Quintana to the Pirates in a trade centered around Austin Meadows. In addition to Meadows the Sox get back either Tyler Glasnow or Mitch Keller, Ke'Bryan Hayes and the comp pick they'll get for losing Liriano. I have always been really big on Austin Meadows, he can hit for a high average, has very good plate discipline and projects to be an above average defender in CF, although I do like him better in LF because his arm from the outfield is average at best. At 6'3 200lbs, MLB Pipeline has as a 60 runner and he is learning to tap into his power.

While I lost loved ones before, I can not fathom the lost of a child. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I am so there, they had me at Tyler and Young Thug (That's my best friend). It always bothered me that the Sox were not doing anything with Chance the Rapper, outside of the early season commercials and the hats, there hasn't been much activity between the two. Its glad that this festival is happening and hopefully this is the start of the org getting the change to tap into some alternative revenue streams. But in all seriousness, does anyone else find it funny that Young Thug and Lil Wayne are playing the same stage

Q to Houston for Bregman, Feliz and Martes?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 08:37 AM) Justice league and Wonder Woman make it look like the keys of the castle have been taken away from Snyder and put in Geoff Johns pocket. Good for DC That's not true at all. Let's looks at Wonder Woman: Patty Jenkins was hired by Zack Snyder, the movie was written by Zack Snyder (alongside Geoff Johns), Gal Gadot was cast by Zack Snyder. His fingerprints are all over the movie. Justice League looks and feels like a Zack Snyder movie and like the CEO of WB, they learned their lesson BvS in that they need to back off their talent and let them do their thing. And if you want to see the impact of Geoff Johns, he was hired too late to make an impact on JL, WW, and SS as those films were already completed or deep in production. So you have to look at post JL movies (in terms of the release date) like the Flash, Aquaman, which he wrote the story alongside James Wan. And Batman, which he's writing alongside Ben Affleck.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 11:59 PM) I can't decide what has a better cast between BP and Dr. Strange but they're both loaded. That is tough but as fans isn't that a great debate to have.

Thor Ragnarok sounds amazing and going off how people are describing the sizzle reel (and the mockumentary, it finally sounds like we're getting a deep fantasy, epic film that just embraces everything about Asgard and the mythology. Spider Man sounds hilarious. Love the John Hughes take on it, it makes too much sense. GotG2 sounds more out there than the first one and that's great. Brie Larson has to be sold on Marvel's take on Carol Danvers because she gets to hire the director someone said, awesome to see a woman use her star power. Black Panher arguably has the best cast of any CBM, EVER All around GREAT Con from both DC and Marvel

The Dodgers are light on position player prospects, so they might have to get in a third team.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2016 -> 06:48 PM) Sox liked Trey Ball before he got drafted I thought Ball was a lot better as a position player than as a pitcher coming out, he had a really nice swing and at 6'6 an ideal frame.

I'll trade him for Michael Kopech

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 20, 2016 -> 11:43 PM) "Taking a chance" is fine and dandy... Just not with someone who averages almost 250 strike outs per year. I have no idea where you got 250 from. Gallo is going to do three things at the big league level, he's going to walk, he's going to strike out and he's going to hit home runs. Let's not forget he has legit 80 power. Three-outcome players also have value. I don't care if you strike out 150 times as long as you walk a lot and hit a s***-ton of home runs and last time I checked Gallo excels at both of those things.

If I had to rank the overall talent pool of every organization, the White Sox might be bottom 10, maybe bottom 5.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 20, 2016 -> 10:15 PM) Hard pass on Gallo. The dude tries to homer on every swing and those kind of guys haven't panned out with us as of late So just stop taking chances on 'those type of players' because that makes sense. I don't get that logic, I know that Dunn and LaRoche didn't work out like we hoped but that doesnt mean that the Sox should stop taking chances of left handed power hitters.

I can't remember a player of Sale's caliber being made available in quite sometime. When you consider his status on the field, his ridiculous contract and his age, he might be untradable but with that being said if the Sox were going to trade him they would need to get something better than what the Indians got for Bartolo Colon, something totally ridiculous.

I think the Sox can handle Joey from FRIENDS

I think that if the Sox make him a 1B/DH, Collins could be up with the ML team sometime next year.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 09:35 PM) Their top draft picks under hahn from 2013-2015 are in the majors right now for the team. My point exactly. The team definitely drafts well.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 09:33 PM) It was still bottom ten with them wasn't it? Weren't they like 22? Don't remember. I thought it was middle 15-20 range.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 09:30 PM) The farm system is bottom ten for sure Yes, currently because Anderson and Fulmer have graduated.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 09:23 PM) Hahn needs to get fired after this year. Just can't build a winning team or build up the farm system. I think Hahn has done his job really well given the constraints he has to work under and to say that he can't build a farm is a joke, the Sox have drafted consistently well since he took over and their LA program is starting to turn out players.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 08:55 PM) Is anyone wanting them to lose yet on here? Haven't seen that yet. Doesn't mean many on here don't think they can compete with the top AL teams the rest of the way and selling should be a legit option in two weeks. I definitely want them to test the market as sellers and start adding young pieces to the ML roster and see if they can shed some of their bigger salaries (Cabera and Robertson) for more flexibility going forward. And if the Sox are mathematically eliminated, I hope they lose as many games as possible for better draft position and a bigger INTL pool.

This is one of the better trades that I have seen recently. Preller basically traded a platoon player (in Alonso) for one of top 15 prospects in all of baseball. While San Diego has a long way to go to being respectable, they have injected some serious talent into their system the past 6 months.

Yes, imagine a line up leading off with Anderson and Eaton that was Burns in the 9 hole. That's a lot of speed, imagine being a pitcher and having to have off against Burns, Eaton and Anderson.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 12, 2016 -> 09:53 PM) I'm sure some did but after he was a butcher in the WS, people may have got cold feet. He was certainly a liability with the glove in the WS. Something I don't understand, why does Ned Yost insist on cutting short Salvador Perez's career and offensive potential? He catches too many games and sooner than later his body is going to start breaking down

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 12, 2016 -> 09:47 PM) David Ortiz is supposedly really pushing for the Red Sox to sign Encarnacion as his replacement. Guess they're very good friends. MLB starting to follow some of the NBA player movement trends... They're going to have to start looking into tampering more like the NBA. Did anyone here want the Sox to sign Daniel Murphy?
