QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 09:50 PM) What exactly were you expecting? I personally was hoping for a Yrizarri type prospect. A young, lower A ball guy who scouts like the tools, but might have a tool he's lacking or hasn't developed over the others (in his case, plate discipline). Always good to get those lotto guys who if they hit, can reach a top 100 prospect list, change a FO conviction about a player down the line, etc.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 08:51 PM) Meh. Sums up my thoughts on it too.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 08:19 PM) I don't love this move, but as I said earlier, I'm perfectly fine with it. Seems like you, myself, shack, etc have been agreeing alot on these last two trades.

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 06:29 PM) initial reaction is yuck. Would rather some 19 year old in low A. Completely agree. Hahn's last 2 trades are kinda meh for me. But I still like what he's doing.

Yes. Next question.

New York is apparently in on the tank for us.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 04:10 PM) Rodon is the first pitcher in MLB history with 11 strikeouts in a start of 4 IP or less Pretty cool stat.

I'm honestly shocked Ricky didn't have him bunt.

f*** outta here you POS.

Nice Engel.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 03:16 PM) TA benched.nice job RR. LOVE him doing that. One of the reasons I like Ricky even with all the negatives.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 03:14 PM) that's well handled by beck and by barskdale. Very underrated post regarding the ump. That's a veteran ump who knew what was going on. A young ump probably puts the warning on alot sooner.

Nice Beck.

You swing at the first pitch... f*** off TA.

Why are you hitting our prized young prospect you POS?

Wow... Abreu stealing a base!

Lackey hits Abreu twice. And he's clearly pissed.

Wow.. 11 strikeouts!

Here comes Contreras who looks like Mike Trout against Rodon.

Kris Bryant looks overmatched against Rodon

I wonder if Ricky knows Moncada can actually steal bases too.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 01:30 PM) It is 5 sandwiches! However, there is a loophole. Joe stated that he must have at least 550 plate appearances. He is clearly playing hurt too. And Hawk just said he doesn't get bothered by the losing this year. I wonder if this knocks Greg and Elrockin down a few pegs.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 11:03 AM) And that speed and power combo at the top of the lineup can be FUN if the two of them can actually reach their potential. Other than legging out XBH, they probably won't steal at all under Ricky. Anderson only has 7 SBs on the season!

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 09:10 AM) Converting players like Swarzak into prospect(s) is going to be key to the rebuild. I'd look to land a young middle infield prospect with upside. I'd prefer a couple of young left handers with upside since we're still lacking in the system there, but in either case, definitely a couple of lotto young players.

RBI single for Skoug.
