C'mon Tim. He pretty much gave you a walk on 3-1.

Luis Martinez is such an enigma as a prospect. Pretty good stuff, yet underwhelming.

Defense looks pretty solid at least.

Had to put Boesch's twitter quote in my sig. And from all accounts, he's not the only one who feels that way.

That ball was just crushed.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 9, 2017 -> 06:06 PM) He's already making bad choices. And I really like Lebron. But he's no MJ. He's from Ohio and is only 22. I doubt he's even seen MJ play (well.. maybe Wizards version). Can't fault the kid for seeing what he knows.

I don't mind us kicking Houston's ass. I can't stand their fan base.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 9, 2017 -> 10:21 AM) Chris Boden‏ @BodenTweets 4h4 hours ago Got asked to turn in my CSN playbook (waived/released). Grateful for 10 yrs there. Hope to find new home & report again for you soon. That's a shame. Dude is fantastic at his job and a hometown guy. He won't be out of a job long.

Jones just had to be that guy eh...

Giants have Bumgarner going tonight who historically owns the Cubs. Here's hoping..

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Aug 8, 2017 -> 10:15 PM) And Saladino has been a -.5 WAR player this year.Cant hurt to play Yolmer more. It's pretty much arguing if you want a giant douche or a turd sandwich.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 8, 2017 -> 09:44 PM) 2 words. Paul. Goldschmidt. Or Daniel. Murphy. Although he kills any Cubs pitcher.

I heard Billy Hamilton made a sick catch tonight too.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 8, 2017 -> 07:41 PM) His numbers have actually gotten better with his promotion. Unreal. That does happen with certain prospects from time to time. Usually it's from high A to AA though.

f*** cancer man...

I wonder how long Dedelow has to destroy rookie ball before the Sox move him up..

Trey M has a 7 game hitting streak now. Gillaspie 2-2 Burger 1-1, BB

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 7, 2017 -> 05:24 PM) Maybe Beer is that guy (although I'm doubtful), but if you take him it better be based on merit and not on his potential signing bonus. Now that, I'm in complete agreement with.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 7, 2017 -> 04:59 PM) So is Beer basically Pat Burrell? That is actually an interesting comp. Beer of course was the first freshman ever to win the ACC player of the year award.

Gotta hope the kid doesn't have an injury prone career.

QUOTE (Quin @ Aug 7, 2017 -> 09:36 AM) Depth. I'm still trying to wrap my head how Fulmer isn't in the top 20, but regarding Polo, I think he's a better prospect than Bummer and Cordell personally (going off Matt's list there).

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Aug 7, 2017 -> 04:23 PM) Blows? That's kind of ridiculous. He's an above average NFL starting QB. Somewhere in that 14-20 range. Eh.. that's more or less average actually. I consider 11-15 above average. I see Cutler more in the 16-20 range. That Javy Vazquez comp is damn good though. Million dollar arm, 10 cent head.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Aug 7, 2017 -> 04:38 PM) I'd much rather roll with a top arm or up the middle prospect like SS or CF if drafting in the top 3 picks. Most solid mlb first baseman should rake already, they are not hard to find. Drafting that high we should be looking for a potential franchise player at a key position. I don't see Beer being that pick, because he offers zero defensive value if the bat is not stellar. That is not what I was arguing and again, the sox aren't valuing defensive accolades like you are. If Beer puts up numbers even better than his freshman year, are you changing your tune? I'm firmly on the Turang train as I've mentioned several times and as fathom said, Kelenic is getting alot of buzz currently. It's going to depend if the sox want a kid ready 4-6 years down the road or one 2-4 years. Hell, noone has even mentioned pitching yet which would be a complete 180 from all of this. I just find it funny considering you were one of the many here wanting Beer months ago (even have an avatar propping him) and now all of a sudden changing your tune.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 7, 2017 -> 04:31 PM) One of those rare nights where it isn't a fun pitching lineup. Yea all eyes should probably be on the Kanny affiliate tonight. Looking forward to see how our guys do against Jay Groome.
