Something tells me we are going to keep Abreu for as long as we can. And when he retires I could see us keeping him in the organization somehow to help with recruiting Cuban players here

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 10:41 AM) where should he hit? I would imagine around 7 seems right. Move him up as he earns it I would be surprised if he isn't hitting in the 2 hole

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 11:39 PM) There's this Moncada guy Who!?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 11:35 PM) Do people finally think we have enough hitting prospects now? Not yet, need some big INF prospects. I like Burger and Sheets but after seeing Jimenez, Moncada, and Rutherford coming through those two look average at best

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 11:32 PM) I'll take it. At worst a long reliever but I think he will be valuable to the big league club

It seems like the corner OF position isn't hot this deadline

I hope Clarkin goes to AA

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 11:28 PM) I'm not sure some of you guys understand Rutherford's potential value and future impact. He's been coveted by a ton of teams in talks and was a very tough get. Front office is THRILLED to acquire him. bucket-of-suck has spoken! /thread

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 11:22 PM) Yea I don't like this call up now that I think about it. Moncada has work to do, this is not being done for baseball reasons. IMO he is bored in AAA at this point. I would rather him develop here, he has no pressure because we aren't competing to trying to compete. He isn't a savior and can just focus on playing baseball and getting use tot major league pitching

Hahn seemed to feel like Rutherford could stick at CF

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 11:18 PM) Wow. They seem to love Tito Polo. I love Tito Polo now. He might be our best OF prospect in AA/AAA right now

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 11:04 PM) Any chance he makes the lineup tomorrow? Hahn said he would be in uniform tomorrow.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 11:06 PM) Polo is a talented player with sneaky pop and good speed. I think he ends up playing a role in the majors as a solid forth outfielder. How is his defense? If his defense is good he is a great 4th OF guy with speed .

Tito Polo Hitting .300 at the AA level with 26 SB, about to turn 23. Also has 25 XBH so far this year

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 11:02 PM) Yoan getting called up Yoan + GoT bobble head night? Yes The time has come!!

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 11:01 PM) So what is the full deal? Tito Polo is the 4th guy. He actually looks interesting to me

So what is the full deal?

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 10:45 PM) Way over-valuing of our 3 + the huge hauls the Yanks got last year for Chapman/Miller = thinking we got fleeced. Sorry to break it to everyone but Robertson and Kahnle are nowhere near Chapman/Miller level. Kahnle has had 3 great months

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 10:33 PM) We just acquired another top 50 OF prospect, I think this signals Avi is as good as gone. But all three of our top 50 OF prospects are at least two years away. I say sign Avi to a 2 year deal and use him as trade bait in a year or two if he is still doing well

We suddenly have a lot of OF's

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 08:54 PM) Like I said a page or two ago, I think Rutherford + Andujar + 1 other real prospect would be fantastic I have a feeling we are shooting too high

All the national guys are acting like this deal is pretty much done
