Man. Eloy. I'm in love.

Beer is abysmal defensively. Unless the hit/power tools are truly completely otherworldly, I'd be a bit hesitant drafting him at #1 or #2. It's super early though and luckily we have the entire prep/college season to pore over the options. I'm hoping a few of the other position players (Turang/Kelenic/Swaggerty/Eierman) separate themselves from the pack so it's not even close. Will be fun to follow regardless.

I have missed you reverse standings thread.

There is a 2018 Draft thread already for what it's worth. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=101273

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 26, 2017 -> 08:22 PM) Two straight gems 107 pitches. 70 for strikes.

Kopech with 12 SO's through 6. Wow.

O'Neil isn't even on BA's updated top 100. Though I do like this trade for the Cards.

QUOTE (Superstar Lamar @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 02:03 PM) I think the Sox will have an opportunity to draft Beer and choose someone else I'd wager you are correct. Luckily there will be plenty of worthwhile candidates with a pick this high.

Ken Rosenthal‏Verified account @Ken_Rosenthal 13s13 seconds ago More Source: #Yankees close to getting Frazier, Robertson and Kahnle from #WhiteSox for prospects.

Jon Heyman‏Verified account @JonHeyman 13s13 seconds ago More yanks are very close to a deal for frazier, robertson and kahnle, sources say. all 3, it appears.

Maybe the White Sox are throwing Bruce a bone for once.

Is Bruce just Brucing?

Bruce Levine‏ @MLBBruceLevine 42s42 seconds ago More The Yankees are the team closest to getting a deal done with Chicago Wh Sox Robertson-Frazier and Kahnle going if deal completed

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 03:05 PM) The next Bryce Harper according to some - a college kid who won't hit in the bigs according to others Naw. Bryce Harper actually has defensive value. Beer has close to nil.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 01:10 PM) Haha, you seem excited Dirty in a sense. Excited for the tank to get tankier. Plenty of position prospects on this list. Though early, I'm sure that will make some folks happy.

Kudos to Hahn on not budging. Can't fathom complaining about this return. Let's see some Robertson trade magic next. Or maybe some Kahnle.

BA posted a list of 2018 draft prospects to get familiar with. http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/2018-...list/?amphtml=1

Do we really need two active Q threads at the moment? They are both discussing the same thing.

I wouldn't want to wait either considering there are more pieces that also need to be moved.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jul 8, 2017 -> 09:03 PM) I wouldn't mind having that Vandy SS somewhere in the draft. I can't remember his name though... EDIT: Ok, it apparently wasn't Vandy....ugh. I can't remember who it was, but Longenhagen was kind of gushing over him a month or two ago. s***, I can't remember. Probably thinking of Nick Madrigal of Oregon St.

Jon Morosi @jonmorosi 44s Sources: #Brewers are prepared to buy at Trade Deadline and have begun background work on Jose Quintana, Sonny Gray and other starters. @MLB

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 23, 2017 -> 10:06 AM) I would not consider extending him for more than the average MLB salary and I would love it if the Sox traded him next month. Same. Hearing anything on him being shopped?
