I don't get why the Twins would move Buxton from the leadoff spot to #9 in the order. He provided a spark last night, why fix something if it ain't broke?

Welcome to the forum! I'm a relatively new member myself, but there is no better place to talk Sox baseball than here.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 23, 2015 -> 10:04 AM) Danks deserves to go, he has made a lot of guys all stars this year. Post of the week. Well done.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 22, 2015 -> 08:31 PM) I would rather see Junior Guerra start Me too. Scott Carroll or even Brad oldass Penny would be better options.

Please get rid of Danks. PLEASE.

Alexei is done. Enough said.

Another out on the basepaths...sheesh.

Danks fuggin blows.

Robertson MIGHT have a chance if he starts to pitch well again. He was dominating for a long time until he hit a road bump a few weeks ago.

I'm 99.9% sure that Sale will be there, but will any other Sox players make it? Maybe Abreu and Robertson could have a chance to get in. What do you guys think? I figured this could be a nice discussion.

QUOTE (jdupps @ Jun 21, 2015 -> 11:11 AM) If the SOX are not willing to trade Sale or Quintana, Abreu is the only position player in our entire system that would return a proven starter and top prospect. It would be interesting to see what the SOX could get for Avi. Since this team has 5 major holes (C,1B,2B,SS,DH) out of 8 moving Abreu or Avi still leaves 4-5 holes just at different positions. How are 1B/DH holes? Abreu and LaRoche aren't terrible.

Were they even that close? I really don't know.

I like Avi batting 2nd. He should get better pitches to hit now that Abreu is behind him.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 21, 2015 -> 12:02 AM) There's no reason to trade Sale, Q, Rodon or Danks. Once again, that's a good foursome for the future. A playoff foursome. Now what they have to do like I said before is try again with the everyday lineup and bullpen. Trade all the guys I've mentioned in many threads as a do-over and also add Duke and Robertson to the trade lineup. You are talking about another chance at acquiring productive ballplayers. Hahn can't keep striking zero on trades. Granted Melky and LaRoche and Lexi, etc., won't bring as much as before but they'll still bring something. Boston is starting DeAza for gawdsakes. Teams need name players and we got em and need to f***ing trade them ASAP! Time is wasting. We're not winning anything with these guys in the future. Trade them now. The words "Danks" and "a good future" should never be used in the same thought.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 20, 2015 -> 11:10 PM) They never deal though. I think their last deal was Aardsma for Cotts. I know, that's why all these rumors are BS and a waste of time. We all know that nothing will ever come of them.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 20, 2015 -> 11:05 PM) He was a 5 WAR player last year, is cheap, and locked up for 5 years. It would cost Schwarber or there's not a chance I'd make the deal. Why do people keep bringing up Cubs/Sox trades anyway? They never happen. Same here. But it is what it is. I just don't think the Cubs would give up that much talent for Q. I feel like the Sox/Cubs are always brought up as trade partners because the Sox have the "desirable" veterans that the Cubs could use to further their "playoff push", and the Cubs have some nice prospects that the Sox could use to help boost the farm system and to hopefully make an impact in future years.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 20, 2015 -> 11:01 PM) I'd take Schwarber and Baez for Q probably. Or maybe Schwarber, Villanueva, and Alcantara I highly, highly, highly, highly doubt the Cubs would be willing to part with Schwarber without getting Sale in return. I think we value Q a lot more than they do.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Jun 20, 2015 -> 10:51 PM) To sum up thread: Sale is paid to do his job, it sucks he doesn't get help, but wins for a pitcher don't really matter. The White Sox cannot possibly win a trade with Sale in it, so he's untradeable.

QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Jun 20, 2015 -> 10:10 PM) Young, left, relatively cheap for an extended period of time, slots into the top 3 of pretty much any rotation in baseball. Schwarber, Starlin Castro, and Pierce Johnson would be my asking price. Might be crazy, idk, but Q's value to our team is extremely high in my opinion. There is no chance the Cubs accept that offer, sorry.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 20, 2015 -> 05:34 PM) Just got back from the game, good to get a win. 3-1 this season when I go and 8-1 the last 2 years. Eaton did a great job today getting on base. He's slowly getting that average up. Rodon was fantastic, making hitters look dumb. Was the ump squeezing both pitchers today? It looked like it, but couldn't really tell from the upper deck. There was not a hard hit ball hit off of Rodon today. It was great to watch. Just glad Sox got a win. I noticed this as well, especially when Rodon was pitching inside to right handed hitters.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Jun 20, 2015 -> 04:29 PM) Horrible offense yet again. Only scored one run and then just gifted the other two on an absolutely easy double play ball that andrus booted. We won a game that was given to us, we need to actually win a game I think we should take whatever we can get at this point.

You guys are complaining after a win? Jesus.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 20, 2015 -> 01:50 PM) Rangers lost the review rest of game right............wrong they can ask for umpire review so losing challenge does not mean s***. ............

Sanchez is awful.

This defense...man.
