Quin

QUOTE (Con te Giolito @ Jan 9, 2017 -> 03:52 PM) Its too quiet around Quintana right now. Especially after that little blip last night...I sense an awakening. Snoke, stop trying to make things happen.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 9, 2017 -> 03:30 PM) If Turner is in our rotation in 2018, something really crazy happened. Jacob or Trea? Cause maybe we trade Q to the Nats and pitch Trea Turner.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 9, 2017 -> 08:01 AM) Keep in mind we had Quintana and Santiago coming out of nowhere that season. Nate Jones and Addison Reed. What did we use, something like 13 rookies over the course of the entire year, mostly in the bullpen. Q and Santiago have to be the two randomest no ones to All-Stars in recent memory for a while due to their sustained success (outside of this last year for Hector).

Kellyanne Conway's quick hits: - “She sounds like 2014. The election is over. She lost." Ok, yup, you won. So now take all of the criticism that comes with the most powerful position in the world. - "Why can't you give him the benefit of the doubt, the way the benefit of the doubt was given to CNN’s polling, all of its analysts, everybody in the word saying. That is not what he did and he has said that a thousand times, as he tweeted out today, he has said a hundred times. You always want to go by what’s come out of his mouth rather than look at what’s in his heart." Well, there's footage of him doing it. And no, he can try to be more tactful considering he's going to be the goddamn President. - “I didn’t hear her even use her platform last night to give a shout out to the mentally challenged boy who last week was tortured live on Facebook for half an hour by four young African-American adults who were screaming racial and anti-Trump expletives and forcing him to put his head in toilet water." Ah, I'm glad "BOTH SIDES!!!" exists now with f***ing Hollywood actresses.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 9, 2017 -> 06:24 AM) Poor orange baby hands is so mad at overrated Meryl How dare she be eloquent and talk about how he mocked a disabled person!

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jan 9, 2017 -> 01:45 AM) But seriously.....our AA and AAA staffs could be unreal with the likes of Giolito, Glasnow, Kopech, Keller, Lopez, Dunning, and Fulmer in them. Those are 7 good to great pitching prospects. Makes my pants tight just thinking about it. Don't forget the following: Hansen, Adams, Stephens, Guerrero, Solorzano, Lowry and (hopefully) Hickman The only big issue is that's a whopping 13 righties, with one lefty in Guerrero. But, god damn. Just add Rodon to that you'd only need four to pan out. You'd have to trade some of them for hitting at that point.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jan 9, 2017 -> 01:04 AM) Because testicle... Of course. Also cause Cespedes isn't a FA.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jan 9, 2017 -> 12:22 AM) Take your pick: Glasnow, Keller, Newman, Hayes, and Diaz Or Tucker, Martes, Paulino, Davis, and Stubbs Pirates.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jan 9, 2017 -> 12:11 AM) Talking a little with that Pirates blog tweeter, I tweeted him a counter offer of.... Glasnow, Keller, Newman, Hayes, and Diaz and he replied that he would be ok with that deal. As Sox fans, I think that would be a killer deal for us that allows them to keep Meadows and Bell. I'd be fine with that. If Newman sticks, Moncada to CF. The pitching Death Star gets death-ier

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 8, 2017 -> 10:06 PM) Not sure we should go in freak out mode the guy said multiple times he didn't know players involved. Plot twist: James Shields instead of Q.

Don't forget McConnell blaming Obama for Congress overriding his veto, because they didn't thoroughly read the bill.

QUOTE (striker @ Jan 8, 2017 -> 03:52 PM) It is interesting when Yankees, Pirates and Astros fans say that Quintana is not worth the prospects. They could conceivably keep Quintana for 2 years and still get a haul for him in 2 years if they flip him. They run the risk of his value going down but that same risk could be said for hanging onto prospects. Pirates fans do.

QUOTE (2005thxfrthmmrs @ Jan 8, 2017 -> 11:54 AM) It sucks, but what's new? This franchise has been cursed in developing hitters. We have not developed one single position player in the last 16 years. It's really an incredible feat when you come to think about it and how many good hitters has played in the MLB in that time span, and none of those were developed by the Sox. It also hurts to see some of our mid tier prospects got traded away and found success with another org, guys like Chris Young, Chris Carter, and Paulo Orlando, maybe we'll even be sour with Tatis Jr. a few years down the road. Paulo Orlando spent seven seasons in the minors. Chris Carter is awful. Chris Young had one good year and would be ripped alive here for the entire span of his career. If we're counting those guys, then we might as well count Semien, Viciedo, Trayce, Beckham, etc.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 8, 2017 -> 11:35 AM) The Basabe of today would have been the White Sox top prospect a year ago. Per MLB's Rankings 2015: Anderson #38, Fulmer #42 2014: Rodon #19, Anderson #81 2013: Davidson #64 Basabe would have been top in 2012...man, our MLB.com Top 5 was Trayce, Hawkins, Charle Leesman, Nestor Molina and Keenyn Walker.

