2017 MLB DRAFT
Also Evan Skoug in 3rd round would be interesting. Possible catcher who finished strong and is from Libertyville

2017 MLB DRAFT
QUOTE (beautox @ Jun 5, 2017 -> 05:12 PM) I would be open to that, which ever bat they take at 11, Ideally Haseley, Beck Kendall, Adell in that order. If Seth Romero is available at 39 I hope they take him issues and all. I'm intrigued with Drew Ellis from Louisville with 2nd pick

Seth Beer should work all offseason on hitting inside fastballs. It's the only pitch he gets

2017 MLB DRAFT
QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 5, 2017 -> 04:02 AM) Looks like a starter to me. Reminds me of Dane Dunning as a bullpen guy who would be better starting. I always thought other guys (Fulmer, Jay, etc) were more bullpen guys in the future. Agreed, and Kendall just smoked a ball that was caught. He's impressing me this weekend

Renteria is a horrible in-game manager
QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Jun 5, 2017 -> 02:02 AM) It seems that people are forgetting this. And forgetting that this is Renteria's second season as a manager. The excessive bunting was an issue when he was with the Cubs. He's had a few years to change his philosophy and he clearly hasn't. No denying he's a good teacher and relates well to the players.

Cardinals defense is a total joke. Thanks for nothing this weekend

Renteria is a horrible in-game manager
QUOTE (SCCWS @ Jun 5, 2017 -> 12:20 AM) That may be true but what is he teaching? I saw a video where he had the whole team practicing bunting during the Red Sox series. His love of bunting is scary. Also might want to remind players to cover the base on a steal attempt. Three times this week they forgot.

I know it's for 2018 but Beer is very bad in the outfield

June 4th Game Thread
QUOTE (JoshPR @ Jun 4, 2017 -> 11:05 PM) Nah far ftom it. There worst here. They only post when something goes wrong. Fathom has been consistent. A lot worse debbie downers here Yeah I feel I've been fairly consistent this season. Tank away while hoping for Anderson and Rodon to excel. It's ironic that the guys doing the best are those that weren't "trade bait" coming into the year (Avi, Leury, Kahnle) while nearly every trade chip has imploded.

Use him same way Cubs did. Have him help develop the core guys and then upgrade when you're ready to compete.

June 4th Game Thread
QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Jun 4, 2017 -> 09:40 PM) Agreed. I want Q, Frazier, Kahnle, Swarzak, etc to all do well so their trade value increases, but ultimately it's for the best if the Sox are picking as high as possible in the draft. A 1-0 loss with Q pitching a gem tomorrow night would be perfect. 2-1 loss with two unearned runs and an Anderson triple that scores Avi after a triple

June 4th Game Thread
QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Jun 4, 2017 -> 09:38 PM) FIFY. You want Q to be good to move him, but the majority of a rebuild is still run through the draft. I would disagree and say the prospects they hoped to get for Q would have been more of a sure thing

QUOTE (mataipaepae @ Jun 4, 2017 -> 09:34 PM) Isn't this what we want? Seems some are getting so upset we loser, like this was suppose to be a good year. I'm all for losing when it's guys like Pelfrey and Covey. Seeing Q and Robertson get shelled is not beneficial for the rebuild

June 4th Game Thread
QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 4, 2017 -> 09:22 PM) That was one of the few games he hasn't had that curve. But, as Stone Pony was saying he was fighting it the whole outing so why keep calling for it!!!??? Ridiculous Cooper rules!

That FA class with Robertson, Melky and LaRoche has been a monumental flop.

June 4th Game Thread
QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Jun 4, 2017 -> 10:18 PM) Robertson's stuff was brutal today. It is very strange how often his stuff fluctuates between dominant and mediocre. Cause his fastball stinks now so if his curve is off, he has no chance. They aren't getting anything significant for him

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 4, 2017 -> 08:56 PM) It is very frustrating to watch our guys continually fail to deliver that safety squeeze bunt or see Renteria continue to call for it Safety squeeze wouldn't even work with someone as slow as Smith on 3rd
