QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Dec 12, 2016 -> 11:11 AM) I'd rather have Franklin Perez than Whitely, Perez should be a top ten pitching prospect when the rankings are updated. Franklin Perez is currently their #4 prospect according to the Baseball America most recent update.

QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Dec 12, 2016 -> 10:59 AM) It's a good idea in theory, just not sure how realistic it is that it will actually happen. You see it a lot in the NBA, but maybe the stricter luxury tax rules will make it more common in baseball though. I could see something where we get 1 of these overpriced guys back + prospect in exchange for Robertson. Of course we should receive a little extra bump in the prospect package in return for taking on their trash. That way the Dodgers are at least breaking even payroll wise. Robertson for McCarthy, Calhoun, and Sheffield. Or something along those lines. For example, White Sox should be willing to take back Jhonny Peralta in return for Frazier with a better prospect coming back to White Sox. Maybe something like Frazier and a reliever for Carson Kelly, DeJong and Peralta. Sox can play Peralta and trade him at the deadline

QUOTE (almagest @ Dec 12, 2016 -> 10:48 AM) Is there a link to that interview? I don't have time to find out but it's from Thursday I believe on their show. Can be podcasted on 670thescore.com

Awesome stuff here as always from Brian and Future Sox as a whole. It was good hearing Chris Getz on the radio with Spiegs and Goff last week as well.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Dec 11, 2016 -> 05:42 PM) Astros number 30 prospect. Not all glove, 50 hit tool with no power. High defensive marks. Severino from Washington is more elite all glove type. I'd target em both... Robertson and Q. According to Baseball America most recent issue, Stubbs is their #10 prospect

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Dec 10, 2016 -> 11:27 PM) I think Jansen signing with the Dodgers and Turner signing elsewhere works out best for the Sox. Robertson can block a deal to LAD, but not MIA. If the Dodgers are desperate for Frazier and the Marlins desperate for Robertson, Hahn could squeeze a nice return out of both teams. I think Robertson ends up in Washington

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 9, 2016 -> 11:59 AM) When will they win in season? Check back next decade. This is insane man. They are setting themselves up nicely to be pretty good and fun in 2019.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 10, 2016 -> 05:37 PM) I'd give Benetti two more years...otherwise, I might think about moving him to radio and retiring Farmer. Really? I think Benetti is the voice of the White Sox for the next 20 years unless he leaves.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 10, 2016 -> 04:37 PM) I can't see it being Musgrove. I think its either Tucker or Martes, or even both they don't want to move. Don't you think if this was about Musgrove they would have figured this out by now? If you're Luhnow, and Q goes to Colorado, for example, then you're stuck with either Verlander or Archer most likely, and the Rays can bend you over the barrel on Archer. They have to be aware of that and Joe Musgrove isn't worth risking putting yourself in that position over. This is about Tucker and/or Martes. Sox can't really do it without Martes and Tucker

QUOTE (mataipaepae @ Dec 10, 2016 -> 01:42 PM) I worry that it was just about getting rid of the Laroche fan club that really stood up to management. Notice they were the first 2 to go. Why are you guys still worried about this? They are rebuilding. They want to lose 100 games this year. Hahn clearly said he wants to make 4-5 more trades. Stop worrying.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 10, 2016 -> 01:32 PM) Any other cynics here think that the "rebuilding idea" and the two trades were just excuses to get rid of "perceived" problems in Sale and Eaton and the Sox are done trading? No chance. I would expect 4-5 more deals.

QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 10, 2016 -> 11:48 AM) Luhnow is a prospect hoarder. I dont see a trade going down with the Astros. He gave up like 5 good prospects for Ken Giles. And Ken Giles isn't taht good.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 9, 2016 -> 02:48 PM) Soxtalk, because I care about you, I'm taking a hit for the team and am going to listen to the buster olney podcast for the Nightengale bits on Quintana. I will report back. Nightengale is very confident he gets moved. He thinsk they are determined to trade him but they think as highly of him as they do Sale. He expects up to 7 more players traded. He did mention that White Sox would have the payroll to be very active throughout with the 2018 Free Agent class.

