QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Jul 21, 2017 -> 11:30 AM) Thanks for saying this. I am with you. Know what Delmon Young's bWAR was in a season where he had 46 doubles and 112 RBIs? 1.9. Sub level, by their own explanation. Yeah, sure, call up that interesting 25 year old from AAA and he should manage this! Easy peasy! What a load of s***. Uh, 1.9 isn't sublevel.

Yeah, Flowers was supposed to be average at best behind the plate but the Sox developed him into a good defensive catcher. If Collins has a good OBP, pop and can give us good defense I will take that every single day of the week.

QUOTE (Lillian @ Jul 21, 2017 -> 09:44 AM) You bet, "bmags"!!! If he played like Sizemore, before the injuries, we'd all be ecstatic. However, I really doubt that he'll be that good. Look at Grady's 4 years, between ages 22 and 25. He was as a star. If Rutherford becomes that kind of player, the trade was a big win for the Sox. LF - Grady Sizemore CF - Adam Jones RF - Jermaine Dye 3B - Kevin Millar SS - Alexei Ramirez 2B - Robinson Cano 1B - Jim Thome (later career) C. - Mike Napoli DH - Jose Abreu It's gonna happen guys... ... hopefully. Please.

Love this.

Watching the Kanny and Winston-Salem lineups, I'm really hoping the offensive productions rubs off on one another.

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Jul 20, 2017 -> 09:30 PM) Where can these numbers be found? I'd like them for quick reference when people say there's no evidence of improvement. http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playe...tion=C#fielding He's throwing out 40% of runners. For reference, Yadier Molina's career average is 41%.

QUOTE (Tony @ Jul 20, 2017 -> 09:27 PM) Is it crazy to want Giolito up here now, get a few starts with Cooper at the helm? What's the difference with him getting bombed in AAA and getting hit around for the 2017 White Sox at this point? Giolito needs time working with Coop and Shields badly.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 20, 2017 -> 12:20 PM) From a minor league depth perspective, I'm not sure there's too many organizations in a better spot than the Sox when it comes to catcher. Hell, count Omar in there as he should really only be entering AAA by this point. The Sox have legitimate catching prospects and the fact that Collins is seemingly developing well defensively makes me happy enough to offset his disappointing average.

I vote Yolmer as the utility infielder moving forward. Saladino's back concerns me.

QUOTE (GermanSock @ Jul 20, 2017 -> 03:31 PM) Article on fangraphs. Says hahn got a ton of talent but is leaning toeards the risky high ceiling lowish floor side (technically every prospect is risky but a benintendi less so than a moncada).teams are just very clingy to their high floor advanced prospects. I'd say he's gotten a decent mix of high floor, low ceiling and high ceiling, low floor guys.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 20, 2017 -> 01:21 PM) Steve bought another billboard huh? RealGM board.

Nice thing about Anderson is if Moncada and Jimenez play like they can, Anderson only needs to become an Alexei level player vs. a superstar.

QUOTE (2005thxfrthmmrs @ Jul 20, 2017 -> 11:05 AM) This reminds me of Hawk talking about Avi's ceiling. Too optimistic. That's reasonable for ceiling. Whether he comes close is another matter.

Draft comp was Grady Sizemore.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 11:05 PM) Juan Minaya with 13.5 K/9 through 18 innings. I'm watching. Flip him to the Yankees.

Luckily for John McCain's family, members of Congress will get to retain good healthcare.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/19/us/polit...re-iphone-share He's so very f***ed and he knows it.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 04:18 PM) I listed to it. Rutherford recommended by Hostetler, Kenny Williams and Buddy Bell. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also Hostetler.The scouting director with a dramatically different philosophy.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 01:28 PM) Older admins/mods with not a lot of team control left on their deals who had no value to Soxtalk during the site rebuild. Sorry Jason and SS2K5.

It seems that Trump's only business skill is not paying things he's supposed to pay for.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 01:36 AM) Engel? May? Mickerr? Slim pickings. Those three, that order.

Well, we're gonna have two really good picks these next two years.

QUOTE (RudyLawRules @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 01:07 AM) So is his draft day player comp. So you're telling me he'll be somewhere between Q and Kershaw?

QUOTE (RudyLawRules @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 01:00 AM) Hmmm... https://www.pinstripealley.com/2016/12/20/1...arting-rotation This is retroactively hilarious.
