fathom

Big fan of Eric and Kiley. I'm surprised how low Kopech is on most of these lists.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 5, 2018 -> 06:00 PM) I think the in person reports see a kid who likes spraying the ball over the field which has caused the GB rate. If he fills out and changes approach he could unlock his potential. But the in person reports for him were awful according to KLaw. Very weak contact and definitely not a CF.

Collinsworth might as well have been Bergman announcing the ALDS in 2005. What a disgrace

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Feb 4, 2018 -> 07:14 PM) He's not the only one that thinks this. Does anyone outside of the Sox org actually think he can? Still waiting to hear a non-Sox rep say he can.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Feb 2, 2018 -> 06:06 AM) Yup, that was his update tonight. The meeting was to go over Darvish strategy. The idea is they know what the Rays want for Archer, but want to probably wait on what Darvish does before pulling the trigger. Darvish expected to make his decision Monday, and then we may see a flurry of trades and signings that have been held up by him. He doesn't expect them to get Darvish, but does think they get Archer for 4 pieces

QUOTE (Username @ Feb 1, 2018 -> 07:36 PM) White Sox supposedly in the market for a DH, according to Heyman. No names from what I can tell. Melky reunion?

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Feb 1, 2018 -> 01:30 AM) 1. 3B 2. LHP 3. Middle Infield, because you can never have enough of those guys. Why is 3b so high? Would be a pretty bad testament to their scouting of Burger last year.

Two things: - in today's KLaw chat, he said Hankins seems to be the top rated guy as of now in the whole draft - with Kiley McDaniel back at fangraphs, I expect we'll get better draft tidbits heading into the draft than last year

QUOTE (daggins @ Jan 31, 2018 -> 11:45 PM) Yup. My exact thoughts when I saw this thread title - High Upside Middle Infielders and Left Handed Starting Pitching. I'm hoping Eierman just goes bonkers this year and becomes a top 5 pick. In the games I saw last year, he was more impressive than Burger by a gigantic amount.

Seise?

Time for Brock to go away. Main event matches with him are unwatchable despite how great Braun is

Men's RR was very good

Having the women's rumble go on last is the dumbest thing I've ever seen

QUOTE (Soxnfins @ Jan 27, 2018 -> 09:02 PM) They are so signing one of the big FAs next year. He was probably talking about Cespedes in the offer above. Tanaka

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jan 26, 2018 -> 11:14 PM) wow, that's a great update and perhaps lends more credence to the "minor" version of his shoulder surgery story the Sox are selling. Hell, if he's already starting his throwing program you'd think he's only a few weeks behind. Maybe a May debut? He said tonight he hopes to be ready by ASB. So he will probably be ready by 2021

Brewers insider claiming they are working on two trades. Santana to an AL team tomorrow and one other.

Braun is going nowhere. They will trade Santana for pitching.

The insider has been correct from the Brewers site so far, thus Yu probably going to Cubs

Diaz was also easily available for Brewers once they drafted Hiura

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jan 26, 2018 -> 12:33 AM) Nah- Eloy, Dunning, and Rutherford/Adolfo. Hansen is a much better prospect than Diaz. Hansen higher ranked than Harrison but Brinson equally higher ranked than Robert

Would you agree Sox equivalent is Robert, Hansen and Rutherford?

If they only would have traded Ecreg, Dane Dunning would be happiest man alive

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 25, 2018 -> 11:14 PM) So Brinson for Yolmer isn't going to fly. Damn. How about for Phillips?

Similar return to what the Sox got for Eaton in terms of quality

Chain reaction of moves to follow for Brewers. Santana likely to be dealt, maybe for Salazar.
