May better be promoted soon or this F/O will lose any credibility it has left with “service time issues.”

While the situation with Meyer and May has been perplexing, it has nothing to do with service time. They are well past the cutoffs for super two or gaining an extra year of service.

It’ll be nice to get Avi back and get him some ABs. Him and Abreu back to back would be dangerous.

Hahn has roster decision issues… really? Dump De Aza… done. Also putting half of the team on waivers would be a no brainer. Why Dunn, De Aza, Beckham, Danks and Viciedo are not already on some sort of waivers is a wonder unto itself (at least I have not heard anything about these guys going on waivers). I mean even if you do not get anything for these guys it is addition by subtraction. Or you wake them up and get them playing better. I really worry about the future of the White Sox, a GM that gave up a 30 save guy for a guy who is cooling off bleacher bums in the minors with his strikeouts, and I think if Hahn wants to keep any credibility he needs to remove Robin as Manager as it is starting to look like ’12 was the fluke (not 13) with the way he seems to mismanage fielding positioning and the bullpen and holds no one accountable for stupid errors (they still are out there the next day). Sadly though knowing Reinsdorf, Robin will be around as long as he wants the job, but this kind of attitude is what led the Sox to many underachieving seasons with Ozzie at the helm.

What about adding Eaton for Santiago? What about putting his pecker on the line for Abreu? I am pretty confident Garcia will be a productive starter for the long term. Does giving up a washed up Peavy for him look like a stinker?
“I think if Hahn wants to keep any credibility…” I think you are the one who has lost credibility.

Wait wait wait.. Garcia is NOT producing here yet. I hope he does (because the Sox sorely need a bat behind Abreu), but lets not anoint him anything more than a Carlos Quentin type, Ok?
Eaton? Yeah so great he somehow misjudged a fly ball on his OWN field and ran full speed into a fence knocking himself silly and his back out of whack costing him games, same with his hamstring injuries. But, like I said if Hahn wants to KEEP his credibility.. did I say he did not have it back when those moves were made? NO, BUT then again he DID trade his closer for a guy striking out an awful lot in the minors did he not?

White Sox shouldn’t put their big $$ guys (Danks, Dunn..) on waivers until the the final 48 hrs. Cash strapped/small market contending teams are more likely to consider a claim on Dunn if they only owe him approx $2.3m at the end of the month vs. approx. $4.25m today (The Danks $ savings isn’t very compelling..if at all). Plus contenders might suffer injuries in the next 3 weeks. I would guess neither is claimed/moved via a straight wavier claim or trade, although Dunn is a possibility if he can get hot. I don’t think any team wants Beckham even as a straight waiver claim, he is a non-tender at seasons end. DeAza will be DFAed by Aug. 21 to make room for Garcia. Viciedo should have 20+HRs at seasons end and should be movable for a bag of balls in the winter (it wouldn’t surprise me if he is on the opening day roster in 2015 though). Davidison has been awful in the minors-trade report card doesn’t come out for a few years though. Get Rodon, Johnson, Wilkins & Garcia up in Sept. and see how they respond.

About freakin time the Twins promoted May. He has had a breakthrough season at AAA. A four pitch starter with a good fastball. Can’t wait to watch him debut.

Ventura and Hahn need to wake up and bat Viciedo in front of Abreu in the 3-hole.
