QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 10:02 AM) Better be getting robles especially if sox are eating robertson money too. Eh thought you were just talking about DRob, my mistake. Still highly doubtful that anything like that would happen.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 10:02 AM) Better be getting robles especially if sox are eating robertson money too. Shoot for the stars I guess.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 15, 2017 -> 08:25 PM) 2 run double for Micker. 2 new draft picks and a guy that basically re-became a prospect this year. Just a fun follow.

Bad day for Guerrero. Guess he was due for one.

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Jul 15, 2017 -> 08:03 PM) I don't necessarily think we can say that anymore with 100% certainty. We all thought they'd never go over-slot and get Robert and look how that turned out. QUOTE (Tony @ Jul 15, 2017 -> 08:08 PM) This is correct. Over the last year, we've seen a number of things very out of the ordinary from the Sox. I wouldn't rule anything out. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 15, 2017 -> 08:12 PM) With that pile of talent, all of whom will be cheap from 2019-2022, we are being dumb if we're not players after 2018. We could lose, prices could get out of the range that make sense for us based on the fact that we're probably not there in 2019...but that money is going to have to go somewhere. QUOTE (Tony @ Jul 15, 2017 -> 08:18 PM) And if the core develops like we all hope, the pressure will be on from the media and the fans to fill in the gaps with some big free agent additions. For the most part, Sox fans have bought into this rebuild, accept the plan and are willing to see it out. If the plan fails, the fans aren't going to be as accepting of another reset. Point is, they better make this rebuild count. That may include adding an big ticket item or two to surround the kids with. All of this.

The 3-4-5 in Kanny right now is just all of the fun.

No Jordan Bell jokes yet?

I'll believe it when it comes from a credible source but Ockimey definitely seems to be the type of guy they've been targeting as of late.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 11:18 PM) I'm thinking Moncada is called up and Sanchez/Saladino get some time at 3b That definitely could be too.

Maybe Davidson goes full time 3rd and Delmonico becomes the full time dh? Just throwing s*** out there.

Ryan McGuffey‏ @RyanMcGuffey 8m8 minutes ago More If the #WhiteSox can get the 14th best prospect from #RedSox for Frazier, makes a lot of sense. Frazier..GREAT guy, but perfect for winner

Got a whole year to recover during a season we're not trying to compete. It sucks but TJ isn't the worst thing in the world. Just get healthy and come back ready for 2019.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 02:28 AM) Not enough for gift wrapping the Cubs another World Series. Would have liked to see another top prospect rather than 3 fillers. Quality over quantity. Disappointed with the return. Would have rather kept Q until we saw what we have with the newest additions at the big league level before accepting this kind of return. I'm much more disappointed with this one than the returns for Sale or Eaton. Was thrilled with the Eaton return and mildly disappointed we couldn't pull Devers for Sale but thought his deal was just ok. Especially if you are giving him to the Cubs you've got to get a better deal than this. This is what hating the Cubs more than loving the White Sox looks like.

QUOTE (2005thxfrthmmrs @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 10:56 PM) Traded for $3.5M cash. This is a much better joke than mine.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 10:04 PM) Anyone know why Moncada got pulled in the 9th inning and Bueno had to finish his at bat? Traded for Quintana.

Moncada Kopech Eloy Robert Cease Gio Lopez Dunning Basabe Diaz Rose Flete For me.

And Charlie Tilson guys!!!!!!!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 08:47 PM) Not out of the question the best SS in the org is Leury (remember him before he vanished?) Hey I mentioned him somewhere in this thread!

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 08:43 PM) I think he'll be fine too. But if there's a position I'm fine hoarding it's SS. That's fair. Shortstop is shortstop, can always move those guys around.

I'll believe Anderson is a quality major league shortstop until he sucks next season. Dude is going to be fine imo.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 08:30 PM) I think we have more redundancy than that. They aren't as high profile yet but your Adolfo's / Skougs area other level and possible leaps from Gonzalez / Call / Fisher / Booker and you also have guys like Josue Guerrero. Right. And took out Anderson and didn't include Leury or Yolmer or Davidson and didn't include any of the 8 billion dollars we'll have to fill holes. Nobody knows what the future holds but there's plenty of offensive capability in this organization now.

Avi's going to have to show something the next few weeks until the deadline. With his history and the way his numbers were plummeting before the break, I don't think anyone is trading a top or even good prospect for him at the moment.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 08:07 PM) My experience was the exact opposite Ya, the consensus on this one is definitely that the Sox won it. Much like the Eaton deal, I love it from the Sox perspective but the team trading for our guy is getting a severely underrated player and asset on the national level.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 07:54 PM) Time to get moncada up. He has nothing much to gain against AAA hitting IMO. Not having a crazy year slash wise only solid, but he should start getting MLB seasoning IMO. Just to keep him hungry and to be around other pros in the Show. I'm positive if he didn't get hurt that slash line is a ton better but oh well. I agree, I don't think spending time in aaa does anything for him at this point.

There's plenty of bats(albeit a lot at the lower levels) in the system now. Add to that the emergence of a guy or two or three in the majors that have proven they can maybe be every day players and there's plenty of offensive capability to make this thing work.
