Tank as in lose games on purpose? Loser mentality. Never acceptable

Would you say that if it meant missing out on a Sale or Abreu type player?

There are no guaranteed picks in the draft. None.

but with the team going nowhere and the players knowing that who cares if they play half ass? i mean sure there is no lock in the draft but if we arent going anywhere id prefer to have atleast a better shot at young talent. hell get another top pitcher and stock up

Good players can be had if scouting is there

Tank for a real manager.

You don't not try...but you give the young guys playing time at the MLB level to see what you've got and take your foot off the gas by cutting the starting pitchers' innings...and lose additional games in the process.

Via Rotoworld:

Daryl Van Schouwen writes that "it seems possible" the White Sox will non-tender Gordon Beckham this offseason.

Not only is it possible, it's probably likely. Beckham figures to earn north of $5 million in his final year of arbitration, and the White Sox have cheaper and likely better alternatives at second base in Marcus Semien, Carlos Sanchez and Micah Johnson. Beckham is sporting a career-low .606 OPS this season and is a career .244/.307/.375 hitter. The White Sox figure to make one last effort to trade him this winter, but it seems likely that they'll just wind up cutting him loose.

White Sox manager Robin Ventura said Friday that Avisail Garcia (shoulder) could be activated from the disabled list this weekend.
