QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 02:20 PM) If you get Martinez, you really need to sign 3 or four of the guys to make it worth while. Add a guy like Randy Arozarena who BA says has a similar profile to Ian Happ. Add in a guy like Andy Ibanez and another SP like Vladimir Gutierrez and it is basically like adding four first round draft picks to the class. It will cost some of the higher end 16 years olds the next couple seasons, but you still get your entire pool to use, you just have to break it down into smaller chunks. They are attached to four of the top 30 July 2nd prospects, they're all 15/16. Usually a team signs like 7 players, at least a cycle

Trey Cabbage is a huge want

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 12:10 AM) The FA hitters are expensive and the bust rate is high. Chu and Ellsbury got outrageous contracts. Who's the big dog this year? Heyward (not a particularly good hitter) and Upton (a very good hitter) Both will have crazy prices. Heyward is still a very good player, the best defensive OF in the game.

My pacemaker shut down last night due to draft fever. Watching the draft now #NoSpoilersPlease Edit: Great pick by the Sox, a high end righty now enters the system. I think that he can make it add a starter, this is a Sox pick to the fullest.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 09:20 AM) And Stephenson is exactly the type of hitter that the White Sox never develop. Big power with a lot of swing and miss potential in his game. Just you havent had succes with a player like that doesn't mean you stop trying. Should the team avoid Lefty Power Bats because Adam Dunn was a failure? Etc

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 04:46 AM) Sounds like Tyler Kolek when you hear his physical description. Risky. Jonathan Gray hasn't exactly torn up the minor leagues...he was also from OU, if I remember correctly. That's correct. And I am pretty high on Kolek, he could be a stud but for him is all about developing secondary stuff.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 03:03 AM) One more 2016 draft update: I'm told Oklahoma RHP Alec Hansen was up to 99 mph today. He's 6'7 or 6'8 with knockout stuff, 1-1 candidate. Seems that name came out of nowhere almost.... People say he's Dillon Tate to the extreme

2016 Draft Class:

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 01:23 AM) And there are infinite nickname possibilities... Head, Cabbage Patch, Cabbage Patch Kid, Vegetable, am I missing some?

I hope the Sox draft Trey Cabbage, he's 6'4 180 and he has a nice left swing and strong arm. Plus hit tool. He pplays short but his future is at third: http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/18765768/v130...s-third-baseman

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 09:56 PM) Benintendi's numbers are just incredible coming out of that conference. I love his swing.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 09:13 PM) Give me Dillon Tate. I like Tate too, and Beneintendi***

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 07:29 PM) In a perfect world, who would you want the Sox to get in the draft at #8? For me, it's Tyler Jay easily. I'd be happy with Jay, Tucker, Stephenson, and Harris.

Bickford tested positive for Marijuana

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 06:26 PM) Not to mention the Angels and Yankees are in desperate need for young blood offensively...and the Yankees also lost out in the Moncada sweepstakes, that didn't sit well with many. I think that he signs after July 2nd, that would leave out the Yankees and Angels.

QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 09:14 AM) Unfortunately, Cubs are favorites to land him I'd take that with a grain of salt. If I were you, 17 teams are in the mix and that includes the Angels and Yankees who can't sign anyone over 300K. So let's just keep your fingers crossed.

Martinez has begun fielding offers from teams.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 6, 2015 -> 09:34 PM) They'd have to play exceptional baseball to make the playoffs. I'm just hoping Hahn realizes that despite having Sale, Shark, Q and Rodon this team blows and adjusts accordingly. ... Maybe behind the scenes he should interview some managerial candidates and see if they think they can win NOW with our rotation. Thats not the Sox MO, interviewing potential managerial candidates behind Robin's back would make the Sox look really really really really really bad to a lot of people.

For any aspiring writers out there. This could be a huge ally to you as try to make your career a reality. The Black List takes the best unproductive scripts in Hollywood and helps them get sold or into production. Originally the Black List was just a list of the top 25-75 unproduced scripts but now it's helping new screenwriters get into Hollywood by sending their scripts to all the studios.

I recommend it to everyone, maybe it could help someone here. https://www.blcklst.com

Let me make this point, I am not saying that the Sox should just dump Quintana. Im saying that if a deal is there, and the Sox feel like theyre getting a return thats acceptable based on how they value Q, thatbthwy shouldn't be afraid to trade him.

QUOTE (BaseballNick @ Jun 4, 2015 -> 10:01 PM) I haven't heard Micker Adolfo's name lately. Does anyone know what's going on with him and where he's playing? He is on the AZL roster, right now he's in extended spring training. Apparently he was the talk of instructs for the Sox, so lets see what kind of season he has but we have to remember that he is just 18.

Great game by both sides. Rodon was fantastic for the second start in a row. Dan Jennings needs to work on his command, he could be a lock down lefty out of the pen but he needs to work on things
