Probably. Looking deeper, Clevingers rehab time is up, and Moncada is supposedly having some physical issues.

Maybe they are cutting bait.

Probably not, but he has as recently as last year. And all you are going to get for Pham is a lottery ticket.

How about Pham for Outman? Who says no?

Ever since the Sox couldn't touch him, he's been brutal.

Most of us became Sox fans because of our dads, so most of these will be dad stories. i'm no different. He took me to my first game when I was 3 or 4. I still remember parts as crazy as that seems. It was helmet day, and a double header. We sat in the first row of the upper deck at Old Comiskey around first base. My dad caught a foul ball, and even though I really had no clue as to what that really was, i was gushing with pride when he got a nice ovation for the catch., and was very curious when he handed me the ball. The other thing I remember was another ball came up and hit off the façade right below me. I do remember my dad trying to show me how I should have trapped the ball using my new helmet. I WAS 3. I couldn't have done that when I was 23. He also had 3 secretaries, and would take them to a Sox game every year, and let me come along. I remember stopping to eat somewhere on the way home once, and Bucky Dent came in and sat at a table right next to us. My dad want me to walk over and introduce myself, but I was way too shy. Growing up in the NW suburbs, my dad would come home around 6 pm, and I would always ask him if he wanted to go to the Sox game. Once in a while he said yes, and one of those times was Richie Zisk's return to Comiskey Park in 1978 with Texas. Sox fans were not happy he left. My younger brother came with us, and we moved around the park. At one point we were in the CF bleachers and Zisk was coming to bat. Everyone was chanting f*** you Zisk, f*** you Zisk...so my brother and I jointed in . My dad laughed. Obviously everything peaks in 2005. My season ticket partner could not make the 2nd game of the WS, and told me to take my dad. Game 2 was Paulie's grand slam and Pods walk off. My dad was going nuts. As we were leaving he said it was the greatest White Sox game he had ever attended. I agreed. They wound up winning the WS on his birthday.

Apparently not. Schriffen probably bows to Brooks every day.

have no idea, but you would think it would be something he could have got out of.

Schriff and Stone were DFA'd No, John is doing NBA summer league games and Steve is taking a break.

Last 2 starts 13 innings 2 hits 21 strikeouts.

Your boy Getz did something that only 13 other people in MLB history have done. Build a team that only won 27 of its first 100 games. Can’t waste a year. Great hire. He knew it was the hitting coach keeping this team down last season.

That is a good point. As much as I think his material plays better with a team that isn’t historically horrible, if they were good, his ass kissing more than likely goes up a few levels. And why is it OK for Schriffen to miss games doing summer league NBA and Jason thrown to the curb for actually doing major sports?

When Bowden was a GM, he had a reputation of valuing his players way too high. He would never had made this trade from a White Sox perspective.

Or as John Schriffen calls him, future superstar Bryan Ramos.

He's definitely a different type player than the Sox have called up in recent years. I do think it is too soon, and really don't want the Sox top guys getting too tight with these losers. 27-71 and it's a happy clubhouse tells you all you need to know about the mindset of most of the roster.

That didn't take long.

The thing is, yeah I get you sign crap like this to see if you can get him figured out, but the Reds couldn't do it. The Nats couldn't do it this year. The White Sox can't get their own guys to hit and field. How is this guy going to find something in 60 games? Its a waste of money that they will claim they don't have when needed.

I feel like Tiger fans felt when they signed Gordon Beckham.

Sosa had a hot streak and has been pretty bad outside of it. But I still don't understand in the Sox current situation, why you would rather give ABs to Senzel and not Sosa.

Lee becomes the primary catcher just as his OPS tumbles almost below .600. Sosa and Mendick gone, two others Stome and the Schriff couldn’t praise enough.

How are they going to spin this in the broadcast booth? They always told us how valuable he is, now they will pay him to sit on his couch and eat sausages .

The parking lot attendants do suck.

yeah buddy. Que the fireworks.

It is, but haven't they tortured Sox fans enough? Now we get to watch this dope? No hit, no field, never healthy,owed minimum, that's a 4 tool player under the White Sox model.

He can’t hit. He can’t field. He can’t stay healthy. A White Sox trifecta.