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Dec 9, 2016 -> 01:16 PM) I hope you all are right. I have this fear that they think they can still compete by having those 3 start with the team on opening day. If the plan truly is to start all 3 in the minors, it's even more reason to move Frazier, melky, and Robertson now in my opinion. The current market conditions seem very favorable to moving those guys this offseason as soon as Jansen and Turner sign. Plus that frees up money to sign some cheap vets to plug holes with warm bodies. I expect the rotation to be Rodon, Gonzalez, Shields, and 2 free agent fliers. I'm pretty confident after hearing Hahn that Fulmer, Lopez, and Giolito will all start at Charlotte.

The White Sox are loaded with pitching prospects and they will most likely be adding more. As it looks now possibly: Charlotte- Giolito, Lopez, Fulmer, Holmberg, Birmingham-Adams, Stephens, Guerrero, HIGH A- Kopech, Hansen, Dunning, Diaz, Solorzano, Low A- Fry, Comito, Flores.

Ideally St. Louis, LAD, and Colorado could all get it done for Q too.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 9, 2016 -> 09:42 AM) I know we've gotten several elite prospects and figure to get some more with Quintana, but you are going to be getting a more typical B/B- prospect for Robertson in maybe a 1 for 1 swap. He has red flags and is not dirt cheap, just more reasonable. Robles would not be considered, and honestly a player like Kieboom + wildcard 20-30 arm would be enough for me. Others have discussed Severino, who is a near ready plus defense catcher with a stick that is questionable to make him a regular in majors. I would ask for Kieboom and Stevenson and see if they bite. If not, I'd take one of those players with C Jakson Reetz depending on what the Dodgers package is. Kieboom/Reetz or Stevenson/Reetz is about right I think. Kieboom/Stevenson would be fantastic but probably unrealistic.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Dec 9, 2016 -> 02:25 AM) I'm hoping for Kyle Wright from Vanderbilt. He's 6'4 220, has a mid 90s fastball and a slider. Here's some video: Josh, I think Kyle Wright ends up in the top 5.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 06:55 PM) Unlucky is probably accurate. 71 games pitched. 13 games he gave up runs. 9 of the 13 he gave up 1 run, and had 9 BS. The opposition had a hard time hitting him. The last month it was silly. Righties hit Nate Jones to the tune of a .476 OPS last year. Jones had a great season.

QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 11:24 AM) This isn't the best time to trade Robertson, unless he's part of a larger deal. His WHIP was up last season and the Sox would be selling low on him right now. If Hahn can't get what he wants for Robertson right now, hold on to him and revisit trade discussions in July. You do risk him being bad again though. I think they deal him now, let Jones be the closer and trade him for a ton in July.

Kenley Jansen signing in Miami would be fantastic. It would leave Washington and LAD possibly battling over David Robertson. Mark Zuckerman today said that Nats still and interest in Robertson.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 09:36 AM) Yup. And that's fine for a rebuild. Acquiring a top 3ish draft pick and the pool size that comes with it will help immensely. Yes. They should also trade for International Pool $$ and spend the full $8.3 million every year. Big jolt to the system.

Dylan Covey pitched in the AFL this year after missing a lot of 2016: http://www.athleticsnation.com/2016/11/20/...ll-league-title

http://www.espn.com/blog/keith-law/insider/post?id=5999 Law said Sox Struck Prospect Gold and praised deal on their end. Even said they acquired the #1 prospect in baseball.

This is outstanding. Selling high on Eaton is so smart the more I think about it. White Sox could have a top 5 system or so after 2 deals. Still have other guys to trade. You can't just try to fill spots during a rebuild. You have to acquire the most talent available. #3, #37, and Nats 2016 1st rounder. Awesome deal. Awesome day.
