Ahhh, now the whole Latos DFA makes slightly more sense….
A'sfaninUK
DFA’ing a SP for a 1B/DH? No that actually doesn’t make sense.
Good night Avisail?
dereklasky
They DFA’d Latos to promote RHP prospect Tyler Danish to Chicago. Morneau is a separate move.

How’s that make no sense? Danish won’t be up when Morneau is healthy. They’ll send him back down when he’s ready, and use Gonzalez in the 5 spot. Makes perfect sense actually

Lol? Right! DFAing a SP makes me think you know nothing about baseball
kroe
Anyone know his timetable on recovery?
pullhitter445
Kroe- morneau won’t be back until third week of July at the earliest. Some are suggesting mid August. Which at that point I’m not sure where will be at in the playoff hunt. My guess sitting in 4th place in a winnable al central. Just let Cleveland and kc battle things out, rebuild now and get ahead of everyone in the division. Twins have a jump start on the central but are still ways away.

The drinking started early on the South Side it appears…
Zach Howard
so is the contest over then?
chesteraarthur
Is there any update on his return time frame? Seems like an odd time to sign him.
cubsfan2489
Probably the next month or so, don’t really see them making this move unless they think he can contribute by August
Gogerty
So assuming there will be no chat today?
Strauss
This is what happens when you have two boneheads, Hahn and Williams, running the show. Better keep oiling that revolving door at Comiskey Park.
Gogerty
And the Cell?
Strauss
Yea, it’s a jail cell all right. 15,000 inmates last night to see the Nationals. EMBARRASSING
pullhitter445
It’s a nice ball park. If your a cub fan trolling Strauss your pathetic. If I’m a cub fan I’m savoring the moment and enjoying the good years not giving the sox any of my attention.

Good Canadian boy back in the bigs – proper thing. All the best to Morneau.

I worry Justin will even have the calibration to find his way to the ballpark.

announced at 15,000 but it sure looked more like 6 or 7. ventura lost the clubhouse again. doesnt look good for the pale hose.
Priggs89
Do you spend a lot of time in the clubhouse? Every report I’ve heard has said otherwise.
tycobb016
i spend zero time in the clubhouse. not sure where you get your reports from. i hear on the radio that the clubhouse is in good shape. my source tells me Robin has lost the clubhouse. again. i cant prove to you that the team is a mess in the locker room anymore than you can prove to me the locker room is in good shape. wake up. dont be so naive. sox better off without Robin and with Renteria. my source tells me the switcheroo will be in at the allstar break if not before. let Robin go home like he wants to and sox can get on with trying to win enough games ti make playoffs. jerry believes the team is good enough. i hope they acquire an outfielder who can hit.

“i hear on the radio that the clubhouse is in good shape. my source tells me Robin has lost the clubhouse. again. i can’t prove to you that the team is a mess in the locker room anymore than you can prove to me the locker room is in good shape. wake up. don’t be so naive.”
You literally just proved it more to me that the locker room is in good shape more than you could prove that the team is a mess in the locker room. The only public reports (from the radio, the same place you heard it) state that the clubhouse is in good shape. Until you or I spend some time in the locker room or there are reports stating otherwise, I find it very hard to be confident in a statement like “Ventura has lost the clubhouse again.”
All that being said, I’ve wanted Ventura gone for a LONG time and think that Renteria would be a much better fit.
tycobb016
okay one last time. on the radio i have heard lately that the clubhouse is in good shape. i heard it a few times including friday that the clubhouse was good. however my source, not the radio where you get your reports from, but from my source who is close to the ballclub has told me that the clubhouse is a mess, that robin has lost the locker room yet again. my source, not the radio, but my source tells me Robin is gone by the break if not before. he added of the sox start to win, put a streak together, charge into the break rather thsn limp into the break, robin will stay. sorry about the confusion. still not sure where you get your reports from but i assumed it was radio or other media. those guys tend to twist things.

No chat today?

Shields for the starter. An injured Morneau for the left handed bat. All that’s needed to fill the lefty reliever role is Phil Coke and they can just hand over the WS trophy. Looks like they are more concerned with checking things off the grocery list, than actually getting quality.
