QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jul 7, 2017 -> 04:23 PM) I think the Braves could put together an excellent package considering how stupidly deep their farm system is. Braves could offer something along the lines of: Pick one: Albies, Acuna or Maitan Pick one: Newcomb, Allard, Soroka, Anderson, Gohara, Wright Pick one/two: Demeritte, Fried, Toussaint, Riley, Wentz, Sims, Pache, Minter, Jackson, Wilson, Muller, Morris I envy the depth that they have across the board. Some combination of 3-4 prospects from the above could serve as a framework for a deal. For example: Albies + Soroka + Pache + Minter/Morris? A costly deal? Yes, but the Braves actually have so much depth that they could afford it. The Atlanta GM is smarter than you think he is.

I saw the Tampa/Bosox game last night. Bogaerts got hit by pitch in right wrist in first inning and was taken out. Lin moved to Shortstop from third Base. I immediately thought that Frazier's trade value went up. Later I read that they are looking at Prado.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 5, 2017 -> 04:49 PM) Dan Hayes‏Verified account @CSNHayes 9m9 minutes ago Matt Davidson's 18 HRs tied w/ R. Kittle (1983), C. May (1969) & Z. Bonura (1934) for 2nd-most in Sox history before ASG. Abreu's 29 is 1st. I remember Zeke.

QUOTE (zisk @ Jul 5, 2017 -> 08:13 AM) It looks like Todd and Melky are getting heated up at the right time. Odds of either being moved soon? What type of return to expect and will their departure help the "tank for Beer" quest? What have you heard?

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 5, 2017 -> 09:37 AM) I 100% agree and his numbers are still negatively impacted by a low BABIP and not having a real spring training. Frazier is actually a pretty good player still, just can be frustrating to watch at times. I think if Moustakas is off the market, Frazier should net a decent return. And Boston is my predicted landing spot. Disagree. Boston really likes their rookie Lin at third. Solid minor league history of hitting, and he has done really well since call up. They should stick with him.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 4, 2017 -> 11:31 PM) Teams were 0-7 yesterday; 1-6 today. Thank You, Voyagers, for ending the streak. Still Top 3-5?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 4, 2017 -> 09:40 PM) Why do you guys support this front office this much? This is about Shields and how bad he is. You trust the rebuild to guys who think Shields was a smart investment? Why is the media so kind to Hahn? Not to mention The Owner. Jeez, he gave away $20 Million + for Shields (who was hurt at the time) and gave up a kid that they had just paid a nice bonus. You could almost, almost justify a trade between Shields and Eric Johnson. Then Preller said Rick, why don't you just toss in one ofd your prospects. Tatis will do. Rick: Okay, why not.

QUOTE (PolishPrince34 @ Jul 4, 2017 -> 10:33 AM) Fernando Tatis Jr. tearing it up as an 18 year in Low A ball. This trade might go down as the worst in White Sox history. 274/.362/.462 12 hrs/14 Sb WRC-131 Since April 21 .300/.391/.511 WRC-152 Scouts are raving about his elite skills and saw one person make a comp to Manny Machado. I know he was 17 years old at the time, but makes me scratch my head to why they included him in the Shields deal. What a mistake!!!!! Part of the re-build.

If Saladino had a herniated disc, he won't be ready.

QUOTE (Tannerfan @ Jul 3, 2017 -> 09:42 PM) Down goes Frazier! Down goes Frazier! He loses his headgear a lot when he swings and misses.

QUOTE (Tannerfan @ Jul 3, 2017 -> 09:38 PM) I hate to admit it but I've been watching baseball for over fourty years, and I still don't understand the balk. That one was not obvious. When I was a kid, there were, I think, 14 ways to commit a balk. Not sure now.

Semien still on DL for Oakland. Been a long time.

QUOTE (ecupittfan @ Jul 3, 2017 -> 12:56 PM) How could that be? Michael Moore, Oliver Stone and Sean Penn said Venezuela and Hugo Chavez were a modern day utopia. And a paragon for Socialism.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 3, 2017 -> 03:07 AM) Kid gonna have some pressure on him. Chris Sale has been EASILY the best pitcher in baseball. Pressure and baseball go together. Or, are you hinting that there would be less pressure if Sox had gotten more for Sale?

Has he earned a call up? He has nothing but solid numbers since he went down to Charlotte.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 1, 2017 -> 09:07 PM) His ability to take walks is a major, plus-plus tool that ought not be ignored. Will that same skill be utilized at higher levels? Don't you think he will be challenged more by pitchers if and when he gets to AA? If he were hitting .300 instead of .200, with power, then you have a point.

What kind of deal can Melky get for himself next year? Just wondering.

Ynoa is consistent. Rick Hahn's boy. The guy he insisted that Oakland give us along with Shark.

What happened to Curbelo?

Three sacrifices by our AZ team. New strategy?

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jun 30, 2017 -> 02:47 PM) With the cushion of 9.5 games in the nl east the nats do not have to rush a move. They certainly will need to upgrade the bullpen via trade by the deadline though. Their mindset is why buy now when there might be more options in a month? Dusty cant take too many more 9th inning blown saves.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jun 29, 2017 -> 10:08 AM) He is getting paid $14M this year........if you claim him, you're responsible for the pro-rated portion, or a little over $7M. I'd much rather Jerry eat money in trades for better prospects than claiming Montero. Partially true. IF, I sad IF any team wanted Montero but did not want to pay $7 million left on contract, they could work out a deal with Cubs. Obviously, it's not gonna happen here, nor should it.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jun 29, 2017 -> 10:08 PM) ruptured right patella tendon for fowler, if you can believe it I actually ruptured BOTH mine at the same time. That's an awful injury, way worse than ACL, I knew it when he did it, same mechanism as mine. Usually tho you're 30 lbs overweight and in your 30s and male and a weekend warrior when you do it though, not a 20 something pro athlete. FWIW I am 100% back 2.75 years in. Maybe a bit slower cutting on the tennis court and I don't play basketball anymore, but I hike (with weight loss and smarter weight training) and do everything I used to just as well. That said, it's great he's having surgery tonight, the sooner you do the repair the sooner you get back and the less scar tissue you deal with. He'll be back. He'll get PRT as well. Victur Cruz, Jimmy Graham also had the injury and Richards on the Angels. Cruz struggled to return, Graham and Richards have done well coming back. Chitown, how did you do both patellas at same time? How long was rehab?

QUOTE (Anderdale @ Jun 29, 2017 -> 12:06 PM) Interesting to me that he was chosen to play in the futures game. Has to be solely because of his defense. Maybe there are very few catching prospects.

How much are top prospects likely to get July 2nd?
