QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 26, 2014 -> 10:56 AM) s***, that's a nice haul for Boston, considering Peavy's poorness. Escobar had a terrific 2012 and 2013 and Hembree should be a really nice reliever. Indeed. It really seems like a seller's market. I hope Hahn has something in the works with Danks/Alexei at this point.

QUOTE (PolishPrince34 @ Jul 19, 2014 -> 07:24 AM) Even though the Angels system blows that is a nice haul they got for Street. I'm fans of Lindsey, Alvarez, and Rodon. Shocked they gave up that much plus more Pretty nice haul for a reliever.

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS 4m #astros made 3 offers friday, the 2nd w/30 mins to go, the 3rd, at $5M, w/5 mins. aiken side: no counters. he just said no

Jeff Passan ‏@JeffPassan 6m Scary Astros possibility: If Nix wins grievance to pay agreed-upon $1.5M, Houston 17% over bonus pool, would forfeit next two 1st-rd picks.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 18, 2014 -> 04:47 PM) Not sure how that works (I'm guessing you're correct), but I don't mind either way having a protected or unprotected 1st round pick. Odds are very good that the Sox will not sign someone requiring draft pick compensation next year anyways, and if they do, I can pretty single handedly assure you that we as fans won't give a rip because we will either love or hate the signing itself. Top 11 will indeed be protected because of this.

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS 1m #astros made multiple offers to aiken to try to bridge the gap. offered close to $5M. there was said to be no counteroffers. Reply 3 Retweet Favorite

The Stros are going to have one hell of a draft allotment next year.

UCLA or JUCO time for Aiken. No Aiken, Nix, or Marshall. Silly Astros. You f***ed up.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 18, 2014 -> 01:48 PM) Braves are releasing Uggla. I'm waiting for the Caulfield thread about picking him up.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 18, 2014 -> 12:58 PM) Let's get Aiken with our savings on Quintana and Sale He's not going to be a free agent.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 18, 2014 -> 12:06 PM) I'd love to add Wieters. Why? He just had Tommy John surgery, he's a free agent after next season, and he's also a Boras client. All good things.

Rodon to Arizona to keep working out and to make a start. Then to W-S on the 28th. http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/unsig...140718_28079456

No.

Cool. It was obviously going to happen. Bit earlier than expected too.

God I hope not. Pukeworthy.

Trade him.

7 K's through 5 for Danish. Also 2 H no BB. Like.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jul 4, 2014 -> 10:45 PM) Don't battle the resident nerd. Dude has never actually seen a baseball game in his life, but he'll tell you all about it. Sabr and s*** like that. Soxtalk decided to make all the internet dudes mods. Jake has become the only dude that actually knows wtf he's talking about. Good job Soxtalk. Witesoxfan, eminor, rabbit and the rest of these lame ass douches have become the voice of White Sox baseball. Bunch of b****es. They will continue to project players they've never actually seen. Wow. How long have you been holding that in? For someone who consistently s***s on Gordon Beckham, you sure can't take it when people do the same about your guy huh?

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 4, 2014 -> 10:58 AM) Maurer seems reasonable. Any of those Red Sox names and we'd be absolutely laughing, enormously doubt the Sox would do that though. This. Those Red Sox prospects that were named are a pipe dream. I'd be okay with Maurer. His minor league track record is legit. Obviously needs to figure it out at the next level still, but that's what one should expect in a return for DV.

Jacob May doubles in his first AB. Dude is smoking hot this month.

I love Marcus Stroman. Really wanted him in the 2012 draft. Stuff is stick. The slider is super nasty. Height be damned. Excited to see him pitch.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 27, 2014 -> 09:15 AM) I think it also jives with the fact that the Sox have now promoted him to AAA. If the Sox were worried about this, he wouldn't be there yet. He was sent back to Birmingham after the game.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jun 26, 2014 -> 06:55 PM) 3.2 IP 2 Ks And for the record, I sure hope Beck proves me wrong. Lord knows the system needs some pitching.
