I just hope they're not showcasing Travis for a trade. I'd like to start him next season as our fulltime 1B after Moreland is gone.

yes

I can remember other team's scouts ( during the winter where we signed Pablo-Hanley, Was. signed Scherzer ) thought Johnson was the most complete SP out of that group and valued him most. Perhaps they were right?

Exactly. We can't blame JBJ for what goes on at 3B. I still love our OF and I'd be very hesitant on changing it anytime soon.

Devers, Groome, Swihart, Travis, Longhi, Chavis, Chatham, Dalbec, Ockimey... I think some combination could get something done. I just wouldn't want to do it. And I hope they don't.

Ha! Very true. My #5 SP expectations are always pretty low. All Pom has to do is give the Sox the slightest chance to win, in most cases. Even if he gave us a consistent 5 Innings and 3 runs per outing for the rest of the year I'd be ecstatic. 6 Inn, 2 R? I'm a happy guy.

Pom with the QS and 11 K's. Dare I say it that things are looking up?

he needs to throw his sinker, that what he f***ing needs

wait, on your face? or the opposing SP? Ya' need to clarify this type of thing...

HanRam for 3B? ...no, never mind. I'd never hear the end of it.

that good huh? lol

Buchholz isn't close to the worst, at all really. Pom on the other hand seems to be a future candidate if he doesn't turn things around. There's still time for him yet.

In my mind, Dice-K doesn't come close to consideration. Overhyped? Certainly. But he had 2 excellent seasons and a very quality 3rd season, and helped with a championship. Worst? Gagne is up there for me. Bobby Jenks as well. I was pretty excited to get both of them at the time and it turned out to be just a shitshow.

Hey Kimmi, that reminds me, those bandanas you wanted ordered came in yesterday...so everyone will get one for Monday's Hand Sign meeting...

I'd rather have them struggle early in the season than struggle late in the season. Go Sox! ... or ...um, .. don't?

Ofcourse, as soon as I say all this Quintana throws a gem...

Me neither, that's why I said "sort of". But the C's have the Net's 2018 1st pick as well so.... there's still hope of drafting a Power Forward or Center next draft.

Do you mean a pitcher who at some point in time that was considered good or was good and then became terrible? Like, over-rated or over-hyped and didn't contribute what-so-ever at any time? Every team must have a 'long list of suck' that could be stretched out for miles. Do you mean only the ones that have had poor performances along with substantial consequences?

Upon reading that the Red Sox and Nationals have been scouting the White Sox recently, I'm curious on what TalkSox think about all this. Is it just due diligence? I've always liked Quintana, he's been one the the most if not THE most under-rated SPer(s) in the league for the last 3 years. I've been following him closely, having drafted him for my fantasy team of last year, and this season. The reasons that he's available in fantasy is that he doesn't get that many Wins (not his fault) and K's (this doesn't necessarily mean too much in baseball reality, only in fantasy). However, this season he hasn't been that impressive and I'd hate to give up too many assets for him (we don't have many of them left either, but I do think we would have enough, just barely, unless some other team upped the ante of course). I also think we've built from the top with Sale, and Price coming back soon, ERod's QS after QS, and if Porcello stops loving his FB so much (again) and starts mixing in his Sinker (again), we only need a quality 4th or 5th SP. What do you all think? Should we go for broke for Quintana? I'm in a serious way leaning towards no.

hmmm, weren't there just a few balls he could've dove for but didn't?

oh, I see, just in time for the Boston series. Thats, that's just great lol

Just my personal tip for Velazquez: Don't throw it over the plate, but don't throw any balls either. He does that he'll be fine.

When's your boy Haniger get back? My fantasy team misses him. Him & Paxton

I was just kidding, I'm not angry lol Yeah, Gray has at least more than half a season of good history behind him.

Dual income , no kids? :confused:What an *******!
