I pray to God every night before I sleep and ask that said player is Giancarlo Stanton

I know he's only 17, but if everything comes together for Micker, I believe that he can be a superstar player for the White Sox down the line. His tools offer so much upside and his ceiling is so high, and his power potential is insane. Its going to be fun watching him develop over the next few years.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 02:44 PM) I'm not sure about the guys on the "#2-#3" starter list. Those guys seem to me to be "guy who might very well be an ace but might also never sniff the big leagues" guys, and they seem like they're winding up as 2-3 starters because hey, it's in the middle. I don't know if you know this but those guys on that second tier have been spectacular this year on the farm.

Luis Martinex from the AZL team could be something special for the White Sox and he's only 19. He should up there with Adam's, Danish, and Montas.

I think that Micker is having a good year with the AZL club. Yeah he is striking out a lot, but you have to keep in mind that he is 17 years old and is holding his own against more advanced competition. I think that he is going to be a special player for the White Sox down the line.

I wish he stole more bases.

My grade for Ventura would be a B, maybe a B-

This thread is stupid, that is all.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYY!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 21, 2014 -> 05:49 PM) If this franchise is sub .500 for 3 straight years, we have really big problems. No, remember that the Sox hired Robin with the assumption and expectation that team would be rebuilding. Honestly I do not see the team being competitive till 2016, and I expected them to win around 75 games this year.

I want a top ten pick this year and another top 15 pick next year. I think a few trades are coming that will guarantee a top ten pick, which will really benefit the team because the draft is pretty solid.

Trey M Micker Aldolfo Jake Jarvis

I have an idea: Jefferson Olacio as the future closer of the White Sox.

If you a prospect is struggling, why do you continue to play him everyday. Trey M (My favorite prospect in the system btw) is 0 for his last 39?, and is obviously stuck in a rut, but he keeps going out there everyday. Why not give him a chance to breathe and collect himself?

Can you imagine a rotation with Sale, Quintana, Rodon, Danish and with Spencer Adams/Luis Martinez down the line? That sounds pretty scary and could make the Sox very dangerous for the years to come. In regards to the system in general, this is the strongest the farm has been in years, maybe a decade.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 18, 2014 -> 08:44 PM) They wouldn't give up Harvey for Danks and Beckham. Also, Keith Law had this to say about Sisco Kevin (Baltimore) Did any other Orioles come close to cracking your list? Also, have you seen Chance Sisco recently? His numbers have been ridiculous. Klaw (2:28 PM) No, although Rodriguez would be on the top 100 again. Saw Sisco a few weeks ago. He can't catch. No idea where they'll put him. I dont tend to listen to Keith Law that much when it comes to prospects, and I read more good things than bad things about Sisco. Back to what you were saying about acquiring Harvey, if I am going to trade you pitching, especially a quality pitcher at a affordable price like John Danks, I want pitching back.

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Jul 18, 2014 -> 08:11 PM) Would anyone really want to draft Aiken after all this news about his UCL? If he's that prone to a future injury, why would anyone want him? That's like drafting Kerry Wood or Prior with foresight about their injury plagued careers. Not the the Astros didn't screwed the pooch on this one, plus treated Aiken terribly. I feel sorry for Astros fans. I would have a guy like Kerry Wood on my team as a GM, but I would still draft Aiken top 5 next year assuming that he performs worthy of that selection.

QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Jul 13, 2014 -> 07:55 AM) Well go ahead and post that my man Give me a week, I'm still getting info. Ill try to have a list of players, along with their vitals and a small scouting report.

I think Bo Porter is a fantastic manager. Every time I watch the Astros, they always play fundamentally sound baseball and they're fun to watch.

TANKLOSS

I just spent a hour looking up Cisco and he has a lot of fans out there, he puts up big numbers and although he transitioned to playing catcher during his senior year of high school after playing shortstop exclusively he has advanced skills behind the plate for someone his age. If I were Rick Hahn and engaging with Baltimore in trade talks, I would do everything in my power to get back Hunter Harvey or Kevin Gausmann, but for the sake of this trade lets try to get Hunter Harvey because he's 19 and its going to be a while before he reaches the bigs. I would send them Danks, and Beckham for both Sisco and Harvey.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Jul 18, 2014 -> 07:13 PM) when/where is rodon pitching? Probably at the beginning of August, he has to train for a few weeks in Arizona before we can play with Winston Salem.

Spencer Adam is on point tonight, 5 Ks through 4. (Alex Jackson has been on point too) The DSL team is putting up some great numbers as a team when compared to the standard DSL averages.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 02:56 PM) It depends on the offers. If someone offers $20 million, and the Sox offer $10 million, there is no way on god's green earth he takes the Sox offer. I personally don't think that he's worth over $10 Million, but I would go after Aiken hard as long as the price and contract remain reasonable, maybe buy out some are years but I would do everything to have him in a Sox uniform.

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Jul 15, 2014 -> 02:21 PM) Its been reported that 10M won't be enough. How true that is, I do not know. I just can't see him hitting the free agent market. It might be enough if you have Sale and Coop talk to him about the team's pitching program and how they manage their pitchers. I imagine that MLB dosent want this to happen, and Scott Boaras is going to go off if it does. Remember he said that he believes that Kris Bryant should be making more money than Abreu is now.
