Rodon is aiming everything

QUOTE (chisoxt @ Jul 20, 2017 -> 01:31 AM) When you consider that the Cubs drafting one slot behind us on those years selected Schwarber and Happ, I'm starting to align with Theo's philosophy on NOT drafting pitchers with early round picks. I can understand the Rodon pick but selecting Carson Fulmer was shear ignorance. Rodon is a way more valuable asset than Schwarber

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Jul 20, 2017 -> 12:26 AM) 4 BB's and 0 K's for Fulmer through 4 innings. Only 1 run allowed but he seems completely broken right now. To me, he's done nothing besides being drafted high to deserve a top 20 spot in the org rankings. Give me Stephens, Guerrero and Adams over him

Some team will get a steal when acquiring Melky

JD Martinez might have just broke his hand

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Jul 20, 2017 -> 01:16 AM) He's been extremely mediocre for such a highly touted individual. Guess not everyone can get a rotation spot and dominate like Chris Sale. He was good last year. He's always been a slow starter dating back to college. With that said, if he does decent the rest of the year and a team offers a prime package for him...see ya

That's a horrible changeup

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 10:41 PM) Didn't know fathom worked for fanragsports. I have no opinion of him yet. I was relaying what KLaw had said. As for these reviews...yikes

Nightengale says Avi very much available https://mobile.twitter.com/BNightengale/sta...527347926294528

It's too bad Burdi got hurt. Could have slid into the closer role.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 06:01 AM) Robertson's best used as a setup man IMO. He's way too hittable when he isn't locked in. Yep and 13 mil for next year is a lot to have a team take on

QUOTE (credezcrew24 @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 05:57 AM) This has been Hahn's worst big deal by far People really overrated DRob's value. Remember the package be almost went for during the offseason? He's had a good year, but not great.

Does this mean LaRoche is coming out of retirement

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 05:45 AM) Hopefully Rutherford isn't too crushed. I believe he and his family are die hard Yankees fans. Wasn't Clarkin a diehard Red Sox fan?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 05:45 AM) We all know you love Fulmer ? Says AAA hitters

It's weird seeing Boston and Nats games and not caring how their pen does

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 05:37 AM) Undoubtedly the worst of the big trades. To trade 3 major leaguers including two with some nice value for only guy who will enter your top 20 or 25 prospects is not good to say the least. Just got to hope it land out and it doesn't matter anyways. Clarkin is very underrated. I would put him in the Guerrero range and say he has a better chance to start than someone like Fulmer

How can any Sox fan complain about an extension to a young guy? It's been the best thing the organization has done over last five years. Anderson might flop, but it doesn't mean it was a bad idea.

I'm gonna miss DRob. He struggled at times but I have never heard one bad thing about him off the field.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 05:24 AM) But seriously guys, we have like 12 bucks dedicated to the payroll going forward... Yep it's quite exciting. I'm still intrigued at the Stanton/Yellich idea if it's only money and minimal prospects in return

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 05:24 AM) Only reason why people thought we could get Kieboom or Soto for Robertson alone is because of how desperate the Nats were for relief pitching. But the A's were sure to give them a sweet deal. I'm guessing Rizzo didn't want an egg on his face twice in one season for dealing with Hahn. And because the Sox would have been paying a lot of money

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 05:23 AM) Seriously people are getting the term blue chip confused. Eloy Jimenez is a blue chip prospect. Rutherford currently isn't and again I'm probably the 3rd or 4th biggest Rutherford fan here. Yep if Eloy and Yoan are A+ prospects, he would be an A-. The good news is he seems to be hitting better of late. The Kanny lineup is quite intriguing

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 04:13 AM) Rebuilding teams should always be trading relievers. They are so volatile. Yes

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 05:07 AM) If they love Rutherford and it was the only way to acquire him? Yep especially if they used him to get Alonso and Gray
