His right side swing(at the moment) eerily reminds me of Jose Valentin's. He's also 22 and can obviously improve that a ton. We'll see.

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 02:26 PM) Why is it so hard for some here to understand greg's argument? He is rating the rebuild process entirely by the on field results of the White Sox. It's extremely short sighted and easy to disagree with (as I do), but it's not that hard to understand that he's rating the rebuild a 2 right now because the 2016 White Sox are 45-70. Everyone "understands" greg's argument. Everyone is just saying it makes no sense.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 11:46 AM) Why are you guys so pro front office and pro management? I mean you're the one who thinks Hahn has put together the best team of all time for 2020 already.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 11:16 AM) Taking my kids to see their first baseball game! Hopefully they see a White Sox no-hitter. Have fun!

Very cool.

I always support pushing prospects. I would have been fine with him or Seby going to Bham.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Aug 14, 2017 -> 09:03 PM) Yea Danish seems more like the guy who the Sox make a pitching coach in Great Falls or something. I was really excited for him when we drafted him but maybe it's just not meant to be. Foulke 2.0 Man that would be awesome.

flavum got his thread in first so I'm going to use this one. Collins has his ops back over .800.

Is there any other thing besides the one rumor connecting Kemp and the Sox?

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Aug 14, 2017 -> 08:01 AM) Do really really need another 25 year old AAAA outfielder to throw in the mix in Kemp? We currently have a ton of those guys in Garcia, Engel, Liriano, Tilsen, Polo, Cordell, Delmonico, Polo, etc. I don't think it's fair to say any of those guys are AAAA players just yet. Could they all be? Absolutely but the idea with some of these lesser trades might be to acquire these type of guys because one of them might actually hit.

To answer the original question in this thread, I still think the most realistic timeline is 2020. That said, I'm not going to be shocked if it happens in 2019 and I'm not going to be shocked if it takes until 2021. The fact that there's so much talent but also so many questions marks just makes it impossible to actually know.

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Aug 14, 2017 -> 08:04 AM) 1) Clippard was just moved to Houston. Another salary dump. The recent trades with KC, Yankees and Tampa Bay were nothing but salary dumps. The team traded Dan Jennings to Tampa bay for absolutely nothing. We now have Bummer as our only lefty in the bullpen. And he can't get anybody out. 2) I read yesterday that the White Sox are contemplating moving Avi Garcia and Abreu this off season. I have no doubt in my mind that both of them will be moved for prospects. More salary dumps. The team now has the worse pitching staff in MLB. Without Avi Garcia and Abreu we will have the worse offense in MLB And the lowest payroll in MLB. Are you even following what's happening?

QUOTE (Real @ Aug 13, 2017 -> 02:27 AM) yeah, the constant word diarrhea I'm forced to read here can do that. How do you think the rest of us feel having to read your awful posts lately...

QUOTE (danman31 @ Aug 13, 2017 -> 01:19 AM) I'm starting to think we see Eloy as a September call up next year. The way he is hitting is crazy. If he can come close to this level next year in AA, why not give him a few at-bats at the end of what is likely to be another bad White Sox season? What do we think the ETA on Kopech is? There's no rush, but there's a decent chance he'll be one of the five best starting pitchers in the organization come spring training next year. Kopech is already one of the top 5 pitchers in the organization imo. With both of these guys I think you see what's happening with the organization come June or so next year. I have no problem keeping both of them down in the minors until 2019, I also have no problem getting both of them to the majors sometime mid next year. I know people don't want to rush things but these two guys are timeline changers as far as the rebuild goes.

Since Eloy has been in the organization I think him and Kopech have put up the best numbers of all time ha.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 12, 2017 -> 07:51 PM) Eloy, good lord Ha touché

Good lord Eloy

Kopech and Eloy are silly good. This is nuts.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 12, 2017 -> 06:47 PM) It's to the point that 1-3 with a walk seems like a bad game Joked with a Cubs fan buddy of mine(who is a smart baseball fan) that it was his worst game with us so far. Actually might be true ha. Ps I agree with you on Blake.

What would happen if Kopech faced Eloy?

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 12, 2017 -> 06:42 PM) Eloy beasting Beyond incredible right now.

You make me laugh, greg.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 12, 2017 -> 09:25 AM) I get to go to another Shields start. What fun. I went to like 4 or 5 Scott Schoeneweis starts in 2004. That was fun.

This game needs more ReyLo.

QUOTE (Quin @ Aug 12, 2017 -> 10:12 AM) Hush, Anderson32 That's some high praise. Thank you.
