QUOTE (Bruce_Blixton @ Jun 26, 2017 -> 12:14 PM) The similarities between Yan Gomes and Seby are getting eerie, both were athletic players in college that played multiple positions but ended up being drafted as catchers. Both were drafted later in the draft and not considered top prospects and now both appear to be blocked within their respective systems by top catching prospects. (Gomes was blocked by Travis D'Arnaud in TOR and Zavala being blocked by Collins.) Now I'm not saying that Zavala is going to turn out to be Gomes but they do have a lot of similarities. Hopefully Hahn is smart enough to give Zavala time to develop and even surpass Collins rather than trade him away for peanuts like TOR did with Gomes. Zach Collins isn't blocking anyone at this point.

Those of us in northern IL won't get a complete eclipse, but NASA has a nifty app that shows how it'll look where you're at. http://www.wlwt.com/article/this-is-how-th...em:+New+Content The coolest place around to check this out might just be Klingman's dome in the Smoky Mountains.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 26, 2017 -> 11:42 AM) i really dont understand what Rizzo is doing. This bullpen construction looks like a rebuilding team throwing together a pen, not a team that has a playoff worthy offense and starting pitching It is the same thing the Tigers did during their run. I mean if you are going to spend like that, just spend a bit more and do it right.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 26, 2017 -> 11:30 AM) I give this rebuild a Dan Quisenberry out of Ivan Calderon, with the potential for it to be a George Bell or even a LaMarr Hoyt. This is a Tuffy Rhodes of a post.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jun 23, 2017 -> 11:53 PM) Very solid offer, small bump up financially but a great opportunity in a company that is rock solid financially and I absolutely loved the people I interviewed with. Planning on accepting Monday. The team I'm on is about 4-5 times the size of my current team, it's pretty crazy. And I'll be the product manager for the technology, so hands off and focused on design, prioritization, user experience, etc. Very excited to hopefully make impactful changes.

QUOTE (SonofaRoache @ Jun 26, 2017 -> 10:02 AM) This rebuild is a 4 until I see a trade involving players that didn't anger the Front Office. So far we've only traded away Eaton and Sale. We probably lost a lot of value not trading Q earlier so hopefully he can have another dominate month leading to the trade deadline to get us a top 50 prospect. People still believe this?

This thread is more pre-mature than a virgin on prom night.

Any name other than Renteria is going to be wrong. If he isn't the manager, something went horribly wrong.

Mark Buehrle in a softball league is the least surprising thing ever.

Nate Jones has felt pain-free for the past three or four days. He was being checked by the team doctor today and hopes to get ok to throw Per Scott Merkin via twitter.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 23, 2017 -> 04:38 PM) I'm pretty sure it's because of the link in the Soxtalk Facts post to the penis thread. I'm also pretty sure that's the best sentence I've written in at least 3 years. 3?

Nothing has changed. Your view must have been altered.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 23, 2017 -> 10:54 AM) Also LSU is still playing too, so the Kiel report can't really be correct. MLB office would not allow it, nor would NCAA. They may have, indirectly and under the table, agreed to parameters. That's what I was going off of with them being at the same school, I just assumed they must have lost... Oops.
