QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jun 24, 2015 -> 10:42 PM) You're also talking about a 20 year old... i still it is me, i was not like that. i don't think. but to tell the press for the whole country???

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 24, 2015 -> 11:12 PM) I was just looking for more analysis of why you thought he was good. on this one today.... i am with you. i don't why either. b-ball is not as much fun to keep up with, at least for me. btw, i didn't know you were a tough guy??? was there some special school you went too to get like this??

QUOTE (daggins @ Jun 24, 2015 -> 11:03 PM) Lots of talk about blowing up the Sox but we won't really know Hahn's Plahns until the first domino falls. KW retirement.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 24, 2015 -> 11:00 PM) What would the Dodgers want with Adam LaRoche or Melky Cabrera? Some trade proposals are just.... why, i like the idea of Russell, Schwarber, Rizzo, Mark Zagunis, Kyle Hendricks and maybe underwood for Q, Beck, LaRoche, Sanchez, Davidson and Engel

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 24, 2015 -> 10:03 PM) Whose job is to produce a better defensive team? The GM or the coach? I say the weight falls on the GM. Like you said, how can anyone in their right mind build a team around pitching but fail to improve a pathetic defensive team. this goes way back to the time when the new sox park open up and not too many runs were being scored, per the owners opinion. so what did they do. move the fence in to make it more of a hitters park. then they wanted hitters who scored runs, why, to bring the fans out to the park . so now, many yrs later, same formula, get batters who can score and defense??? who cares the fans will come out, they will buy more concessions and beer.... and if lucky, it will be a tight season going into aug for a wild card spot. but at least the team made $$$. ~~~ edit, dang that sounds so much like $$ Bill.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Jun 24, 2015 -> 10:22 PM) Not a pessimistic view, just poking fun at my self. The Sox INTL DEPT might be one of the stronger depts in the entire organization. Vladimir Guerrero Jr is not signing with the White Sox, he's been reported as being a done deal with the Blue Jays. I think that Fox is going to sign with the Dodgers as they're going to overspend. I'm not that high on Soto. I think that there are other outfielders. - yeah thanks to Paddy.... hey, why not him for a co-gm and get rid of the president office in the sox org???

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Jun 24, 2015 -> 11:38 PM) The Hawkins pick was regarded as a solid pick, remember he was mocked as being a top ten pick. And the Anderson pick was regarded as a good pick too by guys like Kikey McDaniel. They have drafted better since the current CBA came into effect. I do think that the Sox should revamp their scouting department when it comes to their domestic amateur scouts, and play development program when it comes to bats. without a shadow of a doubt. this past draft i was hedging on a positional player to draft. but at the end, i wanted if anyone, Fulmer and no one else with the pitcher avail. and look at the abysmal production of the positional players.... the org will need those arms. even if it to trade or something. again, i am lost, but for this draft, at the sox selection of the 4rnd. maybe none of the college or preps were not going to sign or something. i just don't know. the team has a huge black hole on positional players and it was not address. i am lost. at hate what i am going to write, but .... i was looking at the northside draft record and i was trying to figure out how they got a very good farm...... crap, they haven't done that great either in their draft and most of their draft were much higher than the sox. did they have their collective head up each other arses....

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 24, 2015 -> 04:53 PM) Having watched a month to six weeks of both Sanchez and Johnson, I think the team is much better with Carlos's defense, even if Johnson is going to give them a bit more offense. Sanchez is a defensive stopper at 2B, and has changed entire innings with his glove. To a team that is struggling defensively, and is as fragile as it is mentally, I think this is more important. the post of the week. i am in total agreement with you. in a normal situation, esp if the parent team is working on all cylinders, then yeah the team can sacrifice the defense for his bat. excellent thought process.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 24, 2015 -> 11:26 PM) He's old with a limited ceiling and most importantly has no outside shot, which should be a no non these days. you do have a point which i didn't think of, so in other words, how much more does he have to develop. what i saw and concentrated on is his size, really good speed with the ball, his shooting % and his play making ability. many thanks.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 24, 2015 -> 11:20 PM) Yeah that's all I've got tough guy. I like his game. If he sneaks into the mid teens, I'd be fine if the Bulls went up and got him. I'd also be fine if they stayed at #22 and took a player. Didn't mean to ruffle any feathers today. well i was lost as to why as well. but i didn't know enuf of college b-ball to ask the same question. for me, i thought you had a reason on that preference. but what ever.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 24, 2015 -> 10:20 PM) It's going to cost a major asset. Shouldn't do that for a backup pg to your star player. ref post # Post #11844 you said you want nothing of a player... why??

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jun 24, 2015 -> 10:34 PM) This. I'd much rather stay put and hope for Wright who could not only back up Rose, but also has the size to play along side him. nice way to think. groom him for a bulter replacement.

according to mlb rumors, Phillippe Aumont - rp, philly's rp has refuse his outright assignment to the minors. now this is one waiver / trade i would love to add.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Jun 24, 2015 -> 10:00 PM) Meh i like the article, but i am wishing .... oh well. either way nice. on your pessimistic view, how off is the sox in the Lucius Fox-ss and Vladimir Guerrero Jr-of signing with the sox?? edit... ~~ what is your opinion on juan soto

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 24, 2015 -> 08:58 PM) Why? yeah i was wondering about that. but i was not going to ask. i figure i am not that up to date on the nba mock draft.

i wish someone would ask, if able JR the question on how he thought management has done with the sox in the past,,,,, 10 yrs?

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jun 24, 2015 -> 08:41 PM) It was a day game, his 3rd or 4th game in a row where he went well over 100, and he was in trouble. The pen was fresh. There was no reason to leave him out there. and screw that record. the pen was there. use the pen. pretty much like last yr when RV didn't pull him and he had a sore shoulder. he is a #1 sp.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jun 24, 2015 -> 08:17 PM) I wonder how many of those will be thrown onto the field after Eaton makes another dumb ass mistake? The Sox PR department is really reaching on this promotion. that was always a joke to me. pretty much as KW as gm

and if all this is correct, where is the owners on this or both GM.... Hahn and KW.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jun 24, 2015 -> 07:04 PM) Tl;dr. Internet abbreviation for "too long;didn't read." It's like my reaction to a Caufield post. thanks. i didn't know.

can any of this be blamed on the manager. i mean, not to blame RV, just to pile on RV. but is it really his fault.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jun 24, 2015 -> 07:51 PM) That's like tl;Dr version of the entire thread. who is DR?? i am missing something, sorry.

too bad someone couldn't asked about Q trade.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jun 24, 2015 -> 06:03 PM) Not sure they should be limiting themselves to a PG. If Hunter is there and there's a lesser PG available, ya gotta take Hunter. If Wright, Jones, and Grant are gone, I'd rather see E'Twuan Moore be the backup PG over anyone left....I don't necessarily think Moore as the backup PG is a bad thing to begin with though......I really like Wright though. as you and ss2k stated, where the bulls are drafting, i guess you are right. i can hope for a trade.
