QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 22, 2017 -> 02:06 PM) The Cubs and Astros had everything that could go wrong go right. Everything. I am kind of upset the statniks are out there supporting the alleged snails pace rebuild. Their enjoyment of the so called rebuild takes our miserable front office (KW) off the hook for being unable to put together a division title contending team despite the presence of a handful of incredibly good players on the roster year after year. They wasted my time and yours with Robin at the helm for gawd sakes. TOTAL WASTE OF YEARS. We've had great closers. We've had Sale. We've had Abreu. We've had a decent to good nucleus that with the proper tinkering could have given us nirvana baseball the past 10 years. But nooooo. Oh well I can dream of Ozzie and the 05 team as I wait on this rebuild. p.s. Fulmer and Rodon better be great or the alleged rebuild takes a hit early on. The bolded makes me laugh every time I see it on one of your posts. Does this come custom fitted or is it adjustable?

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 22, 2017 -> 02:04 PM) Powerhouse? The cubs are barely a .500 team. /green Yes currently they are, but I believe that they're referring to them winning the World Series last year (in case you forgot), making a deep run in 2015 when the expectations weren't that high at all. They still have a very talented roster but have played very poorly (World Series hangover or whatever you want to call it). Damn just noticed the /green, you got me!

Hudson Belinsky @hudsonbelinsky 11s 2nd round pick Gavin Sheets signs with #WhiteSox for $2M. Slot for pick 49 was $1,392,200. Huge power bat: baseballamerica.com/college/see-wa… Flavum first

Jim Callis @jimcallisMLB 1st-rder Jake Burger agrees w/@whitesox for $3.7 mil (pick 11=$4,199,200). Missouri St 3B, best power hitter in 2017 @MLBDraft. Didn't see this posted anywhere. If it was feel free to merge.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 16, 2017 -> 02:07 PM) Won't that break the All-Time record for most MLB teams played for? It won't, he was on the Nats in 2012, so he'd still be at 12.

FutureSox @FutureSox 7s White Sox 21st rounder: John Parke, LHP, South Carolina. Back to the Gamecocks well. 8.53 ERA, 21 K, 9 BB, 21.2 IP. Mostly used as reliever

FutureSox @FutureSox now White Sox 20th rounder: UIC 2B David Cronin. He hit .313/.429/.435 with 36 BB against 29 K this year.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 12:50 PM) I'm currently listening. Says on Sheets that he was surprised that he was there for us at pick 47. Says that we may have the best value pick out of round 7 for a guy that he had as a round 2 pick. Thinks our second day over all was the second best draft, first being the Twins. Not directly related to the draft but he also says Robert would have been considered for 1-1 and is comparable to Lewis. Thanks for sharing! I'm excited to give it a listen here after the draft wraps up.

QUOTE (spiderman @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 12:33 PM) What has been the national perspective (from the more respected draft analysts) on the White Sox draft so far? Any columns that have some of that feedback? Callis raves about White Sox draft This was just posted today, have yet to listen to it yet however.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 11:26 AM) No way Rooker lasts until our second round pick. I actually suspect he could go late first round. He put up monster numbers in the SEC this season. It's my pipedream picks but holding out hope that one (if not both) will slip.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 9, 2017 -> 01:06 AM) I really think the people that want the Sox to lose every game would be a fascinating study for a thesis on the brain of a sports fan. I think it would be discovered that deep down you are oh, so content during a so-called rebuild because you can puff your chests out and brag to Cub fans and others who would normally mock you or console you after a loss. You don't have to have your pride out there night after night during the season, your mood dependent on whether the White Sox win or lose. Now, thanks to the "rebuild" (lol on rebuild), you can (illogically but in your minds logically) smile at the antagonistic Cub fan or friend and say, 'What? I wanted to lose tonight. I got exactly what I wanted, a loss." The Cub fan or other person mocking you or consoling you for the Sox loss might add, "Oh you wanted them to lose cause you've finally come to your senses and stopped being a Sox fan?" You then would respond: "No. I want them to lose cause we are rebuilding and I want us to get the No. 1 pick in the baseball draft preferably but top three would be OK I guess." And that fan would say, "Oh," and leave the scene with the same look we all had today after John McCain's bizarre conversation with Comey. This post summarized in meme form . Really love the "rebuild" bit you got going on like it's some hoax or sham were being fed. I don't understand why you don't think it's a real thing happening right now (fyi, it is real, evidenced by our current 4th worst record in all of baseball), but hey, to each his own right? I wish there was a case study on the mind of greg to see what makes him tick, now that would be interesting!

Dan Hayes @CSNHayes 7s 2012 first rounder is rehabbing at Kannapolis. Will go to Winston-Salem from there and return to Bham shortly thereafter. in reference to Hawkins being sent to Kanny.

Hawkins now 0-5 with the golden sombrero.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 6, 2017 -> 10:28 AM) Hawkins K's first at-bat results in, you guessed it...a K. Kopech starting Game 1 at 11 am CST. Hawkins now 0-3 with 2 Ks. Very quiet day thusfar for the Kanny bats.
