QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 02:40 PM) Have we heard the Sox mentioned even once yet today? I don't think we have. It's been WAAAAAAAy quiet from the Sox front office so far...... It's ridiculously quite. I at least expected an upgrade for the bench. Does this team really stick with Ray Olmedo as the backup infielder?

With Soto traded to Texas, I wonder if KW has been looking at Yorvit Torrealba as a slight upgrade to Flowers. I don't know the reasons behind why Texas decided to get rid of him, but he's at least hitting over the Mendoza line.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 07:07 PM) Justin Greene was placed on the inactive list. Last time that happened it was Pedro Hernandez and was the pre-cursor to the Liriano deal. Interesting. Looks like KW is following the theme this year and trading no one of value to make the team better.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 26, 2012 -> 01:12 PM) Sounds to me like Viciedo and Reed are gone. I would HATE to lose both of those. And if the Sox had to give one of those guys up, I don't know how one could argue keeping Reed over Viciedo. Between the two, Viciedo has a greater impact on the future than Reed does.

Wow, fire sale indeed. I wonder who else goes.

Hope for Q 2.0? It's amazing how many rookies this team is calling up compared to last year.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jul 14, 2012 -> 01:14 AM) Simon Castro will be activated from the DL and start on the 15th for Charlotte. Did they ever say what was wrong with him in the first place?

Deunte Heath is getting called up according to twitter with Crain going on the D.L. Edit: It was the @SouthSideSox twitter feed.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 02:37 PM) White Soxman Breaking News: Former #WhiteSox 1B\OF Carlos Lee has been traded to the #Dodgers. Lee has veto rights so we will see if he accepts. #Astros He's staying an Astro. Used his veto powers.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 29, 2012 -> 08:41 PM) Simon Castro pitched his way onto the DL. Oh great, any word on what's wrong?

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 29, 2012 -> 04:02 PM) FWIW, Crain is now unavailable until at least Sunday, he hopes to avoid DL. per the beat guys. Looks like Heath could see some MLB action soon.

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 06:28 PM) Except Danks hasn't really been good for a long time. And by "good", I mean better than a fourth starter. Danks has been hurting all season and it's pretty clear that's why he's been so bad.

If Robin got creative when he called him out of the pen, he could do a thumbs up/thumbs down motion like the emperor did in Gladiator. Similar to what Guillen did for Jenks way back when.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 27, 2012 -> 11:42 PM) Any chance SOX are in the process of trading for someone? I thought that too, anything is possible with KW.

I feel like they are going to call up Septimo, but those BB/9 numbers are downright scary at 4.7...

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 07:54 PM) Cross out Dunn. He might go to the Derby, but not as an all-star. I thought HR Derby participants need to be All-Stars.

Stewart for Youkilis? That is a great move if you ask me. Stewart has proven he can't pitch at the MLB level.

Interesting... I think we'd all be very happy to include him in any trade.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:08 PM) Didn't Bruney have a good month a few years ago with us? I seem to remember him sporting an era of about 2 for quite a few weeks. He did, but that was deceptive. He was extremely lucky. He was walking batters at a ridiculous rate.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 03:48 PM) Oh and Simon Castro was promoted to AAA. I think its only a matter of time before he is here. I'm really looking forward to him. He's having a pretty decent year.

My top 5: 1.Frank Thomas 2.Paul Konerko 3.Mark Buehrle 4.Luke Appling 5.Ted Lyons Buehrle's ranked so high only because I grew up with him in a Sox uniform and he's my favorite pitcher. I guess "my generation's" Billy Pierce.

QUOTE (GO CHI SOX! @ Jun 15, 2012 -> 04:41 PM) https://twitter.com/#!/pgammo Nice to know we at least made a run for him.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 14, 2012 -> 03:16 PM) Banged up Carlos Quentin didn't have much value at the time everybody, get over it. Simon Castro is quickly becoming one of our top prospects again (something he also was as a Padre) and Hernandez was pitching unbelievably until he got hurt I wouldn't say Hernandez was pitching unbelievable. That K rate is not something to be desired.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 14, 2012 -> 03:46 PM) Wait... are they really converting Brandon Kloess into a starter? Since that one game they pitched Kloess-Rem-Kussmaul-Bellamy, I just figured it was a bullpen day. Are we saying that Kloess is actually a starter now? I doubt it. Likely because Hernandez was on the D.L. But maybe someone else knows more.

QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Jun 11, 2012 -> 10:25 PM) Can Johnson play third? He's played 3B at Charlotte this year. No clue if he's any good though.
