QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 11:24 PM) Who is an ace and how many teams have had them?? Shields, for example, is no more an ace than Buehrle. How many teams have aces? I guarantee you not many, or you could argue that many guys you might pick are not aces. Remember Cliff Lee? Some years he was an ace; some years he sucked. I contend there are not many clear cut aces in baseball since Buehrle emerged as a stellar pitcher. Yeah, James Shields is definitely not an ace. Here are some aces for you currently in the league: Sale, Darvish, Scherzer, Hernandez, Kershaw, Wainwright. After that you got guys like Fernandez, Strasburg and Tanaka. There are probably no more than 10 "aces" in all of baseball at any given time.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jun 7, 2014 -> 01:20 PM) White Sox are going very pitching heavy so far today. At this point in the draft, I'd rather them take lottery ticket pitchers.

The Sox/Mizzou fan in me wants this to play the same way as the last time we drafted a Mizzou commit - Sox get him.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 7, 2014 -> 10:09 AM) They should call up Rondon and Frye to go along with Chris Sales and Jose Quintero immediately. Need more subtlety, like Quintanya

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 7, 2014 -> 09:56 AM) Yeah I think Frye will be fast tracked, too that pick. Signable guy but should be able to move up easily with his experience. Rodon and Frye to the bullpen by September.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 7, 2014 -> 08:15 AM) Why? The guy is the poster child for the meatball, jock, fratboy football player. I'd be more surprised if he didn't have something stupid to say. He is?

Anyone else hear Bruce Levine say that Schwarber was #2 on the Cubs board after Brady Aiken and that they would have taken him over Rodon. Corporate spin in full gear there.

Reetz finally taken at 93

I'm still hoping for Reetz

1) Rodon 2) Anderson 3) Johnson 4) Hawkins 5) Davidson 6) Danish 7) Adams 8) Montas 9) Beck 10) Adolfo Man, if Beck and EJ can bounce back...along with Rodon, Adams, Danish and Montas we could see some reinforcements on the way for Q and Sale

Mark's not an ace, he's a workhorse. But he is rare even then. Workstallion? Workunicorn?

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 2, 2014 -> 11:54 AM) That would be against Sale if rotations hold. Buehrle facing the Cardinals, at Baltimore, twice against the Yankees in between. I love and miss Mark, but I'll give the advantage to Sale. Would love to have him back one day.

I'll take five Chris Sales please

Anyone other than Aiken/Rodon/Kolek/Nola is a failure.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 25, 2014 -> 11:05 AM) Scot Gregor ‏@scotgregor 3m If White Sox have save opportunity today Ventura says Belisario gets the call again How about no

We would win 90 games with Addison Reed.

God damnit.

My god this thread. On track: I'm beginning to wonder if the Sox trade Dunn/Gordon/Alexei/Conor or trade some of the prospects for cost control guys that can help the team compete now. Damn Sox playing well making decisions hard and s***.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ May 24, 2014 -> 05:57 AM) Only in Greg's world is a .270 hitter with 35 HR worth just $5 milliin per year. Also in Greg's world, Abreu can't ever play 1B only LF or DH.

Loved/hated Days of Future Past. Really don't know how to feel.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 23, 2014 -> 05:20 PM) Sox won't sign a Boras client with no. 1 pick this year. Bank on that. Ok, Greg told me to bank on something. Sox will sign Rodon.

1. Rodon 2. Aiken 3. Kolek 4. Nola I think Kolek and Nola are flip-flopped on the Sox board though.
