Spring Training notes thread
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.

Update: Luis Robert has been cleared according to Rosenthal
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.

2017 Republican Thread
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

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.

White Sox will be ranked #1 #2 or #3 at mlbpipeline.com
I really want examples of what people want as depth and examples in other farms.

White Sox will be ranked #1 #2 or #3 at mlbpipeline.com
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?

David Price Reports are Surgery NOT needed..
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

2017 MLB DRAFT
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.

2017 MLB DRAFT
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?

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Mar 2, 2017 -> 01:33 PM) I would probably take Devers and their 4 next best prospects. Probably a pipe dream, but I'd do it. Yeah, I'd do that. Devers and Groome are some nice headliners.

Updated teams interested in Q
QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Mar 2, 2017 -> 11:56 AM) If Boston needs replacement for Price, best FA available could be Doug Fister. Industry speculation: Will BOS use Devers to pursue Quintana? https://twitter.com/Buster_ESPN/status/837360517106794496 Lmao. I can't believe I'd have to pull for the Red Sox.

President Donald Trump: The Thread
“I’m not aware of any of those activities,” he responded. He added: “I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I did not have communications with the Russians.” Are hearings under oath? If so, Sessions committed perjury, right? https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...m=.f44c8b47ec94

President Donald Trump: The Thread
QUOTE (greg775 @ Mar 1, 2017 -> 05:09 PM) True, but at least give him credit for one good night. As one of the most negative people on here, even I get sick of negativity every so often. Please read Van Jones' take on Trump. He did a fine job last night and though I think he's still pretty evil, I can hope, can't I? Hope that things get better. Like I said before, he loves America. If he somehow turns around the economy, I'd be very happy. Remember, I was a Bernie supporter. But nooooo ... it was Hillary's right to be the nominee and the DNC wouldn't give Bernie a shot. I HOPE Trump is the answer! USA! USA!! http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/01/politics/van...nntv/index.html And for those who want to dream big, Oprah in 2020?? http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/01/politics/opr...il_bottommedium I thought you didn't like sloppy joes and that they made you ill.
