fathom

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Nov 18, 2016 -> 12:34 AM) I would have guessed closer to 100 million than 50 million for him. He looked awful with the Dodgers. Looked way skinnier and no bat speed

Rather have ERod than Kopech

Sox only deal with Yankees if Sanchez is involved in my opinion, and that's not happening

QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Nov 16, 2016 -> 01:40 AM) Benintendi Devers Kopesch Eduardo Rodriguez Blake Swihart 1 of Jake Cosart, Deven Marrero, Trey Ball, Christian Vasquez, or Brian Johnson To me this still seems like the most likely outcome if a Boston deal were to happen. I know some here might think it's a little light, but I'd be happy with this haul. This + smart moves with Melky, Frazier, and Robertson and we could be setup nicely for a quick turn around in my opinion. No need to move Q, Eaton, and Abreu just yet No way does Boston give up that much

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Nov 16, 2016 -> 12:28 AM) Callis talking about a package from Boston of JBJ, Moncada or Benintendi, Devers and Kopech. No chance

QUOTE (flavum @ Nov 15, 2016 -> 01:24 AM) Micah Johnson back or no deal. Trayce more likely

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Nov 15, 2016 -> 01:17 AM) I think Jones to BOS is a damn near certainty if the Sox end up moving guys. I'm still hopeful of Jones for Josh Bell

In three years, I would be shocked if urias isn't better than Sale

Yadier Alvarez is another big prospect that could be in talks

Also wouldn't shock me at all if the Sox were interested in Joc

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 15, 2016 -> 12:58 AM) Urias has to be involved. Yep and Bellinger. I say: Sale, Frazier for urias, puig, Bellinger, Barnes and Lux

Have a game Jay

The idea of watching Carlos Sanchez ground out to 2nd base for an entire season makes me want to vomit, but hey....rebuilding!

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Nov 11, 2016 -> 12:46 AM) I don't follow much beyond the B1G schools in basketball recruiting, but is there a Power 5 school in the country with worse luck with de-commits than Illinois? I know de-commits happen all the time in football, but they seem to be way less prevalent in basketball. In the last decade, we've had Gordon, Snider, and now probably Tilmon all flip right around signing day. What the hell is wrong with this program? Snider and Tilmon aren't almost unprecedented in terms of their late change of heart

Lawrie to Angels for mid-level prospect is my guess

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Nov 10, 2016 -> 05:51 PM) Hmm. Thanks for sharing. Didn't realize the advanced stats hated him THAT much. The eye test would say he is mediocre defensive 1B, but clearly the stats say otherwise. His range is non-existent. Actually cost the sox quite a few games.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Nov 10, 2016 -> 05:40 PM) I am aware. His salary isn't going to skyrocket. I doubt he opts into arb this year. Do we know when he has to decide? It must be soon. Plus, lets stop acting like Jose cannot play 1B. Is he great over there? No. But he's not horrible. He was simply horrible last year on defense. Since he debuted, he's the worst defensive 1b in baseball according to def fWAR (Alvarez is worse but no longer playing in the field)

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 9, 2016 -> 11:45 PM) Kaplan isn't on his show today, but the panel is still drunk on Cubs kool aide. They said the Cubs wouldn't trade Schwarber straight up for Sale. Just saw the clip, and Pat Boyle said "maybe they could trade Soler, Almora and another piece for Sale". WOW

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Nov 10, 2016 -> 12:55 AM) Prospects all have the bust potential. Tread carefully. Near ready prospects will headline the deal. As they should given the organization's horrible track record of developing hitters

QUOTE (PolishPrince34 @ Nov 9, 2016 -> 11:47 PM) The first minor league prospect I'm asking from the Cubs is Eloy Jimenez. Future stud Real deal Him and Almora were the other two I was gonna flip with Happ and Soler

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 9, 2016 -> 11:46 PM) And when he is the second coming of Avi Garcia, you call for the GMs head for picking him up. As the third most valuable piece, it's worth the risk. He has a great contract also so if he becomes a good player, you have a bargain

Orioles looking for a lefty hitting corner outfielder that plays good defense. Eaton would be an unbelievable fit for them, but their farm system is weak.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Nov 10, 2016 -> 12:33 AM) Why would you want Soler? Sure, he's got some upside, but he has not shown nearly enough to be a key piece of a Quintana trade. Soler is type of guy in a rebuild you take a chance on and give him 1000 at bats. Contreras would be the key piece and the Sox catcher for the next half decade

Thoughts on what sox could get from Cubs for Q? I would go after Contreras, Soler and Happ

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Nov 9, 2016 -> 12:48 AM) As much as I think rebuilding and selling off is the right course of action, it worries me tremendously that the current regime is in charge of identifying the talent to acquire in any potential deal, as they have shown very little ability to make competent moves in the past. Couldn't agree more. It's ridiculous Hahn and KW are allowed to oversee the rebuild after the awful job the tandem has done.
