QUOTE (Quin @ Jul 8, 2017 -> 01:59 PM) Moncada Kopech Robert are all definitely in the Top 100 I could see Giolito, Lopez and Collins still being firmly in the Top 100. Fulmer probably falling out. Hansen should be in. Dunning could be knocking on the door. +1

Still 5th coming into today. 1.5 GB of 3rd. A loss by us today and wins by the Reds and Padres would give us the 3rd slot.

Quintana for Stanton + 45 million bucks

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 7, 2017 -> 07:10 PM) Chuck Garfien reports that Robert allegedly has a minor knee problem. Will be shut down for seven days Sure hope it's minor

QUOTE (Scoots @ Jul 7, 2017 -> 06:21 PM) This is Shields2016-esque If it was still the first inning - I'd agree ?

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Jul 7, 2017 -> 06:17 PM) I'm worried people don't want to hear this in a game thread, but same. It's for the best. If it was 4 - 1 Sox in the second inning, I doubt it would have come up.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 7, 2017 -> 05:59 PM) lol, we're going to need some laughter the next few months. Dog days are upon us. I hope we lose 100.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 7, 2017 -> 05:53 PM) 2019 Rotation (keeping Q) Q Rodon Kopech Lopez Adams/Dunning. Now that is a rotation you can dream on. Dream on that as you watch the next 70 or so games of s***. I'm still dreaming on Hansen being acelike.

Perfect

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 7, 2017 -> 03:24 PM) Pain and agony may be melodramatic or may not be. I've been furious at the team and need to calm down and see what happens. I apologize for any anger I've caused in responding to my anger. It's just a game and I need to trust Hahn a bit as obviously he's not a dunce to get this far in life. You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy, when skies are greg

In a separate interview on the official chisox site with a Kopech... he said of himself regarding his change up, "it's making me a much more glorified pitcher." Glorified.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jul 7, 2017 -> 02:34 PM) During the rebuild we will need to hang together as we suffer through some miserable seasons. Hopefully the pain and agony is manageable. I will say it is much easier to accept losing knowing that the organization has made rebuilding the clear priority with the Sale and Eaton trades. A higher draft position will only help us in the future.

Is it just me or has this years trading season been slooow?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 7, 2017 -> 12:53 PM) Give me a clean slate starting now. I can accept that my positions are well known on the state of the team. GO SOX!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 7, 2017 -> 01:35 PM) Avi Garcia is not in tonight's line up. Didn't he kind of awkwardly land in his foot making a play on Wednesday? More like #InjuryWatch rather than #HugWatch

5th coming into play today.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 7, 2017 -> 10:19 AM) No rumor or anything but just a solid read I came across. May piss off some people on this site (well, just Greg). https://theloopsports.com/2017/07/05/melky-...ed-trade-piece/ What poor writing, case in point: "Though his beard and “fun veteran” demeanor may portray him as an old player." ?

Guess the trade that kicks things off... and when does it occur? Bordeoms not a burden anyone should bear.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 6, 2017 -> 05:55 PM) As opposed to making the worst possible posts for years... Some people are just that special.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 6, 2017 -> 09:57 PM) Never forget http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CH...200707061.shtml http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CH...200707062.shtml The day Jon Garland pooped his pants on and off the field... literally.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 6, 2017 -> 04:56 PM) No way, the Giants and Phillies got the top 2 spots on lock. It's possible that we play worse than the Giants in the second half and make up the ground.

I really think when all is said and done that we have a shot at the second slot

QUOTE (FT35 @ Jul 5, 2017 -> 08:34 PM) Interesting...Is this true even if a team claims him just to block him from going somewhere else? They're on the hook $ wise if we cut him? If the waiving team decides to let him go for the salary relief alone, then yes.... see Alex Rios to the White Sox as an example.

It's been a beautifully ugly game today. Horay for losing. Bring on the trades, these next 3.5 weeks can't go by fast enough. ?

QUOTE (FT35 @ Jul 5, 2017 -> 01:34 PM) I think Frazier will be dangled but there will be no takers--Teams in search of a 3B will go hard after Josh Donaldson till the deadline hits. If Donaldson doesn't get moved, someone will claim Todd off waivers but no deal will be reached. Soxtalk will be forced to somehow make sense of this. If this happened and someone claimed him on waivers but we couldn't "reach a deal" -- we'd still cut ties with him and the claiming team would take on his remaining salary obligations. It's very likely Todd is gone.
