QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Mar 20, 2017 -> 03:11 PM) A near .800 OPS in high A from a 19 year old SS prospect is pedestrian?? I agree he's probably a bit overrated due to his AFL stint, but let's not sell his A ball numbers short. The kid is an incredible prospect and worthy of top 10/20 status. The guy absolutely figured it out in the AFL. He was pretty highly thought of already before the stint. The Cubs scout I'm familiar with who saw him down there said "thank god we won the world series" cause he was not happy Theo let him go. People are forgetting his glove too. Kid is legit.

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Mar 20, 2017 -> 05:04 PM) And there is a 0% chance the Sox could have acquired Lopez, Giolitto, and Dane Dunning for Eaton if he wasn't signed to such a team friendly contract. Yep. And let's just say shot in the dark sox get a young SS they like (Gleyber Torres for example) and view him as the SS of the future cause of better upside. Sox can deal Tim if they feel they can get an Eaton type deal in the future or if they're weak at a premium position of need to make a playoff run. It's a win-win. Tim has a baby girl now too. I'm sure he wants to have his family set right now.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Mar 19, 2017 -> 09:41 PM) He was definitely offsides, but you take what is given to you Makeup call from that Parise goal against us.

I thought Moncada was a bust after X amount of PAs in spring training....

QUOTE (ptatc @ Mar 17, 2017 -> 07:49 AM) Remember the question was "will the Sox lose 100 games in 2018." If those three can't do that, the Sox have no hope beyond 2018 either. It wasn't a question, but we're on the same page regardless.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Mar 16, 2017 -> 08:36 PM) If they lose 100 games in 2018 they will have have 2 awful trades with Sale and Eaton. You actually think guys like Basabe, Diaz will be ready by that point? Hell, even Kopech might be a stretch. (although I can see him midseason possibly. He'd have to really go off this year to start bt 2018 and the sox have already said they're not rushing guys)

Would love the Braves to swoop in and get him. To me, they have the best farm system in the MLB and they preach fundamentals top to bottom. First class org.

A small part of my childhood will be gone. He's declined over the years, but I'll still miss ya big guy.

So Lance Briggs apparently is battling CTE.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Mar 14, 2017 -> 01:24 PM) Smart me by Holland. Sign with a team that has a good pitching coach and training staff to get things back on track. If all goes well, he could find himself pitching for a contender in July. And get a big payday on his next contract.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 14, 2017 -> 11:01 AM) I think he will make a career out of being a fringe starter and utility player. While that has value, we aren't talking about anything with REAL value. Completely agree. Hell, that's his ceiling. Nothing wrong with that though.

Cordarrelle Patterson to the Raiders.

QUOTE (striker @ Mar 13, 2017 -> 09:12 PM) I think the Rockies could beat any Yankees offer with Rodgers, Pint, Tapia. Which I'd take over Frazier, Rutherford, + So can the Braves (whose system I personally like the most), but its probably not happening.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Mar 13, 2017 -> 07:35 PM) But it really doesn't matter anyway. Put a giraffe in center for all I care for the next few years. Adam Engel fan huh?

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 12, 2017 -> 11:05 PM) He tries to be too patient at the plate and ends up only getting a swing or two every at bat to put the ball in play. I'm hopeful it will improve but this spring has definitely shown his two main warts (k and fielding) Never thought I would hear that as a bad thing for a young prospect.

Sox on a hit parade right now.

Staal after the game was over yelled at the Hawks bench "We'll be seeing you guys again and whip your asses then."

Tilson back in a walking boot.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 12, 2017 -> 02:16 PM) Kopech has unbelievable stuff He is really fun to watch. Hopefully he and Giolito are taking notes of each other.

mobile.twitter.com/ChrisKuc/status/840982425899585536?ref_src= Hawks sign prospect John Hayden.

Bears sign Kendall Wright, WR. 1 year, 4 million.

Modelos alone makes this one of the best moves the sox have made other than rebuilding.

Keeping Q? Trading 21 year old future closers? Bizarro thread.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Mar 9, 2017 -> 12:06 PM) That's a really good idea. He didn't have a great season last year but he's only 21 and I'm sure his speed would play quite well in CF. Reminds me of what people use to say about Ruddy Yan (my old FutureSox heads might remember who that is)
