QUOTE (credezcrew24 @ Jul 23, 2017 -> 05:28 PM) Is anyone concerned that he can't pull the ball whatsoever? I don't feel as though this is concerning.

we have a very, very, very bad ball club on our hands. Could easily obtain the number one pick, and I feel like the superstar is either gonna be Brady singer (pitcher from Florida) or brice turang (SS high school).

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 21, 2017 -> 05:01 PM) Completely agree. Seemed we were in the same position as the Bulls. 0 legit prospects, an owner who didn't want us rebuilding for years because of his age, etc. When Rick made his mired in mediocrity speech, we knew we were probably gonna and even at the deadline we were open for selling. So we were looking forward to selling off assets and getting good returns. Now we have all of the goods and our team is so bad. Now we have to wait and it sucks

that article fails to realize that for years we didn't focus on the farm system at all and never really kept our higher round picks. Also, the guys at the top of our list who have all failed were only at the top of the list because our farm system was dead last.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 20, 2017 -> 01:03 AM) He literally said that? He did, it was great. My buddy and I were so happy after

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 20, 2017 -> 12:52 AM) What was his response? He replied thank you boys it's my pleasure

Also this team is going to be very very bad for the rest of this year and the next and probably most of 2019

Sidenote, saw rick Hahn today sitting above the dugout talking to some people. told him thank you for everything he has done

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 05:03 PM) What would be a good 2.5 months for Moncada? around .280 hitter with 10 homers, good defense, sub 30% k rate would be fantastic

It's always fun to play future lineup. As it would stand now without next years likely top 3 pick 2020 Lineup 1. Robert CF 2. Rutherford RF 3. Moncada 2B 4. Jimenez LF 5. Collins C 6. Abreu DH 7. Burger 3B 8. Sheets/Beer (if we draft him) 1B 9. Anderson SS Rotation 1. Kopech 2. Rodon 3. Lopez 4. Dunning 5/RP. Hansen, Giolito, Cease, Adams, Stephens, Guerrero, Clarkin SU Fulmer CL Burdi

It will be more helpful for him to learn in the show

Unfortunately for us, we could try and keep Frazier and give him a qualifying offer and gain a compensatory pick in the draft..but Frazier would just pick up the qualifying offer.

RaBBit just said Todd Frazier to Red Sox

I think Boston could make a move soon for Frazier since they just DFA'd Pablo Sandoval

One of the best moves Jerry ever made was to hire rick Hahn, one of the smartest men in all of baseball

This is most definitely a 9. We now have the stud blue-chip prospects, now all we need are depth pieces to fill out the farm system.

I kind of love kenny but I don't really understand what he does for the club now anymore, also don't know how he puts his ego away to let Rick get all of the credit and make all of the deals.

Someone said on twitter that the Cubs were engaged in deep trade talks last night with athletics and nationals

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 06:06 PM) So cute. So full of hope. 2 words: Scott Boras. Boras has negotiated extensions before, not like it can't be done. Even if he does opt for free agency in like 5 years, we will need him for the start of contention. You don't trade away a guy who has all the potential in the world and hasn't even scratched it yet as a 24 year old just because you're in a rebuild. Thats how you become continually bad.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 05:52 PM) He will at some point, he won't be extended and he will hit free agency right in the middle of the contention window. If he has a second half similar to last season I can see him getting moved over the winter especially with the what quality pitching is going to cost in FA. It's way too early to tell if he won't be extended. For now he's very young and very controllable and hasn't even scratched his potential. He fits right into the rebuild, and I highly doubt he gets moved.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 04:29 PM) Theres always someone to trade. After this round of trades we will have Rodon, Abreu, Avi, Sanchez, Jones, and whoever takes over at closer to talk about in the winter. Rodon will not be traded

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 04:24 PM) Yeah, just a little. I'm glad people like the at-home GM game, but I just want July 31st to get here and see what's new for the rebuild. For right now it's all we have, unfortunately. Anybody else think about how boring it's gonna be when we suck and there's no one left to trade?

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 04:15 PM) Frazier + Adams + Florial I would do Brinson + Ortiz + Phillips I would do Rodgers + McMahon + Almonte back I would do Albies + Gohara + Pache I would do Tucker + Whitley/Perez + solid third piece I would do Yankees package is light Would take Brewers Rockies in a heartbeat Braves would also take in a heartbeat Astros is ok

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 03:46 PM) That's probably fairest of the four but I would take that for Q right now and not look back. I think people need to adjust their expectations. So I'm guessing that quintana's value has somewhat diminished?

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 03:34 PM) Sox would make every one of those trades. Which opposing teams wouldn't do those trades?
