fathom

Awful news, but that delivery seemed prone to it.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 04:04 AM) Anyone know why Moncada got pulled in the 9th inning and Bueno had to finish his at bat? Was it during the at bat? Figured it was due to blowout

Skoug homer

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 03:03 AM) So what are the available alternatives to the fifth best prospect in baseball? BA podcast said some scouts think Eloy might be 70 hit/70 power....that's rare

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 02:44 AM) That's fair. Shortstop is shortstop, can always move those guys around. Not out of the question the best SS in the org is Leury (remember him before he vanished?)

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 01:43 AM) I think he'll be fine too. But if there's a position I'm fine hoarding it's SS. Mo St SS!

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 01:42 AM) I'll believe Anderson is a quality major league shortstop until he sucks next season. Dude is going to be fine imo. Even I agree with this and I agree he can be a number 8 hitter on a great team

Also by stockpiling talent they will have the resources to trade for stars (like what Cubs did today)

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 01:02 AM) I spoke with several Sox and Cub fans around town today and to a man, every cub fan liked the trade and every so fan was madder than he11. Why make a trade that helps the cubs...in any way shape of form? Hahn had other alternatives. My experience was the exact opposite

Two months ago I would have said no, but he's added four big time offensive guys recently in Robert, Burger, Sheets and Jimenez. Like someone else said, the available money for free agency down the road should be special

QUOTE (Quin @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 01:09 AM) You're not getting Stanton without giving up one of Moncada, Robert or Eloy unless teams are really balking at the money. Stanton is rumored to be a salary dump

Legend of Acuna continues

Some boring leadoff hitter on Charlotte singled

Passan was on the Score and thought Dodgers would go after Britton, Doolittle and a righty. Made it sound like they want to add three relievers.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 08:21 PM) Mayo says burger, sheets, and skoug will all be top 100 on new list Where he say this

Probably an error as he was activated today

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 08:14 PM) See: Torres, Gleyber Cubs had the young players to survive that and Chapman is a game-changer

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 08:03 PM) Robertson, Kahnle, Swarzak for Soto, Kieboom, Fedde. Who says no? Easily Nats. Soto is a top 20 guy, you aren't getting him for a reliever

QUOTE (kwill @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 06:32 PM) My second thought. Does anyone ever think about that rumored December three team trade involving the Pirates, Yankees and White Sox? I just wonder was Aaron Judge a second piece to that deal? Damn what could have been. He wasn't

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 07:26 PM) At the very least, would take Jimenez over Rutherford 10x over (though statements like this ... certainly could come back) Fwiw, in today's chat, KLaw said Rutherford isn't hitting anything hard this year

I love the Mo St SS. Looked better than Burger to me

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 06:43 PM) The Braves, IMO, are the only team who has a great argument. They have Nos. 10, 23, 25, 33, 41, 42, 55, 72 & 76. Like I said earlier, either #1 or #2 at worst. KLaw said in chat it's likely Braves 1, Sox 2

QUOTE (Tony @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 07:16 PM) The two teams just did a blockbuster together, yet fans still think this is a "thing" If I'm ok with it, everyone should be

KLaw thinks Eloy will be a star

QUOTE (FT35 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 06:44 PM) Not to mention having the potential story line developing of "Cubs turned everything around when they got Quintana from the White Sox." If that happens, it will be nice having that little White Sox Brand reminder peppered into the Cubs late-season coverage. That would be bad publicity for the Sox
