No thanks

KAN's gonna be crowded at 1B with Zangari, Abbott, Villa, and Yurchak

Not fun for the holidays to imagine shedding our future

STL and CWS both in on Cole AND both finalists for Machado? Both trying to make it a 3-way deal?

QUOTE (fredmanrique @ Dec 24, 2017 -> 03:48 PM) I wonder if Hahn is sniffing around the situations the Yankees care about in an attempt to get Torres. We could take back part of the ellsbury contract, include prospects or abreu depending on the situation. for instance, the Yankees won't include Torres for Cole, but maybe they do for Cole and abreu if it also sheds Ellsbury. Abreu would be a heck of a dh on that team. pirates - Frazier, Chance and Spencer Adams sox - Torres, Ellsbury Yankees- Cole, Abreu it's a lot for one prospect and moves Anderson to center, but interesting No thanks

QUOTE (Lillian @ Dec 20, 2017 -> 12:21 PM) What gives you the "feeling" that Giolito was included? I really doubt that. BAL was looking for a deal similar to Shelby Miller and Tyrell Jenkins in '14

Not sure why but have a feeling all these offers were low Have a feeling Giolito and Adams were all that was offered (hate to lose Gio) Time for JR and Hahn to work on an offseason pitch

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 17, 2017 -> 12:32 PM) I'd say you're pretty close on this. Luis Robert got a 26M signing bonus and is currently ranked #23 on mlbs pipeline. Kemp should be worth about half of his remaining 42M. So we would be looking for a prospect who's value is around 20M, give or take. Probably won't get Verdugo ( ranked #24 ) but maybe Kemp + one of Alvarez/Kendall/Diaz gets it done. I like the idea of Lux. Add Caleb Ferguson to Lux and Kemp, and I'm in. Looks good to me The highest rated LAD prospect I can see involved would be OF Jeren Kendall (74 in baseball)

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Dec 17, 2017 -> 09:01 AM) This should be explored by the Sox. I don't understand why the Braves wouldn't have insisted on getting a prospect back. It doesn't make sense for one team to bail out another financially without getting prospects back. The Stanton trade was the same. Why would the Marlins not insist on one of the Yankees' top 5 prospects in addition to taking Castro's contract? Matt Kemp and Gavin Lux to the SouthSide?

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 16, 2017 -> 02:29 PM) No it's actually not because the Indians were always getting that pick. That was factored in. Here's the draft order. 1. Tigers 2. Giants 3. Phillies 4. White Sox 5. Reds 6. Mets 7. Padres 8. Braves 9. Athletics 10. Pirates 11. Orioles 12. Jays 13. Marlins 14. Mariners 15. Rangers 16. Rays 17. Angels 18. Royals 19. Twins 20. Twins 21. Brewers 22. Rockies 23. Yankees 24. Cubs 25. Diamondbacks 26. Red Sox 27. Nationals 28. Astros 29. Indians 30. Dodgers 31. Rays (Alex Cobb) 32. Royals (Eric Hosmer) 33. Royals (Lorenzo Cain) 34. Royals (Mike Moustakas) 35. Rockies (Greg Holland) 36. Indians (Carlos Santana) Competitive Balance Round A 37. Pirates 38. Rays (Comp, failure to sign Rasmusses) 39. Orioles 40. Padres 41. Diamondbacks 42. Royals 43. Indians 44. Rockies 45. Cardinals 2nd Round 46. Tigers 47. Giants 48. White Sox Give me HS SS Nander De Sedas (Or Turang) and Mount Carmel native/son of Sox trainer HS OF Alek Thomas HS blood that NH wants and makes sense

Jared Mitchell signs with CIN Really rooting for this kid to make it, could have been a star

Have a feeling Call is gonna have a great 2018 to put him back on the map, hopefully end up in AA

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Dec 16, 2017 -> 12:59 AM) I think Lucas can be Jon Garland. Still feel Gio has ace potential As does Kopech, Rodon, and Hansen so watch out

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 15, 2017 -> 10:14 AM) Yeah everyone seems to think these guys are going to come up and hit and pitch great right away. Giolito, Fulmer, Lopez ALL finished strong Anderson, Moncada, Delmonico ALL finished strong Add them to Abreu and Avi with Jiminez and Collins not far behind and I think this O will be entertaining CWS shouldn't compete this year but I think they'll overachieve and be fun to watch

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 15, 2017 -> 10:01 AM) This was a 95 loss team that has added Wellington Castillo. Fulmer won't be as good as he was his last 3 starts. Pretty good odds Giolitto won't be as good as his starts, considering his ERA in AAA was about 2 runs higher. They still suck. Many growing pains are still in store. Disagree Strongly...I think they continue making strides

Man I wish Robert was coming up with the current wave I still think he may be up in '19 at some point

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 15, 2017 -> 07:05 AM) That bullpen is going to blow a lot of games. That;ll be the glaring weak point CWS moved on from some talented guys last two years but hopefully spend on it next year

QUOTE (mac9001 @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 09:38 PM) Unless they spend $60 million on the bullpen and find a semi competent starter I'm betting on more losses in 2018 than 2017. As of right now Fulmer and Covey (maybe) are our 4th and 5th starters and James Shields is the staff ace. Short of Nate Jones nobody else in the bullpen deserves a major league job. Unless there's some serious cash thrown around this could be pretty ugly. I could easily see us running 10-15 different starting pitchers out there this year. Hard for me to agree with that I think both the rotation and lineup will be improved quite a bit from last year Bullpen is pretty gross Hoping CWS just brings in some fliers and let the kids play and calls it an offseason Focus on bringing in MM next year and maybe Cody Allen and another reliever or two

Happy CWS didn't lose anyone I like Tocci but bad fit, good he;s gone Wonder who Hahn wanted, Burdi and who Stunned Guerrero didn't go

QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 03:20 PM) Really curious what Hahn offered and where they stand Machado to SS, Anderson to CF would really look nice CF Anderson 2B Moncada SS Machado 1B Abreu RF Jimenez DH Garcia LF Delmonico C Castillo 3B Sanchez Oh my

Really curious what Hahn offered and where they stand Machado to SS, Anderson to CF would really look nice

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 13, 2017 -> 10:28 PM) I believe that rumored deal was proven to be BS. BS? Thought Stanton just wouldn't move his NTC

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 13, 2017 -> 10:22 PM) But the Giants do? That initial deal for Stanton looked pretty attractive SF also isn't rebuilding really

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 13, 2017 -> 10:18 PM) ? Why’s that? I’d prolly rank philly first. Don't feel like they have the prospects to move
