QUOTE (shysocks @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 09:18 AM) http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-teams-w...d-money-in-mlb/ A little dated maybe (I know San Diego has probably jumped onto this list). Nobody mentioned Cleveland. The White Sox would have shot up this list now with the removals of Danks, Latos, and Rollins.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 05:37 AM) They're just names until they at least reach Winston-Salem...or start showing up in the Top 10 list (Adolfo briefly made it, but probably wouldn't have in most systems with a lot of depth/talent) Whether it's 50, 100 or 150 names, doesn't matter unless we can see what other teams thought they were worth or what other teams were willing to invest in them if the Sox didn't sign them first... And what were the signing bonuses for all those players, compared to the rest of MLB team expenditures internationally in the last 3 years? It's not the ONLY indicator, but it's an important one. Ynoa and Sano, for example, were the two highest paid out of the Dominican the year they both signed. Ynoa actually set a record with his bonus. And that was the sound of the goal posts being moved, yet again.

Quintana adding to his major league leading NDAR tonight.

QUOTE (CB2.0 @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 09:55 PM) Someone mentioned pitchforks tomorrow.... Defnitely bringing mine. If that turd gives up more than 2 runs in the 1st or more than 3 before 5, I don't want to see him again in the rotation. And the pre-mature bitter award goes to...

:wub:

Kasnas City special right there.

Come on Q.

Looking at the replay of Frazier's homer, that is almost exactly where he hit #20 last night.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 08:00 PM) Told ya.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 07:59 PM) Time for Todd to tie. 21 Jump Street. That is the most homers ever for a Sox player before the ASG.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 07:37 PM) sample bias, lol. Sox have a much lower "N" value. Considering that is a 3:2 ratio, I can't see the Red Sox having that many more base runners to make that ratio equal.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 07:31 PM) That you think the last 2 drafts have been good is an opinion, not a fact. How's Fulmer looking, in your opinion? We're investing internationally? The Cubs, RedSox etc invest. I believe Hahn himself said that he's paying a whopping one big bonus. That's not an investment - that's doing the minimum. But you asked for facts: 4 players for 1 season of Shark A top 100, a CF who raked (possible NL rookie of year) and another prospect for 2 years of Frazier. Hopefully Frazier can hit .220 Two pitching prospects for sub .700 OPS Lawrie Signed Keppinger, Latos, Rollins, and Bonificaio ($3 mill!!!!) all of whom had to be DFAd. Also signed Beckham for $2 million Gave De Aza and Thornton away for nothing; both had productive years left. Traded Rios for Leury Garcia; Rios helped the Royals win he Worlds Series. Signed Adam Laroche. Horrible, then put on a clownact, and Hahn's boss had to step in and fix the clubhouse. Signed Albers, and Duke, both of whom have been mediocre Robertson has done his job. Signed Melky Cabrera - okay this year, terrible last year; can't play defense Kept Ventura and Cooper around Traded for Shields 63, 73, and 76 wins under his leadership. 1 post-season in a decade from he and Williams. There are some facts for you. The people ignoring the facts are the supporters of Hahn and Willaims I love how you loaded a post about facts, with a ton of your own opinions, and then called them facts Thanks for making my point.

For reference's sake that is the 32nd runner the Red Sox have lost on the bases this year. The White Sox have lost 23.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 07:27 PM) "Flip a coin" Hawk just said about this umpire & his called strikes. He's right though. This guy has been awful.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 07:17 PM) Yes, you can blame f***ing Lawrie. He gets an out there and that changes the whole f***ing inning. Sure, but Q could have made pitches at any point along the way too.

Nice range by Anderson to get to that ball and start the DP. I don't know what anyone else has seen, but he is a much better defender than I envisioned.

Q didn't do himself any favors either this inning.

And Q gives it right back.

A hit? Um, ok. That is a fielders choice at best.

And Lawrie gives away a DP. Darn it. Nice play to get to it, bad play on that flip angle.

3 walks for Q.

That is the kind of gift I like.

With his swing, I can see Anderson having a lot of trouble with that high fastball.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 06:54 PM) Haha false hawk homer call Eh, its sad. His eyes having gotten so bad.
