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.

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.

Rutherford #6 in Sox system, Clarkin #18 per MLB.com

QUOTE (beautox @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 12:47 AM) This is a good deal for the white sox Rutherford's "value" is roughly 38M. I look at the deal like this Kahnle for Rutherford (i was expecting a return of two back half pieces for him say Bauers and Sanchez from TB) instead they got a top 30 prospect in baseball to along with two other studs in Jimenez and Robert Robertson for Clarkin - based off the $ remaining on his contract and the sox not eating any and the returns for doolittle and madson this seems right. Frazier for Polo & Clippard - I previously expected Frazier to bring back Swihart and Bell from the red sox so Polo if he becomes a 4th outfielder is a win. Hahn could've possibly gotten more by holding out on Kahnle but the FO loves Rutherford and they decided to be risk adverse in this situation, thats fair and its returned the sox another top 100 prospect and a LHP who could thrive in our system and a possible fourth outfielder for the next competitive white sox team. Congratulations to Hahn and Cooper for turning Gordon Beckham into Yency Almonte into Kahnle into Blake f***ing Rutherford. the take away Gordon Beckham is the gift that keeps on giving. I'm finally cool with the Yency Almote trade.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 12:24 AM) But seriously guys, we have like 12 bucks dedicated to the payroll going forward... #Q2020

And now it begins.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 11:18 PM) Sounds like Sox wanted Groome https://mobile.twitter.com/BostonStrong_34/...511315572547588 They did even better

Uh, if Tito Polo is the 3rd spect...rides entirely on Rutherford's shoulders

If the only spects are Rutherford and Clarkin, that makes this less than stellar.

QUOTE (iWin4Ron @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 10:34 PM) With Clippard coming back, we most certaintly need more than just Rutherford and Clarkin! +1

If you had told me last year Lucas Giolito would be our 5th or 6th best prospect, people would have been dumbfounded.

Holy s***, Rutherford is a great get. But gonna need like, three more names.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 09:39 PM) f***. WSD saying all quiet on the eastern front. And the Midwestern front?

I'm not gonna bother speculating because I don't want my dreams dashed
