QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 7, 2017 -> 12:42 PM) Agreed. That was my biggest beef with those trades. Robo + Kahnle should get a haul. Soto + Kieboom ++ Tho, don't see anyway the Red Sox and Yanks would make those proposed deals. Hope you're right, I'd be ecstatic with Soto and Kieboom and a flier, maybe even more so than Robles I think the NYY is less likely than the BOS deal but both are iffy, I'd love that kid Fowler (even being severely hurt) and Tate has been sharp pitching low levels, not rated very high due to age likely BOS I'd like to get at least one Top 100ish prospect from, Groome is filthy but has off field issues that may point BOS to dealing him, Chavis is a pretty good prospect as well... I'd like Chavis and a flier or two

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Jul 7, 2017 -> 12:42 PM) As of August 1st, the White Sox will be renamed the White Knights with the arrival of 12 players from Charlotte. White Knights gear will be available till the end of the season. The increase in merchandise revenue will be given to the Charlotte AAA franchise which will be forced to cancel the rest of their season due to lack of players. I don't see the White Knights being very marketable on the South Side

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jul 7, 2017 -> 12:39 PM) Robertson + Kahnle should bring back more than Soto and a catching prospect who can't hit, especially when the Nationals are desperate. I'd insist on significantly more, and start the ask with Robles. Agreed, I'd continue to ask for Robles but I'd settle for Soto and a flier

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 7, 2017 -> 12:06 PM) What about a left-handed hitting Phillips? Braun is there through 2020 and Domingo Santana is going to hold down a spot. Plus, if they deal for Q and then next year guys on the team regress and they look to be an under .500 team, they have pieces to deal at the deadline, including Q, Braun, Thames etc. It's basically the Pirates scenario we all discussed in the off-season. I'm all for Phillips but he'd have to be the third piece in a deal for Q, criminally underrated Brinson, Ortiz, Phillips gets it done for me, maybe a flier

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jul 7, 2017 -> 12:25 PM) Uh.... he's ranked 101. Get sick when he's like a top 25 prospect. I've seen someone say he'll eventually be #1 as well, still hurts to lose him regardless

Quintana, Robertson, Frazier, and Melky look to be gaining the most interest so far as well as Swarzak and Kahnle Quintana to MIL for Brinson, Hader, Phillips, and Bickford/Kirby Robertson and Kahnle to WSH for Soto and Severino Frazier to BOS for Chavis/Groome, Cosart, and Callahan Melky and Swarzak to NYY for Fowler and Tate

Absolutely sickening seeing Tatis getting all this hype while Big Game James can't get out of the 4th

Quintana for either Brinson, Ortiz, Phillips, and Kirby OR Q for Ray, Hader, Woodruff, Phillips if we deal with MIL

So many good pitchers in this system, Hansen and Morrison should move up to WS ASAP while Lambert should soon follow Booker should be moved up soon as well but Zavala should gain more contact before moving up, his defense and power is interesting though

What does Holland get back?

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ May 20, 2017 -> 05:20 PM) Well, there's an open spot on the Kanny roster now. Wonder if Robert starts there. With the pitching depth the Sox have, trading Katz for bonus slots is a smart move. Don't think we'll see Robert with an affiliate for a few more weeks/months, but I do see him moving quickly Reasonable ETA on the South Side is Opening Day 2019

Sox $27.5M

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ May 19, 2017 -> 06:11 PM) Lol, demoting Barnum is such a waste. Dude needs his walking papers and a change of scenery. Bummer for Trey though. Was looking for him to improve upon his AA numbers from last year. Whoops. Barnum should be sent to Extended in my opinion, good to see him finally develop power but not much else, sucks this is how we get compensated for losing one of my favorite Sox ever, this 2012 class was a mess Huge fan of Trey (I've seen him live and spoken with him), great guy and undervalued fielder with tons of offensive potential but has just been struggling for so long, rooting for him

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ May 19, 2017 -> 06:30 PM) Good call. Maybe his demotion comes when he gets off the DL. Move Lassiter up to Birmingham in place of Hawkins. Not sure why this organization ever released Lassiter (He was released at the conclusion of ST and re-signed when an injury occurred), fairly hyped pick in 2015 and currently raking in a small high-a sample after being a SAL All-Star in 2016, I think he can make The Show maybe by the end of 2018 IF he continues this http://www.milb.com/player/index.jsp?playe...itting/2017/ALL

