Ian Happ has to be in any deal involving Quintana.

Willy has had some bad luck with strikeouts lately. Should've had a walk the other night but was called a strike.

Alright Pelfrey. Just give me 5 solid innings since you completely suck after that. That's all I ask.

The players watching Titanic before the game has really paid off apparently.

QUOTE (SouthSide2004 @ May 20, 2017 -> 04:50 PM) On the field, I'd say a B so far. But overall he gets an A for his Robert recruiting efforts. Exactly my assessments.

Avisail f***ing Garcia ladies and gentleman!

QUOTE (DirtySox @ May 20, 2017 -> 08:38 PM) Evidently Rick is asking for Robles in return. https://www.fanragsports.com/mlb/nationals/...-nationals/amp/ Ricky aiming high. Might as well.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 20, 2017 -> 08:25 PM) s***, J4L is on the Robert bandwagon? We are all Knickerf***ed He's been on the Robert/rebuild trade for quite some time. This might be the most excited I've seen him as a sox fan since the Danks blackout game.

QUOTE (Real @ May 20, 2017 -> 08:16 PM) how long do we control Robert? *insert Sandlot forever gif*

Looks like no Jordan Guerrero tonight. And those Brewers prospects in High A are fun to follow. Hope the sox have that kind of talent in one affiliate to follow soon (we are heading in the right direction).

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ May 20, 2017 -> 07:21 PM) This has to be frustrating as hell for Cardinal fans. This is the second time in over a year they outbid the competition and still lost out. I'd feel sorry for them, if Robert had signed elsewhere but since he signed with the Sox... f*** them birds. A Cubs buddy of mine put it best. "You know I dislike the Sox, but I'll gladly accept you guys getting a guy over the Cards, especially a hyped prospect."

Cody Asche went deep.. the banner is working!!

He only has 4 less hits than last season in the same number of at bats.. almost identical numbers as I pointed out in the game thread yesterday. He'll be fine.

We shook the world right son?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 20, 2017 -> 06:18 PM) It better be Robert, Moncada and Abreu...protect Anderson, Rodon and Q from jinxes. You wanna protect the latter 3 from jinxes yet put our 2 most promising prospects and our second best hitter after Avi in the full jinx mode?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 20, 2017 -> 05:32 PM) Seems 50/50 between DSL (tax reasons) and Kanny. I could see Great Falls (or Bristol) since their season hasn't started yet

This kid better start in Kanny and maybe stay there alittle longer than the Red Sox did with Moncada in low A who had the higher hit tool coming out. No need to rush him to high A. All we need is Beer and Hahn's kid will get his OTTP wish. I wonder who he picked for the '17 draft.. (Haseley?)

This is just fantastic news to wake up to. That Hayes report is typical JR and I'm betting it was the Cardinals that outbid us, but it looks like the kid wants to be here.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 20, 2017 -> 06:14 AM) If you guys want to get angry read this http://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/white-s...-jose-quintana/ I can at least buy the AL scout's opinion of him, but the NL scout's interpretation of him is f***ing ridiculous.

Collins has nearly the same identical numbers as last year in W-S. '16: 120 AB's 31 H 24 R 7 XBH 6 HR's 18 RBI's 33 BB 39 SO (.258/.418/.467/.885) '17: 120 AB's 27 H 23 R 6 XBH 6 HR's 20 RBI's 33 BB 37 SO (.225/.395/.433/.828)

Quintana was just fantastic.

Atta boy David.

Robertson staying in... here we go.
