I'm talking about just claiming a guy on waivers, not the Rule 5 draft order.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 21, 2017 -> 07:40 AM) Pentecost has done nothing to be warranted a pick at #4 imo. My hopes are the Sox claim Appel and DFA someone like May, and then draft Nick Burdi. I'm not sure Appel is going to make it out of the NL. Plenty or rebuilding teams that could claim him.

QUOTE (Tony @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 11:41 PM) How much do you want to know? Played through it a few days ago. It's a fun story, especially if you are even mildly interested in Star Wars. I will say if you aren't going to play multiplayer, $60 for the single player campaign isn't worth it. Gonna see if the game is cheaper anywhere the next few days. Definitely past the days where I want to pay full price for games.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 09:22 PM) Pentecost and Appel = Happy ? I would expect an NL team to claim Appel (Padres?).

Deadline extended.

Psh, of course.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 04:06 PM) Well it's also an extra like $50k salary a year, and dramatically increases their chances of seeing the majors that year. Well if his arm is really that good, he can be nabbed for a bullpen/long reliever spot by a team next month.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 04:02 PM) I'm surprised Guerrero is mad. If he's picked he is in the majors next year, if he's not he's in...the same place with the org he already was in. Isn't the rule 5 draft kind of a favor to exactly these sort of players? This is what I thought too. There would actually be a chance of this benefiting him.

Now I understand haha

Saw Cardinals added a few OFs to their 40-man and decided to take a look at how many they have knowing they have a lot. Then I looked at ours. We have a ton lol even though some can play IF too like L. Garcia, Cordell and Hanson.

Still time left.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 03:23 PM) Leury? Really? Willy.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 03:06 PM) No Peter huh? Pretty shocking the way Hahn talked about him the other day.

QUOTE (ypres @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 02:52 PM) What would be a realistic Avi-extension that most are comfortable with? 5/$30M-6/$48M? Wow that seems extremely light especially considering he's projected around over $6 mill for this year and having another season of arb left.

QUOTE (ypres @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 02:44 PM) I don't like Stanton going to the Giants. His power numbers would drop playing there 81 games a year, plus the 8-10 at SD. Obviously going to Coors and Chase helps a bit, but still. Stanton is good defensively though (+45 career DRS in the outfield) so he'll be able to man it well. The guy's power plays anywhere. Miami isn't quite a hitter's park.

Sox play in a big market but really should be treated as small-market. Also, wow Royals could have like 5 picks in the first ~40 (that is, if the Homser, Mous and Cain sign for over $50 mill).

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 12:24 PM) Da bessss, aka Eloy Jimenez. He has him in the lineup in LF.

QUOTE (oneofthemikes @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 09:46 AM) I think I would actually really like to extend both. Then in a couple years when the kids are ready to move into their OF spots, move Avi to 1B and Abreu to DH. Need to see another most/full season of Avi before I start wanting to extend him.

I think he gets protected. They just traded for him. They can cut enough guys to add everyone and leave a spot or two open for the draft I believe. Non-tender Putnam (most obvious thing to do), waive Hanson, May, and possibly Willy, release Farquhar, etc.

Deadline is at 7pm. There should be a flurry of small moves throughout the day around the league.

I love Vizquel being in the organization! As a player, he helped Andrus and Alexei on the defense side. I was hoping he would one day be like an infield instructor or something (was going to say a base coach but then he wouldn't really be able to give advice in between defense innings).

Also a good time to sneak guys through waivers off of the 40-man (guys like Palka).

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 19, 2017 -> 12:41 PM) Now I'm getting mad. This is irresponsible. We're not going to win a pennant without some leftovers. These 2 guys are excellent hitters and ballplayers and both have intangibles a team likes. If Hahn trades these two you may all have your wish, I may be gone as a fan. Done. It's ridiculous to trade these two and think we're going to win one or two or more WS titles with the rebuilt group. Ever hear of a mixture of guys who've been with the team a while and all the new young players? Hahn obviously (if this report is true) loves the fact all the statniks/trade people are praising him daily. Mr Hahn I ask you, what the hell is wrong with Abreu and Avi??? Why the need to trade them for MORE prospects. You weren't mad before? Lololol

QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Nov 19, 2017 -> 08:46 AM) 2019 Lineup: SS Anderson 2B Moncada 3B Machado (Don't think he leaves BAL unfortunately, But should be priority $1...Donaldson is OLD and ALREADY in decline) 1B Abreu LF Jimenez RF Garcia DH Delmonico C Collins CF Leury Bench: [[/b ] [b]C Flowers, 1B/3B Davidson, IF Sanchez, UT Cordell Rotation: Kopech, Rodon, Giolito, Lopez, Hansen Bullpen: Allen, Jones, Burdi, Capps, Fulmer, Guerrero, Vieira Guys that should be on ML roster but are victim of depth: Cease, Dunning, Gillaspie, Adams, Stephens, Tilson, Bummer, Polo, Zavala, Palka Top 10 Prospects in '19: CF Robert, #4 Overall pick of '18, Adolfo, Rutherford, Burger, 2018 2nd rounder, Dunning, Sheets,Basabe, Call Lol really? Maybe if they didn't give a huge contract to Davis.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 17, 2017 -> 03:31 PM) There's an echo in here. Oh yeah my bad lol didn't see that. Carry on all.
