2017-18 NCAA Football Thread
QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Aug 8, 2017 -> 02:55 PM) Rosen's thoughts here were taken completely out of context. People need to read the entire article of what he said. I thought the exact same thing. Alabama though is handing out money left and right to smart kids from the north. Not sure where the money it is coming from exactly but there is an academic pipeline from Chicago to Tuscaloosa.

Delmonico promoted to big league club
QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Aug 7, 2017 -> 11:34 AM) That's the type of timeline you give a pitcher drafted out of high school, not a college pitcher who went 3rd overall. 22 year old Carlos Rodon in low A ball would be a joke. He would be lights out. Yet there is Hansen. I know they are different situations but not that vastly different that they can't be compared.

Delmonico promoted to big league club
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 7, 2017 -> 09:00 AM) I can't believe people think he has already reached his peak in the worst year of his life. I don't think he was prepared for the majors and should probably still be in the minors but I also felt that Rodon should have not come up until this year as well. I really hope things in this organization have changed other trading MLB talent for MiLB talent. If not it's going to be a long decade.

2017 Cubs Catch-all thread
They miss Nats top three guys, if Nats Dodgers or Indians were close to healthy last year this rebuild is still a work in process.

Sox v Sox
QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 4, 2017 -> 09:51 PM) Just think of Renteria as the kindergarten teacher preparing the kids for elementary school. He's here to develop the young players, end of story. When it's time to compete, who knows if the Sox pull a Cubs and bring in the higher profile manager. Why would they do that now and not the last few times they hired a manager

Reinsdorf Needed Convincing to Trade with Cubs
QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Jul 27, 2017 -> 10:35 AM) That's not getting booted. JR et al went elsewhere. CBS had a one time opportunity to move the Cubs to the Score and they did. CBS would rather have had both. I didn't say they were booted but I would speculate that the Sox would be moved to WBBM and the Cubs would move the SCORE or some hybrid of the SCORE covering both and WBBM taking the conflicts/Sox like CSN+

Reinsdorf Needed Convincing to Trade with Cubs
QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Jul 27, 2017 -> 10:03 AM) The Sox didn't get booted out by the Cubs. WSCR bid on the radio rights for the Sox, they just chose another station, which opened up the opportunity for the Cubs to fill the void. This all happened before the Cubs won the WS. The cubs were on the SCORE's sister station in 2015. There was no way they were going to stay there while the SOX stayed on the SCORE. Both Reinsdorf controlled teams are on the same station which no baseball or basketball fan under the age 60 listens to other than for the game.

Dan Jennings Traded to TB for Casey Gillaspie
QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 27, 2017 -> 10:20 AM) If this guy turns into a decent player, no. Jennings has 2 years of arb left, and won't be too expensive, but he serves no purpose if they aren't trying to win. He probably won't be worth more than he is now. Next year they will probably suck worse than this, but they have to be careful because several of the better prospects will probably be on the team, and you don't want to bury them and their confidence. That is something I think about and wonder if it is real.

Can still strike out 27 times in this game but at least we will not be no hit.

Sox send Frazier/DRob/Kahnle to NY ~ Rutherford/Clarkin/Clippard/Polo
Frazier has value as a veteran defender that should handle post season pressure well. DRob and Kahnle are both high leverage guys that are needed for playoffs runs. I like Rutherford but would like another more advanced prospect in this deal.

raBBit On the Score
QUOTE (shipps @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 08:07 AM) rabbit was great as he always has been. I think he has been on the Score a couple times and he was just as articulate and seamless in explaining as the long time guests that come on. I detest the SCORE flipped on to hear generalities about the trade. Hub gave his show lineup and I heard raBBit at 6:20 so I kept it on.

raBBit On the Score
raBBit / Brian great job yesterday on the SCORE interview yesterday With Hub. Not sure how often you do that but it was a good listen. Giving props to my favorite prospect Hansen as well. Kudos!

Do the White Sox now have the best farm system in MLB?
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 11:01 AM) White Sox have Nos. 1, 5, 20, 45, 59, 75 & 83 on the BA mid-season top 100 list now. and that doesn't include Hansen who is my favorite guy Fullmer's failures seem irrelevant now

Q traded to Cubs/Jimenez, Cease ++ to Sox
I think I may have to watch the cubs every so often now.....ugh

Q may get moved "sooner than you think"
I posted it yesterday and I still think it would be true Schwarber or Happ, Eloy and Cease will be the cub haul. I think Schwarber is in the deal for no other than reason than to add a name. If he fails in the next year or two years no problem. Theo needs to make a move and they have zero need for Schwarber. Cease and Eloy are the names the Sox need.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 02:51 PM) Or it's going to be awful weather in South Bend and don't want him getting hurt Would the cubs give up he, Schwarber or Happ and Jimenez for Quintana?

Earhart may have died in Japanese custody
So I will delete the Earhart show on my DVR without watching. Anyone see the Jack the Ripper special....I assume it will be bad after reading this thread.

Quintana
Quintana and the bullpen pieces fit what the Brewers are doing rather nicely. Send them Shields and Swarzek with the Sox eating the remaining salary for Shields as well.
