If the Sox are torn between him and someone else that plays a premium position, I would hope that they would pick the guy at the premium position. Also, doesn't all this Beer talk belong in the 2018 draft discussion?

Oh man. Are they really down on his defense? Has he only been playing 1B this season?

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Mar 1, 2017 -> 07:19 PM) The make or break Avi year was last season at the latest and he broke. If he's suddenly good this year, he's going elsewhere via trade. Only 2 years of control left so I agree.

QUOTE (Doc Edwards Shot @ Mar 1, 2017 -> 03:12 PM) He must have thrown too much in the offseason to be coming down with dead arm at the start of ST. More pitchers need to take a page out of Mark Buehrle's book and stop throwing completely through the winter. That could be why Mark was so durable. Possibly.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Mar 1, 2017 -> 02:30 PM) What exactly did Peavy do to deserve your disdain? Dude was intense but he had a very serious injury and worked his ass off to overcome it and his Sox career is actually a lot better than people give him credit for. He made just 83 starts in a Sox uniform due to the injury and in those 83 starts he accumulated 10.8 fWAR. That works out to roughly 4 fWAR per full season pitched. That's pretty damn good. Looking at what we gave up for him at the time, we won that deal by a landslide.

I kinda doubt the Cardinals would pay what it would take for Q. I think it'd be more likely that they would have interest in Gonzalez.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Mar 1, 2017 -> 11:41 AM) And looking back at their careers, does anyone think they warranted their draft selection? Based on the couple responses above, yes.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Mar 1, 2017 -> 11:42 AM) His innings limit should be done by September without injuries, if he is a starter all year. True. But like I said, too generous of a prediction.

There will only be a few expensive games. Was thinking of buying tickets for when they play the Royals on a weekend (their fans pack our park) or the Yankees and just selling them for more on stubhub.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 1, 2017 -> 11:08 AM) lol wut This is one of the most logically backward posts I've ever read. It's totally something they would do if they were trying to go for it and felt they were his bat away from being on top haha but this is a rebuild.

Grabbed tickets for Buehrle day!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 12:34 PM) In all seriousness, get off of the Disney channel and Nick Jr. The PBS kids shows are a million times better than those networks. In terms of keeping them engaged and learning? I'm just asking because I have no idea.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 1, 2017 -> 07:03 AM) Someone tell me if I need to buy Horizon: Zero Dawn. Just saw a commercial for it yesterday and it looked amazing. I don't have much room on my hard drive on my ps4 though.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 1, 2017 -> 08:21 AM) There are many cases of guys being brought up too soon, but I don't know how Beckham is constantly used. He obviously was ready to play in the major leagues at that point and dominating the minors wasn't going to do anything for him. Maybe failure in the minors would have helped him, but it wasn't happening, and he was so rushed, he was the Sporting News ROY. These guys are going to stay down for a while no matter what, but I think that is more about service time being wasted while they totally suck then about being ready to be called up. If the White Sox weren't trying to win in 2009, Beckham probably would have stayed in Charlotte until September. That is probably what will happen here even if these guys are dominating. Yeah I don't mind waiting for them. It's not like we are trying to win next season. I'd rather have them them up in the majors with as much control as possible when they're going for it.

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 1, 2017 -> 07:36 AM) There's no way. Even if his talent proves undeniable he has so far to go to build up his stamina and innings. He can't do that in September in the minors due to the season being over (unless a team is in the playoffs). I was only talking about getting his feet wet. But yeah, like I said, September 2018 is too generous.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Mar 1, 2017 -> 12:27 AM) I always go to Best Buy, ask for the special edition one, and then see if they will pricematch to Amazon's standard edition price of $47.99. It's worked 2 years in a row. Yeah I would do that but I'm downtown all day so I don't mind the delivery.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Mar 1, 2017 -> 02:02 AM) If Lopez and Moncada aren't on the MLB roster by July it's not a good sign. Giolito it would be nice to see a cameo from in late summer and September. Kopech? Kopech shouldn't sniff the bigs this year, perhaps even if he's the 2nd coming of Kerry Wood in AA. Fulmer? Hopefully he forces his way up by August. He's a 4th starter at best imo though. Not as exciting as the others mentioned. Kopech September 18 at earliest I would say and that's probably being too generous.

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Feb 28, 2017 -> 09:01 PM) Zack Colliins, as a Left handed DH and third string catcher would make some sense. Matt Davidson as a Right Handed DH second string third basemen might also make some sense. No, no it doesn't make sense.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 28, 2017 -> 04:00 PM) If I was going to say any of those guys took a bit longer, I'd have pegged it to be Moncada. That said, I still say it would be dissapointing if they weren't all on the major league roster come the summer. It would definitely suck as we all want to see him but I would completely understand why it happened if it did. Sucks that the Red Sox put him on their 40-man in September. He currently wouldn't be on our 40-man right now as he wouldn't have enough minor league time to warrant the need for it.

I really wouldn't be opposed to Moncada getting a full year in Triple-A to be honest. Maybe a September call-up and then called up June 2018 (if he's producing) and then having him for the remainder of the year plus 6 years. This is only his age 21-season so you can definitely make a case for it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 28, 2017 -> 09:42 AM) In general that will be the best way to get tickets. I am going to get on line to make sure I get good seats for the Buehrle game. Shhhh don't give people ideas lol

QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 28, 2017 -> 01:43 PM) We acquire pitchers all the time and Coop fixes them. Alvarez was a top draft pick and so many people on here are convinced if we tank we'll get top draft picks who will excel. More draft picks flop than excel. Do you even know who you're talking about anymore?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 28, 2017 -> 01:22 PM) They will both wash out relatively quickly. (Davidson and Asche) Honestly there is a decent chance that neither is on the opening day roster, and rightfully so. Hell, Asche may not even be in the minors since he would have to be DFA'd. Especially when you factor in having to make room for guys not on the 40-man but probably going to make the team (Bourjos comes to mind).

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Feb 28, 2017 -> 01:13 PM) Imo, Lawrie stands a good chance of being released at the end of ST. His leg is still bothering him and the Sox have Saladino to play 2B who is the better player anyway. Lawrie literally has no value. Anyway, back to Wright. I wonder what a good asking price for Frazier is if the Mets were interested. Would like to get Nimmo but something tells me that's a bit of a reach. Yeah I'm kinda thinking Lawrie gets released at the end of Spring Training. Especially if Tyler tears it up. Minimal trade value and he's always hurt. Not really a ton of upside. As for Frazier, he needs to get on the field himself first haha
