Quin

What did the anonymous GMs say it would coat Milwaukee for Q or Gray?

Also Mitch.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 02:06 PM) He tried to tsk tsk the Democrats criticizing Trump bragging about "grabbing them by the p****" because it was hypocritical because Democrats want government out of the bedroom. Every. Single. Scenario. breaks down to "actually the Democrats are bad" The Democrats are mainly guilty of not lowering themselves to the GOP''s level of villainous behavior.

Any deflection, hand waving, both sides argumenarguments are sad at best and delusional at worst. The only time Democrats did something of this magnitude was when their party was based in the South.

QUOTE (beautox @ Jul 10, 2017 -> 10:50 PM) I'd love to see a return of Torres, Sheffield & Mateo or Florial. That would also alleviate some of the yankees upcoming 40 man crunch issues. I'd be beyond ecstatic with that return

Man, it's strange that the Sox could be the team that decides the World Series, like the Yankees last year.

So, who are the suitors for Q? Astros Yankees Brewers Dodgers Braves Cubs Rockies That's a nice large group of bidders.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 10, 2017 -> 11:21 AM) Yep he has all the makings of a top 5 prospect in a year or two. Some scouts suggested to the Baseball Prospectus expert that he's a top ten guy right now That is phenomenal news for Micker! I still have a feeling that Tatis wouldn't even be mentioned around here if not for that trade. He could be raking in the minors for the Sox and people here wouid be going "yeah, he looks interesting but his BABIP is too high and he strikes out too much."

My ideal Q scenario is trading him to the Nationals, hopefully they win a ring, then comes back here to be the veteran rock for Rodon, Kopech and whatever other two prospects perform the best.

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Jul 9, 2017 -> 03:39 PM) Quintana and Robertson for Robles, Soto, Kieboom, and Fedde. Who says no? Add Swarzak and it would be incredibly hard for them to say no. Robles and Soto is like a slightly less Moncada and Kopech. Kieboom and Fedde wouldn't fill out just a Q package but Robertson and Swarzak would necessitate it. You give them the best shot at making the World Series. Man if Eaton didn't get hurt that would make them terrifying.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jul 9, 2017 -> 02:00 PM) It's their 2nd, 3rd and 6th best prospects for a SP who's ERA is 4 and WHIP is 1.3. It's the #77 prospect in baseball headlining a package for a Top 12 pitcher over the last five years that is left-handed, durable and signed for dirt cheap for three years past this season.

QUOTE (2005thxfrthmmrs @ Jul 8, 2017 -> 06:16 PM) GUYS HE'S OK. His instagram story an hour ago shows him trying on some tight ripped jeans. He needs to get out that GAP equivalent before the DR bandits get him.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 8, 2017 -> 04:40 PM) For every guy that has fallen back, they have had a guy step up. Micker, Guerrero and Stephens are others who have taken big leaps forward. The Sox have the #1 prospect in baseball, plus 5 of the top 100, and maybe another 5 in the next 100 as well. Moncada Kopech Robert are all definitely in the Top 100 I could see Giolito, Lopez and Collins still being firmly in the Top 100. Fulmer probably falling out. Hansen should be in. Dunning could be knocking on the door.

QUOTE (coco1997 @ Jul 8, 2017 -> 04:23 PM) Looks like Braun is hurt again. Maybe they'd take Melky in a package with Q? Q, Melky, Kahnle for everything. Get creative Rick!

