He's on a lot of Top 5-10 lists for replacing current managers, at least he was going into last offseason. He is the head of player development with the Dodgers, so he works with the players a lot. And Freidman has taken him under his wing a bit and has been showing him the ropes in terms of scouting and analytics. Similar rise to Matheny.

I would rather have Flowers than Navarro. The team misses his ability to call a came and his glove behind the plate.

QUOTE (b-Rye @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 07:49 PM) Big difference. Anderson not much better than Micah Johnson in AAA , no way hes gonna be a savior on a losing culture this team has. If anything it's gonna destroy his development and be a Beckham, if we don't trade him for a washed up player with low obp, avg , war like usual Batting him leadoff is not going to hurt, it's going to help because it's getting him familiar with the role that he projects best in. Anderson is a better than Micah was and will be. Abe he's not here to be a savior, he's here to continue the next phase of his development

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 07:41 PM) While I agree, it won't be the reason why we lose tonight. Anderson projects as a lead off hitter, so you might as well bat him there and he's also the fastest player on the team by a longshot. When Rizzo came up with the Cubs, they inserted him right into the 3 hole.

Jesus, this #5 spot as become a black hole

QUOTE (Nixon @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 10:27 AM) Wanted to go catch a matinee of it today, but they've cut the screenings to 1 per day @ 10 pm. No way my old ass stays awake for that. Didn't this just get wide release last week? I know the marketing wasn't very strong for it, but god damn. It was amazing and hilarious beginning to end, I even bought the soundtrack but it should not have been a summer movie.

I have a video playlist of the 2017 class that I'll post later.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 06:58 PM) #12 for now, but I think he'll switch to #7 at some point. I expect this will happen next year, so Im going to wait to buy the jersey

Tim 'NEO' Anderson?

Lambert is a good pick

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 02:06 PM) Yes but looking at the talented athletes the Sox have drafted haven't done with well. That doesn't mean you stop drafting them, it means you change how you develop them.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 07:37 AM) Don't really care about Collins' 40 time or his vertical at this point. The White Sox drafted a baseball player, not some athlete they are hoping to turn into one. Being an athlete always helps

If the White Sox were still surging and needed a boost, I would be all for calling up Tim Anderson to provide a spark for a winning team. Key word in that... winning. The Sox have been showing no signs of life for the past three weeks and there's no reason for Anderson to be in Chicago for a team that's going nowhere. I still think we will be on the ML later this year but its looking like September, instead of right after the ASB like I first thought

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 05:22 PM) Sox know Reynolds very well. I don't know if they like him, but they've seen him and a lot at that. Probably from when they were scouting Fulmer, I would imagine

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 04:37 PM) A month or two ago, wasn't Blake sitting as a hot pick for 1.1? Yes, he is/has been getting nick picked on his game, he's suffering from the ultimate case of prospect fatigue. Has been in the spotlight for a long time

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 11:15 AM) Well you certainly have. Talk about a Cubs fan mentality

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 10:58 AM) It's going to be interesting. I think the top tier of players is 9 deep. It's the first 8 you have listed + Rutherford. That's just my opinion. I know the Sox prefer Rutherford to Moniak. I got a guy who says Atlanta is flooding the big writers with info on the college bats but they very well may be going high school. He says they've been scouting both Rutherford and Yellich heavily even though it hasn't been reported. Other whisper is that they love Pint. Preller too has been scouting both heavily HS Cali guys too. Christian Yellich and Rutherford grew up in the same neighborhood and Yellich's mom has a relationship with ATL's personnel FWIW. There's a camp in their brain trust that calls Rutherford "Yellich with power." Which is an annual all star in theory. I think Moniak is better than Rutherford, while Rutherford will always have more power than Moniak, I think Moniak is better than Rutherford everywhere else, not to mention he plays center field at a plus level. I know KW loves guys who (project to) hit for power, that why be why the Sox prefer him to Moniak. The San Diego area has been turning out some great players as of late like Moniak and Aiken to name a couple.

Hoping for Justin Dunn in round 2 and Matthias Dietz somewhere after round 2. He's a local product and can hit 97, 98, he's also big at 6'6, 220. I think he projects better as a reliever than a starter in the majors.

Bo Porter, Gabe Kapler, Dave Martinez*, Brandon Hyde*, Lloyd McClendon, Freddi Gonzalez, Andy Haines, Rick Renteria* and Jason Varitek. Some personal favorites

The teams needs to have their bench upgraded desperately.

Hopefully he gets some playing time.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jun 2, 2016 -> 04:08 PM) Coghlan is a REALLY good idea IMO. He'd provide a lefty power bat that the Sox desperately need and he's very versatile as well. He could be their 'super sub', and would greatly improve their bench.
