So is Mike trout fools gold too because his team wasn't close to making the playoffs?

https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/1045076123988701184?s=19 Hahn on early 2019 outlook: "It’s too early to answer the contend question. I don’t think it’s too early to say we expect to be certainly more competitive."

Robert is supposed to play in Arizona Fall League to help make up the time he missed this year. Should hopefully help.

Still sox want him to see AAA "At the lower levels, it’s maybe more mechanical, approached based," Hahn said. "At the higher level, it's more about the interaction between the pitcher and the hitter and what the scouting report has on you ... how you're getting pitched and how you need to adjust to their adjustments. "The speed of the game, the way hitters react to the pitchers, the way pitchers adjust to the hitters, the scrutiny, the grind ... until the individual player has answered the questions we have for them, they're going to remain there." https://670thescore.radio.com/white-sox-prospect-eloy-jimenez-slugging-embracing-details-minor-leagues

From what I've read sox will want him in AAA at some point because of the pitching at that level. AAA is the bubble for pitchers going to the majors or pitchers that have pitched in the majors that can't get a spot at the major league roster or old major league pitchers that are filler cause they can't keep a spot on the major league roster. The Sox said that major league experience pitchers are going to pitch him differently cause they've been in the majors. They want him to see that kind of pitching before bringing up to the big leagues so he might have more of an idea on what pitchers will try to do to him

Jon Heyman https://www.fanragsports.com/white-sox/heyman-could-white-sox-be-dark-horse-for-machado/ "One rival GM suggested he believes the Chicago White Sox could be a “dark horse” candidate to sign star infielder Manny Machado."

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 15, 2018 -> 01:16 PM) Yeah, I believe the whole point of him DHing is the alternative to surgery, and said surgery would only occur if something goes wrong with the natural healing process Him DHing is to get him at bats and not lose more playing time. Best case scenario is elbow will heal with out surgery is what they are hoping but he could still need it which would put him out 8 to 9 months. That's why he's DHing is to get him as many at bats as possible https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.mlb.com/26...-scare.amp.html

Maybe Vieira coming up

Scouts are absolutely raving about chisox prospect Luis Robert. That team has more 4-star prospects than anyone. (Yanks, padres, braves just behind) https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/969297918367752192?s=19

https://www.fanragsports.com/mlb/inside-bas...y-for-comeback/ "Carlos Gonzalez is another possibility for the White Sox."

https://www.fanragsports.com/mlb/inside-bas...y-for-comeback/ "Mike Moustakas could emerge as a possibility, Jon Morosi of MLB.com reported. The White Sox have as many prospects as any AL team but don’t have a big one at third base. While this would be a year before any expected push for a pennant, it may represent a nice opportunity for the ChiSox. The third base market hasn’t developed as expected, and Moustakas may not get what he originally sought. There are plenty of one-year opportunities for him, but a one-year deal would put him back on the market with Josh Donaldson and Manny Machado."

Absolutely didn't rule out adding someone if it fits long-term and doesn't block a prospect Rick Hahn gives an update on the state of the White Sox rebuild in this episode of the SportsTalk Live Podcast: https://t.co/HP0QKByhH2 https://t.co/4l0JGg3Jnx https://twitter.com/NBCSChicago/status/966140975486767106 The podcast for that

QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 20, 2018 -> 08:52 PM) That told us very little. We’re prepared to choose the 25 man roster from the group that’s here in camp, but we could add a long-term free agent too. Pretty much we may or may not do anything lol

Yankees probably definitely out on moustakas with trade they made. Not really sure there's much of a market for him. Might lower asking price

I think they might go with a different Cf then leury not sure who but this was tweeted earlier. Renteria spoke of Leury Garcia as more utility guy than regular CF. "We’re going to give him an opportunity to be moved around a lot and keep him as valuable as we possibly can at any position we have." https://twitter.com/CST_soxvan/status/965698037375840256

QUOTE (balfanman @ Feb 18, 2018 -> 02:48 PM) I can’t link the article from the tribune for some reason, if someone can it would be appreciated. I’m excited for the rebuild, but there is an article there where Yoan Moncada is quoted as saying that he’s excited knowing that the second base job is his. Maybe he was taken the wrong way, but this bothers me. He’s a talented, exciting young prospect, but it is not like he is a perennial all star and mvp candidate at this point in his career. I hope he does that in his career, but at this point he should have to earn it. Yes, he is the most likely winner there, but if he has a horrible spring, and someone else, say Yolmer Sanchez for example, tears the cover off the ball along with his sparkling defense this spring, Moncada should not just be handed the job. I just don’t like the attitude. JMHO. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0217-story.html I'm guessing you are referring to this article. Here is his quotes "Last year when the team called me (up), I thought they just were going to give me a few chances to play second base,” Moncada said through a team interpreter. “But they gave me the opportunity to play every day and it was a really good experience for me. “This year, knowing that I’m going to be at second base every day, I’m going to feel more comfortable.” I mean the job is his. Your not going to let him compete with other players for it when he's your future second baseman. You want him to play everyday to see what he is capable of. Who's he he going to compete with anyway for everyday. Sanchez is a utility player and probably going to see some time at 3rd. Saladino is a utility player and needs to get healthy. Leury is a utility player but will be eyeing for c.f.