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 8, 2017 -> 03:14 PM) In no particular order.... Mil NYY Colo San Diego Atlanta Houston Boston 2 or 3 others are toss ups. Our top 4 teams are a collective 40 or so under .500. I know, I know this means nothing, but if they were 40 or so over .500 everyone here would be raving, including me. Our first rounders have hurt us, not counting Burger, of course. QUOTE (beautox @ Jul 8, 2017 -> 03:22 PM) Milwaukees prospect have stalled as much this season as ours and they don't have near the high end. I agree with NYY, Colorado has graduated a ton of talent and Tapia is going to be off lists shortly and Pint well possesing elite stuff hasn't lived up the billing of the #3 pick. I could see how you might consider SD above our system in terms of low minor talent but thats questionable. Houston's system has taken a hit with graduations, PEDs and under performance and in my eyes they were behind us to begin with. Boston? their systems high end is decimated outside of Devers, Groome is back but already had a lat strain this year, and their depth is a lot of 26 year old former top prospects with a ton of question marks. NYY and Atlanta are both pretty clear cut. In no world is Boston a better farm than ours. Rockies have Rodgers, Pint and McMahon. San Diego I need to see over time. Houston has taken hits. The Sox have had some guys take a step back, but have also had players like Hansen and Dunning surge forward.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2017 -> 03:50 PM) Brewers could really use Kahnle Qahnle for their entire Top 5.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 8, 2017 -> 12:58 PM) Thanks for posting. While I wish there was Kris Bryant type college bat at the top, it sounds like Turang, Kelenic, & Gray are all elite high school talents. I'd be happy with any of those three and I think we'll have a great chance at one of them. Well, you've got Beer's bat. His glove however...

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 7, 2017 -> 11:09 PM) Ask the DR witch doctor where we will send him. $50 MM outlay and we leave the kid in DR. You do know that the Dominican Republic has hospitals, right?

QUOTE (beautox @ Jul 8, 2017 -> 12:36 PM) I would rank them post draft as such Braves Yankees Phillies White Sox Padres Astros Rays Dodgers Cards Brewers I can agree with those. But if we had Tatis, we'd be #1 for the next five years.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 8, 2017 -> 02:24 PM) There's two common types of injury to the meniscus, which is like a pad that your knee joint uses as cushioning, lateral and medial tears. Usually a lateral tear is considered worse than a medial tear but often times in young athletes if it's minor enough to where he was playing on it, rest is the prescribed course of action and if the pain persists than you go under the knife for a repair. If it's a one time thing there's no worry but if it's something chronic for him it will impact his career and be something to worry about. As for the idea that this injury was caused by being in DR that's just laughable. This could happen to any young athlete, anywhere, especially one ramping up activity after a period of inactivity in their chosen sport. The Sox no doubt have very good doctors and facilities down there to evaluate him, that's not even a minor concern IMO. If he does have to have surgery, which is unlikely given the seeming severity, he will probably have it done in the States. For now we just have to wait and see how his knee feels in a week or two. The best case will be he's back in action, the worst case will be the pain and inflation persists and he has to have a surgical repair. But even then, it's a very common procedure, NBA players have it quite frequently, and as I side, unless it becomes a chronic issue, it's a one time repair and the player returns 100%. I sprained my meniscus in highschool and tore it my senior year of college. I thought being in the USA would protect it.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Jul 6, 2017 -> 04:09 PM) Saw Spider-Man this morning and I couldn't stop smiling the entire time. Easily my favorite Marvel movie and one of my favorite CBMs ever. I was really excited for this when they announced that it was going to be a John Hughes inspired movie but I hated all of those awful trailers and Iron Man's inclusion had me worried but he's not a big part of the film. It might be the funniest MCU film too. Keaton was awesome as Vulture. I loved how they got a bunch of famous child actors to play Peter's classmates in the movie like the boy from Beast of No Nation and the little girl from the Nice Guys. I don't want to spoil anything so Ill stop there, all around awesome movie. Homecoming The First Avenger Guardians The Winter Soldier Dr. Strange I've got Civil War Homecoming Winter Soldier Guardians 2 The Avengers

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 7, 2017 -> 10:53 PM) I know this sounds like heresy, but this Farm System is not in Top 5. What five do you rank higher?

Greg, those are quotes from a five-story tall American war robot named Liberty Prime from the video game Fallout 3.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 7, 2017 -> 12:43 PM) It's like they could've had Cleveland by the balls, especially with their 13245 picks, and yet they completely f***ed it up. They could have had... Thomas - Butler/George - Hayward - Johnson - Horford with Smart off the bench. Hell they could could have had George AND Butler with all those damn assets.

Instead of Brinson, see if they'd compromise on Ray-Hader dual headliner.
