The first thing they should do while on this road trip is flip flop Eaton and Micah in the batting order. Eaton has been All Around Awful in April.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 30, 2015 -> 08:08 PM) I wonder if Hawk still thinks this is the best defensive outfield in the AL Not after that throw.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 12:36 PM) So we can still likely get a comp pick for Jeff right? Only if we make a qualifying offer and he rejects it. Why would the Sox make the offer, and if made, why would he not accept it, given his performance so far this season.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 12:31 PM) I had a bad feeling that today was going to be like this....you leave a team in the middle of a war zone for two days and they are bound to come out rattled. Sounds like something Samardzija's agent will argue.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 28, 2015 -> 04:52 PM) Eh, I've visited and will have to disagree. I've lived in NYC and Seattle and spent quite a bit of time in Chicago. You couldn't pay me enough money to live in Baltimore. I mean, you could, but it would have to be at least double what I make now in Seattle, in a nice city. Baltimore gets a bad rap from the Wire but hell that show was accurate imo. It's not a nice place. I don't even think the Inner Harbor area is that nice frankly. A lot of aggressive panhandling in that area when I was there. And yet, there are parts of Maryland that are really beautiful.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 28, 2015 -> 04:03 PM) I read that they did today. Now they have some free time to do some looting. Is there anything left?

Does anyone here know if the Sox players still come to the ball park to work out? Just curious.

He'll land somewhere. I heard that both Boston and Arizona are looking at him. Either way, he gets paid.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Apr 27, 2015 -> 10:18 PM) In fairness, his inability to play any position other than 1B was going to require the development of significantly more power. But yeah, it seems like the org undervalues the rare guy who actually shows a quality approach. That's why we have the DH.

Who is the GM who engineered that signing? He's right up there with the Phillies GM.

QUOTE (AlSoxfan @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 09:16 PM) Lucroy would be a dream but why do you call him a cheater? I'm sure Stan was referring to Braun as the "cheater".

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 25, 2015 -> 11:27 AM) LMAO. Take your Royal blue colored glasses off for a minute. Who was the guy Eaton got into it with? He got 7 games. If Eaton started it he would have at least received a fine. And as long as you are calling something imdisputable fact, why don't you take a break from kansascity.com and link some of those incidents as proof Adam Eaton is a bad guy and Ventura just an innocent victim. The only source that said Eaton started it was Harold Reynolds. Eaton told people he was yelling at himself. .....And Harold Reynolds has his own agenda. Not worth listening to.

QUOTE (LDF @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 11:05 PM) i am not going to be making this about anyone but me, but i am wondering, was i wrong about this team? going into the season, i was sure, this team as assembled, would be doing better, much better. i think, looking at the roster on paper, they have the horses to get it done, but where is the problem? The horses are the problem.

K. Walker has come back. Hitting in the .240's with 7 bags.

Saw the end yesterday but missed a couple of innings mid game. Why did Micah leave early? Never heard.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 19, 2015 -> 09:20 PM) Micah did earn a spot. Carlos has had 103 ABs in the majors. He has a .280 OBP, .591 OPS, 26 strike outs. He hasn't really set the world on fire in the majors either. Difference is, Micah is much faster and has drawn the same amount of walks in 1/4 of the PAs. I think Sanchez deserves more of an opportunity than that initial stretch last year after his late season call up. He might have had some rookie jitters. I would rather have him on the bench than Bonifacio.

Sometime last year I thought Quintana was turning into a junk ball pitcher.....Now he is one.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 04:03 PM) If Micah is going to sit against tough lefties he should be in AAA. If he's the future at 2B he's going to be a regular. Regulars play against tough matchups. It's why they are regulars. Of course, on the evidence, he's not a MLB ready 2B. So yea, not only is he not playing every day in the hopes he can improve against tough lefties, he's not in AAA either. Good job White Sox you've completely f***ed it up! Meanwhile all Sanchez does is outhit Micah in spring, play an elite 2B in his cup of coffee last year, and he gets sent to AAA. After Ramirez' comments today they might have a full on mutiny on their hands. What were his comments?

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 02:51 PM) i just uploaded the tag to Youtube. HE WAS OUT You're correct. He did tag him on the foot. Still a lousy play and Robin has to take the bullet. We'll probably never know if Hahn even discusses it with him.

Somehow infielders have evolved so that they are now afraid to make a tag.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 07:30 PM) Am I the only one who has given up on Davidson? It was a good trade idea, just poorly scouted. Don't pile on Davidson.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 06:02 PM) There's just a shocking lack of offensive potential in the farm. The gap from Anderson to next best offensive prospect is huge. Thankfully the pitching depth is very good. That's been said for many years now.

How much longer before the Matt Lindstrom experiment ends? Same question with Brad Penny.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 08:38 PM) I don't mind caught stealings unless its against a catcher with a gun . Micah needs to learn pitchers pick off moves. He's got a long way to go to really utilize his speed. Eaton makes a lot more baserunning mistakes than most would think he does. That trying to stretch a double into a triple with 2 outs is just wrong on so many levels. Never make the 3rd out at 3rd base is a base running rule because you're already in scoring position and probably will score on any hit because you get the huge jump with 2 outs. You have to trust your team mates behind you to get the job done. It's just Eaton trying to pad his triples stats and it's extremely stupid and selfish. You keep the inning alive and who knows maybe Cabrera hits a HR or gets a walk or hit and Abreu hits one out. It isn't unheard of for teams to have 2 out rallies. Right on. Wonder if RV said anything to Eaton...

six K's to end the last two innings.
