QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 4, 2016 -> 09:50 AM) As always, if you are curious about a White Sox prospect, first stop can be the Prospect Profiles page on Future Sox. Here's the profile on Danny specifically. Haha I've already read that a couple times. I'm just wondering if anybody has seen him or has any other input on him. I always check out futuresox prospect profiles first. That site is impressively good. Haven't seen any other prospect site specific to a team that competes with that. Seriously, great job to anybody who contributes to that site. It is really awesome and I appreciate the time people put into it so I can stay educated on my prospects.

Does anybody have any input on Danny Hayes? I see great defense and good obp skills. Is he still a prospect at this point? Is any .800 ops out of him at 1b/dh too crazy to predict? You hate to move Jose to dh, but if Hayes keeps playing well and is a good defender, solidifying that infield defense even more is a mouthwatering idea.

I think they give Danny Hayes a shot this season. He's a better defender than Jose, anyway

Danny Hayes is raking in AAA

QUOTE (harkness @ May 2, 2016 -> 05:03 PM) That is one of the worst calls I've seen in my two years of soxtalk. Totally blew that call. I can tell people are going to stick to their guns no matter what. They like making the show about them. I'm not even saying he is better or worse overall. But he is for sure without a doubt more mellow the past couple years. Mercy! is all I can say really... Nice try Hawk

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 07:33 PM) Does Danks really seem to you like a guy who would go up there and say 'f*** it, Imma suck this year'? I have never heard anything bad about Danks' personality. Sure, but how do you know he goes out there and wants to be good for the team more than anybody? That could be Eaton or Lawrie for all we know.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 07:28 PM) I have always liked Danks. I remember when he was good and probably let loyalty cloud things just a bit. I feel sport for Danks as I know no one wants to be good out there for the team more than he does How do you know that? Did he tell you?

QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 11:06 AM) I have no idea what we can offer these teams, besides salary relief. Agreed. Our system has looked really bad this year... The shark trade is painful right now.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 24, 2016 -> 05:52 PM) Who are we taking this year JoeCool? Fill us in! Why wait til June when resident JoeCool has all the answers! More importantly, what nicknames has joecool bestowed upon them? HoT FiRe baby!!!!

Hearing Jason next to Stone has been a joy. Hawk just keeps getting worse and worse. It is nice hearing a color guy that can actually provide some solid input. I can't wait for Hawk to retire. What have you guys thought of Jason so far?

He seems totally clueless at the plate this year. Fastball in, slider away, Jose gone. Very disappointing stuff.

Adam Engel is beast!

That guy had some lighttower power

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 17, 2016 -> 07:23 AM) Despite the team being 8-3 it is pretty obvious they are no more,than a 65-70 win team. Just from what I hav read here, there are a lot of problems. Eaton, Lawrie clubhouse cancers Avila, Fraizer, Cabrera, Rollins washed up The league has figured out Abreu Avi is one of the worst players in baseball Jerry Sands serves no purpose They have Danks in the rotation and Petricka, Duke, Putnam in the bullpen You know it is just a matter of time with Latos Even Chris Sale is too much of a hot head and should go away. Finally they are managed by a stooge. 8-3 with 9 games in the road is OK, but despite all these horrible players and manager and coaches, it clearly should be better. The fans deserve better. Does it get old being so f***ing negative? Complete overreaction by you.

I have a few questions about Engel, if those who are more educated don't mind educating me. Plus I want to discuss him because he is an interesting prospect. I know he has plus-plus speed and a good arm. Has anybody seen his defense in person? It sounds like he has all the tools to be above average to elite in CF. Obviously, the jury is still out about his bat. Looking much improved since the AFL. Is there any chance that he is brought up this year as a defensive replacement if his bat keeps improving? That is, once the minor league seasons end. I know they won't take valuable at bats away from him. He is getting up there in age. A call up at the end of teh season wouldn't surprise me if it is warranted.

Congrats to Adam and his wife on the birth of young Drake Eaton. Couldn't be more happy for them

I'm not entirely sure why Rollins is entitled to all this play time when he is coming off of an awful season and has very diminished range at SS. I simply don't support starting somebody his age at SS. The Sox have an above average defensive SS in saladino. He had a good spring and has had minor league success. Does anybody argue that Jimmy Rollins provides more on field value? Screw veteran entitlement. Play the player who helps the team more. Thought? Does Jimmy ride the pine soon?

QUOTE (ypres @ Jan 30, 2016 -> 09:01 AM) Hey, guys, its me again. So, I have a new GF who just got out of a relationship but she wants to keep things slow. Which is fine, I don't really have a whole lot of experience in the dating scene. I guess I am wondering about what not to do too early to make sure I don't overstep any boundaries. Thanks. Imo, you probably look like a p**** compared to her ex if you are just waiting. Go get some drinks and f*** her brains out

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jan 23, 2016 -> 07:19 AM) OK, I don't read the National Review, or any such publication that is so extremely slanted left or right, but a friend shared this article with me, and if you still think abortion should be legal for anything other than extreme circumstances after the first trimester, I encourage you to read this: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/4301...nism-march-life Why do you want to bring children into this world that aren't wanted or would be going to a bad household? That's my issue with anti abortion folk. They don't give a s*** what happens to the kid once they are born. Don't give a s*** about the social or economic effects of banking abortion. Let's be real, we have a population problem. It sounds cold, but life isn't fair for everybody. We need to start limiting the population.

Hahn could have gained a ton of respect from me had he made the cold blooded move and signed one of the big 3 on Christmas. That would have taken BIG cajones and shown huge dedication. He didn't lose respect from me for not doing it, but my respect for him still remains low. Hopefully he can redeem himself to me and many other fans

Time is ticking Hahn... I hope you do the right thing and sign Upton or Gordon.

Hahn needs to send a message to sox fans. He needs to show his dedication to the job by making a Christmas Day trade. He needs to show he has stones to make a move like that. Sign Upton or Gordon today, you win my respect. A Christmas signing is cold blooded.

It's crazy how much better this world would be without religion. Sheep gonna sheep
