Love that Sanchez is hitting 2.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Aug 22, 2014 -> 01:19 PM) Sale Shields Quintana Noesi Danks Nice rotation, once Danks is gone Rodon comes In If Rodon, does well in September and spring training, you can bet that Rodon will definitely be in the rotation to start 2015.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Aug 22, 2014 -> 01:14 PM) Victor and big game James shields would do it for me I think Hahn adds a bat through trade. I'm all for James Shields.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 22, 2014 -> 01:12 PM) Good, trade for McCann or even Kemp. If the Yanks for Dodgers want to throw in 20-30 million it's a no brainer imo, there isn't any talent in the minors MLB ready in the OF or C, they are going to have to get creative. I would think it would be a lefty bat. So if Dodgers were the team, I hope its not Ethier. I really think Hahn makes a run at Jay Bruce this off season.

QUOTE (Timmy U @ Aug 22, 2014 -> 01:11 PM) I think this is 100% about making Anderson eligible for the Fall League. Do players have to play a certain amount of games with AA or AAA to be eligible for that team? If not, then I can see Lopez getting the spot for under AA.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 22, 2014 -> 01:01 PM) Birmingham Barons ‏@BhamBarons 22s ROSTER MOVE: 2013 1st rounder & Tuscaloosa native @TimAnderson7 has been promoted from @WSDashBaseball to Birmingham. Interesting. I like it. They feel comfortable with Anderson. They also feel comfortable with Rondon with the Dash.

I honestly can't wait for the game. I hope Sanchez starts.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 22, 2014 -> 12:51 PM) Also mentioned that they are expecting to bring in some salaries over the winter, thought it could be through a trade where they bring a contract "with some cash on it" or through free agency. I hope its through trade because free agency doesn't tickle my fancy at any position unless its Lester or Shields for the rotation or Miller/Gregorson for the pen. After listening to the interview, he was hesitant on the free agency front. I could definitely see Hahn adding salary through trade.

Barnum is 3-3 up over 250 now. Trey has 2 walks.

Colleen Kane ‏@ChiTribKane 28m As far as the PTBNL or cash for Gordon Beckham, Rick Hahn said there's a pool of potential players who will be evaluated.

Those people are just sad, I'm sorry, its embarrassing. I know every fan base has those fans but ugh.

Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 4m Micah Johnson, your big league future is coming very soon

I hope we get a player instead of cash lol

Montas is eligible for the rule 5 draft? I think Bassitt, Wilkins and Smith would get picked if not protected by the 40 man.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Aug 21, 2014 -> 11:09 AM) Good day with Guererro and Danish starting together. Zack Stewart is starting against Charlotte and he'll probably get shelled. And Martinez for Great Falls. I can't believe Stewart is still in baseball.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 21, 2014 -> 08:32 AM) To try and put out the fire before it starts, Flowers' current BABIP of .353 isn't entirely unreasonable - 72.8% of the balls he's putting in play right now are line drives or ground balls, which are your highest percentage of balls in play that will result in base hits. It may be a little high, but it's not outrageous. I also think there's probably some room for organic growth within his line - his power numbers are down this year and while some of that may be conscious effort, some of it could also improve as he continues to get more experience. He does have an fWAR of 1.2 this year (for what that's worth to people). Among catchers with 350 plate appearances, that number puts him right in line with offseason darlings Jason Castro (1.5 fWAR), Brian McCann (1.2), and Dioner Navarro (1.1), as well as Alex Avila (1.5). Frankly, I have no problem with what Tyler has done this year. There are better catchers, but I agree with Hahn that he could absolutely be the starting catcher on a winning team. (this also marks the 2nd straight season I was completely wrong about Flowers) I agree with everything you have said. Like I said yesterday, if Flowers can maintain a BA between 240-250 with 10+ HRs and 50+ RBIs out of the 9 hole with his familiarity with the pitching staff, I'll take it. With this, there is no point of wasting valuable assets to acquire a catcher that Flowers has had equally a decent year.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 20, 2014 -> 08:39 PM) https://twitter.com/SouthSideSox/status/502261944708259841 LOL I love Moises. I hope he sticks.

If Basto can just be an average fielder, he can be a legit prospect. He's only 20 in high A and has pretty good power and could hit for average.

Barnette got shelled in his 2nd appearance for Charlotte. 8 ER in 1.2IP

That was quick

Garrett Richards was just carted off in the Angels game. Was covering first and his left knee buckled I believe. It looked real bad, Angels are saying patella right now but nothing more. They could be looking for a starter now.

Peter 2-3 with 2 doubles. Average back up to 277

Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 11m Hahn on Flowers: "I would certainly say that he can be an everyday catcher on a winning team" Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 10m Hahn praised Flowers defense and handling of the pitching staff above all I agree with this. If he can manage to hit 240-250 with 10+ HRs with what Hahn said, I don't mind. This will let Hahn address the bullpen, another starter and a lefty bat instead of wasting assets on a catcher.
