QUOTE (ptatc @ Feb 23, 2017 -> 07:47 AM) Isn't that a good thing in a season where they are rebuilding? edit: As long as it's not one of the young rebuilding pieces that is. Bingo.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Feb 22, 2017 -> 12:31 AM) Like both equally Kalaspe but I would go with Q for the time being so he can be honored for the rest of his days as a White Sox pitcher. IMHO, Q has earned it. Once Q is traded we can switch to the Anderson, Rodon, Moncada banner. Again, great work. Actually, I'm with you on that one. If it ain't too much trouble of course.

#2 For me Kal.

Toews was possessed.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 21, 2017 -> 11:10 AM) To be clear, they didn't want to include Devers after including Moncada AND Kopech. I am sure if the Sox had asked for him as a headliner for Sale, they would have had him. Obviously. But yea, Moncada was their top prospect. They didn't wanna give the sox another infielder (3B at that) to completely gut their options in the future.

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Feb 21, 2017 -> 10:53 AM) Nick Confardo of the Boston Globe mentioned that the Red Sox would be a good landing spot for Frazier. I'm not sure Rafael Devers would be what the Sox are looking for, since they have Zack Collins who might project better and the Sox could also potentially be in play for Severino from the Nationals. They didn't want to include him for Chris Sale and he's a 3rd baseman. There's not a chance we can get him for Todd freaking Frazier.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 21, 2017 -> 10:47 AM) I think he sucks and the Sox should have cut ties last year but he does seem to have a lot of fans in the org. The guy works. Gotta respect him for that. Yep. I remember Mike saying this and I was in complete agreement. Say what you will about Avi (and you can say ALOT), but you can never question his work ethic. That kid bust his ass off everyday. Whether its rehabbing an injury (and beats the odds coming back way faster than usual guys) or him running out every grounder to 1st base, the kid is all heart.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Feb 21, 2017 -> 10:14 AM) Would Beer go 1.1 in the 2017 draft? http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/ask-b...semsrz5p10dK.97 Pretty much notes Beers value lies entirely in his bat, and historically bat only players don't go 1.1 They are extremely risky. I remember the Pedro Alvarez hype (sorry daa, I know that's your boy) who was an absolute joy to watch in college (talked about 1.1 since his freshman year). Matt Weiters as well (who slipped to 5, although his defensive reports weren't bad). I love Beer, but I wouldn't be shocked if he doesn't go 1.1 in '18 either depending on how this year goes. With that being said, what he did his freshman year was nothing short of incredible. He'd have to really fall off to not be at LEAST a 1.2/3.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 21, 2017 -> 10:17 AM) Sox love Severino, was in an article about a scout who watched him and the other Nats guys we got I believe I can see it. Kid has some Salvador Perez (albeit light/poor man's as many obviously question his bat) in his game. Tremendous arm. Can definitely see him winning a gold glove in the future, plus it would be nice to have another young player who can bring it with the glove other than Anderson.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 21, 2017 -> 09:14 AM) It was their choice. They wanted nothing to do with IT2 and they released Whiteside. LOL. I was talking about the players, not management.

Crazy to think the 2012 Sacramento Kings had a young Whiteside, Thomas and Cousins and seeing what they turned into today. In my man J4L's word, could've had the NBA "shook" had they stayed together.(obviously not their choice in that) Oh, and that same year, OKC had a young Harden, Durant and Westbrook too.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Feb 19, 2017 -> 09:08 PM) Has easily replaced Shaw. Yep. Danault would've done the same with Kruger if he were still here as well. Both look like good picks by Stan. A shame we couldn't keep Danault.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 11:19 PM) This is absolutely a no brainer. Thank your for putting this together for us. What he said.

My god.. I know Ben Simmons hasn't played yet, but I find it hilarious people are forgetting about him. If there is a kid who has a chance to be generational (cough.. J4L.. ) it's that kid. Sucks that his development got off to a slow start though.

He probably has to wear a knee brace for the rest of his career thanks to that Fowler collision. I just don't see him holding up anywhere but 1B (as far as playing adequate defense) in the NL sadly.

And maybe a cut out shadow for the next top prospect the sox draft in this year's draft at #12.

Giolito for Reyes Hahn..

I think alot of people would be more interested if alot of the kids were up and playing. Still way too many veterans in this roster. I for one will be following the minors exclusively this season. Gonna take me back to a young Ace 7-10+ years ago with my FutureSox days or even further than that as a kid going to Barons games. Might have to give my uncle a ring about staying over this summer.

Doing guys who will be in the minors all season? Is Alec Hansen next?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 10:14 AM) Where'd you see this? All over the Internet Row.

Looks like McGregor vs Mayweather is gonna happen.

They all left it out on the ice that game. Enjoy the break boys. Panik is nearing 30 points. And we got him for Morin. Great pickup by Stan there.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 10, 2017 -> 10:44 AM) I'm not a Bears fan but I like the Tyrod Taylor idea for them. Makes a lot of sense to me. Completely agree.

I'm just hoping Pace stays the course and fans/media stay patient with him. Seems as though the media is the main culprit trying to say Pace (and Fox) is gone if the Bears don't get to at least .500 next season so he has to do quick fixes which will hurt this franchise in the long run.
