Cumulus Media trying to drop White Sox/Bulls from WLS
QUOTE (New Era on South Side @ Feb 7, 2018 -> 11:51 PM) It matters in terms of the direction of content. The Score rarely has White Sox players, coaches and front office members on unless it is Mully and Hanley in the morning. Spiegel and Parkins are both Cubs fans so they rarely talk about the White Sox and I’ve only heard B&G talk with the Sox twice since they started their show. You don't like hearing Len Kasper do interviews ten times a week on the Score during baseball season?

Minor League News and Notes for 1/8-2/4
QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 7, 2018 -> 03:56 AM) I can’t wait until people start freaking out about Kopech showing up at like 93 on the radar gun and saying his velocity is way down after their has been countless articles saying this Spring and season he is going focus primarily on offspeed stuff. Just wait, it’s coming. No way, it will be myself and others freaking out about Giolito and Lopez's velocity

Realmuto the next Marlin to be auctioned off?
QUOTE (BrianAnderson @ Feb 5, 2018 -> 07:34 PM) The Marlins seem to be doing a really brokea** Sox rebuild a year later. Thank god we have Hahn and not Jeter and Co. You look at all these talented guys being auctioned off and you think to yourself how the hell didn't they compete.. Yelich Ozuna Gordon Stanton Realmuto Then you still have okay pieces in Bour, I forget their third baseman off the top of my head,.. the overpaid, but decent 3B. I mean, they had a heck of a lot of talent but no real SP. Kind of the Sox, but opposite. We had Sale and Q and company, but just not enough bats. Then when didn't have what we needed to trade or acquire them to finish the team. Has to suck to be a Marlins fan. Both teams should be ashamed they weren't more competitive

Big fan of Eric and Kiley. I'm surprised how low Kopech is on most of these lists.

BP 101 lists 8 White Sox Prospects
QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 5, 2018 -> 06:00 PM) I think the in person reports see a kid who likes spraying the ball over the field which has caused the GB rate. If he fills out and changes approach he could unlock his potential. But the in person reports for him were awful according to KLaw. Very weak contact and definitely not a CF.

Collinsworth might as well have been Bergman announcing the ALDS in 2005. What a disgrace

Keith Law White Sox System Write-Up
QUOTE (DirtySox @ Feb 4, 2018 -> 07:14 PM) He's not the only one that thinks this. Does anyone outside of the Sox org actually think he can? Still waiting to hear a non-Sox rep say he can.

2017-2018 MLB player movement rumors and reports
QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Feb 2, 2018 -> 06:06 AM) Yup, that was his update tonight. The meeting was to go over Darvish strategy. The idea is they know what the Rays want for Archer, but want to probably wait on what Darvish does before pulling the trigger. Darvish expected to make his decision Monday, and then we may see a flurry of trades and signings that have been held up by him. He doesn't expect them to get Darvish, but does think they get Archer for 4 pieces

2017 Offseason White Sox News, Notes, and Tweets thread
QUOTE (Username @ Feb 1, 2018 -> 07:36 PM) White Sox supposedly in the market for a DH, according to Heyman. No names from what I can tell. Melky reunion?

Personal Top 5 wants for the 2018 Draft
QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Feb 1, 2018 -> 01:30 AM) 1. 3B 2. LHP 3. Middle Infield, because you can never have enough of those guys. Why is 3b so high? Would be a pretty bad testament to their scouting of Burger last year.

Personal Top 5 wants for the 2018 Draft
Two things: - in today's KLaw chat, he said Hankins seems to be the top rated guy as of now in the whole draft - with Kiley McDaniel back at fangraphs, I expect we'll get better draft tidbits heading into the draft than last year

Personal Top 5 wants for the 2018 Draft
QUOTE (daggins @ Jan 31, 2018 -> 11:45 PM) Yup. My exact thoughts when I saw this thread title - High Upside Middle Infielders and Left Handed Starting Pitching. I'm hoping Eierman just goes bonkers this year and becomes a top 5 pick. In the games I saw last year, he was more impressive than Burger by a gigantic amount.

Time for Brock to go away. Main event matches with him are unwatchable despite how great Braun is

SoxFest Updates Thread
QUOTE (Soxnfins @ Jan 27, 2018 -> 09:02 PM) They are so signing one of the big FAs next year. He was probably talking about Cespedes in the offer above. Tanaka

2017 Offseason White Sox News, Notes, and Tweets thread
QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jan 26, 2018 -> 11:14 PM) wow, that's a great update and perhaps lends more credence to the "minor" version of his shoulder surgery story the Sox are selling. Hell, if he's already starting his throwing program you'd think he's only a few weeks behind. Maybe a May debut? He said tonight he hopes to be ready by ASB. So he will probably be ready by 2021

Brewers Acquire Christian Yelich & sign Lorenzo Cain
Brewers insider claiming they are working on two trades. Santana to an AL team tomorrow and one other.

Brewers Acquire Christian Yelich & sign Lorenzo Cain
Braun is going nowhere. They will trade Santana for pitching.
-
Brewers Acquire Christian Yelich & sign Lorenzo Cain
The insider has been correct from the Brewers site so far, thus Yu probably going to Cubs

Brewers Acquire Christian Yelich & sign Lorenzo Cain
Diaz was also easily available for Brewers once they drafted Hiura

Brewers Acquire Christian Yelich & sign Lorenzo Cain
QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jan 26, 2018 -> 12:33 AM) Nah- Eloy, Dunning, and Rutherford/Adolfo. Hansen is a much better prospect than Diaz. Hansen higher ranked than Harrison but Brinson equally higher ranked than Robert

Would you agree Sox equivalent is Robert, Hansen and Rutherford?

Brewers Acquire Christian Yelich & sign Lorenzo Cain
If they only would have traded Ecreg, Dane Dunning would be happiest man alive
