QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 1, 2017 -> 02:15 AM) To be fair, the Sox took advantage of a couple prospects that had helium (Aiken and Kolek) while Rodon's stock was fading and they seemed to understand that Rodon was simply fatigued. I remember it well and was alluding to that situation. In real time, it was electric. Wanna experience a top 2 pick now - preferably el numero uno.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Sep 1, 2017 -> 12:29 AM) Wow I guess kopech may actually get a crack at starting out of spring training after all MiGo was a FA after this year - so does his departure really make a difference?

QUOTE (raBBit @ Aug 31, 2017 -> 10:34 AM) Kopech - The guy is a freak. They probably let him settle in at Charlotte and call up once he's settled. He may struggle with walks when he comes up but he's going to compete. I have no problem with having him in the rotation next may. I think Jimenez would probably follow him up after the Super 2 deadline. Adolfo - It really pisses me off the team has policies that revolve around Kopech being forced to cut his hair but then when a guy is an idiot and punches an inanimate object the team covers for him. How about a policy where self inflicted injuries make them lose money and they can wear their hair however they want?

Top 2 and I'm happy. The only reason being that I've never been a rabid fan and obsessively observed a draft with us picking above 3. The Rodon draft at 3 was the bomb digity and I wanna top it. For shizzle my nizzles.

Like the trade on both ends.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 30, 2017 -> 01:05 PM) I have to admit, pretty gutsy to start a thread like this. I am sure it has little if any impact on player personell decisions. I mean can you imagine making a choice between 2 draftees coming down to who is hotter ? Hahn: Oh he is just dreamy Williams : I like the one with the big butt.

So much value added. Sooooooo much.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 24, 2017 -> 06:49 PM) Moncada taken out of the game. Saladino is in the game in the 6th. Sox have no one left on the bench Any indication as to why?

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 23, 2017 -> 08:00 PM) Wednesday: Phillies won, Sox won, Giants won, Reds lost 39 days left Team (Games left) - Sox Magic Number to have higher pick: 1. Phillies(37) - 41 2. White Sox (37) 3. Giants(33) - 34 4. Reds(35) - 34 Woulda been a great game to lose tonight.

I'm pulling for this kid big time. No matter what he does in his career - I will always remember him. If I ask my three year old son now who his favorite baseball player is, he emphatically says, "Nicky!!" Before he wouldn't have a response. Atta boy kid-nick http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/colum...822-column.html

I saw on Chris Sale's MLB.com player profile that his nickname is now considered to be, "stickman". Lame.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 18, 2017 -> 08:59 PM) 2 2 HR games in the last 3 , 3 of which left the yard. The game prior to these 3 - the first game against the Dodgers he was out of the lineup. That night he gave my three year old son his first Major League Baseball. I attribute his home runs to that act of good will.

After Beckham struggled for the first time I went early to a game before the general public was allowed to enter and was taking pictures with a huge camera lens. The look on his face was akin to a scared, lost, and sad little puppy. Recently saw Moncada during similar circumstances and he looked focused, poised, and confident. It is because of this and only this that I firmly believe in Yoan.

Wow - great post. I believe Boyer was / is on the board of advanced media

Delmonico threw me a ball for the boy during BP. Anderson hitting the first pitch out during the boys first White Sox game... got to talk with Shields about playing together back in the day and introduced the boy to him... and we lost. Couldn't have been a better day.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 09:16 AM) Taking my kids to see their first baseball game! Hopefully they see a White Sox no-hitter. I'm taking my boy as well ?? Drop me a PM if you wanna meet up brother. Planning on going early for batting practice too!

I recall Kemp's name being thrown around as a third piece of potential trades for one of Sale / Q. For Clippard that's beast mode... if true.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Aug 12, 2017 -> 02:16 PM) Its never a sure thing with any pick in the draft. Just imagine the entire offseason and first couple months of the 2018 baseball year with us all being able to endlessly speculate about the first pick!

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Aug 11, 2017 -> 08:21 PM) If the right guys perform, I'm okay with it. The prospect of having a few months to ogle over a first spot draft position has me wet. Otherwise, I agree.

A 4 game winning streak is unacceptable. Nice to see Lopez do well and all but bring on the losing again.

Whoever said this kid can't start was seriously mistaken.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 10, 2017 -> 10:36 AM) I will be the one to say it... the Moncada walk rate isn't going to continue. In the minors he averaged a walk every 7.45 ABs. He is now at 5.45. It just isn't realistic. Walks go down - hittable pitches go up.
