QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 28, 2017 -> 09:05 AM) Is that particularly impressive with 20+ rounds? My #1 crush haha I think he was implying that it was the top guy he wanted. I've had all the guys I wanted the Sox to take in the first round get drafted. Granted, a lot of us likely wanted all of those guys but still. A lot were definitely not into the Collins pick at first.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Apr 28, 2017 -> 08:39 AM) I really think Haseley is right up their alley. I keep likening him to Benitendi as well, even though he comes up short on a few of the tools by comparison. He's my current draft crush at the moment. An aside, either Callis or Manual noted yesterday that he could see Faedo falling into the White Sox lap at 11. Couldn't argue with that if it happened. The last 3 drafts, my draft crush got taken in each draft. I'll let you know who I've settled on a few days before lol won't really read up on anything until about within a week up to the draft.

Yeah...it's time for him to go. Guy would probably clear waivers anyway. Give Davidson at bats at 1B, DH Abreu, call up...I'm not sure. Don't want Delmonico up since there isn't room for every day at bats yet. Maybe another reliever?

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 12:56 PM) We could do the same thing. Possibly. Probably not a good idea though unless Melky and Frazier is still here past July.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 08:07 PM) Pretty funny he's getting no run support from the Bo Sox so far this season. Is anyone on the Red Sox getting run support?

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 04:08 PM) Initially I was pro-tank for the draft pick, but we're much better suited to guys playing well and building value than getting a draft pick a few slots higher. I'd rather get the #6 pick and have Kahnle/Swarzak/Holland/Gonzalez turn into viable trade pieces than get the #2 pick and have all of them suck. Hopefully Frazier and Melky turn it up a notch as well.

QUOTE (Johansupi @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 04:00 PM) Thats great news! The chance of new WWZ not being crap increased greatly You can say that again. What an awful movie.

QUOTE (MnSoxFan @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 03:36 PM) He better be committed to this rebuild I think they're committed. What do you expect them to do? Hold onto the guys like Holland and Gonzalez (if they are pitching well) only to have them block the guys in the minors who could be ready and let the above guys leave for nothing?

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 02:22 PM) I think they were willing to give their in-house options a try and didn't want to trade more prospects after already depleting their system. But as we get closer to the deadline they'll probably change their tune if the bullpen troubles continue. Exactly. Nothing wrong with seeing what you have before making a big decision like trading even more prospects.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 02:00 PM) Kinda doubting Robertson ends up in Washington at this point. If a deal was going to happen it likely would have happened already. It was reported like a week ago that they've been in constant contact. Just need Kelley and Glover to fail.

Lol That is all.

Already lowered that ERA down to 5.22. He'll be fine.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 01:21 PM) Someone forgot Leury Garcia! Lol

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 12:58 PM) Intentional Talk is going to start airing on ESPN, allowing them to dissolve their baseball analysts to save money. I personally hope no one chooses to watch Intentional Talk on ESPN over MLB Network. I currently don't have a choice :'(

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 12:28 PM) Check that - with the home run - 5-for-11, HR, 2B, 2 BB, 2 K in 11 PA. CF job at the MLB level is pretty wide-open right now. Someone has to take advantage.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 10:24 AM) Moncada could actually come up on May 15th and still be under control for 7 seasons. He'd probably qualify for Super 2 Status though. I'm not sure they are worried about Super 2 Status, but I wouldn't mind him staying down longer anyway.

Zobrist looks like he is being moved into a bench role with the team. Must be nice to be able to afford a ~$15 million bench bat lol

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 10:11 AM) Is Cespedes a fair player comp for Robert? Speaking of Cespedes, what do scouts say about his 19-year old half brother, Yoelkis? Is he expected to come over in the next Amateur International signing period? If so, is he someone we could maybe persuade to sign at $300k if we go over in the current period on Robert? I'm just asking because I don't know much about him.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 10:08 AM) I thought the Sox were supposed to be eliminated by now. LOL. They are leading the AL Central. Yea Yea I know it's probably short-lived, but that's hilarious to see, especially with NUMEROUS players on this team hitting well below their career average. Wonder if they hang around for another month? We were 14-6 at this point in the season last year. 3 game difference this season. We'll see how it's looking in June/July.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 09:33 AM) With the way Robertson is pitching I would like to see us go to the deadline rather than settle for anything Washington is willing to offer us Unless of course they make a desperation type of offer.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 08:44 AM) A thin bullpen is a recipe for playoff disaster Yep. Maybe they can trade for Robertson + on of Putnam/Petricka/Jennings to make it look more deep.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 26, 2017 -> 07:51 PM) Was listening to the Kanny game today and had nightmares the Sox wouldn't pull the trigger on Robert because of Micker Adolfo being "just a guy" in Low A ball 4 years after he signed. Obviously, comes down to scouting. Jimenez has done extremely well for the Cubs, he was #1 in his class and Adolfo #2 in his. By now, we should be able to start combing through those MLB lists from 4-5 years ago and seeing how many of those INTL Top 20 guys are doing better than expected, on course, or have fallen behind. To be fair, he was 16 when he signed.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Apr 26, 2017 -> 10:03 PM) What a post! Lol yep.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 25, 2017 -> 01:25 PM) Avi has now passed the 70 PA threshold for K rate. He's at 23.5%. A good sign but he needs to continue to hit for power. His iso is dropping quickly and if you normalize his BABIP down to a more reasonable .340 instead of .457 his slash line goes down basically to his career stats. Frankly, looking at his stats this week, I don't see much room for optimism that he has really turned a corner. That said, defensively he's been mediocre so far, instead of god awful, so that's a bonus. Agreed. He'll come back down to earth eventually. His BABIP was like .470 before yesterday's game.