Once read Tatis would be the top pick this year if he was eligible, that one hurt And to be honest, he is doing real well right now AND is one of the youngest prospects on a full season team around the MiLB http://www.milb.com/player/index.jsp?playe...itting/2017/ALL Obviously losing him hurts bad and I truthfully do see WAY more star potential in him than Allen and Ravelo, or even Thompson That being said, Luis Robert is leaps and bounds better than him (Comparisons to Harper, Griffey, Puig, Jones), hopefully he pans out. I don't mind missing out on a few Adolfo's and Tatis's (Both of whom I optimistically think will be productive MLBers at the least) for a Super Star in Robert

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ May 15, 2017 -> 11:57 AM) Pretty sure they were after Moncada / Kopech / Devers. When DD wouldn't budge on Devers, they went with Basabe / Diaz. But I agree - Basabe should have been the 4th piece. Thought this as well, my thought is that Hahn thought he'd be a fast riser and decent MLBer sooner rather than later. I still think Diaz is a future big leaguer, just nothing special Maybe Devers will come here for Q and Todd with some friends

QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Apr 9, 2017 -> 10:50 AM) Breakout Hitter: SS Cleuluis Rondon/ KAN RF Micker Adolfo Breakout Pitcher: KAN RHP Yosmer Solorzano 6.0 IP, 6 hits, 1 ER, 2 BB, 9 K for Solorzano today

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 9, 2017 -> 02:26 PM) I am not sure on him either, but he's a guy I've spoken with before and can ask. Please do so

Breakout Hitter: SS Cleuluis Rondon/ KAN RF Micker Adolfo Breakout Pitcher: KAN RHP Yosmer Solorzano

Upcoming UFAs: C Geovany Soto (off to hot start, returns low level prospect or 2), 3B Todd Frazier (big time power bat with small market already, returns 2-3 Top 15 Org. prospects depending on performance), LF Melky Cabrera (Very solid OF that any contender could use, could return 2 solid prospects), P Derek Holland (could net small return if he performs well this spring), P Miguel Gonzalez (had small interest last year, could net 1-2 smaller prospects) Note: NONE of the players listed above should be brought back in '18 and should be dealt for any value they can net These deals create room for prospects C Kevan Smith, 3B Nicky Delmonico, OF Jacob May/Charlie Tilson/Adam Engel, and Ps Carson Fulmer/Reynaldo Lopez to be called up in July/August Controlled Players with Growing Markets (Higher returns): In order of likelihood to be dealt: P Jose Quintana (Controlled through 2020, one of bigger names on trading block currently, can net a package in between what Sale-Eaton got), P David Robertson (Controlled through 2018, bound to have growing market, can net 2 Top 10 Org. prospects), P Nate Jones (Controlled through 2021, one of MLB's most underrated relievers), P Zach Putnam (Controlled through 2019), 1B Jose Abreu (Controlled through 2019, unlikely to be dealt, wants to retire with Sox) Players Who Should be Dealt When They Create ANY Value: P James Shields (self explanatory)

QUOTE (MnSoxFan @ Apr 8, 2017 -> 08:10 PM) How about Mike Horejsei? I did not see him on Kanny roster, expected to. Was also wondering that, any other names we don't see unexpectedly? I know in TEX's system Frank Lopez is MIA as well, Mario Hollands for PHI too, all in Extended?

Anyone have any idea where Jack Charleston is? Solid reliever

Least favorite Sox player ever..with ease Originally loved the acquisition and then his asshole/overly hyper personality was displayed to me...I've now heard AJ, Ozzie, and Griffey had issues with him

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Nov 11, 2016 -> 07:43 PM) Not sure if this was mentioned yet, but Joey DiMichele won the Rawlings Gold Glove for 2B among ALL minor leaguers. That's damn impressive. https://twitter.com/johnmanuelba/status/797236213803585536 I recall him doing this in either '14 or '15 too, wish his bat was up to par
