May 17, 20169 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 17, 2016 -> 04:39 PM) The top one is everything. 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. Isn't that what we used on Danks, though?
May 17, 20169 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 17, 2016 -> 05:54 PM) Isn't that what we used on Danks, though? That was already a sunk cost going into the season no matter what.
May 18, 20169 yr QUOTE (Tony @ May 17, 2016 -> 06:43 PM) Yeah, that's not really how finances work. That money was already paid to Danks and on the payroll, whether he was on the roster or not. Him being cut would have no affect on the LaRoche money that didn't have to be paid. No, I know that. I'm saying theoretically, isn't the money we "saved" by LaRoche's retirement essentially cancelled out by Danks' paid salary, given that neither player is on the team?
May 18, 20169 yr QUOTE (Tony @ May 17, 2016 -> 10:43 PM) Absolutely not. When the Sox went to Spring Training in 2016, they had a set payroll they were comfortable with, and it included being in the final year of contracts with both LaRoche and Danks. The point is the front office was prepared to pay LaRoche and Danks in full. The only thing that changed was 13 million removed from that equation when LaRoche left. As Rowand send, Danks was a sunk cost the entire time, they were prepared to pay it anyway. Ah, I see. Thanks

May 21, 20169 yr Erik Johnson will be called up to pitch the 2nd game of Monday's DH per beat guys on twitter.

May 23, 20169 yr I goofed earlier. June 21 is at Boston. Sale's 9 starts until the break: 5-24 vs Indians 5-29 at Royals 6-4 at Tigers 6-10 vs Royals 6-15 vs Tigers 6-21 at Red Sox 6-26 vs Blue Jays 7-2 at Astros 7-8 vs Braves
May 23, 20169 yr Nice that he gets to pitch against the Indians AND Sunday against the Royals. KC's line-up is better suited for RHPers, in general. Too bad he doesn't get to match up with Syndergaard, though.
May 24, 20169 yr Following Game 1 of tonight’s straight doubleheader, the #WhiteSox optioned infielder Carlos Sanchez and recalled RHP Erik Johnson. -- @whitesox
May 24, 20169 yr With Kahnle going down since he's the 26th man, are we really going to roll with a 3-man bench of Saladino/Sands/Avila with Johnson as an extra pitcher? Can he really be sent down tomorrow despite him not being the 26th DH guy?

Can he really be sent down tomorrow despite him not being the 26th DH guy? I did not think there were rules about sending a guy back down, only if you wanted to call him back up after sending him down?

This is correct. We can send Johnson down but can't call Sanchez back up for ten days unless there is an injury.

Can he really be sent down tomorrow despite him not being the 26th DH guy? I think Johnson was guy #26. Called up only to pitch the second game of the DH. Sanchez went down too.

May 24, 20169 yr QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ May 24, 2016 -> 03:56 PM) Just curious - anyone know what Dayan Viciedo is up to this year? Last I heard he was destroying the ball in Japan. Haven't checked in a while though.
May 24, 20169 yr QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 24, 2016 -> 03:57 PM) Last I heard he was destroying the ball in Japan. Haven't checked in a while though. Yup - didn't realize he went to Japan. .310/.401/.592 with 10 2B, 13 HR and 35 RBI in in 174 AB. Its the Dayan we had all hoped for!
May 25, 20169 yr Can someone alert Yahoo to take the very offensive description off the Yahoo search page for the White Sox ? Whoever hacked that page is a loser and should have their internet privileges revoked.
May 25, 20169 yr The Chicago White Sox are an American trailer trash professional baseball team based on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois. The White Sox are members of the American League (AL) Central division in Major... wikipedia.org Just have to laugh. It obviously doesn't show up on the wikipedia main page.
