QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 8, 2013 -> 09:07 PM) Anderson should get a look for top 100. We'll see how he finishes the year I agree. I think he'll be one of those borderline 100-115 if he continues to play well. Gasp. We might have close to 3 top-100s

QUOTE (bighurt4life @ Jul 8, 2013 -> 08:55 PM) he's only 22 which makes him totally age appropriate for the level he's at right now. Wont be 23 til december, considering how he's raking he'll almost definitely be a top 100 next year unless he falls off in the second half. Between the high BA, good XBH numbers and silly SB #'s, you absolutely have a top prospect in the making. He also plays a premium middle infield position This is good since Hawkins likely will not be a top 100 next year. We'll probably have Johnson in the 70-80 range and Micah in the 90-100 if they keep it up.

I'd put Zapata around 10. No way he is in front of people such as Thompson, Johnson, Sanchez, and Hawkins ( ) who have played in the USA and have succeeded. With some success and development, he easily jumps up the list.

I believe that Rios is one of the softest players on the field. It's obvious that he has issues with all of the rumors, as once he was unhappy in Toronto he started to s*** the bed as well. We need to drop him ASAP.

We won't get much for him but he is replaceable. Maybe we can at least get something useful.

gordon has been the one bright spot lately

the chicago knights?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 6, 2013 -> 03:47 PM) Ventura said that Flowers and Phegley will split time 50/50. Dumb-----. They should have played Phegley tonight, and Flowers the day game after the night game. I guess Josh will play tomorrow. If he doesn't, there should be a minor investigation. If he splits their time 50/50 he should be fired. If your going to do that, we'd be better off sending Phegley back down

Flowers is playing? I refuse to watch. /kidding (only because Sale is pitching)

WHY is Phegley still not up? He could catch while Dunn plays 1b and Flowers/Keppinger DH

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Jul 2, 2013 -> 05:18 PM) I agree that most of the blame goes to the manager and staff. However, you have to admit Hahn has been a little too conservative thusfar. I will give Hahn one more full year before I truly evaluate his moves. This trade deadline will be pivotal for the organization moving forward. Conservative? Yeah, because there were absolutely no moves to be made. Trades are rarely made this early before the deadline, he is gearing up for the next ~2 weeks. Last offseason letting AJ go was the right decision, no one could guess that flowers,viciedo, and konerko would be this bad. I for one am happy that he was conservative rather than giving someone like Josh Hamilton another stupid contract to bog us down for another 5 years.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jun 30, 2013 -> 11:06 PM) The Pirates have some good prospects (Dilson Herrera, Nick Kingham, Josh Bell and Gregory Polanco are a few that interest me) and they might have interest in Rios, I would think. Polanco would probably be very hard to get. Josh Bell is someone who I think we could get, and should be targeting.

QUOTE (PolishPrince34 @ Jun 30, 2013 -> 09:55 PM) Tyler Skaggs is a Top 15 prospect in every publication I was more referring the fact that I doubt we could get Skaggs for Rios.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 30, 2013 -> 09:41 PM) I can't believe so many teams want Rios. I hope he's the first dealt. Never been a Rios fan. Don't like his game. Don't like his style. Just get a fair offer and deal him, Hahn. Why wait any longer?? Completely agree. If we can get a top 100 prospect for him, I will personally help him pack his bags.

what about Matt Davidson 3B? http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?t...&pid=571602

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Jun 30, 2013 -> 08:37 PM) So I'm sitting at work a phone rings, the caller ID displays: Hahn, R I pickup and a gentleman says he's having trouble with his AT&T password. (It was a wrong number). Take this FWIW. must be trying to find Moneyball on-demand to learn some moves from brad pitt

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 30, 2013 -> 07:59 PM) Screw that. I want Holmberg back! /kiddingnotkidding I actually wouldn't mind that happening, as long as he isnt the center piece lol.

same organization that got rid of Bauer for close to nothing. maybe we can fool them into giving us both skaggs and owings LOL

Sale will likely be our only representative because Crain will be traded by then.

I say no to Burdi, if we are drafting in the top 5 there is no way you take someone that projects as a closer only. That catcher is intriguing

this chris sale guy is pretty good.

yay our own version of albert pujols! one can only dream...

why does it seem like Phegley never plays anymore

I'd agree with Johnson not being in the top 50. If he puts together an entire season of this, plus maybe 1/2 good showings in spot starts with the sox, he'll be 50-60 next year.
