The Cubs claimed Hamels for the slight chance that Philly just gives them the contract in my opinion. Probably not going to happen but it's worth a shot. The Cubs will not be giving up top 10 prospects in the org in my opinion though in order to pay Hamels $100 million. They'll pay him the $$. They aren't going to give prospects and pay the $$ though. So Hamels will not be a Cub. Ruben Amaro is the worst GM in baseball though.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 7, 2014 -> 09:56 AM) General thoughts right now. Too high: Spencer Adams- Top 5 is a stretch for me for a high schooler in front of guys putting up some gaudy minor league stats. Francellis Montas- We only have ten starts to go by when it comes to being impressed. Matt Davidson- With so many guys having great seasons I wouldn't have been surprised to see him at ten or lower Micker Adolfo- Maybe not too high, maybe not too low but right now he's a crap shoot prospect who hasn't done anything in limited time. Cleulius Rondon- He will never make the majors with his current bat. He makes way too many errors as well for supposedly being a plus glove. I know MiL errors don't matter much but when it's you're one tool you better be Rey Ordonez. Too low: Tyler Danish- the second best pitching prospect in my mind with how he's dominated every level at his age aside from a 10 inning adjustment. Carlos Sanchez- Seems like a very high floor player. Hope we see him again soon. Trey Michalczewski- . I think he's a top 10 prospect now Kevin Smith- A catcher destroying the ball and can be up by next year? Sign me up. Nice to see Jace Fry in there as well. Really think he's going to be a good one for us. First of all, everyone I have talked to has said that Rondon's defense is so good that he will be a big leaguer if he hits over the Mendoza Line. Rondon is in the perfect spot. You also need to not scout the stat line at times and weigh production against skills and promise. Adolfo can be a superstar therefore he is ranked where he is. Davidson is having a terrible year but will still end the year with 20+ homers at 3B with a good BB%. Spencer Adams and Francellis Montas both project as front of the rotation starters (#2 probably). If the Sox were picking in the 20's this year and took Adams in round 1, he'd be a top 5 prospect in the system, therefore he still should be. I am a fan of Danish and Michalczewski as well. Overall, I think the list was very fair and well done.

Winston-Salem Dash ‏@WSDashBaseball 16m A huge congrats to Joey DeMichele on his first career promotion to Double-A @BhamBarons! The Dash's roster is now at 24. #VoteBoltDash

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 5, 2014 -> 07:31 PM) The thing is the Bulls are filled with ?'s too and not just talking about Derrick's health. The Cavs to me are the favorite in the east with Love. The Bulls being their one competitor and the rest of the east is irrelevant as far as actually winning the conference goes. Lebron is the best defender in the league in my opinion but Cleveland will be a really bad defensive team after the Love deal.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Aug 4, 2014 -> 09:59 PM) Martinez has the most potential for pitching prospect outside of the big 4. Pretty soon you may be talking about him with those guys. Rodon, Adams, Danish, Montas, and Martinez is nice though.

This was tweeted earlier: FutureSox.com ‏@FutureSox 5h Luis Martinez is making his @gfvoyagers debut tonight after 40 SO/16 BB in 33 IP in AZL. He signed for $250k in 2012. One to watch #WhiteSox He has a shutout so far....

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 4, 2014 -> 08:33 PM) Jake Peter goes yard. Meanwhile, the sky is blue... Great Falls Voyagers ‏@gfvoyagers 1m Great Falls adds 4 in the 3rd on a 3R 3B from @JWPeezy4 and an RBI 1B from @PatrickPalmeiro! 5-0 Voyagers after 3. That's Jake Peter by the way. Kid is tearing it up.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 4, 2014 -> 07:30 PM) Ugh god I hate how everything works out for Lebron. Marion visiting Cleveland despite only min being offered. There are tons of unsubstantiated rumors on twitter about him signing with the Bulls as well.

Rodon's stuff looks sensational in the little bit I have seen so far. He also looks like a badass on the mound. He strikes guys out and just stares them down at times it seems. It can turn some people off but he's going to be so fun to have in the organization. Below is some video taken by Josh Norris and an article by Dan Hayes with quotes from Nick Capra. http://www.csnchicago.com/white-sox/white-...-exciting-watch

QUOTE (oldsox @ Aug 4, 2014 -> 07:52 PM) Wilkins, for openers. Trayce Thompson I think, right?

Abreu because he's a position player and therefore plays every day.

Does anyone think Pedro Alvarez could be had in the offseason? He has struggled at 3B recently because he has basically forgotten how to throw and he can't get past it. I'd love Alvarez as the full-time DH.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 4, 2014 -> 05:06 PM) It's nice to see the Cubs have decided to give a s*** about their fans and just try to put one of the organization's better players on the field. I mean, it's not nice because f*** the Cubs, but I wouldn't mind as a fan of theirs that they made this decision without considering the Super 2 bulls***. Ehh. I bet he signs a below market extension. Soler is already signed. The only one that won't be doing that is Bryant with Boras as his agent.

LOL if the White Sox had Baez, everyone on the board would love him. This Cubs thread on the WhiteSox message board is a real treat on a bad day sometimes.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 10:20 PM) Adams 5.0 IP, 4H, 0R, 0BB, 9K 40 strikeouts and 2 walks in 27.2 IP. Ridic. I loved the Spencer Adams pick at the time and I love it still. Any chance he will get promoted to Great Falls soon?

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 09:34 AM) Possible, yes, but extremely unlikely. All involved players would have to clear waivers, or be included as a PTBNL. Danks is likely to clear waivers, but we don't really know what other teams and players were involved in the deal. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/writer/jon-he...still-be-traded

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 08:05 PM) Anyone mention James Loney? That's who I always envision Ravelo as if he sticks/makes it to the bigs. Loney is a great Defensive 1B. I brought up Nick Johnson and somebody else brought up Casey Kotchman. Daric Barton played for a long time for Oakland without much power.

QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 06:40 PM) Callis gives 5 extra prospects in addition to hit top 20, still no Ravelo: http://jimcallis.mlblogs.com/2014/08/01/bo...ts-nos-21-25-2/ Man, I've always liked Callis but it's such an awful list with no Ravelo or Rondon. Just bad.

Mark D. Robertson ‏@GFTrib_MRob 18h Two roster moves from the #Voyagers today, LHP Chris Freudenberg promoted to Kannapolis, RHP Luis Martinez promoted from AZL. #mtscores So Chris Freudenberg to Kanny Luis Martinez to Great Falls.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 05:50 PM) I'd be curious to see what details he has here? Teams? Player? Could this be revisited in the off season? Hahn was on 670 this morning and said that it was for a long targeted player. He also said that it "could" be revisited in the offseason. I'm going with Yasmani Grandal. He was in the lineup and warming up and then was scratched for no reason. Sox have been interested in the past.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 02:03 PM) Milone for Fuld.... De Aza couldn't be traded for him? Fuld is a better player than De Aza. Fuld has an bop of .370 and plays great defense.
