Rymer has really been hitting up. 7 hits in his last 9 ABs, and 11 of his last 20.

QUOTE (BamaDoc @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 04:07 PM) Q and Frazier for Adams, Andujar, and Fowler. We get another player if they want us to take Headleys contract for tax purposes. This would be an awful trade for Q alone. May as well hold onto Q if that is all you're getting. Adding Todd Frazier to it would just make it worse.

If they don't go May or Engel, the Hanson / Willy CF platoon should be intriguingly bad defensively.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 12:10 PM) The last time I can recall the Sox being so badly gutted by injuries was 1973 when they used the DL if I remember right over 30 times. At least the timing is right if it has to happen at all since this is the start of a rebuild anyway. Even so it is ridiculous and frustrating as hell to me since many of the guys hurt could potentially have been used to upgrade trades and deals. 10 day DL is a huge factor.

I've been wondering the same thing. I'd love to hear the scoop from one of the prospect gurus.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 04:16 PM) Is that who that is? Is he legit or just BS? I know for a fact it is his kid. No idea on if he is a legit baseball prospect.

Did we seriously just draft Tom Crean's kid!?!?!?! PUKE!

May as well take some gambles here are try to throw some cash at a tough sign lottery ticket or two.

QUOTE (daggins @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 10:02 PM) One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn't belong... Beck has looked quite good outta the pen.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 03:20 PM) Its like the Sox are checking soxtalk and taking into consideration to what people are saying. Lends to the idea that rabbit is actually in the war room. Gonna go ahead and guess that people that scout baseball players for a living aren't taking any semblance of advice on anything anyone says on a message board.

Seems like a pretty sweet get at this point. Mlb.com had him ranked 48.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 03:14 PM) Have to imagine they have signaled they will not sign. Skoug is a college jr. Why wouldn't he sign?

QUOTE (Dizzy Sox @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 03:13 PM) it's all about the $$$. I'm sure some of them will go in 11 due to the slotting considerations Sorry for the novice question, but are the no limitations on what you can pay a guy in the 11th and on?

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 10:04 PM) Anyone here wanna fill a n00b like me in on this term "arm bar" -- haven't heard it before Burger. Basically back arm drops it's a horizontal angle when loading for swing. Todd Frazier is an example of an arm bar on the Sox.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 03:31 PM) Absolutely agree. I saw recently where only the Giants have a combined worse minor league record than the Sox. Their top three farm teams are something like 8-24 in June and Birmingham doesn't have much talent at all. They need hitters and position players. Plenty of pitchers in the system with potential but they have got to get talent that plays in the field everyday. Minor league records don't mean anything.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 02:41 PM) Why get bats over someone that the Sox think could be a top of the rotation starter? If Kyle Wright fell, would you pass on him for a bat? What about Hunter Greene? No you wouldn't. That wasn't who I was referring to. If a top 3 arm falls (it wont), sure. But I want a bat over Bukauskas.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 02:36 PM) Don't really like the idea of Bukauskus as we already have enough small-stature SP prospects that many scouts think end up as relievers, would prefer White over him. This. We need bats.

Would Beck be a guy we could get underslot at 11?

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 11:28 AM) Well we previously drafted him, so that always shows interest and often seems to reconnect. He lost about a year in Missouri to an injury (not TJ), and struggled enormously to control anything. This year he was better, but I've seen nothing that projects him as more than a reliever. He would be a great relief prospect, but good arm, no control relief prospects don't seem like round 2/3 guys, especially with TJ already. Thanks. Name definitely sounded familiar.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 10:40 AM) I still think we take Montes de Oca in the 2nd or 3rd. Whats the story with this cat? The "still" makes it seem like there is a backstory.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 9, 2017 -> 02:59 PM) Could this have anything to do with Moncada possibly going back on the DL ? Hanson would have to clear waivers to go to AAA.

I see on the white sox transaction pages that the Nats traded some cat named Mick VonVossen to the Sox a couple days ago. Wonder is this is related to the Raburn deal? Seems quick for a PTBNL to be announced. TRANSACTION PAGE

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 9, 2017 -> 02:28 PM) At the time he was waived, there probably was a team or 2 worse in the AL. But your point stands. Yep. Curious to see what the Sox do here. Could always just option Willy Garcia. Or Minaya. Or Infante. There are lots of options.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 9, 2017 -> 02:24 PM) All though to be fair, if the Sox won the claim, that means he got through the entire NL, plus almost all of the AL as well. Dont the Sox have the worst record in the AL? Meaning he got through the whole NL, but none of the AL.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jun 9, 2017 -> 02:20 PM) AAA I assume. He is out of options, so may as well start him there. Maybe not. Didn't realize he spent at year in on the big league club. So in order to get him to AAA, pretty sure Sox would have to expose him to waivers as well.
