QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 22, 2014 -> 09:14 AM) BA (Ben Badler) now has Sox as favorite to land Huascar Ynoa (RHP, DR), their #9 prospect for 7/2. Article behind paywall. Is he the only one Sox have an eye on? Who else have they been linked to and can we expect Hahn to sign any international guys? I know he would like to build through that also.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ May 22, 2014 -> 10:34 AM) Well let's see, one is a Major League player who keeps improving and the other is a minor league player who has just gotten worse. It's not even been 2 months. The last 10 days he's hitting 316 with 2 HRs and 5 RBIs but has 11 K's

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ May 22, 2014 -> 10:32 AM) Alright so I admit I haven't been following these guys but there are always former top prospects out there who have either fallen on hard times (Noesi) or haven't taken steps forward as anticipated (Gillaspie) which can be acquired cheaply or even for free. One player that comes to mind as a "cheaper" type potentially might be Mike Montgomery?? I'm thinking here, this guy looked awesome with the Royals but in the Shields deal his inclusion was almost more of an afterthought and Odorizzi was considered the better get even though Montgomery from what I'd seen of each looked a whole hell of a lot more talented than Odorizzi ever was. So what happened to this guy, did he lose his stuff or something? Checking B-R he's been at the Triple A level for parts of 4 straight seasons, 2011-now. These are the kinds of players we should look into acquiring. Also I would be very interested in offering Rienzo to the Angels for Santiago back. Not sure they'd seriously consider that but if they did I'd be all like f*** yeah and stuff because I still like Hector & think he just probably needs real coaching not that psuedo coaching s*** that goes on on teams like the Angels where everybody is making $40M a piece and no one has any balls. So else is out there? Some buy low type of arms, and an OF too, that's really what we need. Rienzo for Santiago? No thanks. Santiago just got sent to AAA. Montgomery is a good piece but I don't know what it would take to get him.

This is really hard. I love Connor, but I think Davidson could be an absolute stud. The keep both of them scenario is interesting but i don't know if I could trust a Viciedo Eaton Garcia OF unless Viciedo and Garcia get better out there. I guess its a good problem to have, but in the end, i would love to keep both.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ May 21, 2014 -> 01:33 PM) I don't know how you could possibly get fair value for an elite defensive shortstop with an 839 OPS and a reasonable contract through 2016. Exactly, that's why I think we hang on to them because no team wants to give up a ton.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 21, 2014 -> 01:32 PM) This is Noesi's slot for starting, though Scott Merkin was clear to say that doesn't mean he is the one losing his spot in the starting rotation or on the MLB roster. Has to be Carroll's that will get sent down.

Let's sweep these guys

I am a happy human

I don't want to trade Alexei, but right now, he is the best SS in the AL and it would be hard not to at least listen to offers. I think we would get a ton for him but who would be interested?

Rienzo is 4-0 with a 4.00 ERA. That's pretty good out of your number 5 starter. He is definitely earning himself a spot for the rest of the season and into next season maybe. I'd like to see when healthy Sale Quintana ??? Danks Rienzo

keithlaw ‏@keithlaw 2m NC State, with the best pitcher in this draft class and one of the best position players, was bounced from the ACC tournament on day one.

http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?s...mp;ymd=20140520 Surkamp for Charlotte. They're facing Kevin Gausman Wendelken for the Dash. Barnette for Kanny. Barons have day off.

QUOTE (southside hitman @ May 20, 2014 -> 11:08 AM) Yeah that lineup is mostly organizational depth now. I'm a fan of Ravelo, he just turned 22 and has an advanced hit tool, but we'll see if he has a place defensively in Chicago. Trayce Thompson looks to be nothing more than a 4th outfielder at this point. EDIT: I forgot Kevan Smith, he's old for the level, but he's a good athlete and has hit well at every level. He's got a shot at making it. Thompson had a pretty good April. It's just that this May is bad, real bad.

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 20, 2014 -> 11:13 AM) He needs to sign by July 2nd but there are rumors he can go tomorrow or this week. As for the contract, I would expect 4 years and somewhere south of 20 million. Thanks for the info. I was gonna guess 4 years around 16 million. That's what I would probably give him.

I would try De Los Santos. He's been good this year and is another lefty to bring out of the pen.

When do people expect this kid to sign and what terms can we expect he will get?

I wouldn't mind another 23 year old Cuban on the team....

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 19, 2014 -> 10:34 PM) Oh, here I was about to congratulate Ventura for having the guts to take out Lindstrom in the middle of a save situation. What happened to Matty Ice? Looking at what happened, it's almost incredible to believe Downs and Petricka escaped that inning without being scored upon. Don't forget the Konerko heroics!!! And Dayan's still hovering around the .300 mark. Guerra or De Los Santos for the Lindstrom spot? Hanson to replace Carroll? No idea. Lindstrom rolled his ankle on the mound trying to field a bunt it looked like. Guerra isn't on 40 man. De Los Santos is. Hanson isn't on 40 man either. I don't know how many spots on the 40 man are available.

I just made one lol but yeah. Loved the effort tonight. Great comeback win. I've had enough of Carroll, but Johnson isn't ready yet and Paulino just sucks. Who replaces Lindstrom once he goes on the DL? What's the 40 man at right now?

Offense good. Bullpen Good. Carroll bad. Lindstrom hurt. Great comeback win.

Let's go!!! What a win!!

I'll take it! 1 more out!

Flowers calling time ugh
