Greg if I sprained my pinky I think you'd tell me I'm probably going to die.

OPS back over .800. wRC+ 127. The pitchers have now forgotten that they figured Jose out.

Alec has a no no through 5.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 30, 2017 -> 12:35 PM) He's immature. He's starting a day game. If he partied last night, he's not ready for AA at his age. I'm not commenting on this any more than that. If you disagree, feel free. So being at high A would have kept him from partying? Ok.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 30, 2017 -> 12:30 PM) Some twitter chatter about him being on social media at 2am on his 21st birthday. Should have began at Winston-Salem. Who cares. And why?

Kopech scratched with a mild ankle sprain. He'll make his next start.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 30, 2017 -> 10:37 AM) Lopez, Kopech, & Hansen all starting today. What a boring day.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Apr 29, 2017 -> 06:57 PM) Isn't that a potentially career ending injury? Not in this day and age. QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 29, 2017 -> 07:16 PM) And that's why players accept these team friendly deals. Spot on.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Apr 29, 2017 -> 03:43 AM) About those people last year who said managers don't matter and are irrelevant...........Ready to eat your crow yet or do I have to go digging to name and shame you If we're going by April records the last 2 seasons Robin > Renteria.

Only facts in this thread.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 28, 2017 -> 09:37 PM) WHO IS THIS GUY??????? Why that's Tommy Kahnle, the best pitcher in baseball.

QUOTE (Tony @ Apr 28, 2017 -> 07:34 PM) If you went all in on Mitch, and clearly Pace did, it's only smart to put the best pieces around him. And punt next year... Like I said earlier, I don't have a strong opinion either way on Tribusky but if anything Pace definitely has a plan. Now you Bears fans get to wait and see.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 28, 2017 -> 04:07 PM) Again, I would give him a break. It's a chat, someone is asking trade value, and he's talking about a 100 mph right hander who is striking everyone out with fastballs, and Chapman was traded at the deadline last year. He's not creating a draft comp for the guy. Right. It was definitely a bit tongue in cheek just to say how awesome Kahnle has been so far.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Apr 28, 2017 -> 04:04 PM) I would as well Seems unnecessary for him to have two drivers, guys.

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Apr 28, 2017 -> 02:32 PM) FutureSox‏ @FutureSox Roster moves: RHP Ian Hamilton promoted to AA Birmingham. RHP Dane Dunning promoted to A+ Winston-Salem. RHP El'Hajj Muhammad Released. didn't see this posted anywhere, if it was I apologize. I created a new thread for the Dunning promotion. I think it's worthy of it.

Something we all expected to happen soon happened today. Congrats to Dane, hope he keeps dominating!

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 28, 2017 -> 02:10 PM) Yeah, no. He would be a first rounder in every draft. My reasoning: every previous NFL Draft. Ya, I don't think there's any doubt about that.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 28, 2017 -> 12:00 PM) Didn't we trade for him? Says we picked him up after DFA We did.

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 28, 2017 -> 10:38 AM) Why? Its true. I dont think this is a case that there was no price to large for Pace to trade spots as some have assumed. We arent talking as if he gave up future number 1-2's to get there. Yes, third round picks can really valuable but you can also find ways to obtain some yourself. Not something you can really do if you would have traded a 1-2nd rounder. Can we at least let the draft play out before we jump off the bridge? (not speaking about you rowand) Because in general that statement can be true for just about any pick or any trade. To me it's just a lazy statement to try and get your point across. And like I said I'm not a Bears fan so I personally don't care either way, I just don't like that kind of logic.

COOP FIXED HIM

QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 28, 2017 -> 10:11 AM) Ugh I can honestly say I hate the line of thinking on number 9 there. But you're going to be hearing it until the season starts.

Ya I've heard one of the biggest pluses with Trubisky was his accuracy so not sure why Gruden thinks that.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 28, 2017 -> 09:41 AM) I like this format. I know Spencer getting 10ks kind of catches him up, but surprised to see his k/9 not that far off from Fulmer. I haven't seen him pitch this year yet or dove too deeply into his numbers but supposedly Fulmer has been racking up the ground balls.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 28, 2017 -> 09:37 AM) I don't like having to lose picks to get him, just wondering if there's something beyond the experience. Everything on him I saw/read was positive except for "how did he lose out twice to start in college" Lack of familiarity for most people probably. It's a little different obviously but every time an NBA team drafts a guy from overseas it's almost always hated by the fan base.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 28, 2017 -> 09:13 AM) Ryan Pace has picked his nose. Scrolling through real quick this is how I initially read this post.
