Personal Top 5 wants for the 2018 Draft
ChiSoxJon replied to KnightsOnMintSt's topic in FutureSox Board
Hahn said he's eyeing NCAA pitching or HS IF early I assume that means Brady Singer, Nander De Sedas, Brice Turang, and Nolan Gorman are all on the radar Give me De Sedas One prospect I do love is Hankins, pure filth -
Sox expecting to open '18 with both Avi and Abreu

QUOTE (Quin @ Jan 29, 2018 -> 03:28 PM) If you put the '05 Sox against any team since 2000 in the playoffs, I take them against anyone except for maybe last year's Astros. Take them over anyone Pure dominance, so clutch, WINNERS -
Absolutely sickening, everyday a new headline makes me ill

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 28, 2018 -> 10:01 PM) Extremely rare feat of best team in the AL wire to wire and tied the best playoff record ever. I don't know how you don't include them in the top 10 to be honest. Sickening NY bias -
QUOTE (GenericUserName @ Jan 25, 2018 -> 11:58 PM) Has anyone heard of one of our international signings named Camilo Quinteiro? I was looking through the White Sox transaction page and I saw his name but it didn't sound familiar at all. His MLB.com page says he is a 20 year old SS, but I can't find any other information about this guy existing. There is a SS/2B from Cuba named Camilo Quintero (so a one letter difference) who is about the right age and played on the same national teams as Luis Robert when the were younger, so I'm wondering if we signed him as a favor to Robert. I would actually be pretty happy if we did that because a lot of the guys from those teams are now highly regarded prospects, but I can't find anything on Quintero after 2014, so I don't know if he developed or stopped playing. He was also on the same team as Victor Mesa Jr., who is probably one of the last two elite prospects left in Cuba along with Yoelkis Cespedes. Seems as if the one the Sox signed is Dominican

Will winning so many World Series eventually get lame?
ChiSoxJon replied to Jerksticks's topic in Pale Hose Talk
QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Jan 25, 2018 -> 02:16 PM) Still the cameras, still the illegal signal stealing (yes, there is legal signal stealing, and yes, the difference between doing it legally and doing it illegally is huge), still Ernie Adams. These things never changed, and anyone who thinks they did based on the Spygate cover-up and subsequent "punishment" (laughable to call it that, who wouldn't trade a couple first round picks and a couple million dollars of fines split between 4 people for five world championships officially recognized and sanctioned by the league as legitimate?) is naive or willfully ignorant. Seems like a nice blueprint for 31 other teams to emulate... :lol: :lol: :lol: -

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Jan 25, 2018 -> 11:21 AM) Whataboutism doesn't excuse that the Patriots cheated (and probably still do given that McDaniels got caught doing it with Denver and Ernie Adams is still on New England's payroll) by stealing other teams signals (and by extension, playcalls) by illegally filming them on the sidelines. If you can't understand the difference between attempting to steal signals on the sideline while live action happens, and filming those signals, sending them to someone (Ernie Adams) to be analyzed and deciphered, and having the person who analyzes and deciphers the signals have a direct line to the head coach on gamedays, then you don't really understand the point of competition or rules. And New England paid for the crime...now over a decade later what's the excuse for success? First it was "deflated" balls, what's next? These ridiculous suspensions and penalties are the NFL's way of further balancing the competition I suppose and they haven't been very successful -

QUOTE (35thstreetswarm @ Jan 25, 2018 -> 10:57 AM) That's right -- I always forget about the fact that there were actually MULTIPLE cheating scandals. It's pretty rare not just to cheat in multiple ways, but to get caught, and get punished, for multiple incidents - that's some Sammy Sosa level isht Belichick's Patriots did in fact break the rules of the NFL as represented in "Spygate", but took the fall for the entire league DeflateGate is a bunch of BS...A ball weighs less in s*** weather so the league spends $50M to investigate air pressure and then suspends the quarterback, like what the f*** -

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Jan 24, 2018 -> 04:29 PM) I guess cheating is a timeless philosophy, isn't it? Good one http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/news/cowhe...wx11ugttnkmfx2s https://www.si.com/nfl/2016/10/04/tom-brady...e-ideal-gas-law How about when Elway's Broncos went over the Cap routinely? Or when Tomlin tripped up Jacoby Jones? Jerry Rice using illegal gloves? Falcons pumping in fake crowd noise? Everyone tries to get an edge, few are successful -

QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Jan 24, 2018 -> 04:08 PM) As a Pats fan, we won't have to worry about this The success of the Patriots starts at the top with top level ownership in Kraft (not JR), and goes down to the timeless philosophy designed by Belichick This is something we'll never see in sports again Appreciate it while you can I should also probably say winning doesn't get lame, however it is expected and becomes casual A 12-4 season and AFCCG appearance is a guarantee as a Pats fan Higher standards -

QUOTE (KnightsOnMintSt @ Jan 17, 2018 -> 09:33 AM) That would be amazing. Funny thing is, we really have no idea what his ceiling is for this season. Can't rule it out Puig was in a similar situation a flew through the minors

Realistic expectations for Gavin Sheets?
ChiSoxJon replied to KnightsOnMintSt's topic in FutureSox Board
I remember he got a real nice comparison on Draft day Burger was compared to Millar -
QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jan 16, 2018 -> 09:31 PM) Excited to hear that Sheets is regularly getting loft on the ball and the source isn’t Merkin. Poor Sheets gets no attention with being overshadowed in such a deep system

QUOTE (KnightsOnMintSt @ Jan 5, 2018 -> 11:15 AM) Would love to see Jake Burger make the jump at some point this season to Birmingham. He came out blazing to begin his pro career, and cooled off a little bit as the season ended. Hopefully he starts in WS and makes the jump to Birmingham during the season. Seems as if he's really been working hard this off-season. Likely will happen by the end of season

2018 better or another chase for the first overall pick?
ChiSoxJon replied to Dominikk85's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Definitely think better, but hopefully still s***ty enough for a top 10 pick Best case scenario CWS competes for a WC in a rebuilding year -
Burger and Delmonico have spent 90% of their offseason in Arizona taking swings and working out Expect big things from both of them A bunch of Sox prospects seem to be workout nuts, not sure if it just seems more so now with the climb of social media or these kids give more of a f*** than the previous prospects but it makes me happy to see Even last year it seemed the only Sox putting in work was Avi
