caulfield12 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 3, 2013 -> 09:19 PM) In an article on chicagosports.com, Santiago said he game planned to throw change-ups to Reddick in that AB that led to the bases loaded walkoff walk, but he ended up throwing outside fastballs. Seems like he was throwing Gimenez under the bus. Reddick said he was sitting on the fastballs, was 100% comfortable in that at-bat...and felt in command.

Chicago White Sox Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 3, 2013 -> 10:16 PM) I'm pretty sure Danks never had that good of numbers to deserve that much money Look at what Edwin Jackson just got. Even average starters gets paid a lot of money these days. If you projected even some minor improvement from Danks at the time of the signing then I think the deal made sense. I definitely don't think it was a slam dunk, but I thought it was important to have at least one arm in your rotation locked up long-term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Reddick said that when the count went to 2-1, he knew he was taking against Hector Santiago. He felt as if he'd been seeing the ball well all day and would be comfortable hitting with two strikes, if it came to that, especially knowing Santiago was throwing a lot of fastballs. "I was sitting on something over the plate, and he tried to nibble," Reddick said of the next two pitches.

Chicago White Sox Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 QUOTE (chisoxt @ Jun 3, 2013 -> 10:17 PM) Great back to back contributions by the Danks brothers. Lets all be glad that Tyler flowers is an only child. This post just made me laugh out loud. I'm sure I'm late to the party, but I think the Sox have finally become laughably bad for me.

pettie4sox Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Casper Wells should be getting some DH time. Robin has done his due diligence with Done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Chavez >> DeAza Defensively by far, and offensively this season. More Danks issues. That Bay ball in USCF in June/July/August is way out.... You can't be a fly ball pitcher like Danks and survive with that kind of stuff.

Looking at the Mariners is a lot like looking at the Sox. Aces in Sale/King Felix. White Sox have the advantage in overall pitching depth, and bullpen, but fairly similar teams. They're (White Sox) going to have to add random veterans like Morse, Bay, Ibanez and Morales to have a respectable offense next year. None of their young players are ready, with the POSSIBLE exception of Phegley (and that's probably a 25% chance of working out). The difference is the home stadiums. You can't have an abysmal offense and win at USCF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying you could see a scenario like that happening...one of the central tenets of the KW philosophy was give the home fans offensive excitement. This is the diametrically opposed opposite. It's like like 80's White Sox baseball in Old Comiskey. Otherwise, they're going to have to trade the likes of Erik Johnson or Santiago to get what they want...especially at the catching position.

As Hahn said on the radio, the players have to give you a reason to want to go ahead and add to the roster. He was clearly pissed about the play of the team last week.

flavum Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 It would be nice if Danks can go six. They need to keep Crain and Thornton fresh the next month, if you catch my drift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
