QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Apr 19, 2017 -> 07:30 PM) Be sensible. There is no one in that bullpen that is worth extending to be a part of our potential championship teams 3-4 years from now. However, Avi's bat can be a cornerstone and help make that dynasty happen. If we let him play out this season and hit the open market, its likely going to cost $20 million a season to keep him. If we could get a deal done now at $12 mil per, it would give us $8 mil more to work with on annual basis. Dan Hayes @CSNHayes 20s In his first 11 1/3 IP with #WhiteSox, Tommy Kahnle walked 14 and struck out 7. From Aug 11 forward, he has 30 Ks and 7 BBs in 21 2/3 IP. #ReliefACE $20 Million a season for Avi after a great 2 weeks, and I'm not being sensible...Trolling is fun.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Apr 19, 2017 -> 04:54 PM) Finally someone else who agrees with me. Let's hope Hahn is on our side. I'd love to hear them announce a deal soon and think the figures I mentioned to start this thread would be fair to all (6 years / $72 million). If he's the next Trout why stop at 6/72? Why not give him Pujols money since he's gonna be better, gotta keep him locked down thru his prime and past! Then extend our relief aces Putnam, Jennings, Ynoa (hell, throw Kahnle a bone too) to a Chapmanesque contract and we'll be set!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 19, 2017 -> 08:48 AM) This will be a weekly Wednesday feature - a deep dive spotlight on a specific prospect, sometimes one that isn't as well known to Sox fans yet. Y2Jimmy0 (James) debuts the series, opening with infielder Mitch Roman, who many have been asking about. You want to know about Mitch? There ya go! Nice write up, much appreciated (especially considering I was just asking about him yesterday)!

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 10:59 PM) I'm not 100% on this, but I was told he postponed. As in it will still happen in the future. That's what's in the article, he postponed them due to the flu. Poor phrasing on my part with the "cancelled" drop, but yeah he was sick and didn't hold them. The Sox had the workout scheduled, but didn't get to actually work him out, but are expected to in the future.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 09:18 PM) WTF I believe it will have something to do with Q stating in an earlier interview that watching his show helped him learn English, total guess but seems logical.

Charlotte wins 3-1, finally gets off the schnied.

Big K from DRob there!!!!

QUOTE (Tony @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 08:04 PM) Coming into tonight, Miguel Gonzalez had a 2.90 ERA in his last 90 innings pitched dating back to July 1, 2016. #WhiteSox @DanHayesCSN What a great pickup by Hahn. This is one of those bargain bin pickups that worked out very well thus far.

This game is a perfect tribute to Buehrle on the 10th anniversary of his no-no, it's flying by.

Miggy has just thrown his 69th pitch, its BOT 8 right now, that's nuts.

6 scoreless for Dunning now as well, seems to be handling Kanny with ease. 84 pitches thru 6.

Collins picked off a runner from 1st.

QUOTE (SouthWallace @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 06:44 PM) Found this interesting: CST_soxvan: Willy Garcia, a RF by trade, starting in CF for Charlotte. "We’ll see what he’s capable of doing out there as a possibility,'' Hahn said. https://twitter.com/cst_soxvan/status/854479521545945089 It can't hurt to see if he can play it, versatility is always nice.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 06:19 PM) Didn't they already have a private workout 2-3 weeks ago? In the article Badler said Robert cancelled some workouts (Sox included) because he had the flu.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 07:25 PM) Why in the world are Basabe & Call sitting two days in a row? Injuries?? Also, Johan Cruz with his 6th 2B on the season. He has a real chance to shoot up the prospect ranks. Call is on the 7 Day DL currently, not sure about Basabe. Dunning with the K to get out of a bases loaded jam.

QUOTE (Jimmy3Putt @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 05:58 PM) Over/under 5 games before he's back on the DL. I'll go under with 4.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 04:17 PM) Baseball America called him the best defensive infielder from the Sox 2016 draft class, FWIW. Also noted for a strong arm. In fact he was drafted more around his defense than offense, from what I understand. Last year in Great Falls he played mostly shortstop, but some 2B and even a couple games in LF. This year he's been just a 2B, which is a little odd since the shortstop position has been manned by Grant Massey (who is an org soldier) and Max Dutto (who is a good defensive SS but is riding the bench half the time). That makes me wonder about Roman's glove reputation a bit, but it's also just 11 games into the season so maybe not time to draw conclusions. Thanks for the insight! Since I've been following the minors a lot more diligently this season his numbers jumped out at me right away (albeit the small sample size to base it off of right now), but to me he's an interesting under-the-radar prospect.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 10:51 AM) Here's the first FULL week Prospect Hot List report. Kannapolis starting to hit, everyone else starting to pitch. Who among these players is piquing your interest? Mitch Roman is intriguing to me, is he a poor man's Kevin Newman?

New Badler Article on Robert Says expected to be cleared prior to June 15. Shipps beat me, but Badler does mention the teams that have already gone over their pool for 16-17 are most likely to sign Robert FWIW.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Apr 16, 2017 -> 12:09 PM) I see you can watch farm games for $49. Anyone subscribe to this? I did as well, at the bottom if you enter in the promo code field any minor league team name, (knights, barons, drillers, etc.) it would give a $10 discount, at least when I purchased a couple weeks ago it was still active. Sometimes the quality it poor depending on the hosting team, but overall I'm happy with the decision I made to buy the subscription. It will enroll you in the automatic enrollment for the next season, so if you don't want that you just need to remember to cancel it next year.

Charlotte (4-5) @ Norfolk (2-7), Pelfrey vs Stewart, MiLB.tv, 6:05 CT Montgomery (5-3) @ Birmingham (1-7), Harris vs Lowry, MiLB.tv, 6:30 CT Buies Creek (7-2) @ Winston Salem (2-7), Quiala vs McRee, MiLB.tv, 5:30 CT Kannapolis (2-7) @ Hickory (4-5), DOUBLE HEADER, no starters announced yet, Game 1 @ 4:00 CT http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?c...mp;ymd=20170415

The top of Kanny's order had themselves a night, a combined 8-12, 5 R, 4 RBI, 1 2B, 1 HR, 3 BB (1 a piece between Booker, Roman, & Fisher), 1 SB.

Nice to see Zavala have a good day as well, 2-4 with a HR.
