Quin

Gotta see Montas or Adams in the AZL, right?

A lot of people would say pitcher defense doesn't matter, but that Grantland article on Buehrle would say otherwise.

Hey guys, let's try to keep this topic on Hawk's comments and not the overarching societal issues in America, lest we move this thread to the Buster.

Getting Aiken would be neat.

QUOTE (QuickJones81 @ Aug 13, 2014 -> 08:49 PM) Rodon, Montas, Adams, and Danish are exciting. We haven't had a collection of pitching talent like this in the system at once since 2000-01. Hopefully this group fairs better. And to think, not too long ago Erik Johnson was our prized pitching gem. And you just have to hope EJ can rebound next year, then toss in names like Beck, Wendelken, Jaye and Martinez that have all shown flashes. But man those front four can be special.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 13, 2014 -> 08:30 PM) good night for the farm it seems. Montas is back so quickly I thought he was done for the year with a knee problem? With the Sox med staff anything is possible.

It almost seems like there's no way we don't see Rodon up this year.

Hahn also orchestrated Chris Sale's extension. Trading for Avi, Montas, Rondon, and Wendelken. Drafting Anderson, Adams, Danish and yes, Rodon. Trading for Davidson was a good move and still can have pay off, plus trading Jeff Soptic for Conor. Signing Noesi off the scrap heap all KW style. Give it time. And yes, f*** the NYC Review team.

Atta boy Gordo.

If they overturn this it will be hysterical as Posey will be on the receiving end.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 13, 2014 -> 12:03 AM) It sucks that Hahn is gonna have to likely overpay for a closer this offseason due to this group of relievers sucking and the injury to Jones Damn I miss Jones.

Story we did at work about why Robin Williams' death is hitting so hard. http://www.newsy.com/videos/why-the-death-...itting-so-hard/

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 11, 2014 -> 09:47 AM) Again, Mitchell looks a whole lot different if he doesn't destroy his ankle in a spring training game. Of course he wouldn't be Mike Trout, but no one is. People forget that Mitchell looked reaaaaally good before that injury.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 08:25 PM) I was surprised to see two girls playing in the LLWS. One of them pitched a shutout today. Mo'ne Davis. Fastball is 70 MPH and she has a pretty sweet curve. That's crazy for any 13 year old. I hope she keeps playing baseball.

Wilkins being a lefty power bat has made him Lillian's top prospect

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 08:36 PM) The 2nd best team in baseball doesn't have a single lefty in the bullpen. http://www.losangelesregister.com/articles...ngels-left.html

That is beyond idiotic.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 01:56 PM) The defense is a huge problem moving forward. That and the bullpen. The future does not look bright right now as the team currently stands - current players and minor leaguers. Lot of work to be done by Hahn to get this team out of the division cellar. Alert everyone: Micah, Semien, Sanchez, Danish, Rodon, Montas, Ravelo, Martinez, Davidson, Anderson and Hawkins are all not things to look forward to.

Unless Soler is an MVP candidate, Sale is a better contract.

Crazy thing is Danish is 19. He can still add arm strength.

Nice inning by Hector.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 9, 2014 -> 06:53 PM) And Rodon!! Those are some good pitching prospects. To me Rodon is a given. It's just nice to have Montas, Danish, Adams, and even Beck and Bassitt behind him. If just two of those guys figure it out (or EJ rediscovers...everything) then there are your two righties to compliment Sale, Quintana and Rodon.
