bmags Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 12:56 PM) I just think the Sox trade for someone who is gonna help next year, and possibly even this year. Can't see them trading their best chip for a piece that's a few years away. Particularly when said piece plays the position that Tim Anderson plays (hopefully). Yes, I agree on the close to minors portion, I just don't think they would refuse to inquire on a talent like that because of Tim Anderson. No guarantees either would end up a SS, and it's the easiest position to move elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If both Anderson and Fox pan out, one moves position. It is a problem the Sox would love to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least on the errors he's improved a lot this year. Hard to judge other things for minor leaguers but we're seeing clear, legitimate improvement in that part of his game.

OmarComing25 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Anderson is still pretty raw, right? I think it's too early to say he won't be able to be adequate defensively at SS. He certainly has the speed and athleticism for it. We don't really know yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Yes, and that is key. Reports on Anderson's athleticism are through the roof, if his instincts and footwork is improving, he has so much athleticism to make up the rest. I'm really excited for Anderson since he's turned it on in mid-june. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2nd_city_saint787 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Ya, I really love what I've heard about Tim defensively this year. At this point it sounds like he can stick. He's been ballin out in AA, leading the league in hits and stolen bases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems unlikely; White Sox typically prefer major league ready talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tons of raw talent, gonna take some work to get there. Odds are pretty low he ends up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGajewski18 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Dan Hayes @CSNHayes 2m2 minutes ago Robin Ventura and Rick Hahn talked and Jeff Samardzija is starting for #WhiteSox tomorrow as far as the manager knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 If Toronto really wants Shark, I'd want Hoffman/Sanchez + Anthony Alford. Otherwise I'm waiting until Thursday to see how the week goes. I'd prefer the WhiteSox sell but I do want them to holdout for best Shark package.

ILMOU Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 07:03 PM) Don't see it. #MNTwins playing .531 ball & are 2nd wild card. That's on pace for 86 wins. #WhiteSox would have to go 40-26 to do that -- very tall order. https://twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/625458965921562625 This was my response @CSNHayes 40-26 would be sox going on a .600 winning percentage for rest of year. Pretty much winning every series here on out.Can't see it https://twitter.com/whisox05/status/625461892857860096 And hayes agreed with me Sorry, but pace/schmace - Twins might well be 82-83 win frauds. But yes, trade Shark for a bat or other good value if possible. Edited July 27, 2015 by Stan Bahnsen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KW said from the start of this season that he loved this team more than a lot of his previous teams because they were all grinder type players who he knew would push through the long season to its end. He still believes this team is going to make a push for the playoffs and they will likely trade no one. I am convinced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the beginning of June the Twins have a .449 winning percentage. If you believe that version of the Twins is the more real one, then they're on pace for 81 wins.
