QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Aug 27, 2013 -> 02:00 PM) There was conversation on the radio Sunday morning talking about the great cub rebuild and the consensus was that they are still four to five years away from contending. 2015 is the year they're looking to start contending from all accounts. They have 4 of the top 21 prospects in baseball according to Kiley McDaniel...ouch http://sbb.scout.com/2/1320072.html

Oh darn...does Avi ever make contact when he takes his home run swing?

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 27, 2013 -> 04:29 AM) Absolutely. I don't think anyone is arguing that. And of course Houston bullpen making things interesting. Zeid's fastball couldn't have been more straight

Why is Hawk complaining it bounced over the fence? If it doesn't do that, PK is held to a single.

I think all 7 fans in the outfield tonight have caught a home run ball

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 27, 2013 -> 03:16 AM) DOMINGUEZ! Can't get up in arms yet.. Houston's bullpen still has to pitch one more inning. (at least) Nice trade by the Marlins last year giving him up for Carlos Lee....not

Wow, insane power by Carter there. The Sox desperately need to add more power to this roster.

Poor Rienzo...Petricka has a ton of work to do on that slider.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Aug 27, 2013 -> 03:30 AM) Impressive arm Mr Petricka Inconsistent command of his offspeed stuff. I like the movement on his heater.

Beckham under .230 since ASB, including .217 when batting 2nd.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Aug 27, 2013 -> 03:24 AM) Blah. Get it together Houston. I'll be shocked if Sox don't sweep this series. With regards to draft pick slot, just have to hope for an awful road trip.

This pitcher = bad

Carter hit that ball a very long way. Rienzo gonna have to gain some velocity on that fastball to pitch the way he wants to.

Quite the packed house tonight. It's comical hearing Stone and Hawk rip on De Aza every chance they get.

Kiley McDaniel has Erik Johnson ranked 37th in all of baseball http://sbb.scout.com/2/1319654.html

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 26, 2013 -> 01:17 AM) I'd like to have a better record than the Cubs....because Cubs fans are stupid and really care about that stuff and thus make me care about it I hate the Cubs more than anyone....and I hope they go on a 10 game win streak and the Sox lose 10 in a row. If we had a top 3 farm system and not a bottom 3 farm system, I might feel different.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 26, 2013 -> 01:47 AM) Cubs will get the third pick. Yep, the 13th inning in this game was just about the craziest I've ever seen.

May and Anderson playing some exciting ball of late

Is Hawkins the most disappointing offensive prospect in baseball this year? Cody Buckel is probably the most disappointing pitching prospect in the minors.

Any update on A. Garcia? And I still can't believe teams thought Garza was going to be an ace.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 25, 2013 -> 01:00 PM) Law always liked Hawkins -- which is interesting, because he is very much like Avisail Garcia, who he doesn't like How are those two similar? One has a very good hit tool but power is in question, and the other has good power but a very questionable hit tool.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 25, 2013 -> 05:42 AM) Why was I shocked Gillaspie went yard? Not a big fan as of the home run at bat. Average defender and .250ish hitter. Hope he improves. The homer was nice. So PK is a good defender in your book and Gillaspie is an average defender?

Casper Wells on the mound again tonight!

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Aug 25, 2013 -> 03:59 AM) And in other news Mitchell whiffed four times in four at bats. Any chance he simply quits? It's simply amazing how bad the outfield prospects have played this year.

Nathaniel Stoltz ‏@stoltz_baseball 7m Kannapolis RHP Francellis Montas 93-96, T97. The 97 came in his sixth and final inning. Cutter/slider 83-89, CH 82-84.
