QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 08:31 PM) For AA, correct? Yes

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 08:31 PM) Orioles acquired OF Alejandro De Aza from the White Sox for RHPs Miguel Chalas and Mark Blackmar. De Aza has good speed and can play all three outfield positions, making him a nice addition to the Baltimore bench for the stretch run. The 30-year-old was batting .243/.309/.354 with 15 stolen bases in 122 games this season for the White Sox. He'll be arbitration-eligible for the third and final time this winter. Chalas and Blackmar are non-prospects. Source: Eduardo A. Encina on Twitter Guess he doesn't watch baseball

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 08:29 PM) Is sierra even back yet? Rehab assignment in AAA.

QUOTE (BaconOnAStick @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 08:26 PM) Blackmar is a fastball/changeup guy who tops out at around 94, has a two seaver in the high 80's with life. Phil Blackmar, PGA golfer, is his dad. That's pretty interesting. Thanks for that.

Oh wow. Montas is starting tonight instead of tomorrow. 2IP 1 unearned with 1 K. Defense has 2 errors so far.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 08:20 PM) Blackmar has had a pretty decent season in A+. http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/p...id=blackm002mar Chalas..... shares a birthday with my dad. http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/p...id=chalas001mig Yeah I can see Blackmar (22) in AA next season with those numbers. And Chalas (22) is a reliever in AAA. Walks batters but only has given up 1 hit in 7 innings in AAA.

Great play by Sanchez

Rodon gives up 2 hits in the first but strikes out 2 and doesn't give up any.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 03:10 PM) Illini bball has a committ They didn't get a commit from Brunson yet?

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 02:15 PM) If Sale starts 32 games next year, he's winning a Cy. Period. Completely agree. I really feel like he was toying with the Tigers today. He was usually 89-91 in an at bat then with 2 strikes lets break out the nasty slider or go hard at 95-96 lol.

Montas activated and promoted to AA. Starts tomorrow.

Anderson and Ravelo both 1-1

Tanner Banks making his debut with Kanny. Lefty starter that was drafted this year.

If anyone noticed, it looks like RHP Storm Throne has been released. He is not on any White Sox minor league roster.

Mitchell staying hot too. 1-1 2B, BB

Same to think about within the first 5 rounds next year. Kevin Duchene LHP from Illinois. Real good pitcher and did very well in the cape cod league this past summer.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Aug 29, 2014 -> 08:30 AM) Dee needs to become an assistant coach as soon as he hangs em up. I completely agree. QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 29, 2014 -> 08:47 AM) Is he still trying to make it overseas? Yes. Also, Rick Brunson (Jalen's dad) said if Jalen feels comfortable with the school, he'll pull the trigger and commit. That came out 2 days ago. I like what I'm hearing right before the official. Illinois is in this thing.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 29, 2014 -> 09:40 AM) The MLB and MLBPA will rarely allow any sort of conditions of contracts or agreements to be based on performance other than award based (SS, GG, ASG, MVP, yada yada). It's basically "if the guy suits up and plays a lot for us, we will reward you better." Well he has been playing a bit lately so....

QUOTE (hi8is @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 10:00 PM) Well well well - 2 for 4 last night with 2 RBI and a homer. Good. Bring us a good player Gordon.

I wonder where Andre Wheeler starts next year. Would love to see him in AA

Watching Latos pitch against the Cubs last night had me a bit worried. He was mainly between 88-92 with a pretty over the top curveball. It's just if I want someone throwing 88-92 like Shields, I would take him because of his track record and less of an injury concern with a great change up. So hopefully Hahn sees that he can acquire a good #2 in the free agency like Shields and address the bullpen and uses trades to acquire more offense.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 12:07 PM) I think you just gave a great reason why he SHOULD be traded: his value is super high. He will be 33 come the start of the 2015 season and has a great contract with an option for $10 million each year over the next two seasons. Right now he is the 3rd most valuable SS in the league. The main question is do the Sox think they can compete in 2015 and 2016, thus making more sense to keep your star SS. But that may not be the best move for the future, partially because I don't think the Sox will be a playoff-caliber team next year. It's a tough situation. I do know if Alexei was on the Cubs, he would be traded. We'll see if Rick dangles him this offseason. Oh I completely agree on why he should be traded, but I get the feeling that Hahn thinks this team can compete next year with the right pieces acquired in the off season. If that doesn't happen in the winter, then I could see around spring training that they could pull a trigger on a trade for Alexei if he were to be dealt.
