Cant say what we got, probably toilet paper.

As long as his salary is off the books, it's a win.

He was thrown in as a salary dump to help offset the payroll the Yanks took on for Robertson and Frazier.

If the PTBNL has a pulse, that's a plus.

One name I have heard rumored is 2B Tony Kemp.

Clippard has a pretty good track record and had a 1.80 ERA for us. We should get something decent...

WshflThinking · « **Reply #2506 on:** August 14, 2017, 10:40:30 am »

But Houston also has a record of not giving up anything of value in trades. Its why I suggested toilet paper.

WshflThinking · « **Reply #2507 on:** August 14, 2017, 10:45:04 am »

Question of the day....Who gets the callup to replace Clippard on the roster? Should be a pitcher I would presume.

BlackSox · « **Reply #2508 on:** August 14, 2017, 11:09:14 am »

Holmberg.

Probably Dylan Covey or Al Alburquerque.

I would guess Covey, but I would think Farquhar ahead of Alburquerque. I just wanted to try and spell those two names.

BlackSox · « **Reply #2510 on:** August 14, 2017, 12:35:26 pm »

Forgot about Farquhar. I'm guessing it will be some old guy reclamation project that they possibly could showcase & flip in the next two weeks.

Could also be Lowe or Machi, the two guys we picked up from Seattle AAA team, both ex big leaguers I believe.

Rick Vaughn.

Kemp would be a great get

The rumor mill continues to churn:

Rumor Central: Orioles looking at Miguel Gonzalez, Derek Holland?

The Orioles are looking for pitching help and have checked in on two White Sox starters who will be free agents this offseason.

espn.com

Ten cents each? Sold.

BlackSox · « **Reply #2515 on:** August 14, 2017, 10:01:39 pm »

Heyman with the scoop of the year:

Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports reports the White Sox would like to work out trades for Gonzalez, Holland and reliever Tyler Clippard, all of whom will be free agents this offseason.

ISF · « **Reply #2516 on:** August 15, 2017, 01:00:47 pm »

No one is looking at Holland as a starter. As a LOOGY out of the pen, he could be interesting. Sox should probably call up Giolito and move Holland into that role to give teams a look.

Makes sense, good idea.

BillSharp · « **Reply #2518 on:** August 15, 2017, 05:52:58 pm »

Calling up Giolito would be stupid - he's really stunk at AAA.

WshflThinking · « **Reply #2519 on:** August 15, 2017, 06:23:01 pm »

I haven't heard who they have or have not called up. No announcement that I've heard

WshflThinking · « **Reply #2520 on:** August 15, 2017, 06:34:00 pm »

I just heard they activated Covey off the DL.

Sharpie you haven't been following Giolito's last 5 or 6 starts, he's been great in all of them except one. Tonight was another example. They would be nuts not to bring him up, just to see if this late improvement plays in the Show.

BillSharp · « **Reply #2522 on:** August 16, 2017, 11:03:28 pm »

Sooner you bring them up sooner they become a FA. Giolito still has to pitch better before I'd give him service time.

I still think it's silly having Moncada on the 25 roster. I get no joy in watching him struggle, I find it painful.

Method · « **Reply #2523 on:** August 17, 2017, 08:32:48 am »

He needs to spend another 4-500 atbats in the minors. bring him up when eloy is ready.

Shoeless · « **Reply #2524 on:** August 17, 2017, 05:43:58 pm »

Moncada needed 100+ ABs at the major league level. Only way you get better
