Sox and Jays 6/16 game thread
QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 17, 2017 -> 01:31 AM) I think that's true to some extent, but there simply aren't many of those guys available. Someone would have ponied up for Q IMO. Sure but it was never going to be a package "between that of Sale and Eaton"

Post Draft - Top Prospect List
QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 16, 2017 -> 09:30 PM) I don't know Fisher's defensive report, but power and all I'd have a hard time putting Skoug ahead of fisher given that Fisher has produced so far and that so few think Skoug can stick at C. To me, Fisher has been slightly disappointing this year. Not a bust by any means, but his hitting should be better in A ball.

Sox and Jays 6/16 game thread
QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 17, 2017 -> 01:25 AM) What really sucks is there are multiple farm rich teams looking for a starter including the Dodgers. If Quintana was his vintage self, we'd almost certainly get a nice haul. To me, I just don't think Q is the type of pitcher that other teams will sell the farm for. Teams want the guy with big velocity that they project will dominate in the postseason

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 17, 2017 -> 12:23 AM) And that's ultimately fine...but I'm IMPATIENT! TRADE SOMEONE! I really hope Nats don't give up anyone good if they get Herrera

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 17, 2017 -> 12:20 AM) Yeah, no reason to move Q unless you get something like you would have at the beginning of the season. And if the packages offered were as mediocre as Hahn makes it seems, then he is going nowhere

Q sucks so much this year
-
Nationals acquire Doolittle/Madson from As
So Jackson is on the Nats and Holmberg on the Sox

Also why is Bummer so high and Guerrero so low?

Post Draft - Top Prospect List
Stephens way too low, Diaz way too high. Burdi as a reliever is way too high as well

Tommy Kahnle
Don't forget it's possible the Rockies org hates Kahnle

Tommy Kahnle
QUOTE (striker @ Jun 16, 2017 -> 04:03 PM) I'd love to see a White Sox/Rockies blockbuster. Q + Kahnle for Rodgers, Dahl, Hoffman, Pint, Murphy Why would Col do that? Hoffman might be more valuable than Q now. Rodgers is a top 5 prospect. Colorado has strong pitching depth for now.

Burdi looked pretty damn good

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 16, 2017 -> 02:20 AM) Charlotte back playing. Another K looking for Moncada. Seems to be struggling to get around on fastballs. No doubt his thumb is bugging him

Tommy Kahnle
QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 16, 2017 -> 01:53 AM) We just drafted like 7 of those Give me a comp? Well I saw a bleacher report article that compared him to Kipnis without defense/speed

Tommy Kahnle
QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 16, 2017 -> 02:48 AM) What is this sudden fascination with Calhoun? Why are we targeting a DH? Big time hitter but no position to play. He will definitely be available as Dodgers have no place to put him

Sox minor league relievers have not been shy about letting inherited runners score for our starting prospects

Tommy Kahnle
QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 16, 2017 -> 01:40 AM) If he keeps this up until the deadline, he'll be plenty valuable. The more I think about it, the more I think he's a chip we need to cash in. Agreed, if he has similar value to that of a mid-tier closer, then jump on it. Kahnle for Calhoun seems like an optimal trade for Hahn

W-S is not good. Really bad game for Collins

Updated teams interested in Q
Calhoun' defense is rumored to be non-existent. I do think we are jumping the gun big time on this, as Heyman also made it seem like there have been no talks at all between the teams

Hansen needs to be in W-S....sounds like it should be soon according to Hostetler's podcast today with chuck

6/15 Games
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 16, 2017 -> 01:32 AM) The question is can Fulmer even have enough control going all out for a couple of innings to be another Addison Reed? If he's throwing 94-97, his mechanics are going to be all over the place with that delivery of his. Stephens, two more scoreless innings so far. Pointless to mention offense for BIRM. I just think Fulmer's stuff has backed up so much, he's never going to be a big league contributor. Don't forget the lack of velocity improvement last year when he was in the pen. To me, he's fallen behind Stephens and Guerrero as a prospect

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 16, 2017 -> 01:14 AM) I agree. Right before he gave up the homer, I was thinking that he doesn't look in control of what he's doing. It's throw the ball and hope. Opposition takes great swings off of him
-

Fulmer is highly unimpressive. Lucky he hasn't given up 3-4 runs already. Not MLB starting caliber to me

Updated teams interested in Q
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

O's and Sox "getaway day" game thread
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
