Aaron Hicks has only struck out 8 times in 41 AB's so far this year. This isn't the same Aaron Hicks under performance we saw in 2013 and 2014. During 2013 and 2014... We endured 2 years of 140 K's in 467 AB's (30%) 2015... We watched him progress talent wise down to 66 K's in 352 AB's (19%) Then we move him... and replaced him with a guy who struck out 50% of the time. We endured the worst of Hicks and saw him get better and now we will watch another team display the best of him down the road. (I will be proven right later until then it's just my opinion). A potential 20/20 guy moved for a player who will most likely never be a 20/20 guy and most likely never a 10 home run guy. Just a guy who if everything breaks right... will be an average player at a position that is filled with average players. We overpaid for position scarcity. Only the Giants have a Catcher who produces big time at the plate. Every other team is putting average to below average players at Catcher. We could of signed JP Arencebia or Salty and kept Hicks. If you wanted to move Hicks because you didn't like him or believe in him because of work ethic or baseball sense or whatever reason you wanted him off the roster. Should have asked for Justin Wilson instead. Should have traded for a position where you can clearly upgrade... like the BULLPEN. BTW... If you did believe in Aaron Hicks and still traded him. This will end up as totally indefensible.

Yeah... But... I like Park and Sano in RF doesn't scare me that much. The only thing that scared me was the declaration that he would only play RF.

Post of the night

I've had players miss the steal sign... if they miss it twice... I have yelled across the diamond at them... STEAL

This might be something we need

A friend of mine once said...Aww.... Look at the Dead Bird. I looked up and said "where?"

Yep No "True Story" brackets

Welcome aboard... This format has gotten us through some dismal seasons. When it turns around and the Twins start winning... We are going to reverse course and start yelling at each other.

It's honestly looking like it might be. Trying some stuff I guess.

New Post of the Night Leader!!!

The White Sox being able to play defense... May actually make me cry. I think the White Sox playing defense bugs me more than Total System Failure of the Twins.

I've got the Mound Visit Transcript Allen: Ricky... I know... I Know... You don't have to say it. Nolasco: Man if Plouffe catches that ball we are out of the inning. Allen: And you said it. Nolasco: Well Jeez Neil... I need some help here. Allen: You probably should have covered 1st earlier in the inning. Nolasco: We are talking Plouffe right now... why do you feel the need to change the subject.

(Sigh)

He pulled something running to 1st. Left on the Bench... Mastro... Centeno and Dozier but Dozier didn't start because something was nagging him.

I mailed a Live Lobster from Maine to a friend in Grand Forks once. Hindsight is 20/20 and the Manila envelope was a bad idea.

I'd even go as far as say. The Improved White Sox defense may have something to do with the improved White Sox ERA.

Where are you again?

You can use my "True Story" Brackets if you'd like.

It was good... I'm not a Chicago Pizza expert so I can't say it's the best but I took a bite and was encouraged enough to take another bite and I kept going.

Nunez just ain't slowing down I'd keep playing him.

Dear Paul Molitor, Trevor Plouffe just tried to bunt. Is it possible that he's a little uncomfortable and just trying something to see if it works. Sincerly, Riverbrian

Chief has got a box done already and North is working out a distribution deal with Wal-Mart

Well... Worth a Shot

Yeah.. He's gone from better than Escobar in 2015 to not as good as Nunez in 2016. He must not have seen the cliff he walked off.

Seriously... The White Sox playing defense is really going to get under my skin.
