Maybe we are trading Guerrero and Polo for slot money.

Once Pudge Rodriguez and Piazza got in, then there should be all bets are off to me.

QUOTE (WestSuburbanSox @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 10:34 PM) I’d like to see us pick up Nestor Cortes in the Rule 5. He might fail at the highest level but he has defied expectations consistently and he works quickly. Very good post and no kidding. His numbers are very good, plus he's left handed and only 22. Would love the move but I doubt he falls to us.

You don't say...

QUOTE (Tony @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 10:11 PM) That's where I really don't like the Rule V draft. No one can convince me that putting a kid like Basabe on an ML roster, giving up 80-100 ABs in 2018 is good for his development. But the team doesn't have any other choice. Completely agree. San Diego for example might of scared off some clubs including ours with what they did last year. It use to not be like this.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 10:02 PM) This is fair, but if you are going to excuse his performance because he was young in A+, I struggle to see a great argument for why he will hold his own in MLB next season. It's not about holding his own. The guy can pinch run, play defense and get the occasional at bat. Nieto wasn't that great when we had him out of A ball and we sheltered him enough to keep him and that was when he was 24-25. This kid is only 21. A club can stash him, give him the big league expierence, 80-100 ABs and still put him in the low minors next year where he will still be age appropriate.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 09:52 PM) He has defensive versatility and speed, so yeah I do think he was a candidate to be stashed as a 5th OF on a rebuilding team. Not to mention is a pretty good prospect who wasn't even age appropriate in A+. Yea, there's GMs who would definitely take a flier. You don't need to be Eloy Jimenez elite.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 05:18 PM) So am I the only one to question why in the world Basabe needs to be protected, other than the front office protecting their own assets there? He was awful in A ball. He was 20. Good lord.

Very nice Row.

QUOTE (GenericUserName @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 12:53 AM) Hopefully Jake Burger is at Winston-Salem for a while. Some time with Viquel could probably take away any questions of whether he will be able to stay at third as long as he stays in shape. That and hopefully some defensive tips with the glove. Viquel will help alot of our prospects in that regard.

Wow... HUGE news if true.

Kyle Fuller just destroyed Leonard Floyd's knee.

Figures Trubisky runs well the first half then Loggins just forgets about him.

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Nov 19, 2017 -> 01:08 PM) Now all of the sudden the defense looks like crap. Who got injured other than Trevathan? Does he really matter that much? He is the one who calls the plays for the defense. Now it's.. Christian Jones. Jim Bob Cooter putting on a show though. Pace better be paying attention today.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Nov 18, 2017 -> 03:22 PM) https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2017/07/nate...er-surgery.html I don't think he'll be the same guy, and putting him as a SU is not ideal either.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Nov 18, 2017 -> 09:07 AM) SU: Jones ($0.6M) Nate Jones? Uh...

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 16, 2017 -> 04:06 PM) John Fox isn't gonna tell you. Imagine how much worse his Bears record would be if he didn't hide injuries so well from opponents. And the media https://twitter.com/AdamHoge/status/931273631350575104 ..Wow... just wow. No words.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Nov 16, 2017 -> 01:21 PM) Loooooooove this move. This dude had electric stuff in the Futures Game, I had no clue who he was prior to that and came away impressed. This is exactly the type of move that Rick should be making. Even if you improve his control just a bit, he is instantly a high leverage reliever at the major league level. I can think of no better coaching staff to try and harness his abilities. In a couple years, we will look back fondly on this trade. Competely agree.

C'mon Q, really?

Yikes at this thread.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Nov 10, 2017 -> 03:15 PM) Can you imagine if LAA had the money for that? 2. Trout 3. Pujols 4. Hamilton That would be something. (2013-14)

QUOTE (Soha @ Nov 9, 2017 -> 01:26 PM) Uggh, can't stand DiCaro. She was trashing Patrick Kane a few years ago, and it turned out he was framed. Did she ever apologize to him? No she didn't and she still thinks he did it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 7, 2017 -> 12:52 PM) Tony Donohue‏Verified account @TonyD1070 2h2 hours ago The #Colts are at a crossroad. Im told it is very possible Andrew never plays again. The team is looking at a top 7 pick in the draft.. Look out for Heads on suicide watch...

Notre Dame gets a game before G-Rate field.. AND there's ALOT of people in Chicago that hate Notre Dame with a passion so I wonder how this will be received.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 7, 2017 -> 11:36 AM) We'll just have to settle for our 30/30 guy being at 2b. Ricky is gonna let Moncada run to steal 30+?
