QUOTE (ChiSox1917 @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 09:45 PM) If only one more it's got to be someone in the Yanks top 15. Hoping for either Florial or Andujar, but wouldn't be too surprised if it was Mateo Mateo would piss me off

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 09:36 PM) Wow to get Rutherford for a rental that's not that great, closer we had no use for, and a middle reliever having a career year? Total steal. Nice work Hahn Totally get this point of view. But looking at it like giving away 3 above average MLB regulars for a kid in A ball seems scary. Need to see a little deadline desperation piece added.

Jerry Owens was terrible, just terrible.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 09:33 PM) Man, I agree with the first part. I would have never traded both Robertson and Kahnle for Rutherford. Especially if we are taking back Clippard. Yes seems light AF

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 09:19 PM) Probably doesn't help that he can't hit a ball off a boat into the f***ing ocean either but yeah Lol have you ever tried?? The f***ing winds out there man

QUOTE (gosoxtim8 @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 09:17 PM) so who going our closer now since robertson and kahnle are going to be gone? Dont think we're going to need a closer this season man

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 09:13 PM) I'm just here for the record. Ah i see you over there by the tank

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 09:13 PM) They just traded Robertson, an underwhelming 3B and a reliever who has had 3 good months for a top 40 prospect + more. I feel ya. Just wondering if Kahnle was better to hold for a deadline haul. In Hahn I trust.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 09:12 PM) Remember when Todd was a healthy scratch? Clarkin Shmarkin is my opinion for the record.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 09:08 PM) Just ran Todd Frazier's expected BABIP through a calculator and his xBABIP is .284. That would mean (assuming a similar split between types of hit, slightly weighted towards singles) a batting line of .264/.375/.546. That's a lot more of a valuable deadline piece than he looks now, simply attempting to remove luck. Don't know how I feel about a Rutherford headliner. It's coolfor a DRob or Frazier trade, but including Kahnle too? Kahnle is the guy you hold until 11:50 on trade deadline night for absolute pillaging.

QUOTE (SonofaRoache @ Jul 15, 2017 -> 12:59 AM) I get that scoreboard watching is fun, but in all honest picks 1-5 are a crapshoot anyway. From 2002-2014 there were four guys that lived up to the hype. I don't care where we draft, as long as we find the right player. I feel ya. I think position really helps if there are some generational guys at the top. Hopefully that is the case.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 05:16 PM) Gambling on the odds that you're going to luck into 3 drafted superstars in a 4 year period + have a HoFer sign a below market value contract with you is a ballsy bet. Yea but the alternative sucks. Never winning it all. Might as well try to become the eastern warriors and wait it out.

Nice job sir! Super excited about this absolute freight train of a team you are developing. Get a good a good night's sleep- you earned it. But don't sleep in tmrw because we expect you to get back to cutting nasty deals.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 08:07 PM) It doesn't matter but the thing is there's no reason not to do it either. Yea and I really like Micker nestled between those two. Should see some nice pitches. Does anybody know the scoop on Jake Elliot's stuff? Seems like his inning load is consistently 1-3 IP. What's the thinking behind that?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 08:25 AM) The blood of his penis! Absolutely! Best post in years

QUOTE (Username @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 09:57 PM) Apparently his velo has bumped up to touching 94+ as of late. With his control and advanced pitchability he could really take off if he keeps striking people out. Good Lord the farm system is getting stacked

I want Brian Mundell from the Rockies more than any other player in MiLB. The best part is he would be a secondary piece. Please Hahn. 50+ doubles last year. Crushing this year.

So do you all think the Sox leaked the "Quintana is moving soon" bits to get the 29 other GMs to grab their nuts n get to work?

Do people with MiLb.tv accounts get video highlights of all the games just like on MLb.tv? Are some people getting to see all the bombs, kopech Ks, hansen stuff etc?

I admit I've had as many doubts about Gio as anybody, like basically along the lines of "man just seems like maybe that guy lost his stuff". Because even in his good starts the stat lines seemed like maybe he just squeaked by with balls hit at guys. Striking out 10 at any level is legit. Way to man up. I'd love to know if he felt like he had great stuff because it's what you do with your bad stuff that makes you a major leaguer.

I thought we'd never have to talk about this terd salad again

If anybody wants to explain the NBA cap and what typical salaries are like I would love the schooling. Football makes bo sense to me either.

QUOTE (joejoedairy @ Jun 30, 2017 -> 02:42 PM) We have a lot of good young pitchers. Well said! So many. Any other teams rival the Sox in pitching depth?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 28, 2017 -> 05:26 PM) I don't want conflict with Russia, but I don't see how what I want determines whether they actively interfered in the election last year and will continue to try to do so in the future. I guess I'm not really sure what you mean by your post What he's probably saying is all countries have been meddling in elections forever. Pretending this is some sort of news is the problem. It was only made public to take the heat off Clinton and now continues in an effort to undermine Trump. Obama should have never made any of this public, that's the problem. It completely embarrasses Western democracy giving legitimacy to it. Acknowledging it publicly is the best thing that could have ever happened to Russia. They messed with the West and for some stuuuuupid reason, we gave them credit. You gotta keep that s*** under wraps, like we have for decades. That's Rule #1. People actually think this is new and that it's serious, that's the problem.
