QUOTE (GenericUserName @ Feb 28, 2018 -> 11:17 PM) I didn't want to read too much into it because he might just be throwing a little harder knowing he only has two innings that day. Let's hope as a poster pointed out a couple of months ago that his muscle memory is back with his delivery and now we'll see him throw it like he was just a couple of years ago. Funny thing is, there's an article now about it. Giolito showcases increased velocity in debut.

QUOTE (Lillian @ Mar 1, 2018 -> 04:50 AM) I'm sorry, but I don't get the joke. What is the association between being obsessed with left handed hitters and being a female? I'm not offended, just confused. There is no association. Two different clicks. People here know you as the poster who loves lefties (regardless of gender).

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Feb 28, 2018 -> 07:12 PM) Eric Longenhagen @longenhagen 26m26 minutes ago Matthew Liberatore was up to 97 with a 6 curveball today. It was his first start. Kiley McDaniel @kileymcd More Kiley McDaniel Retweeted Eric Longenhagen Arizona prep lefty making a move into the top 5 picks He's my pick in this draft as you know Dirty. 0 injury history either and a nice mix of pitches, plus a lefty and high schooler which is what we need for the farm in the second wave. My guy.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Feb 28, 2018 -> 07:26 PM) LMAO. Lillian is a lady. In all fairness to Greg, alot of posters didn't know that at first. Hell, some still don't (other than the obsessive-ness of lefty hitters..).

QUOTE (cjgalloway @ Feb 28, 2018 -> 05:08 PM) I Love Cease. I've been saying for the past year (yes before he was even with us) that he is going to make a Kopech like jump in prospect rankings. Hope I'm right! Get in line. I've been said he's my favorite pitching prospect in the org right now.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 27, 2018 -> 10:15 PM) Also interesting to see Beer with a mediocre average again. It's still very early, but his hit tool just seems to be very blah Let's hope he continues to drop. Would love to see us snag him with our second round pick (though that's probably slim)

QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 27, 2018 -> 11:46 AM) He’s already talked about focusing on his nutrition. Hopefully this all turns out fine. Maybe winter ball, and then 130 games at Birmingham next year. This may not be the end of the world for him or the Sox at all. He's going to really have to rake in winter ball to have him skip high A. I really hope that's the case, but any prospect losing a year of development is never good (not the end of the world of course, but it's better when your younger).

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Feb 27, 2018 -> 09:21 AM) Teddy Cahill @tedcahill Updating Travis Swaggerty's line through eight games: .321/.537/.714, three homers, 11 walks, five strikeouts. That's a 1.251 OPS Carlos Collazo @CarlosACollazo Swaggerty's draft stock: ??? Ok Dirty, ok... I've got an eye on him now.

For those wondering to not even bother clicking on a Bleacher Report link (even I was 50/50 on it before I gave in), Kyle Schwarber was #1 on the list.

Grizzlies play the Suns this week. So that helps.. (positive Suns will win that one though. Grizzlies truly are terrible)

Pretty powerful article about sox prospect Mikey Duarte who lost his sister in that Vegas shooting. No idea he nearly died himself in our affiliate (athletic rarely opens articles to the public, so this is a special occurrence here for all to read) https://theathletic.com/254267/2018/02/26/w...vegas-shooting/

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 26, 2018 -> 04:33 PM) Ryan Howard said it sapped his power on his plant foot. Does that sound real? A lot of my concerns after reading the article was on weight distribution on the feet after the recovery. Howard tore his left, not right. And he's a lefty. I think Caulfield is right about luckily it's Burger's left ankle and not his right.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 26, 2018 -> 01:14 PM) a 1st round pick is great for Hartman, but the problem is young, cost-controlled talent is vital for the Hawks and now they have to find someone as good as him, which hasn't been the easier for Bowman. He was a RFA next season. I get the young part, but he might of been asking for too much (or was a bit of an issue in the locker room). Can't go wrong with a deal like this though. And we should all hope Boston wins the 1st round now.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Feb 26, 2018 -> 03:44 PM) Different circumstances, different injury, but all I can think about is Jared Mitchell. Luckily for him, he doesn't rely on speed and athleticism like Mitchell did. He'll come back from this, but might need to move to 1B lpng term. We'll see.

He's done.

Not a good start to the year with our prospects.

Paul Stastny to the Jets. Deadline getting some steam now.

https://mobile.twitter.com/TheFourthPeriod/...171218200354817 Wow... Nice deal for the Hawks.

Hartman not on the ice for practice. Only Hawks player not on the ice. NHL Network just reported he's gone to Nashville. Waiting on what we got back.

NHL trade deadline is today (2 pm deadline). So far, Hawks and Preds are rumored to be talking. https://mobile.twitter.com/DaveyUpper/statu...5590784/photo/1 https://mobile.twitter.com/FriedgeHNIC/stat...162426590932992 Hartman?

Eloy. Not a doubt in my mind.

Rick Nash to the Bruins.

Good call from the poster who mentioned Hiura for having the same injury.

Wasn't Harper the guy who blasted sox management on Twitter over the LaRoche (ex teammate/friend) situation? Yea, probably a good reason why he's not talked about around here. And I don't think the "money talks" will apply to Bryce either. He'll get his.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Feb 23, 2018 -> 07:52 AM) That's pretty brutal for Honeywell, he was definitely gonna be up with the Rays this year. Joel Sherman‏Verified account @Joelsherman1 Brent Honeywell has been diagnosed with a torn UCL and Tommy John surgery recommended. #Rays Ugh.. that is just awful. Top pitching prospect in the game too. Not sure if Reyes was before he tore his UCL, but second straight year a top pitching prospect goes down.
