Let's get Mets and Nats in a bidding war if Familia is done for season

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ May 11, 2017 -> 02:58 PM) Mountcastle is tearing up A+ right now. I mean, I like Soto as a trade piece better than anything the Os could send over, but they can put a package together that would be value for Robertson. As always, the more teams who have a need, the better. Soto is probably too good to get now

Where is Haseley projected

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 11, 2017 -> 02:38 PM) Here's Keith Law's 1st Mock Draft: http://www.espn.com/blog/keith-law/insider/post?id=7049 He has the Sox taking Pavin Smith at #11 with Faedo and Kendall on the board. I'm not sure they'd do that. Are there any success stories with hitters who struck out as much as Kendall has in college turning it around in the pros?

Orioles could be in the market for a closer also it would seem

Adolfo...you have my attention

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 10, 2017 -> 11:30 PM) Everyone can spin it anyway they like, the bottom line is the results have to get better or this guy is a bust. It is always easy to blame messing with mechanics and it takes a while to get back to the old way, but remember the old way got him a TJ surgery at a young age. This stuff is still fluff until he starts pitching better. Amen....situation reminds me a bit of Mark Appel

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 10, 2017 -> 02:42 AM) How could Saladino miss that pitch? I guess he's not as good as I thought. League musta caught up with him. He can't hit. I was fooled. Really thought he was a big league hitter. He's a homegrown Sox position player. That's like being shocked that a Browns QB sucks

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 10, 2017 -> 02:39 AM) Was he really a second round pick? Or am I mistaken? I hate the draft. He was but he completely tanked his draft season which caused him to fall that far. It has nothing to do with draft slot like you refuse to acknowledge

Offense is awful. Steverson does a wonderful job

Avi is on pace for 20 errors

Pelfrey and Covey is going to wear out these relievers

Nats blow another game. They need a closer immediately

Avi another blunder

Jennings struggling of late

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 10, 2017 -> 02:15 AM) eh, I will always watch the games and want to win but yea I guess so. I don't care for a second if they lose 100-5 in games started by Pelfrey and Covey. Be nice to see Anderson do well

Pelfrey is missing spots by an insane margin this inning

Nieto homers off Kopech...ha. Great start anyways

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 10, 2017 -> 02:10 AM) Well this season is starting to go to s*** just like every may. Um good

Nice inning here for Tank Commander Pelfrey

Avi falling into some bad habits

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 10, 2017 -> 12:58 AM) Safe to say Melky has no idea what Hector is throwing tonite. Two uuugly Ks His swing just seems so strange vs LHP. He used to look incredible against Buehrle

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 9, 2017 -> 01:07 AM) Except with Giolito, his confidence is already shot. Exposing him to getting destroyed in Chicago won't do anything. It's not a matter of "wiping that confident smirk off his face" to make him more open to advice from the coaching staff. Unless there's something going on with him and he's not listening to them, listening to someone from the outside or his family...granted, that's all speculative, certainly someone at Future Sox who is close to the AAA coaching staff/pitching coach must have some insight, although I'm sure it will never get out for media purposes until the interventions start working successfully. Lots of speculation by you here. Personally I just think his fastball is unplayable. No command and horrible spin rate (assuming it hasn't improved)

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ May 9, 2017 -> 02:04 AM) Demoting Giolito won't help his command and control. I think it would hurt his development having worse hitters flailing away at his garbage control. I'd almost like him to get a callup to work with Coop. I think they called up Fulmer last year to show him that whatever he was doing in the minors wasn't going to work in the majors. Everyone got all pissy that he wasn't ready but I think the brass was proving to him that he needed to change something. Agreed on everything

QUOTE (reiks12 @ May 9, 2017 -> 02:02 AM) giolito is awful I am at 90% panic concerning him Luckily Lopez has been getting a bit better Giolito has all the makings of a reliever to me. Ironic considering everyone said he would be a starter and Lopez wouldn't
