We're stuck with a(nother) bad contract.

 

 

Have you looked at the free agent SS's available this offseason???

 

After Stephen Drew, as bad as he's been this year, Ramirez would be a clear #2.

 

Other than the possibility of Danks (we still don't know how much his injury was affecting him), Rios/Peavy/Dunn have ALL been earning their contract dollars this year.

 

If we'd kept Quentin and he was out the first two months, you'd be complaining about that, or Santos' "bad contract" too.

LQ shows me more heart than Floyd/Humber combined.

Who is LQ?

Is there a point when you stop complaining? I think that would really make everyone happy on here.

 

I doubt you speak for everyone.

We gotta man there!

No just for a majority. Your a broken record.

Buehrle-esque.

He wouldn't make past the worst team in the AL.

Mariners

exact same situation for quintana there as wainwright was in...

 

wainwright got beaten on the fastball without using his best pitch (curveball)....quintana got out of it by getting the guy to swing at ball 1, and then forced him to swing at the slider...nice

He wouldn't make past the worst team in the AL.

He's no daisy.......no daisy at all!

Mariners

 

The twins would claim for two reasons. Number one to get him away from us, #2 because he is a top 10 SS in MLB today.

If there is that much interest in him then he needs to be dealt. Let someone else pay the $30M owed.

This has been a well played game by our White Sox so far!

Ahh yes...they should have never traded JJ Hardy

I understand your frustration, but why an absolute lack of patience

Good AB by Jose!

YOU PITCH AROUND THE SERPENT

Stephen Drew walk away, even if he is the best shortstop in the Class of '13. Drew, as Drews are wont to do, has returned slowly from an injury. Granted, he broke his ankle in horrific fashion, something that seems not to matter to Arizona owner Ken Kendrick, who emptied an Uzi at Drew's character last week. Enjoy that dynamic Willie Bloomquist/John McDonald duo at shortstop, Kenny! Stock report: Down

 

• Alex Gonzalez A 35-year-old coming off a torn ACL is the second-best shortstop available. Stock report: Down.

• Marco Scutaro: A 36-year-old with an adjusted OPS of 72 playing his home games in Colorado is the third-best shortstop available. Stock report: Down.

• Jason Bartlett Forget an OPS+ of 72. That's triple Bartlett's 24, which ranks as the 17th lowest in the last five years among hitters with at least 98 plate appearances. Stock report: Way down.

• Yuni Betancourt: Told you shortstop was dreadful. Stock report: Even.

• Option option: The Tigers should exercise Jhonny Peralta's $6 million option, even if Peralta isn't terribly keen on exercise himself. His weight yo-yoing continues while …

 

Quintana draws the walk. #fearthepitcher

If we were blowing this team up, that would make sense. We are in first place. Teams in first place don't dump their top 10 SS.

Meanwhile, Marty's best idea at SS this offseason was Brent Lillibridge. That would be working out really well.

 

Sure, let's just stick Escobar there, we're only in the middle of a pennant race because we're "all in" again but now we want to save money we'll have to pay Alexei Ramirez 2-3 seasons from now.

 

In the meantime, attendance for watching the Lillibridge/Escobar show at SS will nosedive to 14,241 per game. FIRE KW!!!

Dunn make them pay.

I understand your frustration, but why an absolute lack of patience

 

No lack of patience really. At 31, I see this as the start of a downhill slide for him.

 

Reds up over the Indians 4-1, after being brutalized by the Tribe last year in the Governor's Cup.

 

Let's try to hold this one, boys!
