Did anyone see Stoney and Hawk going out about a pitch that disagreed on going out of the park or being tough to hit?

The Sox have a lot of guys who are more valuable to them than as a trade chip. Most of their minor league OF's fit that description, Axelrod, most of the Sox bullpen (except maybe Reed by the end of the year), Viciedo, Gillaspie

 

Viciedo is someone that POSSIBLY has more value on the market than what he actually provides. Everyone else, I totally agree with you about.

Yeah, that was awesome...

Tied for 2nd highest average in the lineup though.

 

He is 3 for 3

The story on Santiago might change if he goes on a run of good starts. I could see him becoming highly sought after very quickly. That said, I would be asking for a lot.

 

 

Why would we be trading Santiago?

 

That makes about zero sense with Danks' comeback far from certain.

 

 

We all knew Clayton Richard has hit limitations, but it's going to be a huge disappointment unless they get a surefire offensive threat along the lines of 2012 Josh Reddick back.

Why would you not trade Sale?

 

Cause if you rebuild and aim for 3-4 years from now of competing again, he's still signed at an affordable contract. When you see a team like the Cubs sign Edwin Jackson for as much as they did in hopes of having him on a competing pitching staff down the road, it makes you value someone like Sale more.

Ok he is the 2nd tallest midget whoopie doo.

That organization has to see him as an everyday player (RF/LF/1B/DH) and also have patience with him.

 

And be seriously lacking in power.

 

Which is the exact definition of the White Sox with Konerko leaving, AJ gone, Dunn and Rios soon after.

Lefties just 3/21 against Thornton this year.

 

Will give him some credit for that.

 

 

 

C'mon Ventura, your move.

I'd rather use the pieces I might get for him to try and actually rebuild than hope the timing of it just happens to coincide with his current contract structure...

Here comes the 5 guys to get 12 outs, system.

Someone want to explain why Thornton was left in for Escobar, considering he bats almost .380 against LHP?

get this fatass butler to roll into a DP and move on

I don't know that Lindstrom would have been ready, I thought they said he was just getting up just as Thornton finished his warmups?

Would have picked Crain over Lindstrom.

 

This is not the time to be waiting for what might happen the next inning.

 

Need to get out of this inning with the lead.

 

 

It worked. But that ball was scalded. At least Keppinger made a big play.

thank you

Boom!

Keppinger bails everyone out with nice defensive play. Lindstrom with some big DP this week.

Gotcha, thanks

DP

Lindstrom was the right choice because he induces significantly more ground balls than Crain

Humber getting shelled again 4-0 Detroit already.

Kepp shut me up with that defensive play.

 

Hats off.

LOL

 

This is the perfect example of why Soxtalk would never have the stomach for a rebuild. Viciedo plays one major league season, hits 25 bombs and 75 RBI, and he is trash. You guys would never have been able to handle the development of the guys you love on KC, many of whom are still not producing

 

You don't develop LF'ers. That would be a bad rebuild and one I would not be able to stomach.
