caulfield12 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) Back to a tie with the Tigers, who managed to close out a slim 9-8 lead (was 9-2) with apparent new closer Wilson. The problem, of course, is that Sox brass hasn't seen how they would compete with top-flight competition (since the All-Star Break) other than the Royals and Cardinals...obviously, they let one of the Cards games get away, but they're simply not in a position to add 2 of the top 20 players in baseball in Price and Tulo. AA is gambling his future as a GM on those deals working out. The White Sox are not in the same position.

Yes, but you can argue with our rs/ra ratio, all the dramatic late comebacks from down 3-4 runs in the first six weeks or so (there must have been five or six of them), the fact that we're playing two rookies on the infield who have never been through a pennant race, there's just a lot of factors arrayed against them (along with the upcoming schedule). Baltimore's been really quiet, and Minnesota hasn't made a move, either. You'd have to imagine they will all come up with something in the next 17 hours or so.

Williams/Hahn are horrible at drafting position players and the lack of out of town stupid in baseball now is making it really hard for us to pawn off our garbage for real players.

You can move Shark and still potentially contend. It would be harder, but the White Sox odds are not all that fantastic as is. There's nothing else to sell, though, so you can "sell" without throwing in the white flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
