QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 2, 2017 -> 08:02 PM) As am I. I've always been a Sanchez fan his glove is so slick he just needs to hit 280/320/380 to be a useful piece. I'm right there with you I feel people have given up on him way too quickly, he is still only 24 years old till late June, if he was on a normal development curve he could make his debut this year and be on pace.

bases juiced for Avi..ok lets see what he can do again

take 3 todd

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 2, 2017 -> 07:56 PM) f***ing Sanchez is playing well too so far this year. I like him against lefties. at the very least the sox could have a strong bench when its time to compete with Saladino, Sanchez and Leury but i'm really hoping that one of the can develop into a 2 win regular. I'm enjoying watching these "older" minor leaguers getting extended looks.

Q looking like vintage Q with the high strike out and efficient inning.

Appreciate Soto sticking with it and going back up the middle.

Sox catch a break, lets capitalize .

lame bases juiced no out for Abreu vs. 2 on 1 out...

MLB.com Mock Draft Callis has Haseley going #10 to the Angels Mayo has Haseley going #7 to the Diamondbacks

Abreu's line since this s*** post was created - .444/.531/.778 including today

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 30, 2017 -> 03:29 PM) Long term, I think Anderson is a real solid player that has some better years than others. Kinda like Alexei. When the Sox get good, it would be a good sign if he's batting 7th. As far as defense, make the routine plays and know when to not throw. He'll get there. I'm of the same mindset, there are going to be some ups and downs with all aspects of his game but when the sox compete he should be batting in the lower third of the order. As for defense love his range but its going to take some time for him to get adjusted to the speed and pace of play at the major league level while developing.

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Apr 30, 2017 -> 11:37 AM) John Manuel from BA on H&R today basically said that none of the pitchers the Sox acquired this offseason are starters and none of the top guys are starters other than Spencer Adams, who is a fringe back of rotation guy. He tried to say it in the nicest way possible. Said command/durability/stuff are the reasons. Not what I wanted to hear. In a vacuum I would be more inclined to agree with Manuel's "hot take" but this is one month into a season and these arms are in one of the few organizations that has shown time and time again they can develop every type of pitcher and polish turds from the scrap heap while protecting arms from serious injury at the major league level. Some of them will not cut it in the rotation and will be transitioned to the pen but the notion that Adams is going to be the only one that cracks a rotation makes me chuckle.

God damn he is filthy...

sidenote i despise when umps throw the ball back, let the catcher do his job.

f***ing aced!

Jose!!!!

that is some range and some kind of play by TA, muh gawd!

Jose!!!!

Great win, just ride it out, likely won't get the top draft pick but all the pieces adding value is well worth it, who knows; just enjoying the ride.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Apr 28, 2017 -> 08:43 AM) The last 3 drafts, my draft crush got taken in each draft. I'll let you know who I've settled on a few days before lol won't really read up on anything until about within a week up to the draft. I'm 3-3 as well, and I would be thrilled with Haseley or Faedo.

fangraphs giving Tommy Kahnle some love

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 04:12 PM) Will be getting an updated MLB.com top 100 draft list sometime today. new list is up link Here is what I think could be a realistic draft for their first three picks. 11 - Adam Haseley 49 - Bryce Montes de Oca 87 - Luis Gonzalez Having missed out on Benintendi previously they get their "guy" here at 11 with Haseley . They have a history with Montes de Oca and could come under the slot value of 1.39M, due to familiarity, popping him early and his injury concerns. Gonzalez fits the mold of the recent draft trend the Ender Inciarte comp is nice.
