August 16, 201411 yr People would be very happy with the draft pick position, and there would be no need cheering for losses as those would come by the dozens naturally. If this is supposed to be White Sox draft picks, Davidson, Santos and Cotts don't belong. Edited August 16, 201411 yr by Dick Allen

Yes, I'm aware of that...there's virtually no way to fill out a team without going to minor leaguers or former minor leaguers in our system. I don't even think Chris Getz is still playing baseball, or Josh Fields. Maybe Fields is... I only included Santos because we basically "reinvented" him as a pitcher, so you can't say the Sox don't deserve at least 50% or more of the credit for that one.
August 16, 201411 yr Author QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 16, 2014 -> 08:08 AM) Why leave out Chris Sale? Because I was trying to make a team out of former Sox minor leaguers and/or current ones. Then the infield would be obviously be Abreu, Beckham, Alexei, Viciedo probably in the OF over Sweeney, etc.

Yea not one of Caulfield's best threads, although some people probably won't be surprised here.

Now that's a line up. 50 homers and 60 rbi's a possibility for Abreu there. EDIT: And why does Josh Paul have to be on the Sox? He did much more for us as an opponent than he ever did for us as a member of the team. Edited August 16, 201411 yr by Rowand44

In a time warp or black hole. Who's Jose Phegley? His Cuban cousin? No John Ely? Scott Eyre? Edited August 16, 201411 yr by caulfield12
August 16, 201411 yr Author QUOTE (raBBit @ Aug 16, 2014 -> 02:59 PM) The Phegley surname is actually an Americanized version of a Swiss/German name. So if he were in fact Josh Phegley's cousin, he would have to have gotten the Cuban heritage from his mother. It sure is crazy how Phegley went to SoxTalk darling to irrelevant in a short span. Is his hitting now a result of Charlotte's stadium? Either way, I don't think he's the answer at catcher. Could the Sox go a Martin/John Buck/Kurt Suzuki direction in the offseason? With Dunn coming off the books they might be able to spend. But that begs another question, is Wilkins a starter? It would be unlike Robin to insert Wilkins in a platoon like we saw Ozzie do in 2007 with Erstad/Mackowiak/Owens. Suzuki signed an extension with the Twins. Buck's done, pretty much. And Russell Martin will have 10-12 teams going after him, so it depends on the price and the fit.
August 16, 201411 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 16, 2014 -> 07:09 AM) Why don't you include Sale, Abreu, or Alexei? Or Q. He was a minor leaguer when he was stolen from the Yankees.
