April 20, 20169 yr QUOTE (Dunt @ Apr 19, 2016 -> 11:22 PM) Truly fun game to watch tonight. Nice W boys! Anyone else think the Sox would be better served to move Rollins to DH for the time being and have Saladino take over at SS? I could get behind this.
April 20, 20169 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 19, 2016 -> 10:57 PM) It's supposed to start at 4!! weather.com says 5! and that is only 50%
April 20, 20169 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 19, 2016 -> 10:18 PM) If the season ended today, would Mat Latos win the Cy Young? Not if Albers has anything to say about it.
April 20, 20169 yr QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 12:52 AM) Interesting. You know something? I think it's a great idea Edited April 20, 20169 yr by BigHurt3515
April 20, 20169 yr Why are we playing 2 1 PM games for the next two days? What's the rationale behind that?
April 20, 20169 yr QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 01:00 AM) You know something? I think it's a great idea Yeah, that's actually not a bad idea at all. Rollins has been fine on D, but I would have to think Saladino much more range and a better arm. And I trust Rollins and Dino with a bat far more than Avi.
April 20, 20169 yr Great win. With Latos and Sale pitching like aces we should have this type of record.

Helps the defense out and I think Saladino gives you way better at bats then Garcia does. Someone send Robin an email!
April 20, 20169 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 19, 2016 -> 09:01 PM) Latos looking like 2003 Esteban Loaiza out there. Or he could be the reincarnation of Philip Humber. I was thinking Jon Garland
April 20, 20169 yr If the season ended today, would Mat Latos win the Cy Young? http://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/...g-leaders.shtml Latos leads or is tied for the AL lead in: WAR, ERA, Wins, Win%, WHIP, H/9, HR/9, ERA+, and WPA. Only 6th in FIP though. Quintana is 1st and Sale is 3rd.
April 20, 20169 yr QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 02:01 AM) Great win. With Latos and Sale pitching like aces we should have this type of record. Quintana--now overshadowed by Mat Latos?

Anyone else think the Sox would be better served to move Rollins to DH for the time being and have Saladino take over at SS? Avi is useless. I'm all for it. Puts a better hitter in DH and upgrades the defense at SS.

April 20, 20169 yr QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 01:23 AM) Watching the game right now and damn Avi. He does himself no favors at the plate. He seems to have no plan at the plate. He's going up first pitch swinging hoping for a fastball but instead he's getting breaking pitches and is way off. They need to send him down to AAA and bring up Coats.

Bring up Coats to play left, send down Avi and DH Melky. Perfect.

He's going up first pitch swinging hoping for a fastball but instead he's getting breaking pitches and is way off. They need to send him down to AAA and bring up Coats. Could Coats honestly be any worse than Garcia? Coats is decent in the OF too, right? Farmer and DJ were talking about Garcia last night and a conversation they had with him about the struggles of being a DH instead of playing a position. They were acting act like he was better when he plays the field. He's not. And he's so bad in the field that he adds more negative value. I think Garcia is in Charlotte or out of the org by May 15.
April 20, 20169 yr Bring up Coats to play left, send down Avi and DH Melky. Perfect. I'll go a step further. When Johnson is sent back down, send Avi with him and bring up Coats and Sanchez. vs RHP Eaton 9 Sanchez 4 Abreu 3 Frazier 5 Melky 7 Lawrie DH Rollins 6 Avila 2 Jackson 8 vs LHP Eaton 9 Coats 7 Abreu 3 Frazier 5 Melky DH Lawrie 4 Navarro 2 Saladino 6 Jackson 8
April 20, 20169 yr Maybe since April night games are so brutal they wanted them in day. I also think our string of 18 straight games was with assumption 4-5 would rain out

Anyone else think the Sox would be better served to move Rollins to DH for the time being and have Saladino take over at SS? That would leave the White Sox without a back up IF on the bench. If one were to get hurt, we'd lose the DH to put Rollins in.

April 20, 20169 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 09:23 AM) Send down Avi bring up Carlos or Leury If we send Avi down and bring Leury over Sanchez... yikes
April 20, 20169 yr http://m.whitesox.mlb.com/news/article/173...eason-dominance Article about Latos command of the strike zone and his approach.
April 20, 20169 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 10:40 AM) If we send Avi down and bring Leury over Sanchez... yikes I think we benefit more from Sanchez every day, fine with Leury being first up due to his speed + positional versatility.
