witesoxfan Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jul 17, 2013 -> 07:14 AM) If the Sox got Owings, he'd probably be the best hitter on the team. Micah is 30 years old playing minor league ball for the Nationals. The Sox are interested in Chris Owings, 21 year old SS who's hitting .353 at AAA.

Jake Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 The thing to look at with Holmberg is that over 200 innings into AA, he has seen his K/9 rates drop precipitously from at or above 9 at most levels to 6.3 or so in AA. 6.3 K/9 isn't horrible in MLB, but it certainly puts a ceiling on him and if he loses even more strikeouts on his way to the show, he'll have a hard time succeeding. I'm not sure how great of a get he is, especially when we already have lefties with high 80s-low 90s fastballs and modest K rates in our rotation.

That's why I would still go after their position players in their system like Davidson, Eaton, Owings, Lamb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulstar Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 16, 2013 -> 11:12 PM) Eaton, Holmberg, and Owings for Peavy? Done. Want some De Aza too? Fine, take him. Agreed. Imagine if Hahn pulled off that trade and was able to put together a package that got Polanco in return from Pittsburgh. Eaton and Polanco would be two big time pieces to build that OF around. Probably would keep Eaton in CF in the scenario and groom Polanco for LF since I think Polanco has the weaker arm but more power potential to translate to LF. Either way, it would be nice to get a couple of young, speedy lefties who have shown really good feels for hitting on this team. Depending on who the RF is in this hypothetical scenario, it could become one of the best defensive outfields the White Sox have ever had.

GGajewski18 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Rosenthal tweeted moments ago that he has one source that Garza to the Rangers is pretty close. What does this mean for Peavy, as when healthy is the next most valuable pitcher on the market. Teams get desperate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosenthal says a deal is very close, while Heyman & others are saying that the Rangers are ready to walk away and turn their attention to Bud Norris, so who knows. The timing is right for Peavy to pitch a gem on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Sox could set up a 900 number and when you call it, you get a tidbit of inside information from Rich Hahn. New revenue! Again, thanks Bucket.

Eminor3rd Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/white-sox/...o-be-jake-peavy BA' expected to be Jake Peavy July, 17, 2013 JUL 17 2:34 PM CT By Doug Padilla | ESPNChicago.com RECOMMEND2TWEET4COMMENTS0EMAILPRINT CHICAGO -- The Chicago White Sox set their probable pitchers for the first series of the second half, with one glaring omission. John Danks will pitch in Friday’s series opener against the Atlanta Braves at U.S. Cellular Field, while Jose Quintana will pitch in Sunday’s series finale. On Saturday, the White Sox have listed "TBA" opposite the Braves’ Paul Maholm (9-8, 3.98 ERA). That Saturday slot is expected to go to right-hander Jake Peavy, who has been on the disabled list with a non-displaced rib fracture. Peavy had one rehab start at Double-A Birmingham, giving up one run on five hits over five innings. The right-hander would be in line to make three starts before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline. If he shows he is healthy, he could end up being the White Sox’s best trade bargaining chip as they remain focused on strengthening the farm system following a disappointing first half. In Friday's game, Danks (2-6, 4.31) will be opposed by the Braves' Tim Hudson (6-7, 4.02). On Sunday, Quintana (4-2, 3.71) will pitch opposite Mike Minor (9-4, 3.02).
