2nd_city_saint787 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Not that anyone cares, I'm facing my brother in my money leagues semifinals...He's got Sanchez, Martinez, Fielder, and Infante, so I need a shocker today from our White Sox....A shut out with the Sox lighting up Sanchez would be soooo nice.

elrockinMT Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I think Avisail Garcia really likes playing against his old team. I have high hopes for this kid. I also like what I am seeing from Johnson after he got roughed up in his debut. Interesting off season and spring training to come I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Semien is the real deal. This guy has to be batting 1 or 2 next year, playing in the middle infield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Phegley's swing isn't going to work in the majors. Far too many weak pop ups on the infield, as he seems to be using a wiffle ball bat up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILMOU Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 22, 2013 -> 12:52 PM) Semien is the real deal. This guy has to be batting 1 or 2 next year, playing in the middle infield. Totally. Would like to see something akin to Marcus' walk rate from milb, but hopefully that's coming soon. Very impressed with his batwork in a small sample. Here's hoping that he and Micah are our 1 and 2 hitters in 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 If the Sox clear out some of the dead weight, and make some shrewd moves for the offense, they could have an entertaining team in 2014, a winning team in 2015, and a playoff team in 2016.

spiderman Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 22, 2013 -> 02:34 PM) Johnson 6.2 IP 2R vs. The Tigers. Solid. It's been said around here often, but the rotation, with Johnson doing a nice job here in the last month of the season, looks very solid for next season. Obviously, there are no guarantees that this will hold up, and questions remain about pretty much in the rotation (not about Sale's stuff, but more durability). I don't want the White Sox to go on an off-season spending spree, but would love another chance at landing another Garcia type from another club, but not sure how they do that without moving a Quintana type. 1) Chris Sale 2) Jose Quintana 3) John Danks 4) Hector Santiago 5) Erik Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2nd_city_saint787 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 If I'm the Sox I'm dangling both Q and Santiago out there. If the offer for Q is overwhelming in comparison to Santiagos then I'm trading Q. I've seen enough of EJ to say that I want him in the rotation next year. Sox can do worse than throwing Rienzo out there every 5 days....Hopefully he either pitches well or Beck or Bassit push their way through AA/AAA and give the Sox a better option.

2nd_city_saint787 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 22, 2013 -> 04:01 PM) No reason to trade either. If they can get back an impact bat there is. With EJ emerging and Bassit and Beck looking like they can be here in a year it makes a lot of sense. Sale-Q-Danks-EJ-Rienzo with Snodgress and/or Leesman being the emergency starters looks fine to me. Esp. if it means they upgraded the O.

Balta1701 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 22, 2013 -> 05:01 PM) No reason to trade either. Only thing I don't want to see is one of these guys being randomly stuck in the bullpen. It keeps them from developing their offspeed stuff, prevents them from building up innings on their arm, and sets them back so far in both that you're dealing with problems from it the next season +. Sale last year, Santiago this year, every time we do it it's a terrible idea. Which is why Rienzo or Johnson in the bullpen is exactly what I'm expecting next year. And I'm going to hate it.

flavum Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 In my opinion, Johnson is a lock starter next year. Santiago will get traded, and the rotation will be Sale, Danks, Quintana, Johnson, and Rienzo and a free agent will compete for the 5th spot. The loser of the 5th spot and Leesman will be in long relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
