Apparently, Obamacare has reeked havoc for 17 years. You can't make this s*** up

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jul 24, 2017 -> 02:16 PM) I'm far too young to have seen him play, but a 75 grade hit tool is beyond ELITE. That high of a grade I would reserve for players with numbers like Ichiro, Ted Williams, Pujols, Miguel Cabrera, etc. guys who flat out raked. Fox's grades would likely end up looking like: Hit : 60 Power: 20 Run: 50 Field: 60 Arm: 50 FV: 60 player Considering how little he struck out, I have no issue giving him that stupidly high of a grade.

It also probably stands to reason that Nellie would have a few more Ks and a bit more pop with the evolution of the game. But still, he would have a 70+ hit tool, if not an 80. Would you take this with your pick: Hit: 75 Power: 30 Run: 50 Field: 60 Arm: 50 (I have no idea how to rank Nellie's arm, not having seen him play) I'm basically imagining Yolmer Sanchez (thanks DA for the comp) but with elite hitting.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 24, 2017 -> 12:21 PM) If he uncovers something or is getting really close, Mueller is going to be fired anyway. Obviously I could be wrong, but I think there is no way he survives long enough to see Trump's taxes. My guess is he's already seen them, hence Trump going into DEFCON Orange.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 24, 2017 -> 11:43 AM) Trump now referring to Sessions as "beleaguered". Can't understand why he isn't going after Hillary. He does realize he was the one who hired him, I would think. What happened to all the dogs Trump promised to put on crooked Hillary after he won the election? For a guy so concerned with "fake news", it's actually been his specialty for over 30 years. Why not fire Sessions? I don't think democrats would make a stink this time. Keep him for now. A new AG can fire Mueller, Sessions can't.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 23, 2017 -> 11:29 PM) I disagree. You can be for government assistance, personal freedoms and still want conservative financial philosophies. Not far right ideas. But more towards the center. I don't understand why a conservative has to be against social liberties. This article is more crass than I'd like, but https://qz.com/936052/you-cant-be-socially-...y-conservative/

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 23, 2017 -> 07:28 PM) I don't think that's a mixture of both. They're supposed to be socially liberal and fiscally conservative.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 23, 2017 -> 06:27 PM) we will get right on that I prefer we send him to some faith healer in Colorado.

At this point I'm just hoping they end up with Beer as either an underslot or he develops his defense to stick in the OF. Considering the best player in franchise history was a DH, if his bat plays, his bat plays.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 23, 2017 -> 06:16 PM) Not only that but make it harder for them to get to the postseason. That and keeping the cup. WE MUST KEEP THE BP CROSSTOWN CUP

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 23, 2017 -> 06:10 PM) Have you been to one? You gonna compare it to the Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, or the hospital closest to your home? If your kid is hurt or sick, you gonna send him/her to the DR? Why take chances. If he is hurt, get him over here and fix him, then re-hab him here, and develop him here. I mean, the hospital closest to my hometown botched a surgery and made my best friend's father paralyzed from the neck down and only after 12 years of rehab is he actually able to walk. Can't drive, can't play catch, etc. It was a herniated disc. And no I'm not going to send my future kids to the DR because that's f***ing stupid. I live in NYC. But then again, not every single patient in the US goes to Mayo or Barnes-Jewish. Also, the Sox very likely have their own medical staff tending to their own players. And my god, if our hospitals are 100% fool proof, please explain the Chicago Bulls.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 23, 2017 -> 06:07 PM) Spoiler. She is awful. I really wish a third party would emerge. Any time they do they put up an asshole for president. Run on a mixture of right and left. Call it centrist or something. You'll get votes. Lots of Americans are socially liberal but economically conservative. So, the libertarian party?

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 23, 2017 -> 04:51 PM) Jimenez 3-4, 2B, HR, 2 RBI Yrizarri with a good day as well. Yrizarri even had a walk!

QUOTE (beautox @ Jul 22, 2017 -> 11:49 PM) I highly doubt we'll be able to extend Moncada/Robert/Rodon below market but the rest of the core I think Hahn will go to great lengths to lock up and control future salaries. '21-'23 is when this projected core is going to get very expensive through Arbitration. If any GM can lock up a core for below market price, it's Genghis Hahn.

I mean, if we're gonna apply modern day grades to old time players, Nellie would have some absurd 70+ rating for his hit tool. His power tool would be low, but goddamn he could hit.

Rex Hudler on Moncada: "He's like the Royals' Raul Mondesi"

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 22, 2017 -> 07:38 PM) Ha... well I guess it's good to aim high. Still lower than deals starting with Kelly

QUOTE (beautox @ Jul 22, 2017 -> 07:09 PM) The FO was likely debating if they could sign Rutherford with his love of the yankees and commit that he signed when he was 14 and passed, they viewed collins as the best college bat. Benintendi was their target but was off the board when they picked, nothing you can do about that and Fulmer was rushed through the minors in order to help a dying team. Some are already saying the sox have a historic farm system no one has ever had 10 ranked in the top 100 even if you throw collins and fulmer off Hansen and Dunning should get consideration. Tatis was a mistake hopefully they make less of those going forward, the good news is the latam was able to identify him. Also even the vaunted Astros aren't with out their missteps; Appel over Bryant, Aiken over Rodon and releasing JD Martinez in '14. So again whats the point of this thread? The Astros so thoroughly blew those picks and they were way more obvious decisions than Fulmer/Happ

Yeah, Kelly isn't coming back. Fortunately the Sox have interesting names at catcher. I'd be asking for Perez, Sierra and Ryan Helsley for Avi and Swarzak.

Lmao now Jill Stein is getting investigated by Mueller and spouting off "FAKE NEWS" Jesse Ventura getting his own show on RT.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 22, 2017 -> 02:21 PM) If "half" the prospects make it, the Sox are going to be the best team in the majors in 2020 and 2021. If half the prospects make it, dear f***ing Lord. There will still be people complaining about Fulmer tho
