Ethnically/culturally/racially, whichever you want to go with, I identify as Jewish. I've got a lot of friends in the same boat - barely or not not religious at all, but a core part of our identity.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 8, 2017 -> 02:08 PM) Paul Ryan. And the rich people that tell him what to do Ding ding ding. This puts my father's health/life at risk. So unless Republicans come up with an alternative that costs 1 iPhone 7+ a year, f*** them.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Mar 8, 2017 -> 12:07 PM) Unless the Sox think Diaz can become a dominant set up man or closer (if Burdi falters), I would've asked for another bat in place of him...but maybe that's just me. Lord knows we could have used one. If Diaz becomes a rock steady setup man behind Burdi, that's a good get for a fourth piece.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 8, 2017 -> 07:57 AM) Obamacare that will drop about 15 million insured and dramatically increase costs over the current Obamacare, all the while having a much larger negative impact on the poor. It's the worst of all worlds. We're definitely calling this Trumpcare.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Mar 7, 2017 -> 05:30 PM) The White Sox should reprimand all scouts who had any say in acquiring Shields. As cheap as the Sox are, they sure throw away a lot of money due to bad decisions. Then why not let you pitch or Fathom or Caulfield? Just sign some independent league guys to make sure we lose. I can't imagine anybody with a brain paying money to go to any game Shields pitches at the Cell. Same with Holland for that matter. Why would you pay good money to see those stiffs pitch?? I can't believe those of you who love the draft trust our front office to draft impact player(s). There have been so many busts in the past or guys not worthy of being a No. 1 pick. Just look at the Sox history. Cause of the MLB union / Holland might gain some value back

Love Skanberg's work.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Mar 7, 2017 -> 05:54 PM) Since this is the Trump thread, rate his performance so far. I'd give him a 5 out of 10. Despite all the screaming from never-ever Trumpers who would never give him a chance, he hasn't done anything despicable yet, though the new healthcare plan might be even worse than Obamacare. I could give him a 3.5 or 4 after that comes out. I'd give Trump a 9-10 as a businessman. I read somewhere he's worth $3.7 billion. That's a lot of loot. p.s. I'd give Obama a 5-10 as President. As a person I'd give Obama a 9-10. Seems like a great man. 0. He's done nothing productive.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Mar 7, 2017 -> 03:38 PM) Basabe is certainly the wild card in the Sale trade. If he turns into a solid starting CF there's very little to complain about even if Kopech and Moncada don't turn into stars but only solid regulars themselves. The Sox have been killed by having too many "scrubs" a long with their stars. League average production out of CF starting in say 2019 would be a god send for this club. Call and Basabe give me hope for the OF.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Mar 7, 2017 -> 10:04 AM) This is pretty amazing. https://twitter.com/mattmfm/status/839097965050544128 f***ing LOL

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Mar 6, 2017 -> 11:33 AM) Not sure that is close to being true anymore. Yes, they still have Abreu, Moncada, and ~Rodon, but the Dodgers are probably the team with that claim at this point. I'm including the teams history. Abreu told me that weighed on his decision. Here's an old proof of concept for my documentary where he says it, password is "minnie". The Cuban Comet from Daniel Shapiro on Vimeo.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 6, 2017 -> 10:40 AM) As long as we are talking about after June 15, the money will be pretty close. Then the White Sox have a pretty nice list of reasons to fall back on as advantages for a player like Robert to come here. Before that date, money can be a huge factor, and probably will be. Similar rule change is what let us get Rodon, once they put the cap limit in the draft. Sox are practically baseball's Little Havana.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Mar 5, 2017 -> 07:44 PM) Maybe he's the toughest non-partisan SOB in Washington. Chaffetz string arming the Hillary news seems more and more likely.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 5, 2017 -> 07:44 AM) http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/story/chicago...s-robert-030317 It's being reported Ynoa is close friends with him as well...might turn out to be the key to the Shark trade, haha. That would be phenomenal.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Mar 4, 2017 -> 05:39 PM) Obama wiretapping an incoming president adds to his legacy as the most criminal and disgraceful piece of garbage president in our countries history. Anyone who supports the s*** he has done over the last calendar year is an absolute dumpster person. The democratic party is a hypocritical laughing stock. So ..Proof?

QUOTE (New Era on South Side @ Mar 4, 2017 -> 05:30 PM) Huh? I've tried to give him a chance but don't agree with his policies so it is hard to. To me, he is growing more ridiculous by the day. This Obama claim is hard to believe too. He's joking

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Mar 3, 2017 -> 04:33 PM) Careful, your bias is showing. Mike, I like you and appreciate your posting, but you seriously need to stop with your petty comments towards admins when anyone disagrees with you. If you want to hold Admins/Mods to a higher standard, please hold yourself to it.

I really want examples of what people want as depth and examples in other farms.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Mar 3, 2017 -> 01:28 PM) While our system is dramatically improved from last March, I wouldn't put us top 3 right now due to a lack of depth Our system has nice talent in the top 10, but gets significantly less interesting beyond that Landing a player like Robert, drafting well this season and a few trades (Quintana/Robertson) could really boost the system further You're not going to really find a system loaded 1-30. Who would you rank above the Sox, other than the Braves or Yankees?

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Mar 3, 2017 -> 01:35 PM) Hard to say what a Boston for Q package would even look like at this point Devers would be an absolute must to headline, along with Groome being the second piece. Groome is very young and likely does not fit into our timeline as a prospect Can't see it happening He'd fit just as well as Kopech

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Mar 3, 2017 -> 11:18 AM) No. 3 on our list of @MLB's Top 10 farms is the revamped @whitesox, led by Moncada, Giolito, Kopech, Lopez & Fulmer: https://t.co/JGI5PMnd68 https://t.co/WDdHUCWpow https://twitter.com/MLBPipeline/status/837712973678379010 Pretty cool how close their Top 30 is to FutureSox

Overload of prospects?

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Mar 2, 2017 -> 07:35 PM) Catcher I believe should be top 3 for sure. I went back and forth on that, but I feel like that position has taken a hit the past few years. Hence the question on if it should.

QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 2, 2017 -> 06:30 PM) So....lock him up? pence-used-personal-email-state-business----/ It being an AOL email makes this amusing.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 2, 2017 -> 05:40 PM) Darin Erstad didn't play a premium position? Darin Erstad was a two time gold glove winner in CF, and the metrics back it up. Darin Erstad absolutely played a premium position. How are we ranking the positions in terms of premium? I'd probably go... SS CF 3B RF C 2B LF 1B So where do we draw the line?
