Jerksticks Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 QUOTE (peavy44 @ Jun 5, 2017 -> 05:53 PM) lets lose 99 games This could easily happen once the whole Covey. Pelfrey, Shields & Holland tran derails into a flaming pile of scrap metal. Bullpen is showing signs of not being able to carry a heavy load, which no bullpen really can.

flavum Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Nice comeback win for the Royals, beating the Astros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) Middle relief collapsed for the Astros...and Ken Giles still can be quite shaky from time to time. Â Hosmer and Moustakas maintain a lot of trade value. Vargas is attractive. Cain's value is down. Bonifacio playing very well, and Soler playing his way out of baseball with his start to this year. Might end up holding onto Herrera, Kennedy and Soria...unless they can get decent offers. Edited June 7, 2017 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 14 teams have between 30 and 33 losses right now. Â Mariners are back to .500 (30-30), which is kinda nice. I'd like to see them get a wildcard. Sox caught them at their absolute lowest strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjusttyped Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Picking 4th if the season ended tonight. 4 games behind Philadelphia for the #1 pick, 3.5 behind San Diego for #2. Winning 2 of 3 against San Diego in May could end up having significant ramifications on next years draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox' rotationis starting to show its colors so it's hard to imagine winnijg too many series against a pretty competitive AL.  PLUS the Sox potentially stand to get much worse after the deadline. Not too familiar with San Diego's roster but what pieces do they have to trade that will impact their competitiveness? Surely no Quintanas, DRobs & Kahnles  We also get to call up the AAA guys. Hopefully they shine but the rest of the rotation stays garbage Edited June 9, 2017 by Jerksticks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solarte as a bench player/5th infielder. Chacin, Richard, Cosart....the same trade possibilities as White Sox veteran starters, which isn't much.

kwolf68 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) Who with better knowledge can detail the difference in getting the #1 versus getting the #4 pick in the draft. Is there a big drop off from the prospective #1 and #4? Edited June 9, 2017 by kwolf68 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Jun 9, 2017 -> 07:28 AM) Who with better knowledge can detail the difference in getting the #1 versus getting the #4 pick in the draft. Is there a big drop off from the prospective #1 and #4? I don't think at this point anyone really knows, but there doesn't seem to be a clear cut ARod or Ken Griffey Jr. yet. If the Sox get a top 5 pick, they will most likely draft someone that a lot of people would rank as #1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and there is a huge difference between #1 & #4. Draft position DOES matter. Obviously quality scouting is critical as well, but you can't draft someone who was already selected. See taking Fulmer because Benintendi was off the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jun 10, 2017 -> 01:17 AM) Still 4th. 2 GB of Giants for 3rd. 2.5 GB of Padres for 2nd. 4 GB of Phillies for 1st.  By current BaseRuns, the White Sox are 9th worst. That does not account for how badly the team has played over the last 3 weeks, but this team is perfectly on track. Trade Swarzak, Robertson, Holland, Frazier, Cabrera, and possibly Shields and Quintana, and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trade Swarzak, Robertson, Holland, Frazier, Cabrera, and possibly Shields and Quintana, and go from there. Â You have to imagine that it's a guarantee that the first five and Gonzalez are guaranteed to be traded as they'll all be gone anyway. Then Putnam, Petricka, Jones and Jennings could all be trade options if they return to form. Â Once the inevitable trades come, this team is going to crate hard.

flavum Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 It's looking like the Sox, Royals, and A's will end up with the three worst AL records this season. Â The Sox are 5-2 vs KC, with 12 left- only 3 games before August. Â Six games with the A's before the break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
