Can we talk about the Sox leading MLB with 14 home grown players on their roster?

I don't think you will get a clear answer to this, just because the nature of big data is proprietary and non-public. I think there are definitely points where the Sox usage of data spills out into the public domain, such as a couple of their draft picks getting their scouting data talked about during the course of the draft. If they are getting that deep into the woods in scouting, I have no doubt they are getting WAY deeper internally.

So 2-3 guys over two generations? That doesn't seem like habitually to me, especially when you balance out the Quintana and Eaton trades in just the last few years.

Habitually?

And if the report of the pricing being something like Matt Foster is true, that should also answer the question about is the price too high.

Or drug restrictions. Or immigration restrictions. Or the draft. Or voting restrictions. Or prisons in general... So on and so on.

Nice try, but no. He outed himself years ago.

Pretty sure this thread isn't about "communism" but nice try. It also isn't about your seeming to misunderstand what "freedom of speech" actually is. One has NEVER been able to say or do whatever they want. That's why we have libel and slander laws. You have never been able to yell fire in a crowd, and escape legal consequences. But you know through your profession already.

There is a TON of posturing that goes on during this period. Why do you think White Sox outlets are writing articles about how Eloy and Robert can be the Sox deadline acquisitions?

The government can ASK all they want, and that is still not an impingement of free speech. You also understand that you have no right to damage other people and call it freedom of speech, right? You want to talk about offensive, let's talk about your Soxtalk act.

No. In fact I get more and more sure as Mendick plays less and less.

Is he a starter? Obviously not. Has he given us exactly what we needed? You are darned right he has. He should be the super utility guy, instead he has basically been a starter due to injuries.

This is too good to not have in this thread.

Eloy will be up before Robert for sure.

That could also be a solid move. The bigger problem is that we need to roster both Eloy and Robert, and last I knew we only had one open 40 man roster spot. Someone will be a DFA, and it makes sense to me that it will be one of the OFs. That is unless we can get a deal done in the next few days that moves some 40 man roster spots without filling them all right back up with the guys we get in trades.

They could both be guys, but I don't think their minor league numbers so far really show that they are THIS good. I think Burger has a better chance just because he can play some defensive positions, but I think both are probably here to be shown off to the rest of MLB.

Ah yes. The old, I got my attacks in, so now everyone else be quiet, post. If you want to move along, move along.

The sad thing is he is about to catch a playoff share.

I am not the one getting hurt feelings. I just found your passive aggressive hypocrisy worth mentioning since the rest of the board probably has no idea how often you are trolling them.

This from the guy who leaves the most laugh reacts to people's posts, by far. But please continue your lecture on posting ethics.

Are you confused? Because this actually happened.

Which is why they all started using those sliding gloves. Next.
