None of the moves made should be in response to the ALC getting better, in my opinion. If you're not going to try and compete next season and/or the year after that, then by all means, spend away ALC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dumbest thing Rick Hahn could do would be to make a deal simply because other teams are making deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not saying to make a deal just for no reason, but I would like to think this team wants to atleast be a little competitive next season. There are moves to be made, make them. If not, sell off parts and start this rebuild already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not much left on the MLB roster to actually trade that you can get good value for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing with the Mariners. I think Beltran will benefit being in the AL. Maybe Butler will get traded next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILMOU Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 3, 2013 -> 03:17 PM) If he's getting that kind of money then no one liked him. Noone but me, apparently. Had forgotten about Grandal's PEDs. Not liking the dwindling options at all. 3/21 seems so low in this mkt. I can't quite fathom it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are moves to be made, make them. If not, sell off parts and start this rebuild already. The White Sox right now are in a position of "we need nearly everything to go right in order to be competitive". There's no move out there, or even set of moves, we could make to change that. We need guys like Viciedo, Garcia, Abreu, to hit, we need the defense to remember what 2012 was like, we need the pitching to stay solid or even get better next year. You could upgrade catcher and 3b and still not change that statement. If all those things go right, then maybe whether or not our catchers produce could matter, but if they don't kill the ball then our catcher won't make up the difference. And if all those guys are killing the ball, then we can worry about upgrading the spots that aren't producing at the deadline when we're in better shape.

Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) For those of you who are bored by the lack of White Sox roster news, someone is having fun on Wikipedia editing Sox players' pages with some pretty funny stuff. From Keppinger's page: On December 10, 2012, Keppinger signed a 3-yr $12 million deal with the Chicago White Sox.[8] Keppinger quickly became a bane to the White Sox roster, posting a -1.5 WAR for qualifying batters, narrowly edging Placido Polanco for the dubious distinction of being the worst third baseman in all of major league baseball. And Veal: Veal throws mainly three pitches — a four-seam fastball at 91–94 mph, used to set up a curveball at 77–79 mph, and his signature pitch - the meatball. He also throws a small amount of changeups to right-handed hitters, as well has a handful of two-seam fastballs.
