Malkin SHOULD of been one as well. Was a pretty glaring omission there.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 27, 2017 -> 05:25 AM) Um, they have KP. A potential generational talent. We don't have that. Let's not get carried away. You're better than that.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jan 27, 2017 -> 07:28 AM) I take it Lopez wasn't eligible? Also, if you were looking for a reason to like a Glasnow/Keller/Newman package, these rankings probably did it for you. All three ranked in the top 23. Newman is #24 in ZiPS and #33 in Keith Law's ranking. I'm assuming the numbers to the left are the ZiPS rankings for the top 100. Laws is on the right side. Some guys he has aren't even on his top 100 (>100). I don't have the insider, but I believe that's what it means. Could be wrong of course.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Jan 26, 2017 -> 08:53 PM) Until he makes it in the major league debut, we can't really know for sure. Beckham wore like 58 before he settled on 15 Usually when its a low number like that, it's probably going to be the number they have. Only time that changes is if there's a vet pickup who likes a particular number and that young player has to change (i.e. Rollins last year)

QUOTE (Tony @ Jan 26, 2017 -> 05:15 PM) Rondo, WOW. https://instagram.com/p/BPvs5RCDGO8/ Bobby Portis just liked his post. I f***ing love it. Call out the 2 hypocrite leaders. The realist guy on this roster.

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Jan 24, 2017 -> 10:19 PM) Matt Davidson. That's who I'm going with also, although I'm a bit biased towards him. Spencer Adams for minor leagues.

Looks like #19 is back to his old self.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jan 24, 2017 -> 10:11 AM) Why is Call so low? I'm more shocked Victor Diaz is that low at 29.

Jim Bowden mentioned what he heard about Eaton's reputation after the trade went down on BBTN. https://youtu.be/nB2WoR0PYa0 Fathom is correct about the difference between Frazier and Eaton.

GB was gift wrapped 3 turnovers and they still couldn't open the presents.

Rest in peace to both guys. Ventura was a headcase (Eaton can attest to that) but was a good looking young pitcher.

Can we trade them Miguel Gonzalez for Braxton Garrett please?

Jose Canseco was going ballistic on twitter last night.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 18, 2017 -> 04:11 PM) Those multiple recent concussions are a bit worrisome to me. Had 2 goals the other night. I'd take him back for secondary scoring. Guys like Desjardins, Tootoo, Rasmussen, etc. are not helping us there.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 17, 2017 -> 12:55 PM) Favre was with GB for 3 more seasons. Rodgers only threw 59 passes total his first 3 years. So maybe there is something to he's as good as he is because he had that opportunity to develop. I have no idea. But there are many teams that wish they had their pick before him back. Exactly. Because he was a top 3-5 consensus pick. Greg Olsen for example knows a thing or two about slipping from where you were projected to get picked. (Top 15)

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jan 17, 2017 -> 12:49 PM) They would have played him right away and he wouldn't have been anywhere near as good though. Rodgers needed a ton of mechanical work to turn into what he has. We will never know. Did it help he watched Favre all that time? Maybe. But I still think he would've been great regardless.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 17, 2017 -> 12:45 PM) The Bears spent the 4th pick on Ced Benson. It would have been doubly good if they drafted Rodgers because not only would they have him, the Packers would not. They believed Rex was their guy. Noone thought Rodgers would fall into the Packers lap, which helped coincide with Favre getting up there in age. You gotta remember even with injuries, Rex was only 2 years removed from being drafted in the 1st round by the Bears. They just didn't know what they had in him since he got injured his first couple of years there.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 17, 2017 -> 12:37 PM) He went 24th. If teams had a top 3-5 grade on him he would have gone a lot sooner. I'll bet the house the 49ers are still regretting passing on him. Lets just leave it at that. Some teams also drafted on need at that time, not BPA. Hell, some still do.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jan 17, 2017 -> 12:34 PM) It's not about him throwing hard -- it's his demeanor and attitude. Some humility will eventually do him good. Yea some of his vine/insta/etc videos with his plastic girlfriend are awful to me personally. But he is still very young. Kid has some maturing to do obviously as a professional.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 17, 2017 -> 12:14 PM) At the time of their drafts, Brady, Rodgers, and Brees would have been considered pretty big reaches at pick #3. Rodgers was a consensus top 3-5 pick in that draft. Hell, Kiper Jr. had him only slightly behind Alex Smith in that draft and that was only because he felt Smith was more NFL ready off the bat. Rodgers just happened to slip in the draft because every other team was set (or believed they were) at QB. (Kind of like Greg Olsen falling to the Bears lap and other players as well) And guys like Brady and Brees are not the usual standard. Noone and I mean noone would've predicted Brady to be the player that he is. One of the rare players who was way better in the NFL than in college. And Brees had questions about his height which was very common during that time.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 17, 2017 -> 10:11 AM) For the White Sox I predict he puts up 0-0 0.00 0.00 0 0 0 Seriously. Is hi8is expecting him to be here this coming season or something?

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jan 16, 2017 -> 12:28 AM) I would say Courtney Hawkins I'll never forget there were even scouts (or was it a couple of scouting departments of different orgs?) who questioned why that kid was in high A after only 72 PA in low A.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 14, 2017 -> 11:47 PM) The Sox didn't destroy Fulmer. That's a silly thing to say but whatever. They absolutely crippled his development. I've seen a ton of prospects never be the same when rushed. I really hope he can bounce back and the sox take their time with him from here on out.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 14, 2017 -> 06:32 PM) I thought he was done, he has had a hell of a game. He said this was his last rodeo. https://mobile.twitter.com/bcondotta/status...464187839283201 What a career. I hope the Bears give him a one day contract to let him retire here. IMO, a future hall of famer.
