Tyler Toffoli = Hawks killer.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 24, 2014 -> 08:33 PM) He and Handzus were having a tea party in front of the net But dude, Handzus brings "defensive responsibility" and "safety" according to Q.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ May 24, 2014 -> 01:13 PM) Has he been moving up draft boards? I'm still hoping for one of Aiken or Rodon. The Cubs supposedly like him alot. Ideally, they'd love Rodon, but doubtful he gets to them. Theo wants to go underslot and then spend the big $ in the later rounds.

Sutter is keeping the Kopitar line away from the Toews line. Not working out so far.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 23, 2014 -> 08:29 AM) I don't think anyone wants to pass on Rodon either. Talk cooled on him here because he's not very likely to be at 3. I've seen posts about bonus demands (Boras) and high pitch counts on here. Not saying I agree or disagree, but there are some here who don't mind the sox passing on him if he's there.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ May 23, 2014 -> 08:02 AM) If we take Nola, it better be for under-slot. This board will definitely be interesting to read if the sox take Nola and pass on Aiken, Rodon or Kolek. I'm seeing people are more understandable on passing on Kolek and Rodon, but not Aiken (if he's still there).

Yanks face Samardzija and Sale on back to back nights... good.

Heh.. saw the title and thought it was about some ridiculous article about our franchise being shipped out.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 19, 2014 -> 10:28 AM) Wow, Carey Price is out for the entire ECF. Chris Kreider better skate with his head up tonight. Not like the Habs were beating either of the Hawks or Kings anyways, but he was literally the backbone of that team.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 13, 2014 -> 08:45 PM) Wow! Bet the Penguins have a new head coach next year QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 13, 2014 -> 08:50 PM) And GM. Nice call (although not entirely shocking) boys.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 14, 2014 -> 10:36 AM) Do people think Shaw will actually come back or do you think he's out for playoffs? Supposedly he was seen in a walking boot a few days ago. Who knows the severity of it. He'll probably be good to go next round, just not at 100%.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ May 12, 2014 -> 04:53 PM) Maybe, but you wouldn't be able to trade Avi because he's coming off of injury, and Avi at least has the tools to be an average or better defensive OFer, where Viciedo is really nothing but an arm. I just hope the surgery doesn't affect him mentally on the field. I remember when it most certainly did for Quentin.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 13, 2014 -> 12:16 AM) I hate to see Fernandez hurt. Agreed, it's a big blow to the game. He is fun to watch pitch. His velocity has dropped Erik Johnson-like in his last few starts. QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ May 12, 2014 -> 10:27 PM) In the meantime, more changeups, less sliders, Mr. Sale please. Just sucks because the slider is Sale's most devastating pitch. As bmags said though, in a way you have to ride your guy and hope for the best. In a way, that's why I'm not too concerned about guys like Kolek (real high velocity at 18) or Rodon (real high pitch counts) to an extent.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 13, 2014 -> 12:06 AM) There's just no way you don't have Semien hitting there over Garcia. If you don't have any confidence in him, then send him to Charlotte. Period. He should've been in Charlotte as soon as Beckham (and Gillaspie to an extent) came off the DL. I don't like him at 3B either. Hopefully we see the Semien-Johnson combo at AAA. Let them both grow together and learn each others tendencies in the infield down there.

Nieto was better off hitting for himself. (C'mon Robin, your acting like this team is competing this year.. ) I will agree with Hawk though. Last year down 4 runs, we would've mailed it in. These guys are stubborn.. in a good way.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 12, 2014 -> 11:42 PM) You know me, I wanted him traded due to the rebuilding of this year (and the fact his stiff was average). Just have to hope Davidson turns it around. You and Marty were definitely in that camp. (reminds me of Eminor3rd, myself and Marty on the trade Viciedo while you can camp, although he's been pretty good so far) Was not a fan of it, but it looks like unless Davidson can turn it around (still early, and Reed for that matter), it might be one of those Santos for Molina trades that neither side benefits.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 7, 2014 -> 10:53 AM) http://mlb.si.com/2014/05/07/mike-trout-jo...d-cover-may-12/ The kiss of death.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ May 11, 2014 -> 07:35 PM) I bet Mel Kiper has done better than some GM's. It's tough to predict some of these guys. Some players are never good because of injuries or off the field issues. Dracula knows his s***. But like any scout, GM, etc. he's wrong more often than he is right about prospects.

Great win. Toews with his 10th GWG in his playoff career with the Hawks. Most in franchise history, just turned 26 years old.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ May 10, 2014 -> 09:23 AM) keithlaw ‏@keithlaw 33m Speaking of pitcher health, multiple sources telling me today UNLV pitcher Erick Fedde will need TJ surgery too Good god, it's like the Death Row year for pitchers in terms of surgeries. (big leagues and prospects) Gotta feel for the kid. I guess Eminor3rd will be happy hearing this news.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 9, 2014 -> 06:32 PM) ^ This reinforces the idea to me that it'd be insane for the White Sox to pass on one of the big three arms. Agreed. In a way, I hope for Kolek, just for the fact of his upside and having a top RHP to pair with Sale (and to a lesser extent Quintana) for the foreseeable future gets me giddy.

Uhhh.....
