QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 11:28 AM) Kid went to the same high school as Hahn. I'll be curious now to see how Duke performs with a better organization. Mark Since it's the NL, might be slightly better.

QUOTE (BamaDoc @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 11:45 AM) You save 7 million and get a guy who can play center and hits lefty. While he has little power, if he is a cardinal he will do everything else the "right" way. That will change if he stays on the Sox farm.

QUOTE (infohawk @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 10:07 AM) What stands out for me is that Tilson appears to have some on-base skills. He has an above average .OBP and can draw some walks. The Sox need more consistent .OBP throughout the line-up for a more consistent offensive attack. Additionally, sounds like he has the potential to play slightly above average defense. Not a bad return for Duke. So coming from a much superior farm system I wonder how long it will take to "uncardinal" him to be the likes of a Avi.

My list Albers, Ventura, Cooper.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 10:08 PM) The Sox bullpen is really, really, REALLY bad. Mark Don't worry Coop will fix it.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jul 30, 2016 -> 11:10 AM) These games are awesome to go to. I don't know if the whether is always nicer (since most games are played at night)...but I usually just go plop my butt down right next to the dugout. Looking forward to it this year now. REALLY looking forward to fall actually....I'm so friggin sick of summer out here right now! Oh so true. Last year I went to one of the summer ones. No one watches those but who in their right mind wants to watch in the evening when it's 108.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 10:53 PM) Kahnle is yet another example of the lack of depth in this organization. I wish I never have to see him pitch for the Sox again. and people think this organization has the ability to rebuild...........HAHAHAHAHAHA

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 10:54 PM) His defense isn't the problem, it's his lack of hitting this year. The DH spot would be an option if he was 2015 Abreu. That is true. Players have off years. Hopefully this is the case.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 10:53 PM) This game has all the elements of how this season has gone. Eaton hits a leadoff dinger-provides false hope. Starting pitching is excellent, offense does nothing. No clutch from the pen either. No confidence in Robins management or bull pen in extra innings.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 10:50 PM) ? He's a 1B/DH, what the hell else is he supposed to do? 1B still involves defense and that's not there.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 29, 2016 -> 10:45 PM) Matters how he finishe and what he could get in arbitration. If he can get 15 million or so, you look to trade him after this season. He's a typical KW guy. He can hit but the rest is s***.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 09:42 AM) Chris Sale is on it. Post of the week! I really needed a laugh.

Potential for another Sox player we will come to hate. You would think former players would pick up on this and say no thanks. BTW I really love the Fall League. The weather is nicer than Spring Training, few attend and it's fun to watch when the season is over. You can sit anywhere you want.

As a resounding gong these problems all stem from poor drafting and development along with no investment in managing.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 09:41 PM) Can anybody answer why Jacob Turner is on the roster? The last few years the Sox have been dumping deadwood and that's very good...unfortunately then they keep replacing those guys with more deadwood. Seriously to those that closely follow the minor league system...is it still that rancid after Hahn trying to rebuild it the last few years? The BEST they can do are stiffs like Turner, Perke etc. Mark and just think people want to blow it up despite the same people running the minors

The Sox usually show up to play better teams. It's the last place teams they struggle against.

If the pen didn't suck, it's probably not so much sell, sell, sell.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 18, 2016 -> 02:19 PM) Twins fired their GM Also looking outside the organization and not guaranteeing the interim GM the job. That's so not White Sox. Do you think KW is on their list? Probably not.

"He could probably do things with a higher profile,” He's got to get their first.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 05:00 PM) Anyone think Maddon is going to recreate the wheel here and use Chapman at random times throughout the game and not necessarily just to close. There's another manager that has a patent on that.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 12:22 PM) It doesn't really matter. A 20 something year old man shouldn't act like that. There is nothing management should need to do to keep someone from acting like this. It is on him and him alone. He can be mad about it but no one should ever act like this. Modern day athletes are like that now. They throw a lot of fits. Even moving a player off the plate was a strategic part of baseball. Now it's like "he's trying to hit me". I can't imagine in the 70's a player using a bat in retaliation. Professional sports with it's players and fans have gotten too emotionally out of hand. Celebration is out of hand Watching a guy celebrating a tackle after a 5 yard gain and 20pts down is hard to watch anymore.

QUOTE (ecupittfan @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 10:30 PM) Shuck hustles every play. I will give him that. I'm startin to like him more. BTW how cab our announcers call this game exciting. It was mental midget bailout III.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 10:06 PM) s*** I'd put in tomorrow's starter. Why give away a game? Best solution - fire the manager.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 09:23 PM) I mean, he really wasn't all that great when he was with Baltimore for a few years. I wonder how it just "clicked" for him when he got to Chicago. Pitching to 8 batters and a pitcher helps things. Most AL pitchers when the go to the NL have better stats. But the Sox organization thinks its a lateral move when they expect an NL guy to have those same numbers throwing in the AL.

The crosstown is annoying. It doesn't have the impact anymore. The thing I miss about Ozzie is his complaints about Wrigley. I'm not sure I want to watch because there is some envy what is going on at the North Side. Their front office seems like a 180 compared to the Sox. Some of the offers in their trades will probably never happen again. The Twins fired their GM and are looking to the Cubs organization for a replacement. Do you think they might consider KW?
