I just did this trade: I get: Yu Darvish Hunter Pence Avisail Garcia He Got: Prince Fielder Bronso Arroyo Jordan Lyles Miguel Gonzalez Good trade or bad?

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 1, 2013 -> 06:57 PM) Garcia is in. Semien, Garcia, and Morel due up next inning. Why did he not start?

Semien starting. No Garcia though

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 1, 2013 -> 04:16 PM) And Marcus Semien Knights line up is actually going to be interesting to watch now!!

Good to see him being brought up. Hopefully he can keep playing at a high level. Did someone get released or sent to AA? Edit: Nevermind, Danks was brought up yesterday

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 1, 2013 -> 12:37 AM) I liked his presence on the mound. His curve reminded me of Jenks and Verlander. Handled a rough inning very well. I'm hoping we have something good . Very surprised with his curve. I thought everyone was talking about his cutter and I didn't really see that. Had some good location on his fastball a few times that I saw (didn't get to see his whole start).

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 1, 2013 -> 01:25 AM) Big Hurt, Axelrod better not be here. He really is not a big-league talent. Back to Indy League. He was a success story for a bit but my gosh, he can't cut it. His stuff is just no good IMO. Well he will be around somewhere if we REALLY need someone to pitch lol

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 10:15 PM) The White SOx havne't had this good of a position prospect in years (at least not when it comes to the "hit" tool and I for one am really excited to see Garcia with the Sox and for the first time in a long time, I expect this guy to make an all star game or two with the White Sox. Yes, I've dranken the Garcia cool aid. Of course, I'll temper that by saying the only other guy in the past 5-7 years with this type of hit tool in our organization was Beckham and well he's had his issues after that rookie year. He was such a good pure hitter that first year with us and I look at Garcia in a similar fashion. He can hit the ball to all fields and the power will come. He does have some areas to improve related to his overall patience and approach but I think that will improve with time. This is a really talented kid and in my opinion I'd take him over pretty much any of the other top prospect names we heard the past couple days (I say pretty much...not necessarily all). Kool-aid

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 10:22 PM) If you expect to win with three rookies in the top 6 starters, it won't happen. If you are throwing away next year, let 'er rip. Do you think we can win next year?? lol Hitting is what needs to change big time. Pitching is alright but I would give up Danks contract in order to get better hitters

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 10:06 PM) Even if all of those work out you still need 6-7 starters for a good season. Without Danks the Sox do not have that depth next year or probably the year after. Im sure Axelrod will still be here and what about Snodgress? Or we can just sign a long reliever that can fill in

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 09:53 PM) Prospect fever . You're lucky if one becomes good in his rookie year next year. Actually thinking they both becone quality starters is a dubious prospositon. I think at least one of them will be good and the other will be good enough for the 5th spot in a rotation. Hell Dylan Axelrod was our 5th starter for a long time this year.

Wise and Tekkote just need to leave. Get Garcia and Jacobs up there and hit. or Thompson.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 09:40 PM) Not a chance in the world that the Sox would sign Cano. I know this, was just responding to his proposed line-up. When was the last time the White Sox signed to the top free agent?

One of Rienzo or Johnson will get the chance with Peavy gone. But I would like the other to get a shot too. Think they could be better then Danks but if they don't get that chance we will never know. Sale Quintana Santiago Rienzo Johnson Could be a really young good starting staff for years

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 09:36 PM) BECKHAM IS NOT A REGULAR ML SS. And no that is horrible, all or nothing hitters that have doomed us all along How can anybody be so sure about that when he hasn't even gotten the chance to be??

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 09:32 PM) Its too bad Tank didn't turn into that 30 HR guy Harold Reynolds and some here thought he's be. How sexy would a De Aza CF- L Beckham SS- R Cano 2B-L Rios RF-R Dunn DH-L Tank 1B-R Gilaspie 3B-L Garcia LF- R Phegley C- R That's a hella balanced lineup, and if Tank gets his power stroke back you can switch him and Rios. Just because we get Cano doesn't mean everyone else is going to magically start hitting. Cano is the only sure thing in that line-up and everyone else is a big huge if.

QUOTE (sammy esposito @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 08:20 PM) Waivers, that's how we obtained him initially. Yes, I know how that works. I was wondering if there were any rumors about him being moved after today

So is that it? Any rumors about moving Rios post deadline?

Man, trade winds is boring now

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:49 PM) Between Sanchez, Simien, Johnson, Rondon, Beckham and Anderson we should be good in the middle IF and UT in a few years. Between Garcia, Thompson, Viciedo, Hawkins and Walker, we should have a decent OF and 4th OF. We have pitching. Now fill the holes with all the money we have. At least it's a plan. Don't forget about Brandon Jacobs

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:12 PM) "Lesser" prospects scares me. Hope they both will be in the top 10 in our system. Better then Brandon Jacobs

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:07 PM) Bernie Pleskoff ‏@BerniePleskoff 52s It appears that's the entire deal: Peavy to #RedSox, Garcia to #WhiteSox and #Iglesias to #Tigers. Imagine Peavy in #RedSox rotation. Solid. That would be BS!! Red Sox got Peavy for freaking Iglesias basically???

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 09:51 PM) Blah. I really dislike Garcia. Why

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 09:49 PM) Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 13s Exec’s speculation: Peavy to BOS, Iglesias to DET (to cover for Peralta suspension) and A. Garcia to CWS. Just speculation at this time. Expand We would have to be getting something else from Boston too right?? Seems like Boston is giving up notthing for Peavy

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 09:39 PM) Hopefully the Angels just set the market for that deal. How bout Pittsburgh?
