QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 10:45 AM) oh pls.... in this area, they were lucky for many reasons. all the reasons came and worked. they were able to sign him and he fully developed as hope...... this is all luck. pls look as it was a subjective point of view. If this is luck, then you have to classify the lack of bats coming out of our system as "bad luck". I am not willing to do that either.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 10:40 AM) no??? can you pls explain. They weren't lucky at all. They scouted and developed a guy that many were afraid was either destined to be a reliever, or would have major arm surgery by now into one of the best pitchers in all of baseball. That isn't luck.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 10:32 AM) the sox were extremely lucky in drafting the #1 pitcher in Sale and signed him to an extension. now add the fact that the sox has the potential to a full set of sp's, and at this point, it maybe too early, but i don't really see a weak link. but the sox needs hitters to really set up the team with the other half of what a team needs, again hitters. so do the sox sacrifice pitchers to fill in other area of needs, who is to say, the sox will be able to get their #1 wish list. No they weren't.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 10:00 AM) The best way would be to save money with Fulmer, thought that is probably not very realistic. For example, if you can get Fulmer to take $3 million, you can make about a million dollar offer to the 4th round pick, even if you save no money is rounds 5-10.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 10:23 AM) but if that was the only payment they needed to make, that is not a bad payment. in the playoff, every team needs a #1 starter. Ours is going to cost us only $46 million over the next four years. That won't even get you two years of Lester.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 10:04 AM) Brian Malone ‏@ChiCityBrian 1h1 hour ago Most G with 12+ strikeouts since 2012: 1. Sale, 13 2. Darvish, 8 3. Hernandez, 7 3. Kluber 7 3. Scherzer, 7 6. Verlander, 6 6. Price, 6 The crazy thing is that two of the guys on the list haven't pitched in MLB this year.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 10:19 AM) now, i can envision other teams asking for an overpayment. the sox has a nice set of sp's in depth and supply. but still, it is good to develop your own positional depth..... look at the freaking norhtside and their pos players. And they had to spend $155 million for one SP.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 10:05 AM) With the Sox picking Fulmer and the collection of arms the Sox have, I really hope they get after some hitters. At some point, this organization will have to develop some hitting. If you have pitching, you can trade for hitting. Ask Avi Garcia and Adam Eaton.

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 8h8 hours ago Chris Sale had 25 swings and misses among his pitches according to @brooksbaseball. #WhiteSox

Brian Malone ‏@ChiCityBrian 1h1 hour ago Most G with 12+ strikeouts since 2012: 1. Sale, 13 2. Darvish, 8 3. Hernandez, 7 3. Kluber 7 3. Scherzer, 7 6. Verlander, 6 6. Price, 6

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 09:50 AM) So what's the best way to do this? If they sign 4 college seniors for $10,000 each that leaves them $1,566, 900 for their other 3 picks. What can they push it to in order to not lose a pick? The best way would be to save money with Fulmer, thought that is probably not very realistic.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 08:06 AM) Here's the Kiley article in full: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-black-s...fting-pitchers/ If Fulmer doesn't have a nickname, I vote for the Black Swan.

The team didn't even look bad, they just missed a couple of golden opportunities in the first period and it ended up costing them. Tampa was more lucky than good last night. The score could have been 4-1 Hawks last night, and it wouldn't have shocked me with the chances the teams had.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 09:25 AM) What's the most they could possibly give Matuella in the 4th round? Depends on what we can save other places. Here are our slots Rd 1 $3,470,600 Rd 4 $508,000 Rd 5 $380,400 Rd 6 $284,800 Rd 7 $213,400 Rd 8 $174,800 Rd 9 $163,200 Rd 10 $152,300 Total $5,347,500

Now things get interesting. With the Sox stick to slot, or reach on a guy, and then draft some college seniors? Top 10 rated players on the board starting day 2, according to MLB. http://m.mlb.com/news/article/129483104/hi...as-day-2-awaits

At what point do we wonder if the reason he doesn't have a managerial job yet is that he has some sort of character flaw that teams aren't comfortable with?

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 08:11 AM) Today should be pretty interesting, hoping some of these names fall to the Sox. Matuella's medicals must be really bad. Or he told teams an outrageous demand.

Even on a night where Chris Sale is other worldly, The Misery Crew is here to take a sledgehammer to people's ankles. Thanks to all of the Kathy Bates' of So talk.

:wub:

Garcia has so much of Magglio's swing in him.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 09:09 PM) I don't believe Alexei had a chance there He didn't unless Paul Konerko was running.

It is going to be rain delay theater now.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 07:00 PM) Can we please put Fulmer and Rodon on the top of SoxTalk instead of Samardzija? At least Rodon... Sure... get to work on the banner.
