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.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 01:59 PM) Cubs will not trade Schwarber Happ, Jimenez and Candelario are all totally blocked at the mlb level with no opportunity for playign time in sight Baez is their 2B, Russell is their SS, Bryant is 3B, Rizzo at 1B, Schwarber will be in left, Heyward in right, and likely Almora in center They will be forced to trade off the current roster to make space, or the more likely route would be to trade those pieces for mlb pitching to replace Lackey and Arrieta after this season Quintana would make a ton of sense, but won't come cheap They basically need Heyward to put up a good season this year and next or next year and the year after and hope he opts out.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 01:44 PM) Yah, its ugly. Its going to be even worse this weekend when Melky is gone. Imagine if Frazier is still out AND Melky is gone for the weekend.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 12:57 PM) Yes it was. One of my buddies, who is pilot for an airline out of O'Hare, was on Facebook defending United so I was able to see a pretty good argument. They do have the right to remove you from a plane for any reason. Just really unfortunate he didn't cooperate and that it all ended up on video. Edit: and seriously, they were being well compensated to give up their seats.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 10:52 AM) Whatever. People are overreacting. United had a right to remove him. /s Wasn't it technically aviation police?

QUOTE (mataipaepae @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 11:10 AM) But he does play a major league center field. let the kid go and just play. Maybe he gets more comfortable at the plate as the season goes along or until Tilson gets back. Let the kid take his cuts, while playing a good centerfield. SOMEONE has to play good defense in the OF. I agree, just let him play and help out our pitchers. Throw away year anyway.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 11:02 AM) The one thing that sucks here is that we also have to add Smith back to the 40 man roster, so we lose that slot. We were at 39 correct?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 10:42 AM) And he had an abbreviated spring training, and he homered and double his last game, and has been hitting the ball pretty well the last few games. Could easily have had 2 or 3 more hits. When I saw a montage on I think it was Saturday or Sunday during pre-game show, it looked like he had nice hits right at someone or someone made a nice play on him the first 4-5 games. He could easily have another 2-3 hits it seems.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 10:28 AM) May would make sense to send down but then who backs up CF behind Leury? Not sure it's May. Doubt it's Asche because I think Delmonico would get the call to take Asche's place as a LH bench/platoon bat. Wonder if Frazier is still dealing with the oblique and possibly headed to the DL. This would open up 3B for Davidson to play and create a hole at DH for Avi or Willy to slide into. This is the only way I can make sense of the Sox calling up a right handed hitting outfielder. It could be. 10-day dl retroactive to yesterday could make sense.

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 10:01 AM) Maybe they'll send Kahnle back down? I thought this was strange too but hey, #MASGARCIAS I'm going with Jacob May IF they feel someone on the roster can handle CF in a pinch. Don't know anything about Garcia's experience in CF. Edit: nevermind

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 09:57 AM) Who got sent down? May? We gotta see an all Garcia outfield at some point now. f*** yeah we do.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 06:57 PM) Fulmer got dicked by his defense there. Groundball up the middle, the SS fielded it, but instead of throwing to 1st for the 3rd out, he tried to run to tag 2B. He slipped, then dove to the base and the runner beat him. So now it's bases loaded for Fulmer, and the next batter hits a towering drive to the RF wall and it appears to go off the RF's glove at the wall and all 3 runs score. All 3 SHOULD be unearned, because of either the SS or the RF, but both were ruled hits. If he was on the run and had to reach for it (I didn't see it), it's not and should not be scored an error (but should still be caught). Kinda depends on how tough of a play it is with fly balls. Now, the typical dropped fly ball from Alex Rios that seemed to occur more frequently than it should have, yes, that is an error.

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 06:33 PM) I think *at best* he could be seen as a depth piece for a possible contender. But I don't see any team holding off on trading for Q because they can get Derek Holland (obviously for significantly less, but still) instead. Half a good season of Scott Feldman got the Cubs that failed prospect Jake Arrieta. You never know.
