QUOTE (LDF @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 06:53 AM) 2 things, he is a hs'er and where the sox are selecting, he is not an option. second he is listed as maybe a later 1rnd'er right now. now when the new season starts and end, there will be many changes .... What do you mean he is not an option, every player who declares themselves eligible is an option. What does being a HS'er have to do with anything? Especially when the new scouting director has said multiple times that he prefers HS'ers to college kids. I never said that he should go at 10 to the Sox, I said keep an eye on him. And you even said that there is going to be many changes over the course of the season, then why bring up any of the things you did.

Keep an eye on Drew Mendoza. 6'4 SS from LF, with a nice lefty swing.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 6, 2015 -> 07:03 PM) One of two things happened... He got a couple of offers that blew away the $2.5 million, or this story was a plant to drum up some interest. Kiley McDaniel said he got 7M plus offers from multiple teams but didn't bite in hopes of getting a bigger offer, which didn't come. Bobby Evans was kinda wishy washy In his remarks

The first and only trailer to The Force Awakens comes out on October 19th, according to the reliable Star Wars News net. They are the only site to come out and put their name on the line and attach it to a date. Talked to someone at the film festival office who works with Syncopy, and you'll get more info about the new Christopher Nolan film before the holidays.

The Martian was okay.

Rongey

I hope Rongey is back with the org

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 28, 2015 -> 03:25 PM) I can't see him waiting until next summer. That is 10 more months to go unpaid and not play professional baseball. I tihnk he will because he will get more money if he waits because more teams will be willing to go over and some of usual suspects on the international market are not able to sign him.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Sep 29, 2015 -> 08:01 AM) What has he done to earn your trust? His job.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Sep 28, 2015 -> 11:02 AM) Get him now, there are plenty of other young Cuban guys out there to make it worth your while to go over the limit this year and all alot closer to the majors then the guys the Sox would be signing on the next two July signing periods. Now is the perfect time to bust the limit with the abundance of players available, the depth of position players in the Sox system, and the impending international draft. Completely disagree, the 2016 INTL class is supposed to be the best it's been in years and Sox would not be willing to pay the overage fee on those contracts for Cuban as opposed to 16 kids in the Dominicans because of how expensive they are compared to theit LA counterparts

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Sep 25, 2015 -> 12:35 PM) This kids height isn't that surprising, but I was referring more to his muscular stature than anything else. The guy is ripped. Even the most muscular kids I know aren't like that. Again look at college football recruits

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Sep 24, 2015 -> 05:21 PM) I'm sorry, but I doubt this kid is 16. He's probably 18 or 19. There is no 16 year old I know that is built like that. Look up Ronald Washington, he's an American and the top projected player in the 2017 draft, he looks just like that. So yes, it is possible for a 16 year old to look like that. Even look at college football recruits, they look like that. If Lazarito was an American, you would not doubt his age.

I would wait to sign him till the 2016 signing period. The dude is pretty determined and that bodes well for his success and according to the picture of that accompanied the article, he is a physical specimen.

Say I had to make this deal I wold want back Seager, Alvarez, Urias and INTL cash.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Sep 22, 2015 -> 07:29 PM) I'd only do this if we trade one of our SP. It doesn't make much sense otherwise because you'd be blocking EJ and we need to find out what he is. I will make another post going into me detail later

I would go after either Doug Fist amd signier, Bud Norris, Ian Kennedy and see if I can get them on short term (1 or 2 years) deals with the intention of flipping them.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 22, 2015 -> 12:24 PM) Anyone else watching Project Greenlight? The guy that won the contest is a dick but it makes great tv. One thing I'm it's him on is the look of film being better than the look of digital. I don't think that he is a dick, I just thinks that he is being really cautious with this being with first Hollywood film, look at the other winners of the show... they haven't done much. Out of all the seasons of the show he was the only person during the pitch meeting to say what he wanted to do with the film and bring up his concerns about the material, he's also the best filmmaker that they've picked out of all the winners. As someone who likes working with film and really, really, hates digital, its really cool to see him be passionate about shooting on film. One thing that is really disappointing to see is Effie Brown not doing her job, as a producer your job is to make the director's visions a reality. By her refusing to even pursue film or looking into the cost he is not doing her job. She is also not being accurate in saying that they don't have the money to shoot on film, because shooting on film if not cheaper, cost the exact same as shooting digital. I am curious to know when this was shot because I know Ben Affleck is a part of the Film Initiative that was started by Christopher Nolan and also includes Edgar Wright, Quentin Tarantino, JJ Abrams, Judd Apatow, Bennett Miller and Rian Johnson to name a few. The best reality show on TV right now (Thats not on Bravo)

The Phillies are high on AJ Puk, their FO thinks that he can join Nola in 2017.

QUOTE (LDF @ Sep 19, 2015 -> 02:29 AM) nice opinion. for me, 1-4 are easily a pick for a sp. 5-15 several positional players. but for me, i wouldn't be surprise to see some unknown player shoot up to this slot. for me, my money will on on this ARZ kid 3b-dalbec . I feel like if you go into a draft saying hey if we have picks 1 through 4 then we're taking a pitcher and if we have picks 5 through 15 then we're taking a bat, you're really going to hand cuff yourself. Always take the BPA no matter what, stay true to your board.

I saw both Sicario and Pawn Sacrifice today I was reminded that Tobey Maguire could act, and the cinematography is really good just like every movie shot by Bradford Young (Who is a young, black cinematographer who is being hailed as the next Roger Deakins. If you love movies, I suggest you look him up on youtube. His DP/40 interview is fantastic). However, all I could think as I watched was that the movie should've been directed by David Fincher, as his sensibilities really would've suited the material. Really solid movie. If I was a member of the Academy, I would give Sicario my vote for best picture hands down (Ex Machina a close second). Holy s*** was I at the edge of my seat the entire time. Roger Deakins might finally win his Oscar, as the whole film looked beautiful really fluid camera work. Benecio Del Toro should get some award buzz too, as will Emily Blunt, who has made herself into a major leading lady over the course of the past few years. I really like Denis Villeneuve as a director and the Blade Runner sequel couldn't be in better hands.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 05:15 PM) Just a real bad decision not to get out of Robertson's contract when the Yankees claimed him. It's amazing how bad our major FA signings have been over the last 5 years. Go outside and take a deep breath

Comment From Adam If the Braves wind up with the #1 pick, who should they take? Kiley McDaniel: right now, I’d take Blake Rutherford, prep OF from SoCal Kiley McDaniel: Short report on him is OF tweener, 55 runner, 55 raw power, 60 bat, LH has hit everywhere for the last three summers. If you have read me for awhile, you know I don’t put 60 bat on almost anyone, even in the minors.

I have been watching the debate and when Trump started talking, I flipped it to the Sox game and..............
