I wonder if we'll have a Rodon sighting when the teams in Arizona and / or hear anything from him.

QUOTE (ypres @ May 21, 2017 -> 06:44 PM) What the f*** is his problem? Well, for one... he's a bad writer.

Awful Article

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 21, 2017 -> 04:37 PM) 12th in the draft I hope that we lose 80% of our remaining games while seeing great performances from the following players: Quintana Gonzalez Holand Frazier Cabrera A Garcia Abreu L Garcia Davidson Robertson Swarzak Kahnle Holmberg Ynoa Yea, I know. Won't happen... can't have cake and eat it to. Yada yada yada. Let a man dream.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 21, 2017 -> 01:26 PM) five baseball points! I don't know why but referring to runs as baseball points.... is absolutely awesome!!!

QUOTE (fathom @ May 21, 2017 -> 01:17 PM) They talked a lot about it on pregame last night One bummer of being out of market and using MLB.tv I guess.

So I guess they're waiting until the deal with Robert is finalized before talking about it in a game broadcast. Haven't heard anything today or yesterday from our commentators.

Very nice

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 21, 2017 -> 10:45 AM) What are your thoughts on the 7th instead of 8th pick in the '15 draft? Case in point... exactly.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 21, 2017 -> 09:08 AM) Such a bizarre comment, wasn't it? Pretty cool way of circumventing rules and telephoning in intentions for the fan base to decipher

Garcia = "Once Major League Baseball clears Garcia to sign, he will be exempt from the international bonus pools, which means he can sign without restrictions." Also has a long swing prone to low contact and pitch recognition. Pass. Brain, unf***ed.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 20, 2017 -> 02:28 PM) Anyone else think the Sox could go after Jose Israel Garcia as well since they have nothing to lose now? Please, don't f*** with my brain.

QUOTE (SouthSide2004 @ May 20, 2017 -> 02:16 PM) I'd be cool with Rutherford or Frazier in a Quintana trade (amongst others), but my plan isn't that far fetched. I really think one of Soto or Kieboom is realistic get for Robertson. A guy like Pavin Smith should be available at #11. We also have a few other interesting positional prospects in the system (Delmonico, Call, Basabe, Fisher, Adolfo, etc.), plus a few more assets that could be traded to add more (Nate Jones in particular). Adding one impact free agent bat isn't really anything crazy either. Honestly, I think the key part of this move is that if you believe Robert can stick in CF (still TBD), you've now got high profile young talent up the entire middle in Anderson, Moncada, & Collins. And it's much easier to find above average players in the corners than up the middle talent or premium pitching. If we can now hit on the Quintana & Robertson trades, our rebuild should be in a great spot. And alas, we have an agreement. All is right in the Soxtalk world. ( also we have finances lined up for a big SP frontline FA under such a plan )

QUOTE (SouthSide2004 @ May 20, 2017 -> 01:55 PM) Honestly, I think it probably makes sense to keep Abreu and make him our DH. I think there would be teams willing to trade for him, but I think what he brings to the clubhouse and on the field would be more valuable than those prospects. So with that said, here's my projected 2020 lineup: 1B: Pavin Smith (2017 1st round pick) 2B: Yoan Moncada SS: Tim Anderson 3B: Josh Donaldson (2018-19 free agent) LF: Juan Soto (Robertson trade) CF: Luis Robert RF: Clint Frazier (Quintana trade) DH: Jose Abreu C: Zack Collins I'd be muy happy with that... Rutherford and Frazier are a toss up to me from NY. Would fall in love with Hahn / Rizzo if we got Soto for D-Rob.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 20, 2017 -> 01:53 PM) poop. Gracsis. Also, your 10 day ban notice will be arriving shortly.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 20, 2017 -> 01:52 PM) Saw a BA chat yesterday that once scouts saw Hawkins play in the minors in 2013, they knew he was a wasted pick Ala Trouble with the Curve. Pun, intended.

This is essentially a way for them to lower their tax obligation in the Robert deal by 756k... yes?

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 20, 2017 -> 01:41 PM) My roommate is a huge Cards fan who was really hoping for Robert, so this is gonna suck to talk about later. Oh... no... grasshopper... it will be glorious.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 20, 2017 -> 12:56 PM) Will Robert be playing tonight Today, May 20th... shall forever be known moving forward as, Luis Robert day.

QUOTE (SouthSide2004 @ May 20, 2017 -> 01:35 PM) I'm glad they wowed him in this fashion rather than bringing Southpaw and balloons.

QUOTE (Tony @ May 20, 2017 -> 01:30 PM) @CSNHayes 10s Believe #WhiteSox were outbid. Also heard they wowed Luis Robert w/ video presentation from Renteria/Moncada/Abreu. bit.ly/2pWFhDj Wow Holy poop

QUOTE (SouthSide2004 @ May 20, 2017 -> 01:21 PM) This is an absolutely terrible way to look at this. The Sale deal has nothing to do with this signing. It's already established that we don't agee. Move along ye Lord of Discernment.
