QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 10:25 AM) Then somebody else will need to learn 1st base Frazier knows how and Shuck played in triple A during his stint there. They are fine. A good backup 1B isn't a huge necessity.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 08:12 AM) Sands being sent down then? Hopefully THIS is the case when Melky comes back.

The same Chris Coghlan batting .153 with a .223 OBP? Better be coming cheap.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 08:46 AM) https://weather.com/weather/hourbyhour/l/USMI0229:1:US Rain coming their way at 6 or more likely 7 p.m. Might not finish it, or there will be a long rain delay in the 6th/7th/8th. Game is at 3:10 I would hope they'd be in the 8th/9th at that time.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 07:54 AM) We better f*** Pelfrey up today. Dude is a joke and if we can't get it together against him, I'm generally going to be worried about our offense. One can argue our offense is a joke however (especially without Melky).

Called it.

Why does he insist on Shuck batting 5th?! (Has flashbacks of 2005 Timo Perez batting 5th).

Less than a week away!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 2, 2016 -> 11:54 PM) Delmonico just got promoted from BIRM a week ago...if they promoted him this quickly, it would be borderline crazy. It wouldn't be that crazy. It's happened before. And sometimes guys skip Triple A and go straight from Double A to the majors.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 2, 2016 -> 11:34 AM) I see that they acquired one so I am not sure if that one falls under what Tex is talking about or what? I cant say I know what the restrictions are on trading picks but they must be so tight its basically non existent. Only competitive balance picks can be traded.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 2, 2016 -> 08:24 AM) They don't have the talent, at least should be unwilling to surrender the talent, but they do have LaRoche's cash. When half the season's paychecks are cashed, his $13 million becomes an ability to stay at projected opening day payroll and acquire $26 million in salary. Plus, the longer you wait, the availability should increase as well. The other thing is, you can wait on Shields. If Latos and/or Gonzalez fail, and he's the only option, fine. But they shouldn't be in a rush to acquire him. That's a very good point. I didn't really consider the fact that taking on a bigger contract half way through the season and then using the LaRoche money saved is better than taking on a bad contract in say April.

QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 08:13 PM) Yep. I have no idea why he's still on the roster. If May showed us anything, it's that we'd be better off using that roster spot on an extra bullpen arm. We had a 3 man bench a lot of May. Are you saying only go with a catcher and Rollins? Haha

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 04:15 PM) For cash. Catching depth. Reporting to AAA. Had to replace Hector Sanchez.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 10:23 AM) But so can Abreu, Frazier, and Saladino. We don't need him. And Shuck worked at first in AAA.

Seriously. If you're going to play both, play Saladino against righties in the 2 spot and play Rollins against lefties. That way Saladino at least gets majority time.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ May 31, 2016 -> 08:15 PM) I think Rick Hahn is one of the smartest GMs in the game. There no way that those Syndergaard to the Sox for Ramirez rumors were true. Think it was more "dumb wishful thinking" by posters on here than a rumor with actual legs.

Oh just realized it's probably just to get work in since he got tossed after a couple innings his last start.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 31, 2016 -> 08:02 PM) let's rock thor Not watching. But wtf is he coming in for? Lol

QUOTE (fathom @ May 31, 2016 -> 07:53 PM) And your DH is already a righty Yep. And his only other purpose was backing up Jose at first. Now that Shuck gained some experience in the minors, I think Sands days are numbered.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 31, 2016 -> 07:30 PM) Matz is impressive. Hope he stays healthy That's how I feel about the rest of their young starters...deGrom, Harvey, Syndergaard, Wheeler when he is back.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ May 31, 2016 -> 07:24 PM) So is Adrian Beltre. And Nomar Mazara. Also Jurickson Profar looks great. Well yeah but there's a specific reason why Desmond was mentioned.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 30, 2016 -> 11:04 AM) Why the condescending tone? I always buy tickets in advance to guarantee that I can sit in the seats that I prefer. Stop being a tool. Wasn't condescending at all. I was just speaking the truth ha and just because it seems like starts would be lined up to pitch certain dates doesn't mean it's for certain he will pitch that day as they can decide to skip a guy, have a guy go on short rest, spot start another guy, or an injury can happen.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 27, 2016 -> 05:59 PM) I was just curious because I want to buy tickets when he is scheduled to pitch at the Cell. Lucky for us fans, you don't have to buy tickets in advance and can buy them right at the window day of the game.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ May 29, 2016 -> 03:58 PM) Padres and White Sox talks are fluid. $58 owed to Shields will be deciding factor if deal gets done .Tim Anderson will not be in the deal https://twitter.com/MLBBruceLevine/status/737022522928029697 We need a f***ing good bullpen!

QUOTE (TitoMB @ May 29, 2016 -> 04:10 PM) Did we just blow 3 straight leads against the Royals? I don't remember what happened Friday. I didn't watch. Yep.
