Quin

All praise be unto him.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 24, 2014 -> 10:13 AM) I'm not going to get too worked up about this until signing day is near. Also, I doubt there is a player of his caliber available at 4 next year. Boras knows that. Hahn knows that. Player of his caliber wasn't supposed to be available at 3.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 24, 2014 -> 02:07 PM) I know, I'm just looking for bullets to use against him. The Jason Park-Tim Anderson Top 50 thing was excellent ammunition. Micah Johnson making the Future's Game is another nice bullet too. Also the fact that he's only selling fantasy sports books on Amazon is a good bullet against him.

Looking at his numbers...why'd they outright him? I'd definitely give him a shot over Sierra.

Simmons tweeted that a team of Rose-Afflalo-Melo-Gibson-Noah-Butler is possible. That'd be fun.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 23, 2014 -> 10:41 PM) Um, Keppinger brought back absolutely nothing and was released. Isn't that the same thing as worthless trade value? Forget it, he's rolling.

Maybe this next year will play out like last year... Coming out the gate around .500ish. Falter. Trade non-future pieces (Gordon, Putnam, Danks, Dunn, MAYBE Alexei and Dayan) for young prospects. Sign some nice international prospects (Ynoa and Alfaro). Sign a Cuban defector (Tomas). The savings from Sale and Quintana's deals will help towards this. High draft pick. Hope Year 2 pays off. That being said, I'd rather they get into wild card contention.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 23, 2014 -> 09:56 PM) Not in order. Forgot about Tyler's brother. How he does his older brother does in the next 12 months in pro ball will have a lot of bearing on his brother's draft spot, one would think. And Skye Bolt's the coolest name ever for an outfielder, other than maybe Toe Nash. The Kolek brothers have very different builds.

Don't wanna get on the tank train again, but man, it's beginning to look like it's on the horizon.

I had to go run an errand...we were up 4-3. What the f***.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jun 22, 2014 -> 10:57 AM) I would probably be a supporter of a different ranking system that focuses on how close somebody is to contributing to the MLB roster. Afterall, that is the idea of the term prospect. Hawkins sure is strong, Danish has the quickest release on the planet, Anderson can hit etc, but these aren't grown men yet, so you have to talk subjective ceilings & floors ad nauseum. Check this out: we don't even know if Adams' body can handle 150-200 IP on a consistent basis and we want to say he's a top prospect for our ML Club. Get to AA, prove your ability to be a healthy horse, prove your dedication to your career, and then let's get excited. I think exceptions to this system might be generational potentials like Harper, Trout, Kolek etc- guys that just have IT, or just enough of IT to warrant expedited ascensions through systems. Unless I'm overlooking somebody, IMO our top 2 prospects are Semien & M Johnson and it ain't even really close. Davidson & Rodon would be the top of the next tier. And part of growing up and maturing is not only physical but mental. Sometimes it just clicks for a guy all of a sudden and he sees the game in a different light. Can't predict that s***. Rodon would still be the top prospect.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 22, 2014 -> 09:29 PM) Rose prefers Love, but won't f***ing do anything about it. Jesus Derrick, even Scottie Pippen seems to be trying to recruit for the Bulls. http://www.csnchicago.com/bulls/report-der...carmelo-anthony The report was put out Love's camp

Little Havana!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 18, 2014 -> 01:12 AM) Geez, MSNBC's Chris Matthews is in love with Hillary. What a paid commercial his Hardball show was tonight. What is the deal with these announcers? Republicans: Devil. Democrats: Saintly. WTF? QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 19, 2014 -> 05:47 AM) All cable news is biased and opinionated now. Flip on Fox, you'll get the other way. There just is no news channel that is in the middle anymore. MSNBC = democratic platform Fox News = republican platform CNN = used to be middle, now Malaysian airplane platform. Also, in Israel I learned that Bill Clinton is their most popular choice every year for Prime Minister.

Error ends the perfect game.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jun 18, 2014 -> 08:46 PM) Can I get a simple explanation of Super 2, please? http://www.fangraphs.com/library/business/super-two/

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 18, 2014 -> 08:28 PM) While Beck, Johnson, and Johnson isn't a giant haul, there is no way that David Price would sign long-term. The Sox aren't ready to win. It would be a stupid trade. Also, I'd definitely trade Ramirez. I'd need a nice haul but there is no way that Seattle would give the Sox Tijuan Walker. Not gonna happen. Any rotation with Sale, Price, Quintana is ready to contend. Then you toss in Rodon with Montas/Danish/Adams on their way and hope EJ refinds himself.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 18, 2014 -> 08:16 PM) Come the end of this season, I believe Anderson and Rodon will be ranked in the top 100, with Montas being the next closest. I've said this before, but Johnson/Davidson have to be two of the worst performing top 100 prospects this season. Rodon will probably be Top 20.

With Gordon, Alexei, and Danks you don't trade them just to trade them, but you listen to any and all offers.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jun 18, 2014 -> 07:23 PM) Davidson and EJ have been a huge disappointment Yup. So much for our Top 100 prospects.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 18, 2014 -> 07:48 PM) I agree, I would ask for the minimum of Walker, Guerrero, and Wilson. Heavy price for the best SS in the AL with a great contract. Jesus. If Rick Hahn pulls that off we might as well just build his statue.
