sin city sox fan Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 11, 2013 -> 05:55 PM) Until you look at their Bataan Death March schedule the next 30-45 games. The only team we will be favored to beat might be the Minnesota Twins (at home). If we add 4 or 5 more quality bats to our lineup, we can be favored in many of these games. This week's series shows we already have Detroit's number and that's the most important challenge to conquer. There's no reason we can't win this division if Hahn goes out and picks up 4 or 5 guys who can hit .300 and drive in 50+ runs after the break.

Either way, it's really hard to get 4 or 5 hitters in an off season alone. With our farm system, won't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwritecode Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 1, 2013 -> 09:58 PM) Maybe its the 117 degree heat in Las Vegas making me crazy, but what if we decided to be buyers instead of sellers? We are only 10.5 games out of first place and no one seems prepared to run away with this division. Lets go out and trade for a 1B, 3B, C, OF, DH, and a couple of pitchers. If we have the opportunity, lets upgrade at other positions as well. We can turn this thing around with the pickup of 8 or 10 new players who contribute strongly. Wouldn't it be a hoot if we won the division after this start?? QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 11, 2013 -> 06:52 PM) We are only 13 games behind Detroit and have won 67% of our games against them with the current roster. Get aggressive, add 4 or 5 new bats to the lineup, and 14 out of the next 16 is possbile. That would leave us only 1 game to make up elsewhere and there's plenty of time to do it. Buy! Buy! Buy! No white flag trades in 2013!!! QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 11, 2013 -> 07:09 PM) If we add 4 or 5 more quality bats to our lineup, we can be favored in many of these games.

Better yet, get one of Reinsdorf! Sure. One can be had for the right price. Problem is, this is the White Sox. With that being said, the White Sox would track down the Rachel Phelps of RIGHT NOW, which is a late-50s aging, gross, gray haired, wrinkled saggy old woman whose days as a Hollywood sex symbol are LONG past. Cardboard cutout this..... But this fits right in with the last few years of White Sox acquisitions. *shrug* Manny, Griffey, Alomar, Alomar Jr, etc. Edited July 12, 2013 by Jillian Michaels' Abs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No white flag trades in 2013!!! Well, in theory we could have already picked up Francouer, who got released and Manny. Those would be 2 new guys for the second half run. We could have traded Viciedo for our first batch of prospects, Francouer taking over in left. We could sign Manny and have him DH and trade Dunn for our second batch of prospects. Of course Francouer would hit .200 and Manny worse than that. I can see how this "rebuilding" stuff works though. There's always somebody out there who can be acquired.
