Some reputable Sox twitter personalities (Bilek, WSD) are hinting at something big for Saturday. Gonna be Kopech vs. Cubs?
Also, Kopech scratched from Thursday start in Charlotte.
Smoke...fire.

Can somebody rate them 1-5 defensively?
I'm intrigued by Rutherford. Even if the pop never develops, he has really good bat control and looks like he can work the ball around the field (i'm basing this off the video available online. never seen him in person). If he's a plus defender, his bat will play, especially if we can make up for the lack of power in other spots around the field.
I could be wrong but I think defensively its probably:
1 Basabe
2 Robert
3 Rutherford
4 Adolfo
5 Jimenez
Basabe and Robert both have CF capabilities.
Rutherford has a bit more flexibility than Adolfo in the outfield but Adolfo has a cannon for an arm in right. Probably the best outfield arm in our system.Unfortunately the UCL injury jeopardizes that.

Also, does anyone else with MILB.tv know why Birmingham seems to have the worst broadcast quality? No on-screen scoreboard, weird camera angles, and sometimes they just aren't even broadcast at all. I'm a new subscriber, is this how it's always been for the Barons? AAA and A+ don't seem to have the same issues.

Matt Rose just had a 2 RBI double. Collins (BB) and Zavala (1B) score.
Eloy K'd swinging.
Top 1.

Big bats in Birmingham getting it done tonight:
Zavala 1-2, HR, BB
Jimenez 2-4, Double, RBi
Collins 1-3, with a run and K
Rose huge night 3-4, 4 RBI, 2 HR

There goes Jason not understanding the rules again on 1st base occupied on a drop 3rd strike

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 17, 2018 -> 10:05 PM)Just need to find him a different partner that doesn’t play up the humor game. I actually Benetti when he’s talking baseball and not making funnies.
AJ would probably be good in that sense. But he's likely to get into managing rather than broadcasting long term.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 17, 2018 -> 09:59 PM)I don't think Jason knows basic baseball. it's enforced every night. stone now explaining baserunning you learn in little league.
Not looking forward to the next few decades of him calling Sox games.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 17, 2018 -> 08:22 PM)I have no idea how accurate MILB Gameday is, but Adolfo just took four pitches that were barely balls for a walk. He really seems way more selective this year.
I'm not sure who I'm more excited about right now between Adolfo and Basabe but it's a good dilemma. Both guys look great so far in 2018.

Hitting prospects have been pretty quiet tonight with the exception of Rutherford's RBI double:
Collins 0-1, K, BB
Zavala 0-1, K, BB
Basabe 0-3
Adolfo 0-3
Sheets 0-3
Yrizzari is 2-3 and Mercedez has a HR

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jan 21, 2018 -> 08:17 PM)I would love this deal for the Sox. Ellsbury's contract sucks but it's worth it to get Brinson and possibly other prospects as well. And it's possible that the Yankees/Milwaukee could eat some of his contract too.
Absolutely no shot the sox are taking on that Ellsbury contract.

QUOTE (cjgalloway @ Jan 18, 2018 -> 01:35 PM)I just can't believe anyone still has him in the top 100 in all of baseball.. surprises me
Rutherford had a quote in the Athletic saying he grew another inch to inch and a half this offseason. It's easy to forget how young he is and still coming into his body. Obviously would like to see an improvement at the plate in 2018 but I don't think he should lose all of his stock as a prospect.

Breaking down Nightengale article :
-White Sox have made the best offer
-It does NOT include any of our very top tier prospects
-O's are going to trade Machado
-O's are afraid if they trade Machado to Sox, he will end up in NY at deadline
It's #WhiteSox or #Cardinals

Which packages include playoff tickets?

Talk of the MLB expanding to two more cities and realigning their current structure has been circulating online this week. This article proposes some possible changes:
http://www.baseballamerica.com/columnists/...CgDpd02WuY1L.97
The main changes would be:
- 156 game schedule
- Four divisions of eight teams (Sox divsion has Cubs, Brewers, Cardinals, Rockies, Royals, Astros, and Rangers)
- 12 playoff teams (Four division winners play winners of four play-in games)
Personally, I would be pretty surprised to see the MLB shake things up this much. It's an interesting idea though and does make sense on a lot of levels. Would love to see the Brewers in the Sox division. Cubs vs Sox in a division race would be very interesting to say the least.
Thoughts?

This quote from Hahn was from a few minutes ago at a sabermetrics seminar. Sure sounds like Reynaldo will be pitching Friday night vs. KC at GRF. Lines up with his current schedule as I believe he is supposed to pitch Sunday for Charlotte.

Asked about pitching prospects being called up, Hahn said "Maybe buy tickets for Friday night."

Levine says sox are getting 4 players back.
Rutherford, Clarkin, Clippard, and????

Tyler Clippard in the deal
-
QUOTE (Soha @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 09:25 PM)I was just thinking that. He seems like a 3rd or 4th piece.
I think it's pretty unlikely Clarkin is the 2nd best piece in this deal. Trading 3 above average major leaguers. Two of which have control beyond this season. This package should contain Rutheford, (insert prospect), Clarkin, +

"@scotgregor
Earlier starting lineups for #WhiteSox-Dodgers game tonight have been pulled. Could be injury, could be trade. Stay tuned"
Frazier trade in the works?
-
QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 17, 2017 -> 12:18 PM)
I would absolutely make that deal. I am alittle confused about his wording regarding the Robertson trade. Is he speculating Andujar coming to the Sox for Robertson?
If so, he's basically saying we could land Groom, Chavis, and Andujar for Frazier, Kahnle, and Robertson. That seems like a really nice return for the Sox.
-
QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 17, 2017 -> 12:14 PM)Nightengale predicted Kahnle/Frazier for Groome/Chavis
Where did Nightengale say this?

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 08:12 AM)I posted it yesterday and I still think it would be true
Schwarber or Happ, Eloy and Cease will be the cub haul.
I think Schwarber is in the deal for no other than reason than to add a name. If he fails in the next year or two years no problem.
Theo needs to make a move and they have zero need for Schwarber. Cease and Eloy are the names the Sox need.
Cubs aren't giving up that much. No way they give up more than 1 of Schwarber/ Happ/ Jiminez. Would be a great haul for Sox though.
Reds trade for Harvey

According to Tim Brown of Yahoo....
Harvey to Reds is close.
