February 22, 20188 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 22, 2018 -> 12:58 PM) https://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/name-th...a-budding-star/ [/b] I've been a bit skeptical of Robert but it seems like now that he's actually in the states and we are getting more evaluations that 1) he's a CF long term and 2) he's not just a toolsy athlete but actually has some baseball ability. It's really exciting having all these guys in camp it absolutely can't hurt to have them all competing against each other in drills and BP groups.
February 22, 20188 yr Seeing the Brent Honeywell news (he left with a trainer during warmups) reminded me that it's Tommy John season and I have my fingers crossed we get through it okay. Luckily, unlike last year, nobody is surprisingly "taking it easy"

I read 2 paragraphs on that same thing last year and am 100% clinging to him "figuring something out" so we can dump him & ease the pain of giving up a top 10 prospect for him.

He started pitching with that angle towards the end of the year but I can't remember how long it was for.

Very sad and Duarte was very honest about how he dealt with it ,(alcohol and more alcohol). . The ticket to the concert was originally his but he gave it to his sister. Have to feel for the guy .
February 28, 20188 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 28, 2018 -> 09:02 AM) 30 Clubs in 30 Days day for the Sox. 6pm. Which is why the morning Hot Stove Show had a white sox slant to it. They talked to Hawk, Joel Sherman had some comments on the the Burger injury ( called him Brugman but later corrected himself) and injuries to Rodon and Burdi making the point I've been making about injuries derailing the best laid plans and how the Cubs and Astros made it look too easy. Also talked about Harold Baines and his chances for the HOF . Had the cubs Sox game highlights pretty early in the show and talked about Kopech dating the reality show girl and appearing on that show. Also with the Hawk talk was a clip of Lauren Shehadi (MLB network reporter/anchorwoman) saying she had a crush on Hawk from when Hawk was in the studio I don't know when.
