QUOTE (WBWSF @ May 3, 2017 -> 07:42 AM) Looking back at Dunns time with the White Sox has never been explained. Was he hurt? Did he lose his desire to play after signing a big long term contract? Didn't he like playing for the White Sox? Dunn was the first big free agent signing since Albert Belle. He didn't produce here. Nobody has ever figured it out. Take away his 2011 stats and he was actually good for the Sox.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 2, 2017 -> 04:14 PM) I was waiting for this type of article to come out. Yep. Was a matter of time.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ May 2, 2017 -> 04:07 PM) Gonzalez for one of their SS prospects and a lottery ticket arm. Sign me up.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 2, 2017 -> 04:04 PM) No Agreed. Say you replace Sale with Holland. Holland has pitched pretty damn well for us. How much does our record really change?

QUOTE (knightni @ May 2, 2017 -> 03:16 PM) Shields would be ideal if he was healthy; but, I'm not sure if the Mets want to take on that much salary. I would hope the Sox would be willing to eat some of the $20 mill owed to him over next 2 years to get the best possible deal.

I doubt they'd be looking to deal for Q (don't have enough) but I could see interest in the guys I listed above (ok maybe not Shields).

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 2, 2017 -> 01:13 PM) The Mets are the perfect counterexample to why being super-cautious with pitchers is a good idea, and why throwing at 100% for every pitch might not be the best idea. Kopech, take note.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 2, 2017 -> 12:23 PM) In almost 300 MLB PA now, Schwarber has a 29% K rate, including 30% so far this year. He has a career BABIP of .284 and will rely almost entirely on power and patience in order to delivery value as a MLB player: his defense and baserunning are well below average. His 2015 was a fluke, with a whopping 24% of his FB leaving the park. Now that that's down to a more reasonable 12% he's struggling to generate enough power to offset his low BA. The patience is there, both in the walk rate and the outside zone chase % but right now he's hitting like the bad version of Adam Dunn. I don't see the upside really with him. I think at best he's a 250/350/500 guy that gives you nothing outside of his bat. That's a 3-4 WAR player but it's hardly a superstar. I have had him pegged for getting dealt to an AL team eventually.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 2, 2017 -> 11:59 AM) It does as far as it is a free audition. If it is someone you think that could help you down the road, you eat his crap starts this season in a year that doesn't matter if he sucks or not if you think he can help in 2018/19/20 etc. Yeah I get that but there may not even be room for him to stay up in the majors. If they really like him, they could always trade for him. Send over cash or PTBNL or something. Like I said, I think he will stay up as a long-reliever with a 3-man bench.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 2, 2017 -> 11:54 AM) He's averaging 5 innings per start so he's not exactly eating innings. At this pace he'll need 30 starts just to crack 150 IP. I'm with Feeky on this one I don't know why they took him in the Rule 5 as he has little upside for Cooper to work with. The clay just isn't there. Maybe you move him to the pen he gains a couple ticks of velocity but he's still got mediocre off speed offerings and is still right handed. Personally as soon as one of Fulmer/Lopez/Rodon/Shields is back or MLB ready I'd just offer him back and if they don't want him put him in the pen and send Beck down. I wanted Jake Cave in the Rule 5 draft but it looks like he's only played 3 games this year. Does anyone know if he was hurt?

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ May 2, 2017 -> 11:32 AM) I am aware of his status, but the dude isn't very good. I'd be surprised if he lasted all year. Rule 5 pick or not. Yeah the fact he is a rule 5 pick should have no bearing. I could see him staying on as a long-reliever though. They can cut someone like Asche and go with a 3-man bench.

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ May 2, 2017 -> 10:45 AM) Chicago White Sox @whitesox now Prior to tonight’s game at Kansas City, the #WhiteSox recalled outfielder Willy García from Class AAA Charlotte. link Could also see some starts in RF today and tomorrow if Avi is still sore or whatever.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 2, 2017 -> 09:43 AM) Six months from trade day. Damn we could be waiting all season basically haha

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 2, 2017 -> 09:09 AM) Maddon loves that multi-position eligibility for his fantasy teams. Hence the shifting of Rizzo to 2nd on bunts, he only needs one more appearance to be Yahoo-eligible. I just checked that. That would be weird as hell lol

QUOTE (Jake @ May 2, 2017 -> 08:54 AM) Would be criminal to bench Leury when he's been hitting as well as he has It's pretty easy to find playing time all over the diamond for him.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 2, 2017 -> 08:45 AM) Why call up Willy if you can't play him every day? They've been playing him in CF in the minors. Maybe he will play everyday?

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 2, 2017 -> 08:16 AM) What did the Sox end up getting in the Bourjos deal? International bonus money? Cash considerations or a player to be named later. My order of preference: 1. International slot allotment 2. Player to be named later 3. cash When do they have to complete the trade by?

QUOTE (shipps @ May 2, 2017 -> 08:11 AM) I thought we traded him to Tampa. Who am I confusing him with? Peter Bourjos.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ May 2, 2017 -> 07:46 AM) The extra year of service shouldn't be a concern for Delmonico. It's already past that date anyway.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ May 2, 2017 -> 07:55 AM) Rabbit, how long are they going to keep running Covey out there? Until Lopez can come up? I would assume until Rodon and Shields are both back in the rotation. Unless they trade Holland or Gonzalez.

QUOTE (ptatc @ May 1, 2017 -> 04:55 PM) You would know if you tore your ACL. It immediately swells up and you can't move your knee. Is it by your kneecap? Sounds more like a patella-femoral pain syndrome? Thanks doc! I'll look into it.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 1, 2017 -> 04:24 PM) Is that what happened to Avi? No problems giving him the day off and really no problem with May getting the ABs. It's just a shame the Sox don't have another intriguing OF like Avi to give some ABs to in a rebuild. Guess they want Garcia down in AAA playing every day. Yeah haven't they been experimenting with him getting at bats in CF? Anyone know how he's looked?

QUOTE (3GamesToLove @ May 1, 2017 -> 02:48 PM) Schaller's Pump literally closed yesterday, unfortunately. Never made it there myself. Never been either.
