QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 15, 2013 -> 05:04 PM) And, of course, if he hasn't quite made it as a Double-A player at age 21, he still won't be a bust. First things first. He needs to play well enough in 2014 to be in Birmingham in 2015. If he's not, the point is moot. Hopefully the Sox have another Adam E developing over the next few years. Adam Engel- http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/p...id=engel-000ada Adam Eaton was taken 571st. Adam Engel was taken 573rd. I'm just as interested to see what Engel can do in 2014.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 15, 2013 -> 03:15 PM) Was he the one who complained about his twitter? If I remember correctly, Hawkins called out a local reporter for pointing out a fact about Hawkins' game. He took at as a rip, and tweeted that he was blocking him. The way I look at it, Hawkins was terrible in 2013 at age 19. Hopefully he'll improve going back to Winston-Salem at age 20 with good enough numbers to advance him to Birmingham in 2015. Then it's just a matter if he's good enough. If he's not, oh well. Move on to the next guy.

At 2:36, that's how you act on a walk off hit.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35O4Po4p0tA The Fisk debut game in 1981 was added today too.

Nieto linked to Biogenesis. Already served suspension. http://espn.go.com/espn/otl/story/_/id/101...nesis-documents?

Tigers sign Joba Chamberlain.

Lobaton would be a safe pickup. Hopefully that's still in play.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 12, 2013 -> 10:11 AM) Today could get exciting. Probably not. It's a mad dash to the airport after the Rule 5. Sure they could do something, but it's more likely to happen after today.

Eaton was on the Score this morning. http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2013/12/12/eat...rtbag-nickname/ If Eaton leads off 150 games for the next five years, people will like this guy.

Even if Nieto doesn't make the team, maybe they can work out a deal to keep him in the system. That happens once in a while. But hopefully the Sox will acquire a major league catcher soon (before February 15).

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 12, 2013 -> 08:29 AM) Bruce Levine ‏@MLBBruceLevine 56s Wh Sox take second catcher , Omar Narbaze from Tampa . Narvaez. Close enough, Bruce. http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/p...id=narvae001---

Sox took Evan Crawford. AAA phase. LHP. Some major league time with Blue Jays.

Aggressive. Worth a look in spring training.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Dec 11, 2013 -> 12:23 PM) Rock kind of hinted that the Sox were interested, too. My question is, if they do sign him, who is going to depart? Somebody would want Gillaspie. Maybe an NL team looking for a backup 1B/3B, pinch hitter.

It's weird how Merkin and Hayes went out of their way yesterday to say the Sox aren't in on Uribe, but people are still reporting that the Sox and Dodgers are waiting on him to decide.

Since we're talking comps... How about an OF version of Jason Kipnis? Fair?

I just hope he understands that health is a skill.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 11, 2013 -> 10:25 AM) At least you can say about Hawk that he isnt openly campaigning for it He lets the White Sox brass do that for him....naming the broadcast level of the park after him, Hawk Harrelson Day, having MLB Network do a special on him, etc. Make no mistake, he wants to be there.

Didn't make it. He'll be eligible again in three years. Three...long....years.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 05:38 PM) They'd prefer to keep DV over ADA as he's younger and an org guy with potentially more upside. Sounds like ADA has a broader market since he's more productive for contenders. I wouldn't expect a huge return but I do think he'll be dealt. Good enough. This is a two year project anyway.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 04:37 PM) I love the picture from the hotel room. I'm imagining them getting s***faced at night and making off the wall trade proposals, GMs running from room to room with drinks in hand and scantily clad women. Hahn is holding his butt after having to give up a PTNBL.

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 04:21 PM) I hope the scouts are right, Lenny was a hell of a player. I'll take the 86 version of Dykstra. Not the 93. They test for that now.
