QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2017 -> 10:09 PM) Last batter here hopefully Hopefully a double play then. 6 looks better than 5.2

10 strikeouts for Quintana.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 8, 2017 -> 09:49 PM) Didn't he simply slide off the bag? He did. And Engel is a stud defensively.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 8, 2017 -> 09:44 PM) I'm with you, I'm a huge Willy fan. I think he deserves more playing time once we trade Frazier & Melky. The only problem is we'll actually have a positional logjam. Once Moncada claims 2B, we'll have Leury, Engel, Willy, Delmonico, Davidson, & Sanchez to cover CF, LF, 3B, & DH. I worried that Willy may be the odd man out. I'm in the trade Avi camp since his value is incredibly high compared to last season. But if this season isn't a fluke, then it's a good problem to have.

What's up with Yolmer's baseball I.Q. lately? Dude is playing like De Aza out there recently.

Frazier continues to get on base.

I might be Willy's biggest fan on this site. Has power (although that hasn't translated), decent speed, by far our best defensive RF and has been taking his walks. He might not amount to much, but I wanna see what he can do with more PT. His defense alone is probably gonna put his WAR up there.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 8, 2017 -> 09:00 PM) Would love to look up in 4 innings and see him have 7 IP with just the 2 ER. With 10+ K's on top of it.

6 SO for Quintana.

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Jul 8, 2017 -> 08:48 PM) If Giolito can give the Sox Gavin Floyd's 2008-2012 production I'd sign up for that in a heartbeat. I mentioned that a couple of weeks ago. Prime Floyd was a damn good pitcher.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 8, 2017 -> 08:35 PM) Lots of people give up home runs to Arenado Yea he's a stud. That would've been gone in any park.

Giolito complete game shutout! 7 IP 2 H 0 R 0 ER 2 BB 10 SO

Charlie Blackmon stole Gordon Beckham's walk up song and there's people who think he was the first one with that song.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 8, 2017 -> 07:56 PM) Lol @ Yolmer batting 5th. I get we don't have a lot of options, but I'd probably roll the dice with Willy in that spot. ... you were saying?

Jose Abreu is tied for second on our team with 3 triples.. Baseball is dumb sometimes.

QUOTE (Quin @ Jul 8, 2017 -> 01:52 PM) Well, you've got Beer's bat. His glove however... Well, he'd fit in with our new OBP, but s*** defense philosophy.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 7, 2017 -> 10:01 AM) Not digging the moves Boston is making. It's like they could've had Cleveland by the balls, especially with their 13245 picks, and yet they completely f***ed it up.

QUOTE (KnightsOnMintSt @ Jul 7, 2017 -> 09:13 AM) I feel like Brinson would all but be off the table. Brewers get: Jose Quintana White Sox get: Corey Ray, Brett Phillips, Trent Clark and Monte Harrison. Yes please.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 6, 2017 -> 08:36 PM) Kinda a ho hum night except for Adolfo Adams was very good.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 6, 2017 -> 03:05 PM) Ynoa has been stinking the joint up and is out of options. His velocity is down as well. He probably won't be claimed, and will be with the Knights shortly. Rizzo is desperate these days...

Outstanding piece Matt, outstanding. Some of FS best work right there.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 5, 2017 -> 10:43 PM) That Mark Buehrle guy says otherwise He was never a top 100 guy which was caulfield's point. Mark was unbelievable but guys like him and his career are the exception, not the norm. That being said, I've always liked Guerrero. Kid has come a long way.

QUOTE (beautox @ Jul 5, 2017 -> 09:59 PM) If we get a 4/5 out of him that would be huge but I could see being another typical sox pitching prospect that flys under the radar and over preforms. But if at the end of the day he becomes Jaime Garcia, I don't think anyone here is going to complain. He doesn't have quite the stuff as our top guys (although his curve is amazing) but I really like his chances. I know me and Dan liked him alot when he was drafted (hell I chose him twice as a true sleeper prospect a few and a couple years ago when he wasn't even on a top 5-10 list and that was with a weak system). I'll gladly take a poor man's Gio or a dynamite bullpen guy if starting fails him.

Hope Ricky is taking notes. No excuse why this team doesn't steal enough with the speed on this club and counting.

Looks like Benintendi has figured it out. That's why I laugh when people jump the gun with slow starts, especially to young players.
