May 16, 20169 yr QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 15, 2016 -> 10:06 AM) I think you mean the 2014-2015 offseason in terms of targeting Bradley, Jr. It was clear this year that they needed his defense and Betts' in the outfield, and that Hanley Ramirez and probably Rusney Castillo would be the odd men out (Ramirez was moved to 1B.) So they would have offered Castillo/catcher/Owens instead...or we would have gone after the same targets that were traded for Craig Kimbrel (or maybe not, since they were too far off in their development to impact the White Sox until 2017 at the earliest, but probably 2018). No last offseason. Bradley had a sub-par year last year again w the bat. Now he has exploded offensively. They had Young, Castillo, Betts, Holt and Bradley Jr as outfielders and already decided to move Ramirez once they signed Young. But they were desperate for starting pitching . They went out and paid a bundle for Price but they still were short and now are really scrambling for starting pitching. I wouldn't have done the Castillo package for Q and I didn't think the Red Sox would do a Betts package. Oh well. With Rodon struggling it may have best for White Sox in long run.

In 2014, he was at 531 and his prospects were slightly dimmed...looked like the classic all field, no hit type. It was pretty obvious that Castillo and Hanley were the ones that were going to be out of luck in terms of maintaining their outfield positions. Red Sox also seemed to be satisfied with Holt. Castillo just wasn't hitting for enough power, isn't a very good defender and doesn't light up the board with lots of steals, either.
May 16, 20169 yr QUOTE (flavum @ May 14, 2016 -> 09:24 AM) Astros series: Tue- Keuchel vs Rodon Wed- Fister vs Latos Thu- Fiers vs Sale Fiers had to be used yesterday. Collin McHugh is starting Thursday.

He hit .354 in August but then tailed off to .216 in Sept/Oct. based on his tailing off I was hoping the Red Sox would be willing to part w him since Betts had a great year. Oh well, too late now

May 16, 20169 yr QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ May 16, 2016 -> 02:30 PM) Are you really regretting not trading Quintana though? Our rotation would be a complete mess without him. No. I thought Rodon would make Q expendable especially if we were getting a young top notch catcher and CF and a 4-5 SP back. I also felt the Sox needed another SP because of the projected Johnson/Danks 4/5 combo. So in hindsight we would have improved drastically at catcher and CF but Q would have been a huge void w Rodon struggling.
May 17, 20169 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 16, 2016 -> 07:34 PM) 2016 AL ERA Leaders (starters): 1. Jose Quintana (1.54) 2. Chris Sale (1.67) Badass. Now it's time to keep that ball rolling, get Rodon into bulldog mode, refocus the bullpen, and do some deadline patchwork.
May 17, 20169 yr Bob Nightengale ✔ @BNightengale There now are no Latino managers in #MLB, but that should change with #WhiteSox bench coach Rick Renteria getting rave reviews.
May 17, 20169 yr Jason Benetti @jasonbenetti 2h2 hours ago 10 games in 9 days at U.S. Cellular Field starting tonight for @whitesox, who own the only AL division lead (w/ties in the West and East).
May 17, 20169 yr QUOTE (raBBit @ May 17, 2016 -> 12:40 PM) I hate that Sale has all these Central opponents. He typically struggles (relatively speaking) when pitching in the division. It's a new year and Sale is as dominant as ever. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
May 17, 20169 yr Daryl Van Schouwen @CST_soxvan 38m38 minutes ago White Sox bullpen owns a 7.98 ERA (13 ER,14.2 IP) with 19 hits allowed and four blown saves over their last five games.

If no one is willing to sell yet, there is no one to buy from. This is where you really hope the LaRoche money comes in handy so we can take on salary if needed.

May 17, 20169 yr It would be for pitching in my opinion. Someone like Jimmy Nelson is my guess. Edited May 17, 20169 yr by fathom

May 17, 20169 yr I don't think he's actually referring to anyone. He's just saying that he's ready to make a deal at anytime.
May 17, 20169 yr QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ May 17, 2016 -> 05:27 PM) Of the 1.5 GB Rockies? Probably not. I'm thinking Reds for Bruce. The Rockies should know that they have no chance at contending this year, despite their decent start, so it would probably be wise of them to deal Gonzalez while he still has value.

But I was just naming someone in my post who I think they'd be more likely to target. Someone without a long commitment and not taking one of Fulmer or Anderson. The Soxtalk favorite offer of: Johnson/Beck, Sanchez, (insert other low tier prospect here) probably doesn't land you anything to great. Edited May 17, 20169 yr by soxfan2014
