QUOTE (Lillian @ Apr 20, 2015 -> 04:55 AM) The reason to make the change is based more on the way Sanchez is performing, than it is on Johnson's slow start. I'm especially intrigued by the idea of having Carlos hit second, which is a much more valuable spot in the lineup, than 9TH. You bat your best hitter second (or third of you're not familiar with that sabremetric school of thought), Carlos Sanchez is not the team's best hitter.

While Johnson has looked............ awkward at times, I think that he's doing a good job defensively. Plus he's been having some solid at bats, going deep into the count and seeing a lot of pitches, which is HUGE, especially for a #9 hitter.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 18, 2015 -> 05:43 PM) After doing about 6 of these, I'd love to hear some suggestions as we keep going. We've already discussed guests, so that's a real possibility. Any other general requests? For guest, i would love to hear from Marco Paddy, Nick Capra amongst others.

Hey guys, While I am an aspiring MLB Scout during the night, during the day I am a student and a filmmaker, I'm studying film right now and in a couple years I will be moving to LA to pursue that dream. I recently co-funded a production company called Brave Eye Films and we're based in Chicago. We're currently working hard on our first project called Honey and is a miniseries. The synopsis is as follows: "In the dark and twisted world of underground crime, tomorrow isnever guaranteed. While the big families think they run the scene, the idea of ethics comes is hard to come by, but this is what sets HONEY, a veteran hitman, apart from his corrupt peers. Working out of a garage during the day under the watchful eye of his mentor, Evelyn, a woman that was forced to work her way up the ranks of the underground crime syndicate. Together, Honey and Evelyn form the deadliest pairing in all of organized crime. When Honey is tasked with taking out the head of a rival operation, who has been distributing a new drug through the city’s club scene, he comes across the legend of El Padre, an urban legend from Argentina that has creeped into the minds of police officers and criminals everywhere, events are set into motion that can never be reversed." We were able to secure a veteran, professional crew for this project. Some of them have worked with people like David Fincher and some have worked on Super Bowl ads. We're getting ready to cast and we're about to hire a producer sometime this week. And the Chromatics (A very popular indie band, who is reponsible for some of the music in Drive) have agreed to let us use some of their songs in Honey. We just started a Facebook page: www.facebook.com/braveeyefilms So please like on Facebook and I'll keep you posted on what's happening with Honey and if some of you his who live in the city want to be extras or visit the set, I'll let you know. Best, Joshua

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 19, 2015 -> 05:35 PM) Anybody think Quintana will be heading to the DL? Or Noesi? None of them, in regards to Quintana is a mentality thing, he needs to stop being cute and throw strikes.

I would have waited the 10/11 days and bring him up in May, but hard not to get excited. Hopefully the Sox can clear a spot in the rotation for him in due time.

Quintana needs to stop being so passive on the mound. He's slow to the plate, and he's trying to paint thee corners it seems. He needs to work faster and throw strikes.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Apr 16, 2015 -> 05:29 PM) Yeah, you guys are terrific with the info. The highest picks in two years of Hahn are Anderson, Danish, Rodon and Adams. That's a good group , imo, so I'm going to have faith that this year will also be satisfactory, despite the lost picks andregardless of my first impression on Draft Day. Thank you

QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Apr 18, 2015 -> 09:29 AM) I agree with you on Cameron, he's a young, raw HS project OFer, one we don't need, Matuella and Aiken will almost definitely fall out of the first round, and I'm glad you mentioned those catchers, this syetem is lacking a top notch legitimate prospective C Im still high on Cameron, but I would like to see the team start invest heavily into the catching position both in the amateur draft and in international free agency

That's one way to beat the shift!

This team is way to aggressive at the plays, they're not taking pitches or grinding out at bats. Guys are singing at the first pitch and singing at balls out of the zone.

QUOTE (Bruce_Blixton @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 06:32 PM) Well... Good job

QUOTE (Bruce_Blixton @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 02:12 PM) I'm not an expert with the draft allocations but with the rash of injuries to the top of the draft it's feasible that the Sox could draft one of the injured prospects for a modest discount of $500k or so and use that to throw at a higher ceiling prep position player in the later rounds. I'm sure it's not likely but there are scenarios where it could happen. No

Even though they lost, this was a great game and both teams played well enough to win. Hopefully the players can build off this put up this kind of effort everyday from here on out.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Apr 16, 2015 -> 04:13 PM) I'd call up Rodon ASAP after tomorrow's deadline and put Danks in the Scott Carroll 2014 role, Noesi is probably the better pitcher now. Though I would've done something like claim Wandy Rodriguez for 5th starter. Thus destroying whatever trade value that he has

Franklin Reyes played in the All American game as a 14 year old. Here's is the All American's game bio on him: Franklin Reyes OF 6’4 190lb R/R DOB 9-11-98 San Cristobal, DR Franklin is trained by Basilio Vizcaino. His brother Franmil is a UAAA alumni now playing in the San Diego Padres system. Franklin is physically impressive with XXL frame and wiry muscular tone. He’s a prototypical RF’er possessing plus raw power, hit ability and plus arm strength. http://dplbaseball.com/dpl-news/reyes-and-...l-america-game/ He was also featured in a BA article, I don't subscribe but to those that do: http://www.baseballamerica.com/internation...franklin-reyes/

Going to listen to it on the ride home

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 08:12 PM) Yet not many changes have been made. Still not sure how Buddy Bell hasn't been replaced yet. They did promote Jeremy Harber to assistant GM, an title he shares with Buddy Bell, but he comes from an analytics and financial background. I do want to want to see Bell replaced, he has done nothing for the system.

Indiana prep RHP Ashe Russell was up to 97 mph yesterday and the stuff was crisp, like his better moments last summer. - Kiley McDaniel

Danks pitched good enough to win the game, the offense let him down BIG TIME.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 12:30 PM) Here is McDaniel's detailed update: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-interna...-market-part-1/ Says that the White Sox are believed to have an agreement with 6'3 235 pound RF Franklin Reyes for $1.4 million. Looks like the Cubs will be extremely active again. I wish the White Sox would use the same strategy. That's leaves the sox with $2,043,000 to spend in the international market, they can still trade for an additional $1,721,500.

I like it, just get him to shorten the swing a bit, but I do agree with Kiley in that he is a future first baseman

Not going to win a lot of games when the team won't take it's walks, the Sox have 7 walks so far and that's last in the league according to Hawk.
