But don't take this the wrong way, just trying to help, but that synopsis paragraph needs some major overhaul grammatically and structurally before you publish it. Thanks, I double major in English and I am not pleased with myself. Let me add that synopsis is old and that I should probably add the new one.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 11:08 AM) Five posts in and nobody has asked the most important question yet: Will this miniseries have any female nudity? The first scene involves the mayor of Chicago killing a hooker, who looks very, very young. So maybe.....

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 01:25 PM) I don't think the Sox are going to go high school bat in the first round without second and third round picks as they don't have a way to back up the pick with a higher floor player. I think if the Sox are going to sign Reyes, they have enough depth in the system at OF not to go after Tucker who will cost probably most if not all of your slot at that pick. The Sox are going to need to be creative to add as much high level talent as possible in the draft, going all in on a first round pick is not a good path to success. Tucker likely is gone by the Astros at #5 anyway so the point is pretty moot. Judging on buzz thus far: 1. Arizona - Brendan Rogers 2. Houston - Dillon Tate 3. Colorado - Carson Fulmer 4. Texas - Chad Smith 5. Houston - Kyle Tucker 6. Minnesota - ? Mike Nikorak 7. Boston - Alex Bregman 8. SOX - ? Reyes is not a outfielder in the majors, he'll be playing first base in majors. I believe Kiley McDaniel reports and you can pretty much chalk up Reyes to the White Sox as a done deal. Once it is officially announced by the club on July 2nd, I am going to start think of him as the first baseman of the future and as Abreu's potential, long term replacement. And you said that the Sox are going to want to save money with their pick, thats the whole Houston Astros m.o., they save as much money as they can in regards to amateur talent and spread their resources around. That probably rules out Tucker for them as well. I see that they are mocked to Tate, who is a college player in this draft, but I can see Tate getting every penny that he is entitled to and not signing below slot.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 20, 2015 -> 04:13 PM) A LF who hits .290 with 25 HR and plus defense in the OF? That's an All Star level player. Heck that's a guy who could get MVP votes if he does even a little better than that. That's an insane projection. I mean I hope he does, but sheesh. You are absolutely correct, at reddit when we did our reports on players, we wrote our projections under the assumption that everything pans out for that player and that's what I wrote for Kyle Tucker. That's what I wrote when I 'scouted' him and that's what I'm sticking to.

I would draft Kyle Tucker at #8 overall and have him be my LF of the future. I think he's going to be a guy that's hits for .290 while hitting 25 homers and driving in 95 rbi a year from the left side of the plate. And he projects as a plus defender in the outfield. Can you imagine an outfield featuring him and Micker together?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Apr 16, 2015 -> 01:28 PM) Jesus, Star War nerds are out in full effect today. My Twitter is chalked full of it. Why is there so much excitement for franchise that (1) hasn't been good for decades and (2) was always a bit overrated and has been passed, numerous times, by other, better franchises/stories? What make believe and delusional world do you live in?

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 04:29 PM) Ditto. The whole look of his films and CGI are just brutal to me. What don't you like about it?

QUOTE (Lillian @ Apr 20, 2015 -> 04:55 AM) The reason to make the change is based more on the way Sanchez is performing, than it is on Johnson's slow start. I'm especially intrigued by the idea of having Carlos hit second, which is a much more valuable spot in the lineup, than 9TH. You bat your best hitter second (or third of you're not familiar with that sabremetric school of thought), Carlos Sanchez is not the team's best hitter.

While Johnson has looked............ awkward at times, I think that he's doing a good job defensively. Plus he's been having some solid at bats, going deep into the count and seeing a lot of pitches, which is HUGE, especially for a #9 hitter.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 18, 2015 -> 05:43 PM) After doing about 6 of these, I'd love to hear some suggestions as we keep going. We've already discussed guests, so that's a real possibility. Any other general requests? For guest, i would love to hear from Marco Paddy, Nick Capra amongst others.

Hey guys, While I am an aspiring MLB Scout during the night, during the day I am a student and a filmmaker, I'm studying film right now and in a couple years I will be moving to LA to pursue that dream. I recently co-funded a production company called Brave Eye Films and we're based in Chicago. We're currently working hard on our first project called Honey and is a miniseries. The synopsis is as follows: "In the dark and twisted world of underground crime, tomorrow isnever guaranteed. While the big families think they run the scene, the idea of ethics comes is hard to come by, but this is what sets HONEY, a veteran hitman, apart from his corrupt peers. Working out of a garage during the day under the watchful eye of his mentor, Evelyn, a woman that was forced to work her way up the ranks of the underground crime syndicate. Together, Honey and Evelyn form the deadliest pairing in all of organized crime. When Honey is tasked with taking out the head of a rival operation, who has been distributing a new drug through the city’s club scene, he comes across the legend of El Padre, an urban legend from Argentina that has creeped into the minds of police officers and criminals everywhere, events are set into motion that can never be reversed." We were able to secure a veteran, professional crew for this project. Some of them have worked with people like David Fincher and some have worked on Super Bowl ads. We're getting ready to cast and we're about to hire a producer sometime this week. And the Chromatics (A very popular indie band, who is reponsible for some of the music in Drive) have agreed to let us use some of their songs in Honey. We just started a Facebook page: www.facebook.com/braveeyefilms So please like on Facebook and I'll keep you posted on what's happening with Honey and if some of you his who live in the city want to be extras or visit the set, I'll let you know. Best, Joshua

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 19, 2015 -> 05:35 PM) Anybody think Quintana will be heading to the DL? Or Noesi? None of them, in regards to Quintana is a mentality thing, he needs to stop being cute and throw strikes.

I would have waited the 10/11 days and bring him up in May, but hard not to get excited. Hopefully the Sox can clear a spot in the rotation for him in due time.

Quintana needs to stop being so passive on the mound. He's slow to the plate, and he's trying to paint thee corners it seems. He needs to work faster and throw strikes.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Apr 16, 2015 -> 05:29 PM) Yeah, you guys are terrific with the info. The highest picks in two years of Hahn are Anderson, Danish, Rodon and Adams. That's a good group , imo, so I'm going to have faith that this year will also be satisfactory, despite the lost picks andregardless of my first impression on Draft Day. Thank you

QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Apr 18, 2015 -> 09:29 AM) I agree with you on Cameron, he's a young, raw HS project OFer, one we don't need, Matuella and Aiken will almost definitely fall out of the first round, and I'm glad you mentioned those catchers, this syetem is lacking a top notch legitimate prospective C Im still high on Cameron, but I would like to see the team start invest heavily into the catching position both in the amateur draft and in international free agency

That's one way to beat the shift!

This team is way to aggressive at the plays, they're not taking pitches or grinding out at bats. Guys are singing at the first pitch and singing at balls out of the zone.

QUOTE (Bruce_Blixton @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 06:32 PM) Well... Good job

QUOTE (Bruce_Blixton @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 02:12 PM) I'm not an expert with the draft allocations but with the rash of injuries to the top of the draft it's feasible that the Sox could draft one of the injured prospects for a modest discount of $500k or so and use that to throw at a higher ceiling prep position player in the later rounds. I'm sure it's not likely but there are scenarios where it could happen. No

Even though they lost, this was a great game and both teams played well enough to win. Hopefully the players can build off this put up this kind of effort everyday from here on out.
