The Yankees suck! We have their number. Al Central > AL East

 

The Feathered Serpent is out for blood tonight.

Too much optimism on the board. We're screwed

f*** THE YANKEES!

Come on New Q, survive another start!

I predict we score 3 runs in the first inning, 5 in the second inning and 6 runs in the next seven innings. White Sox win 14-0

If Q pitches 6.2 innings or more tonight, he passes the ROY threshold.

One could also interpret that to say the White Sox will score 50 runs.

You mean he becomes qualified for it, right? Because there is no way in hell he has a chance against Mike Trout.

Run total is 10.5 tonight....since Quintana will shut them out, that seems like an easy under win.

Great, does baby need his bottle?

 

 

There has been no complaining from Beckham.

f*** the Yankees, score 30.

If Trout got hurt tomorrow, there would be a shot. What if the Sox drafted Trout instead of Mitchell?

The Sox also passed on Pujols several times. The point I'm making is the White Sox and some fans have been using their draft position as an excuse for not developing a lot of good players in the past decade. They have had opportunities to draft a lot of good ones. Of course, the problem could have been in their developmental personnel. Had they had drafted guys like Trout, Pujols, Pedroia (I'm cherrypicking, I know) maybe they don't become the players they became.

 

It does help a team, especially one where payroll is always under discussion, to develop some home grown stars. Maybe the Sox are turning a corner, but if they had Trout and he was as good as he is now, Anthony Rizzo wouldn't be page 5 news. I wonder where he was on the Sox board.

Other than Tizzle, nobody here has dismissed the notion that you have to have a top-5 pick every year to build up a farm system more than I have. I agree with everything you've said here. I just threw that initial post out there before somebody else did.

Obviously it helps to have higher picks, especially 1-5 or 1-10, but you can certainly find great players throughout the draft. It certainly is a bit more difficult though.

I envy their success. I envy their almost limitless resources. I don't hate particular players just because they're Yankees. Derek Jeter, for example, is one of the best players of his generation.

Yes, that is what I meant. I certainly wasn't predicting a ROY win for him, more just pointing it out because he's then no longer a "prospect" by that standard, and I was surprised he already reached that many innings. That's all.

Do you really want or need and answer? But, I hate the Twins more
