QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 18, 2014 -> 07:32 PM) Did he go on his own or did McEwing send him I didn't see an angle that showed Joe.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 18, 2014 -> 07:30 PM) Questionable decision to send him there with Abreu up next. That was super shallow anyway.

and there goes the run.

Eaton's front leg didn't hit the plate, as far as I can tell.

Clint Longenecker ‏@Clint_BA 5m Early indications are that 10 teams went over bonus pool and will pay the overage tax. White Sox, Cubs and Pirates spent most over pool 5 highest spending teams in 2014 draft: No. 1 Marlins, No. 2 White Sox and No. 3 Blue Jays, No. 4 Cubs and No. 5 Royals.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 18, 2014 -> 04:36 PM) Can you think of another team probably in the mix for a top five pick that this hurts? It hurts anyone who doesn't finish with the worst record, as they will all be picking one pick lower now.

Larry Stone ‏@StoneLarry 12s Sorry, folks, fooled by fake account. Stand down.

Ha, I didn't even think of how this could screw over the Cubs. Awesome. Ben Badler ‏@BenBadler 14m Downstream, this hurts teams like the Cubs, Rangers, and others in the mix for a top five pick next year. Everyone gets bumped down.

What could be really interesting is if there is a grievance filed on behalf of Nix, the Astros lose, and they lose their #1 pick next year.

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosennthal 45s #Sources: Hearing #Rays and #Mariners are in SERIOUS discussions about a trade involving LHP David Price and IF/OF Ben Zobrist. Deal close.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jul 18, 2014 -> 04:28 PM) Lol, people tend to be less receptive to negotiation when you try to f*** them over. That's the crazy thing about re-neging on an agreement. It makes people less likely to want to make a deal with you.

Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN 1m Team officials guesstimated this week that if Brady Aiken was a free agent, he'd get something in the range of $30m-$40m. What a system.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 18, 2014 -> 04:14 PM) As I acknowledged, there is none...But this is just such a rare occurrence so there's no history to go back on. The Sox actually lost two players that way. They were no where near signing them when it happened.

Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisMLB 1m Baseball source: Mac Marshall did NOT sign w/@Astros. Don't know if that means Aiken didn't sign, or signed for too much. @MLBDraft

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Jul 18, 2014 -> 04:08 PM) Served as a reminder that Coop couldn't fix everybody. The fact that Dylan Axelrod pitched in the majors with the crap for stuff that he has is a testament to the job someone is doing.

Erik Boland ‏@eboland11 6m Cashman: Sabathia to undergo season-ending surgery on right knee July 23. Not the micro fracture surgery, but a "cleanup" procedure

Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 9m Alexei Ramirez in lineup, hitting 2nd. Said before All-Star Game he was worried about how his back would respond. Felt great. #WhiteSox

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 18, 2014 -> 03:48 PM) https://twitter.com/KendallRogersPG/status/...236328701726721 Save the "not a surprise" posts. Any chance to sign him evaporated when Rodon got his deal.

THE SECOND HALF BEGINS!!!

QUOTE (farmteam @ Jul 18, 2014 -> 02:43 PM) IIRC the Matt Carlino situation was handled really poorly as well, though that was about 5 years ago now. There is zero consistency in these situations. A few schools recruit harder than John Calipari, and less clean. Some of the situations where nothing is done are just ridiculous. They need to clean this up, and clean it up quick.

FutureSox.com ‏@FutureSox 40m Courtney Hawkins & Jason Coats of @WSDashBaseball both in top 6 of Carolina League in SLG, OPS, HR and RBI.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 18, 2014 -> 01:58 PM) Cameron doesn't seem to be aware Abreu can (and almost certainly will) opt into arbitration He can't until at least his 3rd year, and unless the contract scale changes drastically, it won't be worth it until probably his 4th year.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 18, 2014 -> 01:20 PM) Assuming, as we must do, that Rose is healthy, what is the Bulls glaring weakness? True second and third options in the offense who can create their own scoring opportunities. The Bulls are better offensively, but still aren't "good".

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 18, 2014 -> 01:17 PM) I really don't see why not to be honest....There's no history there to say they would or would not do such a thing. What history do the White Sox have to indicate that they would do this?

That top 10 is looking better and better. Especially when you put Rodon at the top, and slide everyone else down.
