The dreaded walk off walk.

Without knowing what might have been offered for Samardzija, I fail to see the point.

Matt Davidson 1-4 R HR 2RBI

Fulmer's final line: @MiLB-high 3 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 H, 3 K, 50 pitches/30 strikes

QUOTE (southside hitman @ Aug 4, 2015 -> 04:05 PM) Zach Thompson is now the starter for Kannapolis. Thanks for the heads up.

QUOTE (southside hitman @ Aug 4, 2015 -> 09:02 AM) Asheville's Yonathan Daza went 5-7 and raised his average .267 to .288 over the course of that GAME. LOL Lol, definitely not a good day for Kanny pitching. QUOTE (southside hitman @ Aug 4, 2015 -> 09:03 AM) Just wrote in Delmonico's capsule that he needs to start hitting home runs again if he wants to be considered an option. Boom. Well done Nick. You need to write more often!

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Aug 3, 2015 -> 09:45 PM) 23-3 now..... woah. Slaughter rule must have been 20.

Dirty power! Come on bullpen.

Kanny getting the s*** kicked out of them 19-3 in the 8th. Bad night, f*** it.

Delmonico 2BB

Anderson 1-1 Delmonico HR

It cost the A's a little salary for a player the A's will likely trade this winter for a nice young prospect. Can't blame em'.

A little blurb about Thompson's call up from SOX site. http://m.whitesox.mlb.com/news/article/140...trayce-thompson

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Aug 3, 2015 -> 01:37 PM) Even after his disaster last night, he is still 13th in the AL in fWAR. Yes, there is a limit to how much the Sox should offer him, but they aren't likely to get anybody better. The SOX need hitters more than they need Samardzija.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 3, 2015 -> 01:22 PM) One remarkable thing might be...he might have pitched so poorly overall this season that you could legitimately see his price dropping into the range where the White Sox could afford him. Why they'd want him after this season I have no clue. But since I think it's a terrible idea, I assume the White Sox will do it. You bring up a good point, and a rather disturbing one at that. I can only hope both sides decide it's best to part ways. It's just not a match, imo.

QUOTE (LDF @ Aug 3, 2015 -> 12:58 PM) with my opinion on whether i would want him back or whether he would be worth it, but in ref to the bold. it is at that juncture, the sox will be in the driver seat. a team friendly contract is and will be on the plate, that is the sox deem it worth it. And I would drive on bye. Want nothing to do with Samardzija after this season ends.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 3, 2015 -> 11:40 AM) He's been plucked more times than the rose of tralee, I'm told. Well tanks fer nuttin!

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Aug 3, 2015 -> 11:29 AM) Here is how it will go: 1. Sox give Shark the Qualifying Offer; 2. Shark rejects said Qualifying Offer in hopes of securing a long term contract; 3. Shark sits on the market and watches Price and Cueto set the price for the top of line SP; 4. Shark signs in January or February for something far less than Price and Cueto, and the team who acquires him, gives up their first round pick. Why it is not a win-win, is Shark would have a draft pick tied to him. It would improve his market if he didn't. But it today's game, pretty much all good FA will have a pick attached to him, so it is less of a big deal than it was before the new CBA. But it is still a 1st round pick, and most teams hate forfeiting picks. Well done. That's exactly what is going to happen. Would be surprised that when January comes around, Samardzija's agent will be calling the Sox trying to get a contract. I really hope the Sox part ways with Samardzija. The money on Samardzija can be better spent on a bat via trade or FA, most likely trade.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Aug 3, 2015 -> 10:43 AM) Doubt it, unless the Sox tank the next couple weeks. At this point, the Sox are unlikely to get something better than the comp pick anyway. It's definitely not something I'm relying on, just a possibility. The Yanks and Toronto both could use another starter. I think the comp pick is more likely and that's fine. I'm hoping the Sox and Samardzija part ways. Might sound crazy but I would rather have Danks for one more year than Samardzija for five more. Danks can hold a rotation spot in 2016 while Fulmer and Montas continue to develop and become more MLB ready.

Would like to see Montas and May in the AFL due to losing some playing time this year. Adam Engel as the below AA player. Anderson , Delmonico and Terance Marin too. That my six guesses.

Just in case anyone is curious about the AFL qualifications. Eligibility Rules The eligibility rules to play in the AFL are simple. The roster size is 30 players per team. Each Major League organization is required to provide six players subject to the following requirements: All Triple-A and Double-A players are eligible, provided the players are on at least a Double-A level roster no later than Aug. 1. One player below the Double-A level is allowed per Major League team. One foreign player is allowed, as long as the player does not reside in a country that participates in winter ball, as part of the Caribbean Confederation or the Australian winter league. No players with more than one year of credited Major League service as of August 31 are eligible, except a team may select one player picked in the most recently concluded Major League Rule 5 Draft. To be eligible, players on Minor League disabled lists must be activated at least 45 days before the conclusion of their respective seasons. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/events/winterleague...;id=player_elig

Morosi said Friday that he thought Samardzija could be moved by the waiver deadline. I would image a few ALE teams would be interested.
