fathom

We have plenty of his ceiling guys who are far away. Don't mind a guy who is closer to the show with a lower ceiling.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 26, 2017 -> 01:04 AM) Part of me thinks Kenny just decided to move Swarzak to Milwaukee to piss off the Cubs. Thing is, consensus seems to be that a lot of scouts really like him. He's probably a better bet to contribute at the MLB level than a lot of the bigger name Brewers guys that forgot how to hit this year.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 26, 2017 -> 01:31 AM) Wonder if Collins is feeling the long season at this point. Not an excuse, but it's new for him catching most days for months at a time. Friend is at the game. Says Collins looks awful behind the plate. Not good, he was a fan of his earlier in the year.

I like him more than Tilson. Heck of a lasting image by Swarzak here

I don't care if he chases first pitch, but at least have a plan and swing hard. He rarely hits anything with authority anymore

Trent Clark?

303 and falling fast

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 09:42 PM) New York is apparently in on the tank for us. Didn't you watch postseason last year? Pretty sure Ron Santo is the replay guy in NY

Something that is ridiculous is the media will focus on Hawk's rant after the game instead of Lackey hitting more people than Addison Russell

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 09:22 PM) He is full tank You mean the setup man come aug 1st?

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 07:01 PM) I'm much more nervous about the next stages of the rebuild than the trading of the big chips. For instance, how does Hahn handle future FA signings, contract extensions, drafting, more under the radar trades, etc. The exciting part from the perspective of the fans is over, crossing my fingers that Hahn and crew can make good decisions the next few years. Yep now it's onto the part they've really struggled with. If the org continues to struggle helping guys make adjustments, then this will never work. Lots of guys with star potential but could easily flop (true for almost all prospects).

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 10:13 PM) Expand your zone with two strikes. Yep he did this in AAA this year. Needs to learn to foul off close pitches

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 09:02 PM) Frank Thomas sighting. Maybe the guy should go into sartorial advising... He should be the hitting coach

Yes Kyle, Beck still sucks

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 08:38 PM) While there are still some red flags, the Sox player development has improved by leaps and bound in recent years. A franchise which couldn't produce anything is producing starting caliber major league players at a regular rate over the past couple of years. Who are you referring to? Semien and Anderson?

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 08:45 PM) He reverted to the mean. Which in Saladino's case is struggling to put up a .600 OPS. I'm willing to bet he's with a different org next year

Nice clutch hitting today

Wtf happened to Saladino this year. Very disappointing

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 09:30 PM) f*** outta here you POS. Probably last pitch he throws as a Cubs player

Thanks for keeping him in

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 08:20 PM) Are you s***ting me? I look forward to hearing Kasper whine about it on one of his 500 radio appearances next week

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 08:18 PM) LOVE him doing that. One of the reasons I like Ricky even with all the negatives. Agreed and I think he's going to get sent down. He's benched for two games due to lack of hustle and then pulled two games later. At some point, you go with the worst option

QUOTE (Scoots @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 08:15 PM) Should've done it with 2 outs...if the cubs score on this I swear. We are into the pen in the 5th with no Swarzak. Gonna get ugly no matter what.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 08:10 PM) I'm as done on the guy as anybody and I have no excuses. He just has no plan. He has very little clue on the field and seems in his own head off the field. I totally get the tragedy and it sucks, but he was terrible prior to it this year.

QUOTE (Tony @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 08:14 PM) Len Kasper is such a turd. After Beck hit him "C'mon seriously, just throw him out" Wait, he had time to discuss the game instead of music?
