Everyone is talking about Longoria, they could trade for a ML ready prospect.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 13, 2015 -> 12:53 PM) Correct. And I was right, the music sucked and was too loud. Yeah a lot of simple things you could fix in the editing suite, my biggest issue with the doc was where they placed the narration in the mix, it sounded extremely muddled.

The Sox fan in me loved it, the film student in me thought that it could've been a lot better. The editing was weak, I could go on.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 13, 2015 -> 12:37 PM) No it wouldn't. Rather, if it was, Longoria would never be a Cub. Considering contracts, Soler could easily be a much more valuable player every year of his rookie contract. If the Cubs actually talked to the Rays I think the Rays would ultimately ask for Russell and the Cubs would counter with some mix of Baez/Almora/Voglebach/Johnson/McKinney. Regardless, it's probably best that TB keeps some sort of draw to the team so Longoria is more valuable to them that any other team. If their pitching falters they'll be looking at early 2000's type teams. I should note that I am very high on Soler so I might be seeing things different than others. I am very high on Soler too, really wish the Sox could've signed him. In regards to Longoria, the Sox don't have the prospects to trade for Longo and I think that it wouldn't be wise to do so. I do think that third base and catcher are the two weakest positions in the system however.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 12, 2015 -> 03:01 PM) If the White Sox FO made a top prospect list Keon Barnum would rank a lot higher on their's than he would on FutureSox's. Hopefully he keeps it up. It was a great pick in 2012 at the time, but he's hasnt met the expectations that hes been faced with but i donhope that he become something for the system

Robertson was disgusting out there, this win is definitely going to add some life to the team

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 01:46 PM) Since the choke job to end 2012, Ventura has struggled to get this team to play consistently well. Now that he has better talent, you can't let them fall too far behind without shaking things up. The Sox had no business even contending for a playoff spot in 2012 in my opinion, and the past two years things have been in rebuild mode and he has had some of the fewest talent at his disposal ever since he became the manager of the club. Even when in 2013 and 2013, Robin has showed his ability to put his players in a position to succeed, he just didn't have the horses to win the race (The 2014 Bullpen) and he has shown that he can develop some players along the way. This is a team that is still learning how to play together and their best player hasn't taken the field yet. So simmer down over there.

That is going to breathe some life into the stadium, just one way to beat the shift

bunt bunt bunt

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 01:40 PM) Ventura really needs to be on the hot seat. Also, I hate Notre Dame! Why after 4 games and 2 innings

Defense behind the plate is a weakness of the team

I still think the Sox are going to win the game, but things will be drastically different when Sale steps on the mound. That will bring a huge sigh of relief to everyone in the clubhouse. Everyone will raises their game. Nice strikeout by Jeff.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 01:25 PM) Avi...lol. He wouldn't have gotten there with a perfect route but hah. I don't like his glove in the outfield

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 01:13 PM) I am so annoyed by how not one of our pitchers can be quick to the plate. Yes, very irritating. All of the damage in the first four games has been self inflicted.

I think that LaRoache should be the primary First baseman to start the season at least, the team is better defensively when he's on the field, although Abreu has made some good plays to start the year.

My pick to click is the little man (eaton)

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 04:25 PM) If it was Robin's fault the team sucked the last 2 years, how do you look at Garenhire's last 4 years and say he is an upgrade? BRAVO

you guys should be ashamed of yourslves

I sense a brawl brewing between these two teams

I knew of Perez, everyone should follow Ylexander Villarroel from the DSL

Awesome

Loys of people overreacting, what a delightful surprise.

Ventura should be pissed

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 05:22 PM) How about a better point. Why is the f***ing announcer going into the managers office and making demands. The proper answer should of been GFY. Nice job getting Hosmer out by Jennings
