Quin

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Jan 9, 2017 -> 09:15 PM) @FisolaNYDN Derrick Rose attended the Knicks morning shootaround in Westchester, according to a source close to Rose. I don't like where this is going.

Honestly if someone like Jo doesn't know, then that's concerning. Him being an egomaniac would be a relief.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 9, 2017 -> 08:24 PM) Agreed just hate the idea of Newman being the 2nd best bat we get in return for three best trade chips He's the #42 prospect in baseball. If he's the second best bat, that's not a bad place to be. Just for me if it's a 3-player deal, Meadows needs to headline. But if you added Hayes or Diaz? Yeah, I'd take Glasnow/Bell/Newman/Hayez or Diaz for sure.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 9, 2017 -> 08:12 PM) The tweet is great because it is nothing remarkable. Sox want Meadows? Pirates are offering prospects? We knew none of this! The number of prospects is interesting, at least.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 9, 2017 -> 08:08 PM) We gonna get our rumbunter on again? https://twitter.com/rumbunter/status/818638418213224449 3 prospects, but no Meadows? Ehhhh. I could only imagine Glasnow, Bell and Newman would be the offer in that case. But if we're only taking three, I want Meadows.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 9, 2017 -> 04:10 PM) Actually I'm confused too, the artilce is talking about negating all of the top LH pitching with sale/price, etc. Then Melky is even better!

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jan 9, 2017 -> 04:01 PM) I'm confused. If it says they are seeking another left-handed bat, why are you showing his stats vs Left handed pitching? His lefty stats aren't bad either. .289/.344/.789 Not world beating, but useful.

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.
