Quin

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!

QUOTE (daggins @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 11:28 PM) He's been solid, but he's a middle reliever, whereas those other three are absolutely high leverage guys. Teams need guys like Beck to win games, but guys like Beck don't bring much in trades. For the most part, teams can find their own Beck, but not everyone can find a Kahnle or Robertson. Meanwhile the Nats can't find any

Holy s***

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 06:56 PM) I worked with speed skaters and the Long Beach State water polo team at the Olympic training center in colorado springs one year. there is no contest. The water polo teams were the best fit athletes of any group at the center. Their workouts were insane. Their warmup was 5x500 yard swims with 100 sit ups and push ups between each. Then the workout started. If have never seen another group work as hard and long as that group. The counter point would be that Alvarez is an Olympian.

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 05:25 PM) Let the legend of Montes de Oca die in peace (please) NEVER

Rabbit called it

It feels like this draft is less about hitting big time potential and more just strengthening the backbone of the system. I'm ok with that

QUOTE (2005thxfrthmmrs @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 12:47 AM) Aside from Rose's ACL, Lebron is the main reason Bulls has fallen back to misery after their resurgence. So I will root for that b**** KD over Lebron any day I get that, just watching basketball message boards shrug at KD winning is hysterical.

It's funny cause KD still a b**** tho

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 11:52 PM) with a side of Fry. And corned beef from Manny's Deli

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 11:15 PM) Absolutely. Sox have exactly what they need. Soto, Kieboom, Luzardo for Robertson, Swarzak - do the Nats say yes?

Nice thing for Washington is they could get a Robertson+ bullpen package.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 10:03 PM) excuse me while I scream at this bulls*** competitive balance section. It's beyond moronic. QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 10:04 PM) Comp balance picks always struck me as B's. Why would some teams get additional draft picks because they are in a small market? I don't know if there is a single team more f***ed by this than the White Sox.
