QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 12, 2016 -> 01:36 PM) I wouldn't be surprised if Diaz is in the starting rotation at Winston Salem. They could fast track him out of the bullpen though. Burdi, Diaz, and Ian Hamilton are all guys that could move really quickly. Hostetler has already said we have the luxury now to be patient with these kids and not rush them. A change most of us gladly embrace.

QUOTE (Con te Giolito @ Dec 12, 2016 -> 12:25 PM) So the Dodgers wanted to keep Hill, Jansen and Turner and it looks like they'll do just that. You think they decide to get a little aggressive now that they've accomplished their goals? Maybe jump into the Quintana derby? Just pure speculation by me but bringing back the same team as last year while the Cubs and Nationals get better doesn't seem like a recipe for breaking through and winning the pennant. Eh, I wouldn't say the Cubs got better. But they are still the best team in the NL without question. I agree I wonder if the Dodgers get on the Quintana sweepstakes. They may need to deal a contract, but Quintana of course has a very team friendly deal and will improve their rotation significantly.

Wow.. https://mobile.twitter.com/mortreport/statu...395901056249857 Long overdue Rams. Suddenly their team just got a whole lot better.

Wow.. wonder who the Marlins (and Nationals for that matter) look at now for a closer...

As a baseball fan, I hope he goes to the National League. His bat is just as good as his arm. Well, maybe not as good, but its damn impressive.

QUOTE (Moncada @ Dec 12, 2016 -> 11:42 AM) Reed fills one of the biggest holes in the Sox organization (power). He is Major league ready and should be a must in any deal for Q I like Reed as well. Kid has raked damn near every year in the minors. Would be a fantastic buy low type.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 12, 2016 -> 09:57 AM) Sierra and Sosa are decent prospects, but neither offers any power to speak of Sosa does not walk much, and is not regarded as a plus hitter which gives me concerns about the bat playing at the mlb level Sierra has good speed and a tick above average hit tool, but I'd really like to see our system add some power Yea the sox are quickly going away from that (thank god). Even a guy like Tilson regardless of what he's projected to be, has a solid contact rate throughout his minor league career.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Dec 12, 2016 -> 02:12 AM) Don't forget we still have Jace Fry. Eh.. he's a long shot now with his second TJS unfortunately.

Team is getting killed with injuries. Gronk, Green and now Forte and Rodgers. My team is literally limping to the playoffs.

I wonder if people here would prefer Dahl in a deal or Rodgers. I actually like Dahl especially with the lack of legit OF prospects in oir system. Not sure if Colorado would deal him though.

Absolutely huge win by the Jets. Bears are firmly in the #4 spot now. There's no way they are catching the Browns and 49ers. Jaguars being so terrible is bad though. Can't believe they are as bad as they are.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 11, 2016 -> 03:58 PM) I, for one, don't particularly love Tapia. I would much prefer McMahon or even Wall over Tapia. Yikes.

Thank you Josh Bellamy.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Dec 10, 2016 -> 11:37 PM) Hahn sure does know how to nail interviews. Can listen to him all day. Just fantastic.

QUOTE (beautox @ Dec 10, 2016 -> 04:43 PM) I like the alleged Pirates offer but that seems steep even after seeing what Sale and Eaton got, i could see one of Glasnow or Meadows + Bell or Newman + Mitch Keller. Either package and I would be happy. Yes please. Big fan of Meadows, much moreso than Bell and I really like Newman. Don't know about Keller much, but his peripherals in the minors look damn good.

Forrest Whitley is another interesting prospect the Stros have. 1st round high school pick in 2016. He's risky as a young pitcher, but he's got enormous upside. I still want the sox to acquire young position prospects in a Quintana deal however. Doesn't have to be ALL position prospects, but 2-3 would be ideal.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 9, 2016 -> 11:01 AM) Seattle does not have the prospects for a Q deal. I liked Lewis in the draft, but he took a big injury during the season and who knows how the recovery will go? Torn ACL. He should be just fine for this coming year. He's ahead of schedule in his rehab. (Must feel good to be young and heal quick)

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 9, 2016 -> 10:33 AM) It is going to take more than Tucker to land Quintana. Yea I put Tucker + in my post so I don't know where you were getting at there. As iamshack said, they are lukewarm in including Martes as well.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 9, 2016 -> 10:39 AM) So did I. Wanted him with the pick we used on Jace Fry I believe. A few of us did. I think Dirty was the first one on that bandwagon at the time.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 10:44 PM) f*** them. They're also showing a reluctance to move Martes. They already cost themselves Sale by not including Bregman. Now they might possibly cost themselves Quintana by not including Tucker +. If I was an Astros fan, I would be pissed at my GM.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 10:48 AM) Fedde. Still got your boy Robles too, but that's probably unrealistic.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 09:35 AM) I hate to sound like Caulfield but Seth Beer would be Brooks Boyer's wet dream. He would have no problem coming up stuff for him. His jersey sells alone would be incredible here if he pans out.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 09:34 AM) For the outfield, I think you need to get rid of Avi. But I have no problem with guys like Tilson, Coats and Liriano getting playing time (along with Melky of course if he's still here, which he shouldn't be). That's three guys who can play competent defense That's what I want to see. Help out this pitching staff this season the young guys and the vets. Hell, I'll throw out Carlos Sanchez' name too. Sure he might hit .200, but he is excellent defensively at 2B. Get a catcher who is at least average back there and a solid pitch framer, outfielders who aren't Avi bad out there, etc.
