Maybe they need to stop this pattern of little minor league experience. Not everyone is Chris Sale.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 17, 2016 -> 08:24 PM) Well, at least Eaton, Q and Sale give you three huge assets to choose from in making an offseason trade... or build around -

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 17, 2016 -> 07:18 PM) One of the worst offensive innings you will ever see They always seem to have room for improvement in this area. I'm sure they can make it worse. -

It's that time of year again...2016 edition

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Aug 15, 2016 -> 03:04 AM) Because 1) you owe it to fans to play your best players, 2) They are trade candidates, unless you feel like their value is over-inflated and you don't to hurt that value, but allowing them to throw 200+ IP helps prove durability in trade value, and 3) they are both award eligible and I would love to see them get that recognition. You also owe it to the players. -

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 14, 2016 -> 12:13 AM) I have a question for those on the board who want us to lose every game to get a better draft pick, the best possible draft pick. ... Would you be in favor of shutting down Sale and Q, even Robertson, the rest of the season? Why should they pitch the last two weeks of August and four weeks of September and risk injury or wear and tear? We are out of the race for sure. I would think you draftniks would prefer Sale and Q and Robertson simply sit and save their arms for next year. Just as you say there's no plausible reason for us to win any more games, there's equally no plausible reason for Sale and Q to risk injury in meaningless games. Please answer the question for me ... to those who want us to lose games ... should Sale, Q and even Robertson sit the rest of the season because they are virtually meaningless games and they are pitchers we want healthy as we try again next year? Dumbest thing ever in professional sport. Call it the Strasburg syndrome. -
QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Aug 16, 2016 -> 09:31 PM) I like everything about how they handled Fulmer. Everything. Bullpen in Chicago wqs a perfect way to bite his innings but more importantly expose him to the quality of hitters in the majors. Plus the main man big daddy Coop got to spill his undeniable and unarguable wisdom into his ear. I can't wait to see the next version of Fulmer. Then again maybe he would be better off in the minors. Coops track record over the past few years isn't impressive.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 16, 2016 -> 07:50 PM) I'd rather not have Albers pitch at all. I'd also like the manager that puts him in not manage at all.

Could it be possible that the farm system may have someone that is better than Albers?

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Aug 16, 2016 -> 07:10 PM) Has Frazier always been this boom or bust batter? This is his first season facing AL pitching. He might be better next year.

If that longtime scout is part of the organization then it is the pot calling the kettle black. -
The Twins decided to clean house. Their interim GM is not promised the job.

August 14th Game Thread: ChiSox @Miami Marlins
kitekrazy replied to InTheDriversSeat's topic in 2016 Season in Review
QUOTE (hi8is @ Aug 14, 2016 -> 02:31 PM) Yea. Carlos certainly should have made it a much closer play and it's on him. I think if he had a better lead, better secondary lead, and more aggressive off the bat movement - that it still would have been a close play. Considering Mathis didn't have the ball to well secured, if Carlos does the above -- the ball either hits him or gets knocked lose on the play. Well this is the Sox we are talking about. I don't know if there is any other organization that has so many players incapable of base running. -
Ventura says he'd return next year if asked
kitekrazy replied to caulfield12's topic in Pale Hose Talk
If he returns I'm not or if the put another retread. It makes us forget what great players they were. No Thome either unless he's the hitting coach. Cooper is no longer effective either. What manager would say no unless they were retiring. -
I'll pretend it's sarcasm. No more cheats.

Bernstein: Sources say White Sox might be for sale

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 08:43 PM) This is complete nonsense. He owned the team, he gets the credit. 7 championships. 7. How many championships does Chicago even have as a city? Reinsdorf has 7 of them. That sells tickets for a couple of generations. -
August 11th Game Thread: White Sox @ Royals
kitekrazy replied to InTheDriversSeat's topic in 2016 Season in Review
QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 09:37 PM) Additional stat: Sox have now scored three runs or less in 54 of 114 games played. 47%. Doesn't matter who they bring in, doesn't matter what team they come from, a culture of losing has now gripped this organization. Nothing changes until major changes are made on the baseball side of the front office and in the philosophy of the organization. Mark Also getting Sox retreads to run everything. Plus filling holes with career NL players hasn't worked. -

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 09:27 PM) It's telling that it took four plus months for them to notice how the professionalism exemplified by Morneau was sore lacking at the big league level... He looks like a guy who is glad to be back playing baseball. I think it also helps getting guys from winning organizations. -

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 08:38 PM) Fulmer's velocity is down and his command is atrocious. Looks nothing like a starting candidate. Yet Cooper gets a free pass from the fan base. -

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 08:01 PM) Fulmer is very unimpressive. Definite trade bait this offseason if a team values him as a starter. You have hopes that a GM will not see the same we do? He really should be back in the minors. -

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Aug 10, 2016 -> 11:11 PM) WAR: 0.7 0.0 -0.2 -0.9 -0.1 0.0 Total: -0.5 WAR for $17m. And I'd argue a good bit worse than -0.5 when accounting for Navarro's framing. Yikes. I'd be curious what $25M would buy.
