QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 10:31 AM) Keller is way more valuable than Newman, IMO It's not even close as far as I'm concerned.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 10:13 AM) Rutherford and Keller are the most exciting pieces of the names mentioned IMO. I might like Keller as much as Glasnow. Absolutely. Love Rutherford and a buddy of mine (ex scout) loves Keller. I'm not a fan at all of Diaz and Andujar is meh, but Glasnow and the other 3 are too good to pass up.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 08:28 AM) Braves just a real smart extension on inciarte at 5 years 30 mill with option for sixth Yea Sherman credited Hahn/Sox for seeing what that's like with the value of Eaton. https://mobile.twitter.com/Joelsherman1/sta...306118399631360

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 03:23 AM) Who is up with me? Who has the higher ceiling, Glasnow or Gioloto? Giolito. Not close. Very few have the upside he has. Now, who might be the better pro is another question.

QUOTE (peavy44 @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 01:50 AM) I doubt any trade will go down its 2am rick hahn is sleeping. I'll agree as far as a trade. Rick is good at this hour with FA signings, not trades.

Meadows and Keller fit with what the sox have been doing this winter. Top prospects in BA who are about 23 and younger. I'm just glad Meadows recovered from that gruesome eye injury. Big fan of his. His arm isn't that great, power is meh (although in our park can certainly help there) but that kid is an incredible player with instincts. Too bad they gave up Reese Mcguire though.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Dec 20, 2016 -> 09:47 PM) .315/.330/.470 20 bombs, 20 steals, 100 runs I'm with this guy, except more steals and maybe a tad less homers. Thinking around 15 and 30 respectively.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 20, 2016 -> 12:05 PM) I don't think I've underrated at all. I think he is a TOR pitcher and is more consistent than most in the league. almost every team would love to have him. In fact, if i were the Sox FO, I would have traded Sale before Q as well. But that's because Sale is better and would bring more on the open market. Quintana would bring a very good prospect package in any trade. I think I agreed in another post that he is a top 10 pitcher in the AL which I do think so. My only point is that he just isn't as good as Sale and wouldn't bring back as much in a trade. Now we're on the same page. I have been on record here saying I like Rutherford better anyways than Frazier so I'm good with him in a deal. But, Torres is a must for any Q deal I make with the Yankees. The other pieces can be lesser fine, but that kid better be in it.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 20, 2016 -> 11:53 AM) He just won't bring back the prospects that Sale did. there is a reason that Boston wanted Sale not Quintana in the deal. They tried to acquire Q at the deadline last year from all reports. You've underrated Quintana alot in this thread though, so its not surprising with your posts.

Wow... I wonder what kind of prospects the Red Sox got back. Buchholz is expensive. EDIT: low level prospect.

QUOTE (TRU @ Dec 20, 2016 -> 08:24 AM) A Team Has No Name - 7 - 6 Lost to my wife in the first round of the playoffs I knew you were soft.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 20, 2016 -> 09:38 AM) Hahn is not an idiot The only true gems in the Yankee system are Frazier and Torres. Everything else looks pretty overrated to me. Nah Rutherford is pretty damn good. Like raBBit said earlier in this thread, he was actually talked about as a top 3 prospect heading into the draft. Good patience at the plate, (sox are going toward this more) solid contact, good defensively, etc. We'll see what happens with this kid, but keep an eye on Nick Solak as well. Yankee scouts were high on him in the draft as well. And Greg Bird WAS looking very good as a prospect until his shoulder injury. He's up in the air now.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 20, 2016 -> 08:44 AM) If he's serious about acquiring him, then Torres + Frazier starts the conversation. Sox should not settle for anything less Judge and Mateo's stock are both down, and Rutherford is minimum 3+ seasons away from the majors That's putting it midly. That's like Yankee fans trading say.. Tanaka (minus the contract and injury history of course) to us and wanting Davidson + back. Neither guy is in any deal for Q for me, especially Judge who will be 25 when the season starts and makes Jermaine Dye look good in RF.

Gano's last FG just knocked me out of the playoffs. f***!

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 08:59 PM) Not being in AAA/MLB keeps him from getting to that status, but he'll definitely be there soon. That being said, that's why I assume he'd be available. A year from now and he'll be like the Bregmans, Benintendis, etc. That's why I said damn near. Hell, he's already top 10-15 on alot of lists. Let's just say Theo wasn't too thrilled they gave him up.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 04:17 PM) Benintendi, Swanson and Bregman are all better prospects than Torres is right now He's damn near there already. Kid is legit man. Scouts are very high on him. Legit tools all around.

I wonder how Greg Bird's shoulder is doing. He would be an interesting buy low guy to target if Yanks like Austin/Ford enough.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 01:24 PM) The Morosi report seems like a White Sox leak. Could be. Cashman is pretty good friends with Hahn (and KW for that matter).

QUOTE (Con te Giolito @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 01:07 PM) If they get Robles for Robertson something is wrong with Rizzo. Fixed.

QUOTE (knightni @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 12:55 PM) Judge is like Gallo. Very undisciplined and a poor batting eye. I'm not sure if that's more insulting to Gallo or Judge. Not seeing the comparison there.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 12:01 PM) If the Yankees said they'd part with Frazier or Torres for Q, which one would you prefer? And why? Torres. No question. Much better prospect. Kid is gonna be a top 5 prospect in all of baseball soon.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 11:53 AM) I dont' think it has to include Frazier. I could definitely make a package without him. I actually prefer Rutherford (right there with you raBBit). I would love to see Indians fans freak out if we got Frazier and he pans out though.

Would love to get Torres. Kid lit it up in the AFL and there are Cubs fans who still hate they gave him up (including an ex scout I talked to) would be pretty cool to have him and former Indians farmhand Frazier in our system.

JOOOOOOOOEEEEEE CREEEEEEEDEEEEEEE!!

Well, Zeke kicked my ass but I'm up 2 points with my kicker (Hopkins) against his (Gano) tomorrow night.... should be a fun and never racking finish.
