QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 08:46 AM) Can't take that .210 AVG in the 4 hole, aside from what I believe is solid D and elite power, best Sox 3B since Crede Was going to say the same thing. IF they decided to compete next year and held onto Frazier, you'd have to go: Eaton RF/CF Anderson SS Cabrera LF (if not traded) Abreu 1B Outfield bat for RF or CF (Reddick?) Frazier 3B Morneau DH (try to re-sign to a 1 year deal?) Lawrie 2B (if they keep him) Catcher spot

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 08:22 AM) No doubt. I don't think Nimmo/Wheeler is too far off but if it is the Sox could offer a reliever (Duke?) with Frazier. Yeah maybe. Will be fun to see what happens.

Did they do anything at the trade deadline 2 years ago? I can't remember. If not, I don't think they will be quiet 3 years in a row the week leading up to the deadline.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 08:01 AM) Would Nimmo and Wheeler be too much for Frazier? Probably but I'd at least ask.

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 07:59 AM) With all the names circulating, it's dawning on me that this might be a golden opportunity for the White Sox to rebuild. There seems to be a lot of interest in at least a half a dozen White Sox player. Not only that but it's a sellers market & we are dealing from a position of strength. If we play our cards right, we could set ourselves up for the next decade by tearing down & sacrificing the next few seasons. I just hope management can have this longer term vision and realize that this particular deadline (and probably offseason) set them up really well to rebuild. Would be so frustrating if they see false hope from a small winning streak, etc. If they keep Sale and Quintana, they won't rebuild and will try to compete next year. You have to try if you keep them.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 07:28 AM) Making no moves is a huge mistake for this organization. Agreed. However I think they only deal one of Shields/Gonzalez inserting Ranaudo into the rotation and Robertson and/or Duke. So 3 trades max. I think they try to retool in the offseason and try to compete in 2017 if they don't get a huge haul for Sale or Quintana.

QUOTE (GoGoSox2k2 @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 07:25 AM) id be intrigued by a michael conforto return I don't see them giving him up for some reason but you never know. And when Wright comes back next year (doesn't however long that'll be), Frazier can be their 1B.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 11:31 PM) It's gotten to that point and will stay there until Sunday, IMO. Minor blip due tomorrow around 9:00pm. QUOTE (oneofthemikes @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 04:46 AM) He's right. It's the lack of any new information that is causing us to talk ourselves in circles. Yeah I can't disagree.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 10:11 PM) I think we can all agree they're not gona give either one away. They don't have to move them. If they had to, maybe I could see the concern. They have the leverage. Exactly. This entire thread is beating a dead horse lol

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 10:08 PM) I couldn't imagine what 103 from a pitcher must look like. In HS I turned a pitching machine up to 100 to see what that looked like. Missed the first 3 badly, tipped the fourth, and hit the fifth, but it snapped the aluminum bat I was swinging in half. Off a pitcher, it has to look even quicker. I don't even know those machines could get that high lol

QUOTE (lord chas @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 10:03 PM) Is tomorrow Sale's last start in a White Sox uniform? Nope

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 09:57 PM) Chapman in a 7 run game... wtf Probably hasn't pitched in 3-4 games. What's wrong with getting work?

QUOTE (soxfan85 @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 09:57 PM) The hype in ungodly. Too bad that had such an amazing start and such an easy schedule for the first month an a half or so. If they did not have that going for them, things would be a whole lot tighter in their division. That start was such a huge outlier. Sucks the Cardinals have been without Carpenter, Peralta and Moss for a while. They don't have the kind of depth the Cubs have for those kind of losses.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 09:56 PM) I guess the Cubs fans that were outraged they traded for a wife beater are over it once they see triple digits on the gun. Welcome to the world of professional sports where players can do whatever they want with little consequences and people love you because you're good.

He said first America League pitcher.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 08:38 PM) He deserves at least a couple more starts IMO. If he could fill a hole at minimal cost left by a Sale or Q trade even going into 2017 that would be huge. More likely a hole left by a Gonzalez or Shields trade in my opinion.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 08:57 PM) Anyone else see Melky with the troll job there? What did he do?

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 06:03 PM) I was trying to say that he made it sound like it wouldn't be surprising if he was dealt, not that the possibility is there...as we all know that already. Like they may have something lined up to happen soon?

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 05:54 PM) He'll be 35. No one would pay him anywhere near $44 million; The Sox will be fortunate to peddle him now for an interesting A ball prospect. Luckily we're not trying to move him at the $44 million price tag. What we are paying him is very affordable to almost every team.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 05:48 PM) Um, ok? I was just saying your post wasn't very insightful as this is a thread about Shields "possibly" being traded. Was just kind of funny is all.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 05:26 PM) whitesoxdave makes it sound like the Sox could possibly move Shields. I'd be ok with that. Look back at the last couple pages. We all know "the Sox could possibly move Shields." Lol this is the thread for it.

It probably really is just posturing.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 03:35 PM) Well here's some more. Count the Red Sox out. If that's still there stance they arent going to get anyone. Here we'll take one of the best pitchers in the majors...but you guys cant have any of our best players in the lineup or minors. What a great deal! "but the Red Sox have let other teams know they will not discuss four players: Yoan Moncada, Andrew Benintendi, Michael Kopech and Rafael Devers." http://www.gammonsdaily.com/peter-gammons-...otes-from-july/ What are they trying to offer for Sale then? Lmao

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 03:26 PM) Sucks that the rumors for just about everyone have come to a halt( I understand why but still...need information) Agreed. We'll have to wait a few more still to hear more.
