QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 04:51 PM) You know...I wonder if Rasmus for Quentin...might not fit the needs of both Not even close. Rasmus is worth tons. Quentin is worth little. Mozeliak hangs up laughing.

Scouting the Sally has a nice piece up on Tyler Saladino: http://scoutingthesally.com/2010/09/scouti...cago-white-sox/ More at the link. Preferring Saladino to Vitek is what stood out to me. Hopefully he can stick at SS.

Sale to compete for a starting job in spring training next year. He is Peavy insurance it seems. Article also mentions the possibility of a 6 man rotation (lol wut) or Sale moving back into the pen after Peavy returns. (if Peavy's return was delayed in the first place) http://tinyurl.com/2b8tr2f

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 16, 2010 -> 09:14 PM) I think there is no way Chris Sale isn't a starter in some capacity next year. Correct.

Morel at 3B no question. I'm not sure Dayan is ready to consistently field or hit at the major league level yet. Morel will at least provide good defensive value.

I'd really like to see both gone, but I don't see that happening. I want to see Hahn given a shot to build a team and a farm system that could sustain success. The speculation that Kenny is going to move to VP with Hahn taking over would make me happy. Supposedly Hahn is a candidate for the Mets GM job though.

This is what one should expect from Harrell. Amazing pitching depth on the farm isn't it?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 08:07 AM) I think that's a poor idea. He's struggled enough with his control already. Let him work on controlling everything in the AFL and ST next year and maybe, just maybe, we can think that we are 6 deep in starters coming into next year, although that'd still be pushing it. He is also pushing up against his innings limit this year. He won't be starting any games this season.

QUOTE (chisoxfan09 @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 11:28 PM) I hear ya, I was just pointing out that after 2011 the rotation may change in a big way as Buerhle's contract is over, JDanks may be dangled/traded if he does not commit long term, Peavy (WHo knows how he will return), and EJax is also a FA. Only one under contract with any sort of stability will be Floyd. There will be many threads about this next year of course. No doubt. He might replace Danks eventually. Things are always in flux, especially with Kenny at the helm. As others noted, I really hope Sale isn't traded.

QUOTE (chisoxfan09 @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 11:17 PM) I hate to say it, but maybe he was lefty insurance in case we did not lock up J Danks long term. Next Lefty with any starting potential is Leesman in AA. He should be ready in 2012. Backend though (4/5). I'm not banking on Leesman doing anything. Sale is merely the best pitcher that fell to the Sox at that spot. Conveniently he is a lefty, and was a steal at the 13th pick.

QUOTE (chisoxfan09 @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 11:08 PM) Can Sale be starter material in a year or two? Yes. He already is starter material.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 07:14 PM) Two things; 1) who are some new GMs that have came into baseball the last year or so? That may give us insight in to who the surprise player may be. 2) I have a feeling, Harrell would be part of a Dunn deal. I think the Nats wanted to see him in the bigs to see what he has. Harrell is a nothing.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 05:09 PM) Hellickson got pulled from his start today. I would laugh my ass off if Dunn gets traded for Hellickson. Saw this earlier. They could also move Wade Davis for Dunn and put Hellickson into the rotation.

QUOTE (daggins @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 05:39 PM) The Braves and Rays have already signed guys. Man I wish we had their scouting and development systems. I wish we would be willing to spend significantly more on the Draft/IFA.

QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 09:02 AM) Also I hate all the Keith Law bashing. I respect his opinion perhaps more than anyone else when it comes to prospect evaluating. The White Sox system doesn't get any love from him because it doesn't deserve any and it may be the worst in baseball right now. Ding Ding Ding! This.
