QUOTE (Footlongcomiskeydog @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 09:59 PM) Navarro should't even be on the roster. I hope he is released once Avila is back from the dl. And have a guy that cant stay healthy being your main catcher. Thats smart

Worse part is if they dont score or win tonight then can kiss this series totally good bye with weaver pitching tomorrow

Morneau cant buy a hit

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 09:43 PM) Any idea where he ranked the previous two years Not sure. Stone rattled that stat off when he was batting. Have noticed hes horrible with swinging at strikes down and away

Abreu has chased 306 pitches out of the strike zone and leads the majors in that category. He needs to adjust that or hes going to get worse

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 09:30 PM) The farm system is bottom ten for sure Their top draft picks under hahn from 2013-2015 are in the majors right now for the team.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 09:25 PM) And they keep having to trade for guys because they miss on nearly all of their free agent signees. Because the sox have a owner whos making money anf limits how much a payroll they have

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 09:23 PM) Hahn needs to get fired after this year. Just can't build a winning team or build up the farm system. Hahn was given a crap of a team and minors to deal with and still has to go through the former gm of the team and a aging owner who probably cant live to see a rebuild. Hahn is stuck in a rock and hard place

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 09:14 PM) They will lose if they sell. For maybe a long time. Trading Sale doesnt = winning baseball. Really trading anyone on the roster doesnt equate to more wins. Not in the near future and potentially long term future. Sox havent been winning much with sale on the team. Its not sales fault its not putting a good product around him. The question is when you get to a point if you aren't going to win with sale do you let him walk and get nothing back or better off trading him to get sime that may help.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Jul 15, 2016 -> 08:37 PM) I'm not convinced Fulmer will be any better than Gonzalez next year. That doesn't help us improve the team with what little chance this team has to actually make the playoffs in the next few years. The only way the Sox will need Fulmer is if Shields opts out. I think he will be good. You may not be convinced but i am and believe he can be good. Hopefully he proves you wrong over the rest of the season

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Jul 15, 2016 -> 08:28 PM) This is going to kill whatever trade value he has right now. Way too premature to call him up now. If they really see him as a reliever why not give him a few weeks in the AAA pen to make sure he can handle the jump? I was much more confident about Anderson (but slightly concerned about the walk rate going forward) but I don't see this going well for Fulmer his first time around. I guess we are not trading for any impact bats if this means Fulmer is going to stay with the team. Dont think sox would be trading fulmer unless its a true bat thats under control. I've read fulmer is definitely bullpen ready now. Let him get his taste now then getting going into rotation next year.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 15, 2016 -> 07:54 PM) It isn't. Carroll's DFA opened up the spot for Turner to come in. False 40 man roster is full. Carroll's spot was taken by fulmer

3-4 now. 2 singles and homer

Ventura said Morneau would face primarily right-handers at the outset, but that of course can change https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/754106412439965696

Collins 2-3 in winston salem with a single and 3 run homer

Rick Hahn said #WhiteSox continue to look for pieces. Knew it would be a difficult market. "It's a strong seller's market." https://twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/754080280076398592

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jul 15, 2016 -> 04:59 PM) Burns was just designated by Oakland today. He's still fairly young, has elite speed, and is a solid defender. What do you guys think? Should the Sox try and make a move for him? I think he'd be better than Shuck in CF. He was optioned not dfa

As for possible additions from outside org, Hahn said 'we are having conversations daily looking to improve in 2016 and beyond'' https://twitter.com/CST_soxvan/status/754078023310151680

Morneau not in Birminghams lineup tonight

RHP Scott Carroll has been outrighted to Charlotte. 40-man roster goes to 39. https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/753677355260846080

Sox should have update on Austin Jackson shortly after the break. https://t.co/D53KTdyldH https://twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/753637540947648512

Sources: #WhiteSox, unsure of Austin Jackson’s prognosis, are checking into possible trades for CFer. Jackson had knee surgery on June 10. https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/753631619202838528

Morneau 1-3 with 2 walks sofar tonight

QUOTE (MDWhiteSoxFan @ Jul 13, 2016 -> 03:04 PM) DHing him could mean they use a rotating DH giving players days off from the field. Sox could be honestly using a rotating dh now with him and arent. Problem is they dont have a good bat to be backing up like a zobrist. But you look at having a true dh like ortiz thats a huge bat. Problem sox are in the middle of not having a big bat at dh or having a good bat thats on the bench.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Jul 12, 2016 -> 08:49 PM) Burdi is far from being ready. He looks like he needs at least 1 year in the minors so not before middle of next season. And with how much Fulmer has struggled in AA he needs at least another year in the minors if he's going to be a starter. If he finishes strong in AA then he can start next year at AAA and be an early call up if he has success. Look at a guy like Mengden in Oakland who basically dominated AA and AAA this year and he has only been mediocre at the major league level. It's a big step to make. Its looking like fulmer and burdi will be up this year unless they totally bomb.
