So far I've only heard of two private work outs scheduled for him... one with us and one with the Astros, who have already exceeded their signing pool.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Apr 2, 2017 -> 06:06 PM) Same. Outwardly rooting for losses is fu**ing lame. I hope the Sox get off to a hot start, and even if they do, I won't expect the FO to change their direction, nor should they. But I never root for my teams to lose. If they end up with a top 5 pick, so be it, I know it's part of the process, but I'd prefer to see our young players take large steps forward and our veterans rake while they're here. One in the hand... I still don't think this team (with Rodon) is as bad as most here want them to be, but I guess we'll see soon enough. For me personally - I suspect we won't be competitive until 2019 or 2020. "Tank for Beer" is more about setting low expectations and getting the stomach ready for some bad teams. My guess for this teams record is also not as bad as most, I've pegged them for somewhere around 72 to 76 wins as currently constructed. When it's mid season and we've had more roster changes - that total could easily fall. The only benefit to losing will be our draft position and this is my way to stay sane during losing. There's some psychological term for it... which escapes me right now... cognitive dissonance isn't exactly it but it's something like that. It's when you talk yourself into enjoying or wanting something that you really don't want. My brain is like spaghetti - as I've just dealt with a sleep resistant 3 year old for two hours. So... yeah... I'll stop talking.

Heyman write about Cardinals interest in Q Sounds to me like he's engaging in masturbation like the rest of us.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 30, 2017 -> 08:28 PM) ... stated that a National League international scouting director believes Robert is the second best international talent in baseball. The reports on Robert state he is already a five-tool player that can crack an MLB roster soon. An American League scouting director told Sanchez that Robert is “the best player on the planet, and that’s no exaggeration.”[/i] http://redbirdrants.com/2017/02/27/st-loui...robert-scouted/ That's the most glowing review of a player I've seen. The best player on the planet? So he's better than Trout huh?

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Mar 30, 2017 -> 03:42 PM) Could you imagine Sox sign Robert, draft Beer in 2018 and trade Q for Meadows +......... I don't think we're gonna suck enough for beer

Urg. I'll always hate that damned logo.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 29, 2017 -> 01:38 PM) lol, ok. Value is relative and subjective

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 29, 2017 -> 01:12 PM) People are having an enjoyable conversation. If you don't want to be apart of it, there are plenty of other threads on the board. I'm enjoying adding valuable commentary after participating for the entire winter and spring seasons on this merry-go-round broken record wonderful exercise in repetitive speculation.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Mar 28, 2017 -> 06:56 PM) That kid Yolmer Sanchez has been looking good. He's better than Carlos Sanchez any day.
