I've kind of stated my preference that I'm not sure we need to do a full firesale. Right now, we aren' tmaking the playoffs with a closer. I do feel like best course is to, though, part with Q. Trading away Robertson/Melky/Duke may not net more than some high rated A players. We have some key talent looking to come up in 2018, and hopefully we can trust our talent identifiers and development to see our pitching talent fill in our rotation. But more, hopefully our latin am players buoy our system that by 2018 we can sell the farm for a player thats ACTUALLY going to put us over the top.

Was really happy for Scott, was rooting for him to get the MLB pension. Aside from this year, he maxed out himself for this org. Got the most out of his talent.

Nice Duke, way to keep your trade value high.

Also in bonifacio's short sample size he was horrible defensively and an idiot on the base paths. Saladino when he isn't hitting is still good everywhere else. But hey, keep up the bonifacio as a white sox fan club.

The fans at winston salem deserve this fun.

I'd add Jennings too. MiGo is the guy you trade for a younger starter down on his luck that you think you can turn around to strike gold for.

Everyone of her robots makes me LOL.

If a troll tweets cuck, but there is no twitter, does it make a scream? edit: still the best

At least the second part lends to "Trump wouldn't be so bad" because, he's only interested in the celebrity of president.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jul 20, 2016 -> 09:29 AM) The perception in Chicago Sports Media (not the reality) is that the Cubs rebuilt their franchise on blowing everything up and building their minor league system. While a number of good Cubs players went through their minor league system and the Cubs appear to have drafted well, the Cubs FO found a great deal of success making moves that don't involve the farm system. I think that's disengenous to them. The demand on the sox that they begin competing very quickly into a rebuild forced them to be buyers in a lot of sellers markets, where they could have received surplus value for some pieces (as we saw in late fall of 2014). But yes, great, cubs didn't draft all of their players. Who cares. We know the narrative by now. You can't rebuild! The Royals were bad for a long time! The Pirates were bad for a while! Yeah they were bad because they had a terrible front office and plan, then they put in good people and are good. I expect the owner to demand good people to do good work as well.

I've never seen this kind of pressure from Chicago media to sell off before

That doesn't sound like that much.

Sooooo for all the bad things that the dems will have to say about Trump I'm going to guess nobody says he's allied with satan. But can't wait for more #bothsides.

Winston Salem seems to have hit a lot better last 2 weeks, Collins aside.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jul 19, 2016 -> 03:37 PM) Are we living in a Twilight Zone episode? This same sentiment has been repeated year after year.....and we're in exactly the same position. So we'll be entering 2017 yet again having to fill offensive holes via trade and the scrap heap. It doesn't work out for us, and looking at our record since 2005 few ideas for roster construction have worked. You know the one idea we haven't tried? Selling players with high value! If Hahn fails at receiving high value, which many are afraid of, so be it. He'll be embarrassed, then fired and we'll start over. It's a risk I'd be willing to accept. Continuing on this course of mediocrity will not change our fortunes. And honestly, if the results of the tradeline thread is any indication, a large portion of the fanbase would support selling. Yeah I know....sample size, we're a passionate segment of the fanbase, but assuming the overall result holds true, I don't think many would be upset with selling players like Quintana, Sale if we received good value. Even if it meant conceeding on the season and perhaps the next A very very scientific espn1000 tweet on what the sox should do saw 80% say blow it up.

Shipps did you ever catch Summer League fever?

Their rotations were such a mess last year. If they can clean that up, they'll be better even if they are somehow less athletic. Their communication sucked.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 19, 2016 -> 12:21 PM) Nate Silver did some analysis on the NBA draft picks and somehow projected Valentine as like the 3rd or 4th best player in terms of value over the next 5 years (I think it was 5 years). No idea what basis went into it, but thought I'd point it out. Simmons and Dunn were #1 / #2. I have little doubt that he can contribute offensively but pretty worried defensively. He was probably tired this tourney but he looks stiff as a board.

Dude celebrated pretty much like Rose after the cleveland 3pter.

Ugh, a FULL recap. Thanks "Google".
