QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 10, 2013 -> 05:31 PM) I don't know, I actually think that would be a really nice return. Agreed. And maybe you should post it in the Rios thread.

Oof. You need to catch that.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 9, 2013 -> 06:15 PM) I hope we have scouts at the Kannapolis game, as some big time prospects for the Pirates are involved in this game. I'd love Glasnow.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 8, 2013 -> 10:19 PM) da f*** Phegley, those are fastballs It's happened at least 2 other times in previous games. Not sure what the issue is.

I wish we had a Wil Myers.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 5, 2013 -> 06:55 PM) There have been some that suggested he would be a member of this rotation the next few years. If the team is in a prolonged rebuild I could see it.

Wow.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Jul 5, 2013 -> 07:43 AM) Don't expect an all-star. Expect a solid player who should be better than Flowers in nearly every area, once he settles in and relaxes. At least the passed balls should slow down. With fewer Ks. I expect similar defense and better hitting (eventually). His defense has supposedly improved, but it's by no means his calling card. I'd also be surprised if they aren't splitting playing time, at least initially.

Erik Johnson out after just 3 innings for some reason.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 1, 2013 -> 04:27 PM) This is the same GM who dealt Trevor Bauer, Matt Albers, and Bryan Shaw for Didi Gregorius, Lars Anderson, and Tony Sipp. I wouldn't rule anything out. Also, let us not forget the glut of starting pitching the Diamondbacks have in the minors. Skaggs, Bradley, Holmberg, and now Shipley. They have depth to deal.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Jul 1, 2013 -> 03:50 PM) We need position players.... We need solid talent period. The only starting pitching prospect I see that looks like a lock to contribute in the near future is Erik Johnson. You take the best players that are available in these trade talks.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 1, 2013 -> 08:56 AM) So the rumors are off of Billy Hamilton and towards pitching? WHY? We need hitters desperately, not more pitchers, unless they have the potential to be elite guys. Stephenson and Cingrani are legitimate pieces. I don't think Hamilton is in play. Winker could be a pretty good bat. I'm all for taking the best possible offer there is. A surplus of pitching isn't a bad thing, especially when the only real established starting pitching prospect in the minors is one guy; Erik Johnson. Take the best value you can get, especially when limitations exist in trading partners. Edit: And these aren't rumors regarding specific names. Just some of the Reds top prospects.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Jun 30, 2013 -> 06:57 PM) John Fay, beat writer for the Cincinnati Enquirer, had something on Twitter today about the Reds being interested in Crain. Hamilton, Stephenson, and Cingrani are probably close to untouchable. Would personally love if Hahn could pry away Stephenson though. Jesse Winker is also a guy worth targeting. If you could somehow get Travieso thrown in there as buying low, that'd be great too.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 30, 2013 -> 02:23 PM) Rosenthal talking about Rios being a fit for the Pirates. http://msn.foxsports.com/video/MLB?vid=035...5d-d860f4161446 They have some exciting prospects in their system that could be a fit (obviously not Taillon). Bell Hanson Glasnow Kingham Polanco All legitimate prospects I'd be interested in. Polanco might be untouchable though.

Are there really people that think the White Sox are going to compete next year?

Burdi is a local guy for those unaware. Downers Grove South. He was drafted by the Twins out of High School.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 30, 2013 -> 01:45 PM) Kris Bryant may be added to that top 3 list yet. No he won't. He's going to sign.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 29, 2013 -> 06:16 PM) I think there's one other player who has played in every inning (at least in the AL)...for some reason, I thought it was Adam Jones, but that might be wrong. Machado.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 28, 2013 -> 08:29 PM) Viciedo is in the doghouse with Ventura. He should be after that base-running gaffe.

Hahaha.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Jun 28, 2013 -> 06:20 PM) lol why are you guys even watching this? I like baseball.

Lotsa doubles.

Not going to lie, pretty amused by this game so far. I hope Hawk blows a gasket.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 28, 2013 -> 04:50 PM) We just chased their starter in two-thirds of an inning in the first game of a double header. Lol.
