QUOTE (reiks12 @ Aug 18, 2017 -> 08:38 PM) Where are Rutherford and Robert? They haven't played in a while Robert has been getting Dominican witchdoctor voodoo treatment on his foot, so who knows when he will return. Rutherford is also injured I believe

Damnit Jose....

I really hope this means Hansen to AA

Who's the young guy some people think will be ready to run by 2024? Saw him mentioned here before.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Aug 18, 2017 -> 07:48 AM) Classy comment, Wite. Real classy. Did you learn responses like this in Moderator School?

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Aug 18, 2017 -> 05:38 AM) Jose Abreu is pretty damn awesome. Him as the DH on the next contending team just makes way too much sense, it's impossible not to respect him. Will his production be there at that age though? I'm not too sure about that. The way it's going, Nicky D will be a superior hitter at that point imo. Maybe he'll be a coach by then. I think Jose will be a lifetime sox though. He will have a job with the organization whenever he wants. Kudos to him for being a grade A human being

Moncada hr!! I think somebody should eat crow about a certain player that he judged too harshly.

The dude is putting up an 800 ops season while playing great defense in CF ( according to advanced metrics), and he can play all OF and infield positions. He has 3 years of control left after this year. Does Hahn work his magic and try for a team friendly extension? Do they try and flip him in the off-season/next year? Both? The guy is looking like a 3 WAR supersub. I'm not sure how to accurately value the versatility provided by a supersub, but it is quite a valuable asset.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 12:49 PM) I had Zavala on my midseason list but this is craziness. He went from underrated to overrated pretty quickly. He's 24 years old at High A and there's definite concern that he's not a major league catcher. He can hit but in no universe is he the caliber of prospect that Zack Collins is. These things aren't mutually exclusive. Every time Collins gets mentioned, Zavala doesn't need to be brought up. They will likely share time in Birmingham next year as well. Zavala is 23 actually

QUOTE (mac9001 @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 10:06 PM) The thing with Giolito is when you catch him on a good day he looks overwhelmingly dominant. The hitters don't stand a chance. Those have been far and few between, but it leaves an impression when you catch him on the right day. Maybe it takes him a few years to really figure it out, but those flashes of dominance leave a lasting impact. Definitely sounds like Gavin Floyd

Should have been zavala getting promoted. Collins has been pretty underwhelming this year. Lousy move Hahn

Ozzeroo, folks! Go Oz! A helluva player and a helluva manager!

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 10:03 AM) The trolling has gotten bad. I think the tinfoil hats are causing short circuits. Where's the money going? Is it not lining the chairman's pockets? The payroll will be so low that they better spend spend spend a few years from now, or they better have some fantastic giveaways and events at the park next year

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 12:13 AM) Cash to keep the lights on another season Cash to line Reinsdorf's pockets

If the sox arent in playoff contention by 2019, the pitchforks will be out for Rick. This division blows.

Regardless of stats you keep eloy and Kopech down until 2019. Kopech needs to build innings up more anyway. Don't start the clock on them

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 11, 2017 -> 04:44 PM) "ReyLo Game"? Ugh, GMAB. Just terrible. Oh my! The horror! My eyes! ReY Lo

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 11, 2017 -> 08:58 AM) he should clear waivers with ease, but I'm not sure anyone wants that contract even for a PTBNL You guys would be similar to Billy King of you were GMs. Hahn could flip me for a healthy return.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 11, 2017 -> 08:25 AM) No need to fan the flames. It is just absurd. I can't believe this line of thinking still exists. If you rebuild you trade all vets worth anything. Sale or Eaton should be exempt when they bring the best return ? It's not personal it's business, pure and simple. Sale and Eaton started it. The sox FO viewed them as toxic and wanted them out. After trading them, it really started the rebuild. That toxicity affects business BTW. Sale had no respect for authority. The FO wanted him gone. There was no point in holding on to Q or others with such a bad team.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 11, 2017 -> 07:17 AM) Ya almost no one here wanted Sale traded just because of him being "unprofessional." This is just silly. Regardless of what the board thinks, that is why He was traded in the first place. Unprofessional + the laroche saga is what started it all. FO was sick of him. Same with Eaton.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 10, 2017 -> 01:31 PM) Gotta love Hahn's honesty there. He's right of course. Jose hardly ever sees fastballs middle in anymore it's usually a steady diet of junk low and away. It's sapped a large amount of Jose's power. Jose is still a good player, he's just not the star we hoped he'd be after his rookie season. Thank you. ^he heard the interview too I see.

QUOTE (Quin @ Aug 10, 2017 -> 01:11 PM) Interesting. What was the exact quote? "I think in a sense the league has figured Jose out". Varied slightly, but it was along those lines.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 10, 2017 -> 12:48 PM) Did Hahn say anything interesting? He said he thinks Jose Abreu is overrated. Nothing else of interest
