June 24, 20169 yr User Actions Following Dan HayesVerified account @CSNHayes Zach Putnam and #WhiteSox weighing options. Surgery is one possibility, according to GM Rick Hahn. This is not good. I expect to see Zach Burdi soon. Brian Clark and Matt Cooper being fast-tracked as well apparently.

June 24, 20169 yr QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jun 24, 2016 -> 05:30 PM) Buehrle at this very moment would still be better than Purke. Haha let him get a few beers in him, sign him to an MLB deal, and let him pitch out of the pen tonight.
June 25, 20169 yr Spoke to Mark Buehrle. He's here at the White Sox game. He says he hasn't filled out his retirement papers. https://twitter.com/ChuckGarfien/status/746521720748662785 Buehrle said he'd think about coming back to pitch in the White Sox or Blue Jays bullpens. Seriously? Buehrle: "I might be. I might not be." https://twitter.com/ChuckGarfien/status/746521928719044609
June 27, 20169 yr http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/potential...dseason-update/ Potential HR/FB Rate Surgers Player Distance HR/FB Jose Abreu 315.08 13.6% Seth Smith 313.97 12.5% Stephen Piscotty 308.97 10.5% Gerardo Parra 306.44 10.4% Kendrys Morales 306.07 11.9% The above list looks rather similar to the last one I published a month and a half ago! There’s Jose Abreu at the top again. When I published the first article, his HR/FB rate stood at a mere 12.2%. Since then, it has increased to 15%, which isn’t significant; however, that stretch includes 16 straight games without a homer from mid-May into the beginning of June. This month, his HR/FB rate is a more normal 19.2%. Tiny sample size, of course, but I’ve been advising everyone to buy Abreu for a while now and the window is quickly closing to get any sort of discount.

It's actually applause worthy nothingness. Totally serious, well done Rick.
