    White Sox Improve Pitching with 2 Nice Additions

    David Robertson to close, Jeff Samardzija to slide in as #2 starter after Sale.

    not bad moves.

    They were dumb to let Matt Thornton walk away last year though.

    Robertson is a bit overrated though.

    Not sure he is capable of being a big league closer. He is better suited for the set up role IMO.

    My record is 24-39 with an ERA of 3.80 in the last 3 full seasons. I have lost 13 games 3 seasons in a row.

    I am most likely a #4 or #5 starter who will give you innings but isn't that good.

    I will most likely get 100 million for these efforts.

    Who am I?

    LOL #2 starter? Definitely not.

    But #2 starter for the White Sox, yes. Speaks more for rest of the rotation.

    I think there are 500 type team with some luck they could be in some sort of contention

    More Latin players you have the better shot you have to win now

    They are superior to any other race as far as baseball

    First of all, he isn't the GM. Second of all, he's leaving for Toronto (thank goodness). Get a clue.

    Next thing you know Benny will be saying Jose Quintana sucks because of his W-L record.

    Have you ever watched Samardzija pitch? Ever look into statistics more than W-L?

    Didn't think so. What a bufo

    White Sox now a legit AL contender. Let's be real.

    One of my most profitable fades ever in MLB.
    This is why I know he's garbage.
    Always overpriced and overrated.
    I'd take Quintana over him easliy.
