LOL if the White Sox had Baez, everyone on the board would love him. This Cubs thread on the WhiteSox message board is a real treat on a bad day sometimes.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 10:20 PM) Adams 5.0 IP, 4H, 0R, 0BB, 9K 40 strikeouts and 2 walks in 27.2 IP. Ridic. I loved the Spencer Adams pick at the time and I love it still. Any chance he will get promoted to Great Falls soon?

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 09:34 AM) Possible, yes, but extremely unlikely. All involved players would have to clear waivers, or be included as a PTBNL. Danks is likely to clear waivers, but we don't really know what other teams and players were involved in the deal. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/writer/jon-he...still-be-traded

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 08:05 PM) Anyone mention James Loney? That's who I always envision Ravelo as if he sticks/makes it to the bigs. Loney is a great Defensive 1B. I brought up Nick Johnson and somebody else brought up Casey Kotchman. Daric Barton played for a long time for Oakland without much power.

QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 06:40 PM) Callis gives 5 extra prospects in addition to hit top 20, still no Ravelo: http://jimcallis.mlblogs.com/2014/08/01/bo...ts-nos-21-25-2/ Man, I've always liked Callis but it's such an awful list with no Ravelo or Rondon. Just bad.

Mark D. Robertson ‏@GFTrib_MRob 18h Two roster moves from the #Voyagers today, LHP Chris Freudenberg promoted to Kannapolis, RHP Luis Martinez promoted from AZL. #mtscores So Chris Freudenberg to Kanny Luis Martinez to Great Falls.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 05:50 PM) I'd be curious to see what details he has here? Teams? Player? Could this be revisited in the off season? Hahn was on 670 this morning and said that it was for a long targeted player. He also said that it "could" be revisited in the offseason. I'm going with Yasmani Grandal. He was in the lineup and warming up and then was scratched for no reason. Sox have been interested in the past.

Steve Gilbert ‏@SteveGilbertMLB 53s #Dbacks getting power-hitting catching prospect Peter O'Brien from #Yankees for Martin Prado.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 02:03 PM) Milone for Fuld.... De Aza couldn't be traded for him? Fuld is a better player than De Aza. Fuld has an bop of .370 and plays great defense.

Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale 3m The #Pirates claim RHP Angel Sanchez from #Whitesox Open 40 man roster spot.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 04:39 PM) Yeah, Hahn's job is to figure out where the sweetspot lies. As for Lackey, he'll be a tough get I think...the Red Sox hold an option on him next year for the league minimum. Reports on twitter though that Lackey will definitely be moved because he asked to be traded. Only making $500,000 next year.

U-God @SBN_UGod · 2m The Yankees are potentially interested in Viciedo AND Danks? What's your game, Cashman?

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 03:07 PM) Probably not much of a chance they'd make him a qualifying offer anyway. Masterson will be a true free agent without compensation attached now. He's a guy that the White Sox could realistically sign without giving up a draft pick.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 03:20 PM) If the Marlins want to send up this year's competitive Balance pick and a B prospect I imagine they'd get a nice amount of salary relief in return. Not sure why they'd do that but hey it's the Marlins. How about Danks and $$ for Competitive Balance Pick and Jacob Turner? I'd be ecstatic.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 02:34 PM) If the Yankess arent in play for Danks why do they keep calling? What would the holdup be, Rock? Prospect package or $$?

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 11:28 AM) Very good chance that Lackey will be part of Lester deal. Rosenthal clarified that he meant separate deals. It read funny the first time.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 11:04 AM) http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/07/top-...2015-draft.html Okay. I stand corrected. I didn't see this. I was actually going off of Tim Dierkes's original report from the day that Aiken didn't sign. MLB did something about it and rightfully so. Sorry guys.

When is Chris Sale pitching again?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 08:22 AM) It will be 11 due to the Astros incompetence. It is normally the top 10 that are protected. If a team does not make a qualifying offer, the free agent is not subject to a first round pick. This is not true. Why do people keep saying this? It's still the top 10 only. I've said this like 5 times on this site already. A couple years back, the Mets couldn't sign Bourn for the same reason. It's the top 10 picks even though the Astros have 2 of them.

Peter Gammons ‏@pgammo 1m SF, A';s, teams needing 2B sifting through Valbuena, Cabrera, Hill, Prado, Beckham...

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jul 29, 2014 -> 11:36 PM) Only if we get a protected pick right? Yeah if they aren't in the top 10, I don't think they'll be signing a protected free agent. Just doesn't make any sense.

Reply Retweet Favorite Josh Norris ‏@jnorris427 11m @stoltz_baseball 87-90 last inning, but the changeups and slider were unreal.

I think some of you guys have Rondon way too low. If the dude hits like .220 he's a lock for the major leagues with that defense.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jul 28, 2014 -> 10:28 AM) If everything clicks for Barnum you have a Ryan Howard in his prime type of player. If everything clicks for Ravelo you have Billy Butler. These are prospects lists that are all based on projectability. Ravelo's got a better shot at making the majors but Barnum has better shot at being an all-star in my view. It is a gold mine if Barnum learns better pitch recognition and fixes the hole in his swing, skills that can be learned through repetition. While Ravelo is only 10 months older, he has almost 1000 more PA's than Barnum does (1603-674). I think a better comp for Barnum is former WhiteSox prospect Chris Carter.
