maxjusttyped Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I honestly don't think there is anything Hahn or KW could do to get fired. They both seem to be untouchable until the team has new ownership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footlongcomiskeydog Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 A big no to taking on that Shields contract. This team will be 7 or 8 games out come Mid-July most likely. There is no way to overcome such bad managing and such a bad bullpen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butter Parque Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 QUOTE (Knuckles @ May 28, 2016 -> 08:33 PM) Keith Law said, Tim Anderson is available for a SP... *shrugs* He said he's available for a "mid-rotation pitcher". I thinks that's very fair value, Hahn... Doesn't seem like a panic move at all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 (edited) If they trade Tim Anderson for a middling starting pitcher when that's not even on the Top 10 list of team needs at the moment...I will petition Harvard to retroactively take back Hahn's JD degree.

Condor13 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 If Anderson is available then they should have traded him already for a big bat like CarGo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whisox05 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 REPORT: Erik Johnson and Fernando Tatis Jr. rumored to be involved in @barstoolWSD 's reported James Shields deal. https://t.co/snUx1PMMbX https://twitter.com/BrianBilek_/status/736682992349941761 Erik Johnson was supposed to start for Charlotte Knights today, but has been removed and probable is listed as TBD. #WhiteSox https://twitter.com/BrianBilek_/status/736683215667269632 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 (edited) Well, one thing's for sure. Shields was credited with being the main leader to turn the Royals around in 2013 and 2014. This would be an even bigger test, to right this sinking ship and fast. If nothing else, it buys Robin Ventura 2-3 more weeks of time. It's also almost comical how Miguel Gonzalez is going to lose his spot when he has nothing to do with losing his last couple of starts. Poor guy has 13 consecutive outings where he started and his team (Balt and the Sox) has lost. I'm sure he planned on having a much bigger 32nd birthday celebration last night when he left the game with a "safe" lead. Almost would rather replace Latos in the rotation, but that won't happen.

lord chas Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 The White Sox should NOT be trading young high ceiling guys for expensive old players on the decline! When will we learn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footlongcomiskeydog Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Picking up a pitcher who is owed 40 million over the next two years is a terrible idea. This Sox team is way too flawed this year and has no chance to realistically compete with such a bad bullpen and massive holes at SS, C, and DH.
