QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ May 26, 2017 -> 09:21 AM) Wow do you play in a league with morons? Seems that way with every league he's in. probably plays with his friends who aren't too bright in sports leagues.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 26, 2017 -> 08:59 AM) I'm still high on him. Only reason he's in Kanny is because of Collins - once Collins goes up, so will Zavala. I think there's a high probability that Zavala plays in the majors as at least a backup. Has turned into a pretty decent defensive catcher, to go along with an offensive package that will play. I like him as well. He's not as good as Collins obviously, but I love his defensive abilities. Very underrated in our system.

Crosby 2-0 touching Prince of Wales trophy. Pens in 7. In all honesty, I'm rooting for Nashville, but I think those Johansen and Fisher injuries are gonna do them in facing Sid and Geno. Gotta hope Pekka plays out of his mind.

Figures the guy who Pens fans rag on the most wins it for them.

Anderson is playing out of his mind. Win or lose, he's been fantastic.

Zavala must like those game winning situations. Game winning hit a couple days ago. He just put Kanny up 1 with a homer in the top of the 10th.

OT: If that Michael Rucker kid was in our system, he's probably be in AAA by now. Ridiculous numbers he's putting up for his career.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ May 25, 2017 -> 08:35 PM) Shame there's no room in WS for Booker. Dude deserves to be moved up. A few of those Kanny guys could be promoted. I'm good with them getting a first half playoff berth though.

Basabe 2-4. His average has steadily climbed up.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 25, 2017 -> 07:50 PM) Counter-Counter point. The Red Sox weren't offering Moncada for Sale at the deadline, and did in the off season. Was Sale even available at the deadline? I thought JR didn't want him gone until the offseason. I know Quintana was discussed.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 25, 2017 -> 07:25 PM) Struggling tonight, wonder if he's working on his sinker again He's settling down now after the rough first two innings. That's how elite of a prospect Kopech is. His struggles are usually decent outings for maybe B type prospects. He might end up with a solid line despite this not being a good game for him.

Kopech time now.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 25, 2017 -> 01:14 PM) Yes. Name cereals....Caulfield: Captain Crunch, Cocoa Puffs, Rice Krispies, Fruity Pepples, pepples reminds me of the Flintstones, which brings me to the question do you know the difference between people in Dubai and people in Abu Dhabi? People in Dubai don't like the Flintstones. People in Abu Dhabi do. DA, this might be one of the best posts in ST history. Well done.

Let's hope he found something, his confidence sky rockets and he starts pitching like a stud from here on out.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 25, 2017 -> 06:42 PM) 0 innings and 8 ER for Martinez He left with 6. Valerio gave up 2 more... and then 3 for himself. Giolito - 7 IP 0 H 0 R 0 ER 3 BB 3 SO 7 inning no hitter!

Wow.. W-S is getting lit the f*** up. 11 runs in the 1st inning given up!!

QUOTE (fathom @ May 25, 2017 -> 06:30 PM) Martinez is having an the opposite start of Giolito Eloy Jimenez took him deep for a granny. First start in high A and he struggled juuuuuust a tad. Collins and Basabe were switched in the order. Both 1-1 so far. OT: but Kanny lit up Braxton Garrett.

QUOTE (turnin' two @ May 25, 2017 -> 06:08 PM) Just give me outs. I will worry about the manner in which they arrive when Gio is putting more good starts together. ^^^^^ This. He needs to start putting up zeros (or 1 run) then put it all together. As far as tonight, I won't get excited yet until after the 6th and he's still doing this.

Timmy is probably happy to see that. Danish is one of his best friends in the system.

2-2 now for Delmonico. Giolito so far - 4 IP 0 H 0 R 0 ER 1 BB 1 SO.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 25, 2017 -> 05:31 PM) I hope he can play a position with passable defense because his bat is going to play in the big leagues. No idea why the sox just don't put him in LF and leave him there. Unless his range at 3B is so good and he just makes bone headed errors (ala Jose Valentin). From all reports though, he's a butcher over there.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 25, 2017 -> 04:24 PM) So it's a bullpen day. Yea Giolito might need to bite the bullet tonight if he struggles. Think Grudz has him go 6-7 no matter what.

Bears sign Victor Cruz to a one year deal.

His slider is impressive, but he doesn't have overpowering velocity or stuff. I think he would be a very good comp pick, not sure about top 15. But then again, this is only the 2nd game I've ever seen him pitch.
