White Sox

[funkster]

Ive been saying this whole time that once they started playing someone worth a damn it would be a different story. 

[Butcher]

It feels Iike they were winning a lot of one run games earlier in the season. That tends to even out.

[rok]

Lots of come-from-behind wins early on. That was only possible while their bullpen wasn't terrible.

[Butcher]

Also, if they aren't winning Sale's and Quintana's starts, they're in trouble. There's a huge dropoff in quality after them in the rotation.

[rok]

Yeah, and early on Latos and Rodon were pretty good for them. Now, not so much. I can see why they would want Shields to shore up their rotation, but scoring runs has been a much bigger problem for them than their rotation and for a much longer time.

[Butcher]

Do they have anything of value in their system to trade for Shields (or anyone, for that matter)?

[rok]

Not really aside from Fulmer and Tim Anderson.

[PcB]

Isn't Shields not very good and on a pretty big contract?

[funkster]

I think his ERA is in the low 3s.  No idea on the peripherals.

[rok]

He's still giving up HR's at an alarming rate.

[funkster]

Abreu has been pretty meh so far this year.

[Runnys]

Can we end this thread and stop worrying about them?  They have a very real chance of being in 4th in their division by the end of the week.

I hate the White Sox obsession, and am glad to move it from the MLB thread (which may have stuff I care about) to this thread (which I don't really care about), but, um, you know nobody made you click on a thread called "White Sox," right?

[funkster]

You can C your way out of this thread.

[PcB]

Stay out of White Sox business.
