QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 07:26 PM) Happ now with 7 homers, 218 average but 800+ ops. Schwarber still mired under Mendoza Line at .171 Should have traded Schwarber once it became clear he couldn't field.

Lmao, if James Shields is what turns Giolito around.

We didn't, so please stop generalizing. And if we're going to generalize, the biggest snowflakes are the GOP right now.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jun 15, 2017 -> 09:55 PM) Well it was a 'good guy with a gun' that saved them, so why not? One of the members stated that if it wasn't for the one guy standing up and shooting back, he would have walked around the dugout wall and shot them all. Would you rather they all be dead to satisfy your anti-gun stance? You always imagine a scene where everyone whips out a gun and goes to shooting, but that doesn't happen. You don't need everyone, just a few. My gun is to protect ME. I have no desire to be hero-on-the-spot, I am not rushing to go shoot the bad guy, but if he is trying to shoot me, I will shoot back. Assuming I am not in a gun free zone, that is. The counter argument is the Dallas shooting last year. There were s lot of good guys with guns.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jun 15, 2017 -> 12:50 PM) I really want that third pick and hope two go before Beer. If we don't get him then I really would hope we take Gray over Kowar. If Burger and Beer doesn't happen, you'll hear Brooks Boyer flip a table.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jun 15, 2017 -> 08:38 PM) Not true. He is returning to Oregon State next season. His Coach and the University President are behind him -- publicly. As of now, he will be part of the team next year. None of knows what he did or didn't do 6 years ago, and I'm not so sure that this is doing any good for anyone other than the so called journalist who broke the story. No one knows who tipped him off. I doubt if it was the victim's family We do know, because a real journalist investigated.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jun 15, 2017 -> 03:20 AM) Cool, so we drafted a 50 year old. He is instantly old for every level. Or did Scott mean great-grandson? Trump is 70 with a 10 year old

QUOTE (Soha @ Jun 15, 2017 -> 01:04 AM) Might be posted somewhere else, but Bleacher Report listed the Sox as losers of the draft. They didn't like the Burger pick, and in general thought the Sox were in a position to be bold, but instead played it safe. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2715517...gramming-league It's amusing because Callis loved their draft and he was one of the biggest Kendall backers.

I will add: f*** this guy. Make your damn point at the ballot. Thank god the police were able to save the day.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 15, 2017 -> 12:25 AM) Why? All these incidents are heartbreaking and horrible for the USA. Because nothing will happen. Ryan's speech felt hollow. I hope Scalise lives and that this never happened, but my heart doesn't ache in this case.

Sleep.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 05:57 PM) http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/14/politics/pau...lise/index.html Paul Ryan gave an excellent speech...no arguments with anything said If only it was given when a grade school got shot up.

I'm so wildly indifferent to this shooting it's insane.

Who is Coleman? All I'm seeing is he's Vandy and from the ACE program

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 03:01 PM) Yep. The more pieces that fly around, the more complicated the deal gets. I can't believe it didn't dawn on me. Rick would only get this complex for a three team deal, which we know he loves three ways.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 02:22 PM) I mean this is where I say it doesn't do the Sox any good to "bundle." We are not selling out of a junkyard on American Pickers. The only scenario wherein it makes sense for us to make this sort of deal is for quality, IMO. Quality = Robles. Basically, I am willing to overpay to meet your need in order to get back THE player I absolutely believe can fill a great need of my own. Otherwise, I'll trade you Kahnle for Soto and 2 other pieces, or Robertson for Kieboom and 2 other pieces. At least that is how I would envision it. I'll admit I chuckled at American pickers.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 02:08 PM) Then they aren't getting the entire back end of our f***ing bullpen. Fair. I could see Fedde, Soto, Kieboom and one more piece. But I just can't help but think the Miller and Chapman hauls we're abberations.

Guys, Robles isn't happening without Moncada or Kopech going back

Hypothetical: What would you ask from the Nats for Robertson, Kahnle AND Swarzak

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 01:05 PM) Montes De Oca picked by the Nats. Let us never hear his name again. He becomes a PTBNL in a bullpen trade to the Nats, just for the lols

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 10:47 AM) His home runs are always no doubters. You see him connect and you know he's so strong it's gone. It's also like Caulfield said - not often you see someone launch a ball foul then follow it up with something more monstrous

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 10:25 AM) Bryce Montes de Oca is still on the board. Sox drafted him out of high school as their backup plan to Rodon. They've been keeping an eye on him, that I know. Might they draft him again? He is eligible. Had TJS, high risk profile, but lots of ceiling. Obligatory Quin wants the Mizzou guy post

That grand slam was gorgeous

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 10:30 AM) 2 top 100 prospects for Tommy Kahnle? There is no way he would fetch that in a trade given his short track record of success. I think something like Robertson + Kahnle would definitely bring back 2 top 100s and a flier

Thoughts and prayers!
