QUOTE (ecupittfan @ Mar 22, 2017 -> 01:57 PM) So James Shields throws 6 shutout innings and now has a 2.53 ERA 1.031Ratio and 10 Ks in 10.7 innings. Its a long shot but if Shields somehow ends up with an ERA hovering at under 4.00 towards the trade deadline then we can actually get something for him. It's almost a perfect win-win... 1.) He does well and we can trade him 2.) He sucks balls and we get better draft position The only potential downside is him being middle of the road - and honestly, I think that's the most likely scenario. Doh.

Abreu has zero trade value? Sure.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 14, 2017 -> 02:37 PM) If you are freaking out about Giolito's velocity during a spring game on March 13th, good luck making it through the next 2 or 3 years.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Mar 13, 2017 -> 10:52 PM) Don't, just don't. It's too soon.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Mar 13, 2017 -> 10:24 PM) You aren't concerned? Let's say opening day Frazier hits a three run homer to put us up late and Robertson gets a save by striking out the side. How sad to read ... "GOOD now we can trade Frazier especially if he can hit 20 home runs by June 10!" "GOOD, Robertson looks good this year. We can surely move him soon!!" Ugh. Me thinks you won't have greg around much this season to all your delights. Our announcers should just copy the fans' lead and talk incessantly about trades and needing to lose. "The pitch to Frazier ... you can put it on the board.... yes! This is gonna help build Frazier's trade value Stone Pony. You know if he keeps this up we could get 2-3 good prospects even though he's a free agent to be." Pony: "Amen Hawk. However it would be nice if the Sox found a way to lose this game. We don't need to be winning games. The draft is the important thing for this rebuild. Nice home run by Frazier, but I'd be OK with a bullpen implosion about now!" Dare I say it?

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Mar 13, 2017 -> 09:02 PM) With 550-600 at bats maybe he hits .285 with 20-25 HR's then what, huh huh ? Then he's on the team until what... 2022?

I have a feeling Rutherford will be Benintendi-lite in about 6 months time. Meaning, he's gonna crush it and become an off the table asset.

And a solo shot by Gomes

3 up 3 down for Fulmer. 2 Ks

His double against the Dodgers late last night was impressive. 1.) He was out in front and off the ball a bit 2.) He didn't make solid contact 3.) The ball still hit off the wall and could have been a home run at the cell / great down arrow field On the other side of the coin, he looked completely lost in the 4 at bats prior to this

FANTASTIC DIVING PLAY. Ball got stuck on the transfer but boy oh boy did he show range there!!!

Moncada bats for the third time in the inning... rips a first pitch fastball down to first. Very comfortable swing. Solid contact. Great play or it would have been a double. He slid head first into the bag with the defender also sliding into the bag. That was his Puig moment.

Everything I've read since we acquired him says he'all remain at second.

Well - he just hit a deep fly ball off the left field wall that wasn't hit square. Looked like he had a little hesitation on his swing too. Shows how amazing his power potential is. Still looked lost.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 12, 2017 -> 09:05 PM) He tries to be too patient at the plate and ends up only getting a swing or two every at bat to put the ball in play. I'm hopeful it will improve but this spring has definitely shown his two main warts (k and fielding) In the at bats I've seen so far he's the poster boy image of "star prospect pressing too hard." Hopefully we'll all start seeing his instincts take over and he can relax a bit. For a highly touted prospect like him, that can be a big part of the journey in and of itself. Do what got you this far... not what you think you need to do to prove yourself.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 12, 2017 -> 08:59 PM) I was trying to make a joke about the game thread being gone, not taking a shot at you. Anyway, yeah Moncada one k away from a sombrero. How dare thou bring about the poopmonster while neglecting thy toilet paper!!!

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 12, 2017 -> 07:46 PM) If only there were a game thread to discuss this. Oh wait... Oh wait... the thread for today's games doesn't exist, so far as I can see... Edit: Yea, it's already been archived for some reason. God forbid we discuss Moncada in a Moncada thread.
