caulfield12 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 (edited) Can't beat your division rivals at home in front of the 2005 champs, time to start planning for next season. It was entertaining there at least for two weeks. Back to normal again. What are we now, 16-28 against the Central? Hopefully there are wholesale changes before next season. If we hear about how the All-Star break killed all the team's momentum, it's going to get old in a hurry coming from Hahn. Is our franchise outlook better than Tiger Woods'? Maybe...

Flash Tizzle Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I'd say this is the defining game for convincing anyone in the front office who believed otherwise that this season is done. You can't sell hope anymore, especially your ace pitcher losing against the division rivals and the offense doing its own updated version of Corpseball. It actually feels like the kind of day to expect a trade or two. Sunday home game, conclusion of a terrible series, why not start now with unloading what we can?

caulfield12 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 (edited) Who can they trade other than Samardzija? Bonifacio, Beckham and a couple of relievers for spare parts. I suppose they could dump Alexei and put Saladino there, but what fans will buy them competing for anything next year with Sanchez/Saladino up the middle, no 3b, Avi and Flowers starting?

LittleHurt05 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 03:13 AM) Sox had been playing well before the break, winning series after series. As expected, they are back to their Sox ways post AS break. I predict the inevitable 3 of 4 losses to KC. Today's game 5-1 Royals.

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Having a terrible record against your division is just brutal. This seasons over. Time to move Shark and prepare for '16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saladino on the trade market has about as much value as my expired Ant-Man ticket stub. He should be a decent utility player, although we've already needlessly spent $6+ million on that spot with a negative return on investment.

caulfield12 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 03:20 PM) Congrats greg, you were off by a single run The real question is who bet their house on the Danks start? That would have taken major cojones. Losses in Quintana and Sale starts against KC aren't exactly shockers. And Alex Gordon's out too, so we can't really use the injury excuse, either.

Lip Man 1 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Offense is still brutal. Can't beat divisional opponents (because they don't stack up to them talent-wise) Time to call it a night on another season and start trading whatever you can for the future.

Likely Samardzija or Quintana would be the only legitimate piece, but for me it represents more than just his return value -- a trade finally recognizes this season for the failure it is and allows us to move on. Give Sanchez, Saladino consistent playing time. Promote Erik Johnson and Montas. Honestly, worrying about the fans and how they'll receive the team is exactly why we've always tried this "building on the fly" nonsense. If we're terrible again, so be it. Let there be 5,000 people in the stands. Hahn will just have to learn from his mistakes, and those of his predecessor, particularly when it concerns the lack of a minor league pipeline. I feel myself and others have been saying this going back to 2003, the White Sox have to drastically improve their minor league system (from top to bottom) to have SUSTAINED success. Look at the teams continually in the playoffs, are they building on the fly from year to year? At this point, the draft is our only legitimate means of otaining star talent. May as well embrace losing (atleast this season) and hope for that Top 3 draft pick! Edited July 19, 2015 by Flash Tizzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
