Yes, all in. Sox need a true defensive CF.

In the 2016 edition of its prospect handbook, Baseball America lists Woods as Miami's 15th best prospect. Further, it also lists Woods as the 2016 Miami Marlins Breakout Prospect: "With his top-of-the-scale raw power, Woods slugged 18 homers at Low Calls A Greensboro--but can he conquer the Florida State League? Later in the write up it says that Greensboro is an an extreme home run park. Intrigued by this player.

This really aggravates me about Putnam. He has been hurt for over a month and should have been on the DL. He was unable to pitch so many times in May/June and because Hahn did not put him on the DL it caused issues with the Sox bullpen depth.

I was at the College World Series this weekend and watched Collins and our draft picks from Coastal Carolina. Great experience if you ever have the chance. I was unable to log in to Soxtalk from my mobile phone or I would have provided some updates. Excited for Collins!

Interesting pick. What his his college commitment? Clear that there is a change in draft philosophy regarding college players and those with some baseball acumen.

Trade Danks now if you can!!!

Diehard Sox fan here living in Springfield. This WGN situation just kills me for the Sox and Blackhawks. The crazy thing is that I am also blocked out as local in Springfield due to the proximity to Chicago (200 miles) and not St. Louis (95 miles) for both the MLB and NHL expanded TV packages. It just sucks, and as Murphy's law would have it, almost every time I am free to watch a game, I get shut out. Here is to a great season though!

Fowler is not worth giving up the draft pick.

Friends, I have held out hope all winter but in my mind with the recent Nationals interest, he is not signing with the White Sox. Let's hope Hahn has a plan so the Sox players are not dwelling at "being left at the alter" by Cespedes.

I keep reading from A's fans that Beane is going to "fleece" Hahn again like with Shark. My belief is that is not the case, I would take the first round draft pick over any of the four players that the Sox gave up. Thoughts?

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Nov 8, 2015 -> 03:42 PM) Like 2 days ago. Ok, I thought teams still had a window to negotiate with their own free agents. Maybe that has changed, just surprised no one has signed yet if it is all open.

When is the first date that free agents can begin signing with the clubs?

Rob Mackowiak. Now, I might have to be upset for how we was positioned, but what a disappointment. Navarro would still get my first vote.

If the Sox trade for Upton or Cespedes and give up Anderson, Montas, or Hawkins it clearly shows that KW and not Hahn is running the show. I want the the Sox to win desperately, but player development needs to be the key trait of this organization. If the Sox were in first place by five games, different story.

I'll be there Saturday with my wife and two children. Pumped.

Will Zangari be a pitcher of hitter/1b for the Sox?

Did any previous White Sox draft picks who did not sign get drafted by other teams this year?

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 12:49 PM) They had a sprinkler break overnight, that caused flooding. The game started late, but they said the field was ok to play. Then Anderson got hurt. Inexcusable to play. Was Crash Davis in Tennessee yesterday?

Bassitt #6 and Ravelo #10 on Oakland's list.

Which of the nominees are LH bats? I voted for Brantly for that reason alone.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 07:12 PM) I really get the feeling Jason Castro will be a member of the Sox very soon. I think the Sox are done "spending" but I don't think they are done making moves. I have the same gut feeling, great post.

Still in shock that Hahn was able to obtain Shark for this price. If the Sox had Shark and received this package in return we all would be squealing. Nothing new to this post, just need to say it all again. Great day team!

I love Rich Hahn, what a night!! This is just awesome!

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 24, 2014 -> 05:47 PM) My comment is why Danks over Sierra nothing more. Agreed, you could not have said this any better. Kind of liked Sierra as a fourth outfielder.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Oct 8, 2014 -> 03:47 PM) And Paulo Orlando used to be a member of our org. as well. Didn't KW trade him to the Royals? Ross Gload?
