Odor might need a couple days off.

Most definitely

The fuck are you doing, Elvis?

With no pitching it would be average.

True but there is the offseason to pick up pitchers as well as replenish AAA. Also there is a little bit of luck to win WS. Injuries bite

There will be free agent pitching available in the offseason and there will be other prospects that they can trade for pitching. It won't be an ace, but with Cole and Yu that is not needed. There is also the possibility of trading Odor and/or Deshields.

Whether you make a trade during the offseason or during the season, it's still going to cost prospects.

I am not saying trade all those players but we may have to lose one. From what I have heard the FA pitchers available is nothing special this off season.

I'm sorry, but this another shining example of you changing to script to fit your argument at the time. You have proclaimed many times that we simply will not sign high level pitchers because they don't want to come pitch in Arlington. It's one of the reasons you've pointed to the Yu acquisition as so important. Now you're saying we can take care of our pitching needs with FA in the offseason.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

That was a strike

The #WhiteSox want #Rangers' Nomar Mazara for Chris Sale, but it looks unlikely mlbtraderumors.com/2016/07/white-…

Plus in the meantime we go ahead and tank this season.

Hopefully it's not the bullpens turn to mess up.

Against that myself. He has done very well considering his age and minor league experience.

For sure and I think if we get a high profile pitcher it will be via trade but we may get lower tier via FA. I am just reacting to the proposed trade haul needed to get Sale who IMO has a bit too much torque. They need at least one SP now to keep in contention

Besides this guys seems such a primadonna with this uni thing. Not worth it. Appreciate the effort tho, JD

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Good job Barnette and thanks Colon.

Maybe he wants to be traded. Ha!

Wouldn't you if you played for the white sox?

Rare sac bunt. Playing for insurance run
