Long way from Great Falls.

If he goes to arbitration next year, what is he likely to get? $6-7 mm?

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 23, 2017 -> 05:55 AM) I wish they'd promote him. He'd be a lot more interesting if producing in AA. Unfortunately, Alvarez & Peter are blocking him. Neither doing well.

How can you not pull for him?

Great recap.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 22, 2017 -> 07:08 PM) Who had Avi hitting .343 on June 22? Not Robin.

As an out of towner, I seldom get to hear Hawk any more, since the baseball package usually uses the home announcers. Not tonight. I'll miss him.

Besides Carlos/Yolmer Sanchez, has any DSL player ever made it to the White Sox?

QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Jun 21, 2017 -> 07:26 PM) And with Fulmer's inability to strike anyone out right now I'm not sure how much better he would fare in the pen. Future isn't looking bright for him. Wish we hadn't put him on the 40 man last fall.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 21, 2017 -> 07:50 PM) White Sox practically groom him as a player from a young age is a sweet story. Who plays him in the movie? Not Tommy Cruise.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 21, 2017 -> 03:05 PM) http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/pro...p?P=Grant-Green The Internet is our friend. That 2009 draft haul by Oakland resembles a lot of White Sox picks.

Even though Hansen struggled in 2015-16 in college, he did well this year at Kanny, and Low A is vastly superior to college ball. If I were a Doctor, I would characterize his last year at OU as a 'Hiccup".

Anybody know name of his agent?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 02:21 PM) An interesting release to start the season... Matt Eddy‏ @MattEddyBA 51m51 minutes ago #Athletics release 25-year-old 1B Rangel Ravelo, part of return from #WhiteSox for Jeff Samardzija. Hit .262/.334/.395 at Triple-A Nashville Ravelo now with Memphis Redbirds. 35 games, .339/.414/..514/.928.

Who or what did we give up for Youkilis?

There used to be talk here of Rockies being interested in Q. They just promoted #1 Prospect Rodgers to AA. All he did at High A was hit .400 with 12 HRs in 48 games.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jun 20, 2017 -> 12:10 PM) VOTE VOTE VOTE! That's what cub fans are doing.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 20, 2017 -> 11:35 AM) Kahlne has no track record to speak of, I highly doubt we get a top 100 guy for him. If so it will be 80-100 range His record is pretty consistent over 4 years or so (2014-17). I'm not sure of two things, tho: Why did Rockies let him go, and why did Sox send him down last year? Cannot remember. Don't forget, he has always been on s***ty teams.

Kopech getting the start at All Star Game Tuesday.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 03:47 PM) Torres needs Tommy John apparently. I wonder if the Yanks would make him available for Q. On his non-throwing arm. Edit: Just saw this was mentioned earlier.

Are you over or under?

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 12:30 PM) Exactly. If I were Cashman, I'd much rather spend big on the 2018-19 free agent, in particular the positional guys, rather than spend big on the starters who will be available this coming offseason. If that requires trading some prospects away for a cost-controlled TOR starter then so be it. The new luxury tax is a legit hinderence to the traditional big spenders. They now have to be much more strategic on how they spend their money. Not too difficult, since this is the last year Yanks have to pay ARod and Sabathia.

Mike Morrison with another routine inning.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jun 16, 2017 -> 06:34 PM) The reality is we just don't really know what we have with him yet. Physical specimen? Yes. Exciting prospect? Of course. But there are many many dudes who can run into one but can't hit MLB pitching. We're going to need at least the rest of this season to make any type of useful guess at a timeline. Only if he faces US talent, whether it be Great Falls or Kanny.

Northsider, what have you heard about the top 2 picks?
