pettie4sox Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Did anyone see Stoney and Hawk going out about a pitch that disagreed on going out of the park or being tough to hit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 5, 2013 -> 09:35 PM) The Sox have a lot of guys who are more valuable to them than as a trade chip. Most of their minor league OF's fit that description, Axelrod, most of the Sox bullpen (except maybe Reed by the end of the year), Viciedo, Gillaspie Viciedo is someone that POSSIBLY has more value on the market than what he actually provides. Everyone else, I totally agree with you about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 QUOTE (Jake @ May 5, 2013 -> 02:34 PM) The story on Santiago might change if he goes on a run of good starts. I could see him becoming highly sought after very quickly. That said, I would be asking for a lot. Why would we be trading Santiago? That makes about zero sense with Danks' comeback far from certain. We all knew Clayton Richard has hit limitations, but it's going to be a huge disappointment unless they get a surefire offensive threat along the lines of 2012 Josh Reddick back.

fathom Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 QUOTE (iamshack @ May 5, 2013 -> 09:35 PM) Why would you not trade Sale? Cause if you rebuild and aim for 3-4 years from now of competing again, he's still signed at an affordable contract. When you see a team like the Cubs sign Edwin Jackson for as much as they did in hopes of having him on a competing pitching staff down the road, it makes you value someone like Sale more.

caulfield12 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2013 -> 02:36 PM) Viciedo is someone that POSSIBLY has more value on the market than what he actually provides. Everyone else, I totally agree with you about. That organization has to see him as an everyday player (RF/LF/1B/DH) and also have patience with him. And be seriously lacking in power. Which is the exact definition of the White Sox with Konerko leaving, AJ gone, Dunn and Rios soon after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Lefties just 3/21 against Thornton this year. Will give him some credit for that. C'mon Ventura, your move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather use the pieces I might get for him to try and actually rebuild than hope the timing of it just happens to coincide with his current contract structure...

caulfield12 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) Would have picked Crain over Lindstrom. This is not the time to be waiting for what might happen the next inning. Need to get out of this inning with the lead. It worked. But that ball was scalded. At least Keppinger made a big play.

Marty34 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 QUOTE (Jake @ May 5, 2013 -> 03:13 PM) LOL This is the perfect example of why Soxtalk would never have the stomach for a rebuild. Viciedo plays one major league season, hits 25 bombs and 75 RBI, and he is trash. You guys would never have been able to handle the development of the guys you love on KC, many of whom are still not producing You don't develop LF'ers. That would be a bad rebuild and one I would not be able to stomach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
