QUOTE (bmags @ May 17, 2017 -> 12:35 PM) I also went in Dec, glad I saw that first Chicago Burr. He was excellent, but obviously it's a good part as most people say Burr is best. Not the first time I have heard Chicago Hamilton was better. Manuel-Miranda's voice isn't the best. I saw Wayne Brady as Burr. He was PERFECT for the smarmy politician parts in the first half of the play, and his voice and stage presence were outstanding. I wasn't as impressed with the last parts when he was supposed to be angry and bitter. King George was actually my favorite character and actor, followed by Brady. Also big fan of George Washington and the Skyler sisters.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 15, 2017 -> 11:05 AM) Did anybody find Hamilton overrated? Or was it the GOAT broadway type show you've seen? Absolutely the best show I have ever seen. I was blown away by it. Everything about it was masterful and perfect.

Chuck Garfien‏Verified account @ChuckGarfien 7m7 minutes ago White Sox bullpen last night: 4 innings, 0 runs, 0 hits, 2 walks, 7 strikeouts. Their 2.29 ERA is 2nd lowest in majors.

QUOTE (oldsox @ May 12, 2017 -> 01:21 PM) I think you are wrong, Rowand. I might have said something like that before the two off season trades, certainly not since then. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...p;#entry3502072

Does fooling almost half of the country into voting for you count as smart? I'd call him one of the best con artists ever.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 12, 2017 -> 12:08 PM) If we get a big offer for him, you absolutely move him. Relief help is so volatile, and we have so many arms in the system right now. If someone is willing to pay up for one of our relievers, back up the truck and move them. To expound, I am hoping for something along the Ken Giles deal.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 12, 2017 -> 12:07 PM) He's definitely an interesting case. Shouldn't be in a rush to trade him but at the same time there's at least a chance his mechanics fall apart and he gets hit around again. If it's me I think I'm taking the chance of holding onto him unless you get blown away with an offer right now. If we get a big offer for him, you absolutely move him. Relief help is so volatile, and we have so many arms in the system right now. If someone is willing to pay up for one of our relievers, back up the truck and move them.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 12, 2017 -> 11:50 AM) Have a batch of prospect injury updates, from various sources... --Alex Call took swings in the cage earlier this week, and is close to a return --Victor Diaz went to DL with shoulder soreness, and recently had a setback. Is rehabbing in AZ. --Jordan Stephens is throwing in Ext ST, should be back soon. --Corey Zangari had Tommy John surgery, so he's likely out for the year. That sucks. Was looking forward his progress this year.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ May 12, 2017 -> 10:16 AM) I think the Cubs do trade Candelario this season but they could probably do better than Gonzalez. For a straight up deal? I mean if they go up in levels of SP's the price isn't going to be just the one prospect, it will be multiple ones. The deadline has gotten expensive to shop at.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 11, 2017 -> 09:57 PM) I've been dark from the site of late, but don't worry I love you dorks. Anyway, a couple years back I discussed the hard decision to take a new job. Said job was for a company that promoted me to Vice President of Marketing a couple weeks back. I made the right choice. Congrats man!

QUOTE (fathom @ May 11, 2017 -> 09:51 PM) Just for fun, Kieboom didn't play today But Robertson did.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 11, 2017 -> 11:48 AM) I like Fulmer but Lopez has much better stuff so that's why on some lists he's going to be ranked significantly higher than Carson. They both have similar stuff. They are small starting pitchers who use some funk and deception to create angles and have mid90's fastballs at the top end. I think Lopez hits the zone a tick or two faster than Fulmer, but the developmental paths are very different which does effect the rankings. I fully believe if Fulmer has taken a more traditional path through the minors and racked up big numbers against inferior competition he would be talked about a lot more highly than he is.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ May 11, 2017 -> 11:00 AM) Fulmer has been pretty solid so far in AAA this season, and I think he is starting to redeem himself after being rushed to the majors last year. If he keeps pitching like he is capable of he should be in the top 100 midseason for sure Dunning and Hansen are just outside the top 100 I think I wonder if Fulmer has worked himself into being the next starting pitcher called up?

QUOTE (kevo880 @ May 11, 2017 -> 10:52 AM) Agreed, but for Lopez to be at #23 and Fulmer not ranked just doesn't seem right to me. I know the shine is off of Fulmer because of last year, but it is my guess they have pretty similar careers.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 11, 2017 -> 10:29 AM) The IOC is just desperate for a city to sign and agree to host the Olympics, so many cities are finally saying, "Thanks, but no thanks". Hosting the Olympics is like owning a boat, it's fun for everyone involved except for the owner who has to pay for everything. With all of the cities dropping out for the 2024 they must really be scared to be trying to pull this off.

QUOTE (kevo880 @ May 11, 2017 -> 10:28 AM) Surprised Carson Fulmer isn't on this list. I understand why Burdi isn't, but think he should be. Dunning and Hansen have to be close to the top 100. Fulmer did a lot of damage to his standing last year. He is going to have to do some big things to over come that for rankings sake. Hansen has to be a fun debate for these kinds of lists. I mean he has ace stuff, put a lot of work to do to get there. He has turned around, but still has big issues when he gets into about the middle of games keeping his mechanics and stuff.
