What an uneventful last 12 hours. Pathetic
-
Disappointed with the return. Wish White Sox would of thrown in some money for better prospects. Not the biggest Garcia fan.

Red Sox report Wendelken, Montas, Rondon to CWS
-
other 2 prospects are pitchers

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 08:14 AM)Okay, now you're just making things up. 1st - Sale has not been on the DL this year. 2nd - Sale has never thrown 126 pitches in a game in his career. Sale is still only in his 2nd year starting in the big leagues. He will never build up the arm strength to go 200+ innings per year if you coddle him. It's become pretty evident that the White Sox are trying to extend their pitchers out a little more this year. I'm sure this is in the hopes that next year or whenever we contend again that they will have built up the durability to be able to go the distance when we need them. I've got a good feeling that Don Cooper and the White Sox training staff know a hell of a lot more than some random guys on a message board and are doing whatever they think is best to maximize their value out of Chris Sale.
Sorry typing on my phone and didnt have exact number but he threw 124 pitches. Also didnt pitch from May 18th to June 2nd. I think that's around 15 days. also has had 3 other appearances this year where they gave Sale 1 to 3 extra days to rest. Sporry i was off 2 pitches. Still not smart on a wasted year to abuse Sale like that.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 06:49 AM)Peavy had a rib injury, not an arm injury. I don't feel like 118 pitches was too many. Are you trying to say that Sale has the 2nd most number of games with over 120 pitches and Hector has the 4th most? If so, Sale has only reached the 120 pitch mark twice and Santiago once so if you are taking those rankings as meaning anything, that is pretty ridiculous. Sale's average pitch count per start is 109 and Santiago's is 103. If you can't handle those pitch counts you have no business starting.
Name another elite pitcher in the majors that get shuts down for a week or two and has skipped starts throughout the season due weakness in his arm particularly his shoulder. Sale comes off the DL this year and his third start back he throws 126 pitches. Doesn't make sense. The only negative thing about Sale is whether he will stay healthy. Our organization has shown they have concerns with Sale the past 2 years.

We need to trade Peavy ASAP. Worried our coaching staff can have another Cain on their hands. Coming off an injury and they let him pitch 118 throws on his second start. Anyone else think Robin Ventura makes some questionable calls on handling Sale, Peavy, Santiago, and Crain this year. Sale is second in the league with throwing over 120 pitches in a game. Santiago is 4th in the league/and he's been going back and forth between starting/bullpen, and the abuse they did in the month of June with Crain knowing he was going to get traded. Come on Robin wake up here.

No way can he play shortstop. Too big for the position and doesn't have the range. His power will develope 20-25 homer power. Love his potential and his on base rate. We don't have anyone in our lineup with that potential. Huge fan of Cecchini and love his potential at 3b

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 04:46 PM)I've always thought packaging Peavy and Crain would maximize a return, but Crain needs to return and pitch a couple times. It would be nice to see a bidding war from a few teams.
Hopefully Crain can come back and pitch a game or two. Crain is a free agent and not going to risk it and lose out on last big contract.
-
My gut tells me the Red Sox are going to make the major move to get Peavy and Crain. They are loaded with Solid prospects in the infield and starting pitching.

QUOTE (beck72 @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 04:26 PM)Cubs have Javier Baez at AA, #2 ranked SS in the minors.
He won't be a SS when it's time to be called up. They'll move him to 3B. Last time I checked he had 31 errors at the All star break. Bryant, Olt, Baez, Alcantara, Calameria, and possibly Sadinas that's a nice collection of INF prospects.
-
The Cubs are absolutely loaded with infield prospects.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 21, 2013 -> 10:06 AM)I'm more sold on Davidson, but I wouldn't turn my nose up at Owings.
Agree Davidson approach to hitting is more advanced to Owings. He's able to work a count and get on base at a higher clip.Owing is still a solid piece to a trade
-
Supposedly the deal for Garza with Texas was Olt, Ramirez, Sardinas, and Edwards. That is a ton for a 2 month rental. I would make that deal for Peavy. Of course the medical records need to be clean on those players.
-
If Phillies are the team. Biddle better be part of the package.
-
Hanson for the pirates pulled from the game according to Ben Badler. I like what I'm hearing
-
I believe Sox might get 1 top prospect between Polanco or Hanson plus a C prospect if they want both Rios/Ramirez. This will all depend on how much money will go back to Pittsburgh. If Hahn/Reinsdorf are willing to throw more money back to them might be able to get another really good prospect such as a Glasnow which I would be extremely happy about.

QUOTE (Paulstar @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 12:14 AM)Looking at some of the names in the Pirates system, RHRP Victor Black seems like someone who might be a guy the Sox look at as part of a package. Had some arm problems as a starter but has remained healthy since being moved to the bullpen, and also struggles with control at times, but has a power arm and is close to MLB ready. Since a lot of the guys in this bullpen seem to be on their way out, it might not be a bad idea to bring in some young, cost controlled replacements.
Andrew Oliver also seems like someone the Sox could possibly want as a throw in. He seems like a classic Coop project who has good stuff but struggles with control.
Not a fan of Victor Black at all. Mechanics and delivery are really poor. Mechanics have caused a lot of his arm problems in the past. I do agree this seems like a player the Sox could be interested in because he's in Triple A.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 18, 2013 -> 06:34 PM)You're right. Konerko. Are both Mitchell and Walker both duds prospects now? I know Mitchell is or is there still hope for Walker
Walker had major shoulder surgery and knee surgery last off season. The organization should of given him more time to fully heal. Both the Sox and Walker shouldn't of rushed back. This season needs to be thrown out. Now if he does this again next year than the bust label might come oout.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 14, 2013 -> 01:53 PM)I thought that 87-88mph slider/cutter looked great
Totally agree. Cutter looked nasty
-
OK trade. Getting a high ceiling type of offensive player. Still only 22 years old and has a ton of potential. White Sox sure like OF's that strike out a lot. That's only thing that doesn't make me love the trade is the high strikeouts and not seeing a huge improvement increasing his walks since being drafted.
-
Hopefully everybody had their top scouts watching Rios and Dunn swing the bat. Hahn needs to bring his A game these next 3 weeks to prove what type a GM he is.
-
QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 9, 2013 -> 06:21 PM)I'd love Glasnow.
Glasnow might make the biggest jump of all starting pitchers in the minors. Would love to get him in a deal. Has a chance become a #1 or #2 starter. Would love the Sox to target a player like that.

Thank you. I was just about to say the same thing. 5 pages on Adam Dunn. Enough
Sox Sign Jose Abreu - 6/$68 million

Their will be a big bidding war on Abreu. Going have to throw $50+ million to be in this game. I don't see the Sox organization playing ball when it comes to that kind of money with the unknown.
