beautox

can't wait to see Houston's angles on that call but it looked safe.

I'm expecting Abreu to keep up his hot hitting and hoping Gio can put it all together this start.

love it

Ideally the sox lock up Abreu to play DH/1B and one of Delmonico/Davidson/Collins(if he cant catch)/Burger/Sheets/Yurchak figure it out for the other position.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 5, 2018 -> 04:38 PM) why do we have so many middle inning lefties? Honestly I'm ok with it, if we fall out of the race and the lefties perform they can possibly net some former top prospect like Casey Gillespie.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Feb 5, 2018 -> 05:06 PM) And Ryan Sweeney was already in AA (about to reach AAA) at Rutherford's age. Point is, noone knows how this kid is going to project. I agree, looking forward to a fresh start and full year of development in our system for him. I think if he puts it all together we're looking at a Andre Ethier type of out come on the high end Ryan Sweeney on the low end, I don't believe he is going to stick in CF and more than likely winds up in LF.

Flores, Luis Gonzalez and Seby Zavala, I think Polo could become a De Aza like player which would be great.

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Dec 17, 2017 -> 12:10 PM) So Buehler or Verdugo+? More likely Yusniel Diaz and Keibert Ruiz (was sitting at 100 before Ohtani bounced him)

If Hahn can land Machado and extend him then the price will be worth it. Having said that I would love for Hahn to get creative and offer salary relief to the cash poor marlins something like: Sox trade Rutherford and Flores for Yelich, Prado (eating his 29.5M) and Chen with the marlins eating a fair bit(25-30M over 3 years) of it so it balances out Yelich's surplus value. Marlins would save face getting a top 50 prospect and an intresting arm, sox use their capital to land Yelich at a reasonable rate. DH - Abreu C - Collins* 1B - Delmonico* 2B - Moncada# SS - Machado 3B - Sanchez# LF - Yelich* CF - Anderson RF - Jimenez sign me up.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 12, 2017 -> 08:34 PM) What’s the most everyone would give up in a Machado trade assuming a 72 negotiating window? I’d probably be willing to do something like Rutherford & Spencer Adams if I had to. Cease and Fulmer/Adams is where I personally would be at for a 72 hour window and in terms of a contract 350M with an opt out after 4 years and a complete NTC. Move him to short and move TA to 3B/OF I would also be blowing up Miami for Yelich, going off of last years #'s his surplus value is roughly 95.5M. Move Abreu and Avisail for prospects add them to the offer.

Here is what I would like to see happen Avi & Smith are moved to the cards for RHP Jack Flaherty, OF Magneuris Sierra & LHP Austin Gomber. Avi gives them a nice bat in right field while not costing too much in terms of prospects and Smith allows them to keep Kelly who is only 23 down for more maturation and service time considerations. Flaherty is a solid mid rotation piece, Sierra has already acquired time at the show but has a ton of projection left and Gomber is solid looking lefty that is age appropriate and could likely find himself at the back end of a rotation or in the pen. Abreu & Yolmer are moved to the red sox for LHP Jay Groome, 3B Michael Chavis and RHP Bryan Mata. If the yankees are able to grab someone like Cole this will only force the issue even more; Boston needs power. I think the giants after missing out on Stanton put a lot of their resources at JD Martinez. Abreu gives them stability and power at 1B and Yolmer can hold down second while Pedroia recovers while adding additional value in case of injury around the diamond and late innings. Groome isn't going to help the red sox in their current window and Chavis is going to be blocked at 3B/1B/DH for the foreseeable future. Mata is very raw and projectable but is on a similar timeline as Groome. Salary relief to the Dodgers for Gonzalez & Kazmir (37.5M) for taking on their sunk costs and saving them 20% on their luxury tax overage the sox pick up OF Yusniel Diaz & C Keibert Ruiz; going by last years the point of Pittsburgh surplus values they are both worth roughly 41.2M. From a dodger perspective they're giving up their 5th and 6th best prospects but getting under the luxury tax and making room on the 25 and 40 man rosters while giving Bellinger full time at 1B and writing off Kazmir as a loss. Sox also get the potential to flip both of them at the deadlines, if not they're free agents at the end of the year along with Shields when our payroll will be roughly 23M. Draft RHP Cale Coshow from the yankees in the rule V. 2018 Opening Day DH - Gillaspie# C - Castillo 1B - Gonzalez* 2B - Moncada# SS - Anderson 3B - Saladino LF - Delmonico* CF - Sierra* RF - Garcia# SP - Giolito SP - Lopez SP - Fulmer SP - Shields SP - Kazmir*

QUOTE (GenericUserName @ Dec 9, 2017 -> 04:39 PM) Ellsbury has a full no trade. I don't see him waiving that to go to a lesser team. and roughly $90mil still on his contract including the buy out

Glad to see Tim with his swag back. hoping for a 20/20 season next year.

....His ass should've been on the bench not once but twice and ReyLo should have about 12 less pitches...f***ing garbage.

Nicky too stronk

lol turned to my wife and called that, it was so obvious. Good ol gas can.
