First time coming on this board since the game 5 loss and I see this thread. Unbelievably dumb and I will see myself out for a bit.

Getz should snag someone from the Brewers amateur scouting department.

Like others have said, Antonacci is probably best suited as a super utility player. He plays good defense at 2B and he's brand new to the outfield. Of course there's gonna be bumps in the road defensively out there for him. I would 100% sell high on Peters and trade him for pitching in the off season. He'll be 27 next year and his underlying stats are not good. Plenty of teams will be looking to acquire a solid centerfielder

2 1/2 up on the Guardians 3 1/2 up on the Astros for the two seed 4 1/2 up on the Rangers (first team out of the playoffs) Just keep winning boys

Love this trade. Castillo brings another veteran presence to the rotation. McDougal will replace Dominguez. Hagen will replace Chris Murphy

Why wouldn't we buy? Sox are two games up in the division and three games up in the WC. This offense can 100% win the AL. If they figure out the starting pitching, they can make some noise and be a legitimate threat.

We have to remember, Sox were playing with house money with Gonzalez. He was another bad year away from getting cut from the organization. They worked on his swing and turned him into an asset for the future. That's what good organizations do! And to be frank, I hope Gonzalez kills it in Pittsburgh. Kid deserves it after the changes he has made. It was just a solid baseball trade that helped both teams.

The Sox can win each one of these games. Hope the offense continues to stay hot

He's one year in the league with 23 HRs and 53 RBIs and a 772 OPS with good defense at a primary position. He's not getting traded.

Tied for the division and 2 games up in the WC. Get in the playoffs. This offense can take this team to the WS, just need the pitching to follow suit.

Too many quotes that I want to address. McDougal, I think they just want him up now. Stop wasting bullets in the minors. Maybe to piggyback Schultz for the time being? Either way, he's going to be up this year, but I still believe his future is in the rotation. (I think if he never got hurt, he would already be in the rotation) Chris Murphy, he actually has been pretty good. The opener in Cleveland wasn't his fault outside of the HR. I get wanting an upgrade, but he hasn't been bad. Dominguez, he's on the team no matter what. Just use him in a different role when losing or up 5+ runs. Hicks has been fricken awesome. Start using him in different roles too. He has experience in that.

Did we win the Fedde/Kopech trade? This kid is so damn awesome. Gonna be a staple in this lineup for years to come. Congrats Miguel

Two things 13 XBH's seems very light in a high school season. The Vahn Lackey love is hilarious to me. We love critiquing Roch's season, yet Lackey has had one good college year and has not hit well with wood at all in any of the summer leagues he has played in. It has to be Roch or Emerson, I would be pissed if they took a one year wonder in Lackey. I don't care about draft savings. Take the better player.

To be fair, the lineup is fun right now too. The addition of Braden and then getting Teel and Mune back will make this team have a top 5 lineup in all of baseball.

I'm taking my chances on Roch Cholowsky than a Kevin McGonigle

Game was a stinker after the first ball lost in the sun. Fedde is a gas can now. Sandlin should get the call up Kelenic will get cut once Hays is back. Just one of those games. Let's get to .500 for the road trip and leave it at that.

Sure, it probably is, but look at this lineup LF Antonacci CF Trout 1B Murakami 3B Vargas SS Colson C Teel RF Braden Montgomery DH Kelenic/Hays 2B Meidroth Pereira, Peters, Gonzalez, Romo/Quero on the bench

I mentioned this weeks ago with my buddies. I'd start the package with Carlson and Oppor and go from there

Exactly. We've gone high school quite a bit recently. Go Roch at 1.1 and then HS in rounds 2/3 and we're good with the influx of talent that we already have.

Roch has gotten a lot of prospect fatigue over the last week or so. Roch has a higher floor than Emerson and I think fits the timeline of the Sox better. Offensively, Sox are in an awesome position position player wise.

It would be much longer than this. 6-8 years at minimum

Make Murakami and Montgomery the faces of the franchise. The marketing and attendance alone will pay for the contract once this team gets good (they're already exciting). Be the face of Chicago and not another star signing somewhere else. Let's build something. If he leaves, it will be 100% Jerry Reinsdorf's fault

Have to figure Wikelman is next for Bido. That guy stinks Also thankful Sims is gone. Guy can't find the plate either

Keep hitting and keep playing good defense and the wins will become more consistent. Keep stacking Ws boys
