QUOTE (Buehrlesque @ Jun 15, 2017 -> 08:14 PM) Verdugo is having a nice season is AAA so far: .314/.390/.433 with more walks than strikeouts (PCL caveats apply). He could be a nice starting point... And Calhoun and Buehler

QUOTE (onedude @ Jun 15, 2017 -> 08:59 PM) Rollins had a similar regression his second "full" year. I'm willing to give Tim Anderson the whole year until I judge him. He'll likely get another season to prove himself though. He will get longer than that

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jun 15, 2017 -> 07:40 PM) I still think he should still be in the minors and never called up last year. He was good last year though. Just big time regression this season that we've seen far too often from WSox hitters in their sophomore season

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Jun 15, 2017 -> 07:36 PM) I don't have much optimism for Tim Anderson, just flails out there at balls far out of the zone Down to -.3 fWAR. Also no clue why Renteria keeps putting him high up in the order. Just keep him at 7

Horrible at bat by Anderson. Orioles realized no reason to throw him fastballs

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 15, 2017 -> 07:31 PM) I don't want to go overboard, but Matt Davidson has the chance to be the greatest third baseman the league has ever seen. The question becomes about calling up Moncada....where would he play? Yolmer has clearly won the position for next decade

Davidson! Look out Griffey

Keep wondering if Dodgers need a top set-up man. Would love to get future DH Calhoun from them

Jeez Avi...stay hot

QUOTE (Soha @ Jun 15, 2017 -> 04:28 PM) While recognizing that drafts need to be judged years later - yeah, I came away feeling a but underwhelmed. And again, I think it's partly because last year's draft would have been hard to match. And also this year's first round seemed to take a big drop down at our exact #11 pick. I feel like last year's draft is a bit overrated

Awesome for Hanson. He bopped that one. Guarantee Pirates fans are pissed

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 15, 2017 -> 04:51 AM) Agreed. You may get someone who claims him on waivers to eat the rest of his 2018 salary, but the most you are getting for him is a 40 FV guy with tools. Really, I don't see any harm in keeping him in the rotation until September 1st or even the end of the season, but there's no need for him in 2018. If they cut him prior to that point, so be it. He's a FA after this year

Pelfrey pitching in relief is odd. Really makes me wonder if a move is about to be made (combined with Lopez scratch)

Cool Avi stat https://mobile.twitter.com/JRFegan/status/875190193732685825

Omar should be allowed to take steroids. Amazing how little power he has, ISO under .020

Anderson swinging at far too many pitches out of the zone. Desperately needs to move closer to the plate and/or close his stance

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 15, 2017 -> 03:32 AM) Oh darn. I'm so disappointed by this turn of events. This has been great so far

Haha he is so awful. Not much more to see with him this year. Love seeing managers more concerned with starter being eligible for the win instead of making a change

QUOTE (daggins @ Jun 15, 2017 -> 04:22 AM) Doubt it. I think he finishes out the season with the Sox. That return (org depth, $ saved) seems more likely for Derek Holland. Nothing to be gained by keeping him. Probably want to give some of his starts to the young guys

Gonzalez really sucks this year. He will get traded at the deadline for a non top 20 org guy

Astros remind me of 2005 WSox and 2016 Cubs. Everything coming up roses for them. Martes was garbage in AAA and then does well in the majors

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Jun 15, 2017 -> 02:18 AM) If the Sox get a sense this is for real, I'm sure they'll try and extend him for his prime years, which interestingly enough, would align nicely with the rebuild timeline. Still find it fascinating he's a little over 200 days older than Kris Bryant

QUOTE (Tony @ Jun 15, 2017 -> 02:07 AM) I'm sold on him for 2017. I still don't like the idea of the long-term deal (I know many aren't suggesting that). No rush at all. I also think he would love to stay if they decide during next year to extend him

Willy - not a CF

QUOTE (Tony @ Jun 15, 2017 -> 02:00 AM) This used to be a fathom owned thread. At one game under .500, where you at???? Last year zapped so much of my Cubs obsession
