PM) Yeah I agree with you. Looks like Mets are going to fall off too and they could have been in the 3B market. On the bright side KC should be absolutely awful when the Sox are primed to contend again. KC has maybe the least longterm assets in all of baseball. No real locked up young talent and one of the worst farm systems. Same for the Giants. It's sucks there aren't a lot of fits for Melky and Frazier.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ May 3, 2017 -> 12:44 PM) Verlander and Q have way different markets. Verlander is owed $70M over the next 2.5 seasons with the opportunity to vest another $22M. Meanwhile has one more year of control at half the price. The teams interested in Verlander are not the teams that will be in on Q, those are the teams that are willing to eat money to preserve prospects. Those are the same teams that will be in on Greinke this summer. Herrera is probably the one piece that either of those teams have that could directly impact the trade value of any of the guys the Sox are looking to move. Moose and Frazier are not similar players, Cain and Cabrera are pretty much opposites. Tigers could eat money in a deal. Or the Dodgers, who let's face it, will be in the market for another good SP. They could take on the whole contract without giving up a huge haul.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ May 3, 2017 -> 12:41 PM) Red Sox seem like a perfect fit for needing a 3B so we need the Royals to pick it up so they go after Frazier instead of Moustakas. Unfortunately I don't have any faith in them turning it around, they're bad. Yeah and Donaldson is another who could potentially be available this summer.

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 3, 2017 -> 12:28 PM) This and we should be rooting for the Tigers and Royals. If Tigers fall out and make Verlander available... Royals could sell off Moutstakas, Cain and relievers. I've been saying this since before the season. I want those two teams to be doing good and I want the Jays to bounce back.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ May 3, 2017 -> 11:50 AM) I don't see many TOR starters being available at the deadline at will be under lengthy team control. Rental players do not come cheap either, and a team may have an easier time justifying a longer term piece like Quintana over an expensive three month rental They don't really have to be considered "top of rotation arms." Guys could be having good years or career years on the final year of a deal and be dealt at a cheaper cost than Q that a team may be willing to pay.

http://www.csnchicago.com/chicago-white-so...start-white-sox He asked for his release because he didn't want to play anymore. Sox signed him 7 months later.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 3, 2017 -> 11:40 AM) probably had to be added to the 40 man after 5 years service in order to protect him? They wouldn't release a player for that though. You would just leave him off the 40 in hopes no one takes him in Rule 5 draft or whenever. Didn't he have off the field issues?

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 3, 2017 -> 10:49 AM) They do...just DFA TrAsche. Even if they do that, Davidson should get the at bats. Once there is an injury or they trade Melky or Frazier, they'll have room for every day at bats for both.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 3, 2017 -> 09:27 AM) But seriously, I was just angry in the heat of the moment. Thankfully Q has made me eat some crow by dominating in his last few starts. Great moment in the Office. Seriously though. I'm bored at work which is what has lead me to doing Beat the Streak on mlb.com again and starting Streak for the Cash on ESPN lol

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 3, 2017 -> 09:12 AM) No I didn't. I was just pissed that he was pitching like trash that particular game. Here's what you said: QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ April 15, 2017 -> 02:01 PM) This is awful. Hahn f***ed up big time. And also: QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ April 15, 2017 -> 02:44 PM) I'm not quite sure what point you're trying to make, as thus far, Q's value has gone nowhere but down to start the season and it appears as if Hahn made the wrong decision to not trade him in the offseason. Yes, I am extremely bored at work lol

QUOTE (shipps @ May 3, 2017 -> 08:44 AM) I was told oon here maybe 2 weeks ago that it wasnt mathematically likely for him to turn it around and have a respectable ERA this season. :o It's ok. The guy you're replying back to acted like the sky was falling during that Twins game where Q got hammered.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 3, 2017 -> 09:00 AM) What's funny is that we have: Robertson Jones Swarzak Jennings Kahnle Ynoa Putnam Petricka Which, when healthy, is already far too many relievers. This would make it tough for Covey to get any opportunities. That's what I've been getting at in my posts ha granted, they could just stream pitchers along with the 10-day dl. Seems the Dodgers have been doing that. "Uhhh yeah... Ynoa has arm tightness...better put him on the 10-day dl."

QUOTE (gosoxgo2005 @ May 2, 2017 -> 04:55 PM) Hey fellas, asked Bilek for permission to post the show on here today. We had Brian Anderson on our podcast last night and the reception was great, Brian had a lot of great stories from his first call up in 2005, the brawl vs. the Cubs in 2006 (where he beat John Mabry's ass), the blackout game, and Bobby Jenks putting back 50 beers on cross country flights Wade Boggs style and yes, Juan Uribe's legendary wang. Thought I'd share it here for those who may be interested It was a lot different than the Hahn interview from a few weeks back, this was completely unfiltered off the cuff. Even I thought we shoulda cut some of it out because I wasn't sure if some of the stories were meant for public consumption but Brian didn't want us to, so we rolled with it. For anyone who listens, PLEASE hammer us with any and all comments and criticisms. We're really trying to make this thing big (and it's grown ten fold since we first started) and since we are so new and raw at this we gotta hear and absorb any and all critiques of us. Let us know what you think, thanks!!!! https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/red-lin...1210156055?mt=2 PS - shout out to Bilek for the assist in putting me in contact with BA, always comes through in the clutch for me I saw you tweet that he rejected a date from Jessica Biel? This enrages me so much lol

QUOTE (ptatc @ May 3, 2017 -> 07:44 AM) As I said before, there was no way a lat strain was just going to be a 10 day DL, especially with how conservative the medical team is being with everyone this year. I feel like they might as well move him to the 60-day dl. I mean, they could if they wanted to add someone to the 40 eventually.