I need Baez in any deal with the Cubs.

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Jan 7, 2017 -> 10:59 PM) Wonder what that means for Eddy Alvarez. Would have thought he was looking at the SS job in Charlotte. I'd guess next to nothing. Eddy is probably safe as he as upside and no checkered past. QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jan 7, 2017 -> 11:01 PM) I absolutely love this signing. He's young and full of potential. Sarcasm? He's 30.

QUOTE (Tex @ Jan 7, 2017 -> 01:19 PM) When will we start to address the mental health crisis we have in America? Check back in four years.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jan 7, 2017 -> 08:28 AM) Oh I get it and Russia is laughing just like it's been laughing for years at us now. I was referring to the fact that the emails still existed whether Russia or my mom leaked them. Aren't you glad they were leaked? I feel like even the weird radical leftists (who would tend to support Bernie's super-progressivist ideas) would be happy. These are the people who typically supported Asange & Snowden before they helped Trump, & typically hate the idea of big corporate greed funding campaigns. I can address my personal thoughts on US/Russia in a different post but I think the point here is that blaming the messenger to avoid the message is weird. Let's take the example further- what if the emails proved Hillary say... had some people killed. Would you still only be mad at Russia for proving it true, and still vote for her? Or would you be thankful the corruption was unearthed? Not really, cause outside of Podesta's risotto recipe nothing in those emails touches a Donald Trump Top 10 Most Worrisome Tweets

QUOTE (southside hitman @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 06:19 PM) Good post. I know you guys like Eddy, but Adam Engel is a no-brainer for me here. He is a freak athlete and has extremely loud tools who has shown he is capable of putting it all together in short bursts (2015 AFL MVP). The White Sox played with his pre-swing mechanics last season and it kind of set his production back, but he has an extremely high ceiling if it clicks for him. My interview with video is below if you want to check it out. http://www.chicagonow.com/future-sox/2016/...iew-and-videos/ To me, Engel isn't low key considering how highly ranked we've had him in the Sox T30 in the past.

And Balta is right - if the Pirates don't trade Cutch, then they don't have room for Meadows. It's not like they can DH Cutch.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 06:31 PM) Q is worth those guys + but doesn't mean their teams will trade them. That said, I don't think anyone is ever untouchable. Maybe the 'Stros don't want to include Bregman but that could change, same with Meadows and anyone else. There's no reason for posters to keep yelling that "Bregman wont be traded" every time he gets mentioned. No one knows if that's true or not. Moncada wasn't even worth mentioning he was so untouchable and Eaton wouldn't command Giolito, Lopez and Dunning.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 05:57 PM) Eddy Alvarez, followed by Eddy Alvarez, then Eddy Alvarez, also Brian Clark, Nick Delmonico and Adam Engel but mainly Eddy Alvarez. #EddyFanClub

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 05:45 PM) I said if Russia is guilty of switching votes, etc., this is UNPRECEDENTED. Why would the VP of Trump be allowed to be president when the Russians got him in office as well? Because we have literally zero protocol for this.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 05:42 PM) If I felt like the Sox would make a serious run at Machado in a few years, I'd prefer them to get Meadows to lock down CF for the foreseeable future. However, I don't see that as a realistic possibility so I'm hoping they get Bregman and tank hard enough in 2017 to get Seth Beer. Something to note if they tried for Machado. Moncada could move to CF, while Bregman could go to second.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 05:34 PM) Like I said before, I'd be OK with him getting kicked out of office before he takes office. Let McCain or Herman Cain or somebody like that be president. Or cite an emergency and let Obama serve two more years and have another election in two years. As long as it's not Hillary I'm OK with dumping Trump over this Russian interference issue. Even Bill would be OK, just not Hillary. If it can be proven Russia doctored votes then I'd think Trump could be declared ineligible for office. It's unprecedented, but if Russia influenced the vote, don't we need another election? Do you have any idea how the government works? Trump Pence Ryan Hatch Tillerson Mnuchin Mattis Sessions Zinke Ross Puzder Carson Chao Perry DeVos Kelly That's the Presidential line of succession once Trump takes office.
