QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 03:32 PM) One thing that scares me about rebuilding, the Royals. All those highly ranked prospects suck. Gordon is the best thing they got out of all those top 10 guys and he's about as average as can be. I don't think we'll be going with the Royals type of plan. Our rebuilding of the farm system won't last more than next year's trade deadline, if that long

Tino Martinez resigns as Marlins hitting coach after a series of allegations of abuse. Apparently verbally and physically intimidating players. Jose Canseco announces on twitter that he'd like to be considered for the job.

Nate Jones is nasty. Imagine if he had panned out as a starter with his stuff

I don't really mind Tank swinging 3-0

Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 7m How close we are to Peavy trade not known. However, source says Oakland, then Texas are top possibilities.

Nice job Hector!

Addison Russell or gtfo

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 02:19 PM) JIM BOWDEN ‏@JimBowdenESPNxm now Peavy about to be traded according to Bruce Levine ESPN Chicago...could be A's or Braves (Red Sox, Cardinals, O's say it's not them) lol, welcome to trade deadline

Hector says "this 96mph heater should do me some good"

Announce a deal! Let THIS be my unproductive day.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 01:39 PM) There is no in between here. There is no benefit to winning this year besides sabotaging a draft pick. The benefit is that the three hours a day I spend watching are better spent

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 01:33 PM) Just outside of Nashville for me. I have spent quite a bit of time there and love it. My work would need to happen out of the West End. Nashville's a nice place. Check out Yazoo Brewing if you're ever visiting

I know we suck, but I still love watching the White Sox. It won't be bother me any if we win out this year

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 01:23 PM) Hawaii. Actually had a job prospect based there that went nowhere because the guy wouldn't tell me what the specifics of the job were. If you have to ask, you're not qualified

But why in the f*** would Cruz not take a "plea deal" if he could?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 01:18 PM) So? That's where he's been all season. He was 89-93 his last 2 starts out, 89-94 the starts before that. A few starts from now, he'll be all the way from 89-85

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 12:46 PM) If that is what happen, guys like Micah Johnson, Semien, and Sanchez will have nowhere to play. Although Semien has been playing 3B lately Who gives a f*** about those guys? Not trying to be a naysayer, but one in the hand is worth two in the bush. If those guys look like MLB ready players, those are good problems. Don't skip out on a good player because you think a couple 22 year olds in A+ and AA might be ready in a year. I say this as someone that really likes Marcus Semien. Get all the potential MLB guys that you can and figure out the rest later.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 12:43 PM) Maybe it's because I'm a Gordon Beckham fan and hope what we have seen from him this year is what we'll get consistently for the future butttt....I'm not a fan of Wong being the offensive player we get back. Yes he's showed more power this year in the minors than Gordo but I think once that wrist fully heals those 2 guys will be pretty much the same player. Martinez and Kelly though I'm intrigued by. I don't necessarily think the Sox need to add pitching at all but it could certainly open up future trades to improve the team. Gordon and Wong are not necessarily competing for the same spot

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 12:23 PM) For some reason I am feeling a Marcus Semien trade forthcoming. ...why would we do that?

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 12:36 PM) Forcing TX to step up . Brilliant ! Why didn't I predict this rumor ? What does Peavy to Oak have to do with Texas? You think that'll make them want Rios more?

We're probably giving them a lot of money in that scenario too. It's definitely not an overpay. We're improving their team dramatically

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 12:04 PM) Cards fans seem irate at that idea Good. That would be a good barometer for whether a trade is good or not Soxtalk has never been pleased with a trade at first blush, I don't think. It's what fans do

Yeah, I think I'd be pleased with that deal. The players alone don't make it an amazing deal, but there has to be something said for the cash savings too

Cruz is an idiot if he appeals
