disappointed in kirk for such a poor troll job.

easy. although i speak in absolutes the reality is there is a non-zero chance the Sox admit their mistake in signing Robertson, eat substantial salary and trade him to blue jays. sure, it's like .0005% but by blocking it's 0%.

it's a risk free move.

Out.

I'm not going to follow you chasing your tail on this one.

robertson won't be traded until july of the last year of his contract. he's stuck saving games the next two years for a 70 win team. doubt he cares and he got paid and he'll get many days off pitching for a loser.

olt put one on the concourse.

He also has 2 errors.

Guys watching the Sox in this thread?

I thought it was some kind of joke......you know,like the team itself.

WTF

Gordon Mendoza pinch hitting for Abreu in bottom of 9th down 2 runs..with a man on.

_________________

He's not pinch hitting for Abreu. Robin pulled Abreu back after Saladino grounded into a double play. And there's not a man on but besides that you're all over it

Mendoza strikes out..n this ball game is ova .

_________________

Ahh just caught the last at bat n Squawk said Abreu going to bat..then Mendoza steps up.

Lindor goes deep again. That kid's a stud. Picked one spot ahead of Baez. Boy did they make the right call.

7 runs and 116 pitches. time to take him out?

Rodon on cruise control.

remember those silly days when Schwarber was much better than Rodon?

I think he figured it out.

No money for Shark, let Johnson get a full time stab at it.

Pitching isn't really the issue.

Can't say I do.

Agreed - Johnson needs to cut down on his walks, and I'd like to see him get into the 7th+, but I've been encouraged by him. I think, so far, he's the front-runner for 5th starting spot (or 4th depending on how Danks is viewed). I'd like to see that spot have competition with one of their other younger pitchers.

With Sale, Quintana, and Rodon in the top of the rotation, they are capable of getting good to great starts on a consistent basis.

I don't think Shark should be brought back, but I'd be willing to gamble that he won't accept a 1 year QO deal. I know Gammons said he would accept, but other national writers (Heyman, Rosenthal) think there is still a good market for him despite this season. I still think he's going to end up with a deal at least as good as the Cubs offered him, and maybe more. In any case, I think the White Sox need as many draft picks as possible to continue to adding to their farm system.

Outside of resigning Albers, the pitching staff is probably set.

The only variable to consider is that the White Sox consider using Quintana to get back some offensive pieces that they can plug in. With holes at 3B, SS, C, and DH (although we know La Roche wlll get some of those AB's), they may have to get creative in how they address the offense. I'm not comfortable with Carlos Sanchez at 2B either, but there are so many holes to fill and they need to improve the defense as well.

I'm still not sure how Tryce Thompson fits in here either with Carbrera, Eaton and Garcia in the OF. Garcia hasn't played well, but I don't think they are going to give up on him.

I'm afeared they will trade Quintana.

A. that rotation looks much less solid without him, and
B. I don't trust their talent evaluation AT ALL.

12 up 12 down for Zija. Who is this masked man.

2016

1. Sale
2. Rodon
3. Quintana
4. Danks
5. Johnson

Fulmer can move into Danks' spot in 2017. Now, they just need to find some bats.

It's the time of year when bums like this spin no-hitters vs. depleted lineups filled with minor leaguers.

Look at guys 5-9 in that Tigers' lineup. No Cabrera today either.

Sanchez with 3 hits today. He shouldn't be losing playing time to Micah Johnson. Sanchez has a much better chance of being a long term option at 2B than Johnson does. I would like to see Johnson get some starts in left field.

He fired a 1 hitter and threw 87 pitches. Ha
