Quin

That last paragraph is pretty f***ed up.

What would Q's perception be without Sale on the Sox? He's probably a 3 or 4 time All-Star

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 20, 2016 -> 06:57 PM) I challenge Sox talk to name one "good" president who was Republican. There's some serious partisanship on this board. I'm sure you'll go back to Lincoln. Or was he lousy too? Don't people who hate one party and love the other realize they are acting a bit silly? Roosevelt, Eisenhower. Challenge completed.

QUOTE (The Gooch @ Dec 20, 2016 -> 04:54 PM) Why does everyone seem to think Reagan was so great? Because all of the Republicans beat off to him? Essentially. Only reason why.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 20, 2016 -> 05:25 PM) Josh Fields and Hawkins/Barnum (to a lesser extent) would be more misses. The high profile one have to live with every day is Avi Garcia. Semien and Thompson, otoh, flashed potential last year...particularly Marcus. In a way, the high profiles failures with Dunn and LaRoche have caused most Sox fans to question their ability to identify any power hitters, but it's not like Frazier and Abreu are both chopped liver. He was talking about the all-power players that make it all the way through our system.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 05:11 PM) Well, no big trades in the past week. But the White Sox did do 19 transactions involving minor leaguers, Kannapolis is more likely now to get a new ballpark, and other news and notes all right here in the weekly recap. Catch up! Once all affiliates have a new park, the Sox will build anew.

QUOTE (FT35 @ Dec 20, 2016 -> 03:38 PM) To be fair...we don't see a lot of pure power hitting monsters come through our system. Unless they are "toolsy athletes" we generally avoid! That includes all players with any sort of baseball IQ. lol Who was the last? Joe Borchard? Dayan Viciedo.

Perfect game, gone by mid season.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 20, 2016 -> 12:21 PM) http://riveraveblues.com/2016/12/morosi-ya...uintana-148274/ Nice take from a Yankees perspective. Yankees blogs seem to pretty rational in regards to Q.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 20, 2016 -> 11:53 AM) Not for the price that Sale brought. The team that trades for him is going to expect the production that makes the prospects worth the trade. He just won't bring back the prospects that Sale did. there is a reason that Boston wanted Sale not Quintana in the deal. Quintana is a very good valuable pitcher. regardless, of contract (it does drive his value up) he will not bring the prospects that Sale did and you are going to be disappointed if you expect that. Take it for what it's worth, this was at the deadline. whitesoxdave ‏@barstoolWSD FWIW I was told the #WhiteSox turned down a Benintendi, Kopech, Johnson/Ball, and PTBNL package for Quintana from #RedSox

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 20, 2016 -> 11:45 AM) I would definitely include Die Hard and Gremlins as Christmas movies. Rocky IV, not so much. The best Christmas movies aren't even about Christmas. They're stories told during Christmas time. Iron Man 3!

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Dec 20, 2016 -> 07:40 AM) Reagan was a horrible president. And he actually had political experience.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 08:35 PM) He's damn near there already. Kid is legit man. Scouts are very high on him. Legit tools all around. Not being in AAA/MLB keeps him from getting to that status, but he'll definitely be there soon. That being said, that's why I assume he'd be available. A year from now and he'll be like the Bregmans, Benintendis, etc.

QUOTE (BRIRO2017 @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 02:06 PM) Q gets traded to a GOOD team, and he's their number 1? His numbers are going to be way worse. If you don't understand that concept you are clueless. You do understand that he played for the Sox, not the Knights?

QUOTE (beautox @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 12:51 PM) maybe not soo crazy.. from Dan's FG chat today Robles for Robertson...yes please. Smart people can say crazy things.

MLB Network: "Quintana isn't an ace, he's a solid #2." I swear Quintana could be an All-Star for the next three years, win a Cy Young and 20 games and people would still go "Well, he's good but..."

What's worrisome is if Russia and Turkey, a NATO state, go to war.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 12:36 PM) The photos are incredible. There was a photog in the room when it happened, somehow managed to get some incredible photos before and during the event. Seriously, take a look at them, and put yourself in that photographer's shoes. Honestly one of the most amazing photos I've ever seen.

The comments section of MLB Pipeline is fascinating. http://m.mlb.com/prospects/2016?list=mil

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 12:01 PM) If the Yankees said they'd part with Frazier or Torres for Q, which one would you prefer? And why? Torres. Think he's got a higher ceiling, more refined hit tool. And paired with Rutherford would make me ecstatic.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 10:16 AM) I've heard the market for Robertson described as "ice cold." Sox aren't getting anything of significance for Robertson. But Bruce Levine said we could get Robles.

My favorite part about this is that Soxtalk seemed resigned to waiting for a bit and the feeling was "only Astros are in right now, we'll just wait for a bit". Clearly Cashman is a Soxtalk poster and realized he needed to spice it up around here.

Torres, Rutherford, Andujar and Tate. Sound about right for Q?

QUOTE (Tony @ Dec 17, 2016 -> 12:37 PM) It's still too fresh, but early rankings for me would be: A New Hope Empire Strikes Back Rogue One Return of The Jedi Force Awakens Revenge of the Sith Attack of the Clones Sorry, I can't even put Phantom Menace on here. I really, really don't like that movie. At first I was going to have R1 4th, but it keeps growing on me after the fact. Right now I've got... Empire Strikes Back Rogue One A New Hope The Force Awakens Revenge of the Sith Return of the Jedi Attack of the Clones The Phantom Menace

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 17, 2016 -> 11:55 AM) They thought they were the next Mizzou, except for the whole running a train on a really drunk girl part. Also, seems like they got less backlash.
