  1. Please be Correa, please be Correa, please be Correa.
  2. I mean this is what Reinsdorf teams do. See the Bulls.
  3. Tim had a .399 BABIP last year. He'll turn back into a pumpkin next year.
  4. Now's our chance. How often does a player like Carlos Correa become available for trade? Once or twice a decade? Source: https://theathletic.com/1450039/2019/12/10/rosenthal-sources-say-the-astros-have-considered-trading-carlos-correa/ Risk Correa has struggled to stay healthy the past few years, and he has what many would call a troubling history with his back. Reward Correa has MVP upside and produces like a franchise star when he plays. You roll the dice on him, and away we go. Cost Would the Astros take Tim Anderson, Andrew Vaughn, Zack Collins or James McCann, and Luis Basebe for the guy? Maybe! Anyway, this is the type of deal that can make us machines for the next decade. Scope this potential 2020 lineup alone: C Yasmani Grandal 3b Yoan Moncada SS Carlos Correa LF Eloy Jimenez 1B Jose Abreu DH Nick Castellanos (fuck it, get him, too) CF Luis Robert RF Nomar Mazara 2B Nick Madrigal It's boner time!
  5. I'm disappointed in Soxtalk today, honestly. 24 year olds are not complete products. Nomar Mazara has immense, untapped upside. We gave up damn-near nothing to get him (a 23 year old putting up similar numbers in the minors as the 24 year old is putting up in the majors). At the very worst, we've added a right fielder who fields like a dream and can do some damage at the bottom of our lineup and is a massive upgrade from what we had. At best, we just stole a young buck pre-breakout. Calling Walker our 6th best prospect is what it is - we're top heavy in that department. The guy is going to really have to kick things into gear to ever be a 1fWAR player in the bigs. Zero risk and tons of reward potential.
  6. A decade of advanced metrics and advanced scouting- and TWTW.
  7. Wow. What a gripping story. Poor Bobby. As a recovering alcoholic, this type of read is always essential to keep up the good fight.
  8. I see we still have a “Cole to Angels” based on a bullshit, nonsense tweet topic instead of a “Gerrity Cole” topic. Great.
  9. It was out there for over 12 hours Agreed, but the thread title was misleading He has sub-1,000 followers no idea here either word
  10. This is a lie! The story was a complete fabrication that Derrick Rose was returning on a given day. 😳 I shouldn't have done it, and the site's long gone. C'est la vie. Now I focus on family and career and find much more joy and success. 🙂 Doesn't change the fact that this thread still being titled what it is is a bad look on Soxtalk (and by it's given name, FutureSox).
  11. How am I a Yankees fan? I woke up at 2am for some reason, checked this, saw the info and suddenly realized if the Yankees didn't land Cole they were going to go all-in on Strasburg, whom I still am hopeful the Sox somehow surprise me on. Sorry that what I asked to have changed (the thread title) caused so many "hard workers at FutureSox" so much pain WHEN THE FUCKING THREAD TITLE SAYS "PER FUTURESOX". We have a thread here that's still fabrication saying Gerritt Cole is headed to the Angels, and the very title says the opposite of what people are say (personal Twitters do not represent FutureSox). I see little has changed around here. Simple, basic moderation is completely ignored. New thread title suggestion: Unsubstantiated Rumor: Cole to LA Angels per random guy on Twitter
  12. He's a nobody and FutureSox is a nothingburger. This thread remains misinformation.
  13. Guys, this thread title needs to be changed. Complete fabrication by someone barely better than a Twitter egg.
  14. Maybe they'll throw in Kluber while you're playing The Show over there.
  15. I mean, that's when the guy was a mega super-hyped young buck so I'd expect Seattle days would be when you'd be a fan. Regarding Pineda, if the money's right, fine. However, I agree with a poster that this team needs to get out of the gate early.
