QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 24, 2017 -> 02:31 PM) Mistake #1 is to put any stock into what Cub fans have to say. This is advice to live by

If the Sox can get Bader, plus one wildcard type prospect, I'm all for trading Avi. I like Bader a ton

This is a troll thread right? I mean if not, then OP might just be the worst judge of talent/value in the world. This is the type of trade that a drunk off his rocker Kenny Williams would make at 4am after a 8 hour bender with the GM of the Marlins who was drinking nothing but water all night long waiting for Kenny to lose all inhibitions

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 11:00 PM) If Abreu is in single a that's my guess. Abreu would get me as excited as Florial or Andujar,

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 10:55 PM) For those catching up, four players. Rutherford, Clarkin, Clippard and one more. Supposedly an A baller. It's not Mateo, Florial or Solak. Sands? Is it someone in their top 30?

Will this damn game end already!!!

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 10:50 PM) If it's one more I'd prefer Andujar and he makes more sense since he's part of their 40 man issue. Would prefer him as well, but if it's true the Yanks are only giving up guys in lower leagues, then he's out of the picture. Really hoping it's Florial.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 10:42 PM) Levine says Sox will get 4 players in this deal.. we seem to know 3 of them If only one more it's got to be someone in the Yanks top 15. Hoping for either Florial or Andujar, but wouldn't be too surprised if it was Mateo

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 10:24 PM) I need more than Rutherford and clarkin. Deal is missing one more quality piece. If it's Florial then I'd be good. Not sure who else is a low level Yankees prospect that I'd get excited about. Maybe Abreu?

If it's a package of just lower level guys, I'm assuming Rutherford, Florian, Clarkin, and maybe one or two more

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 08:55 PM) I want Rutherford and Andujar at a minimum Frazier or Rutherford and Andujar at minimum for me.

This better be a freaking haul from the Yanks

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 08:48 PM) Out of curiosity, who did they draft for that comp pick? Kyle Holder

QUOTE (FT35 @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 11:35 AM) Crazy to think that according to MLB.com rankings, Rafael Devers would be our 4th best prospect. (!?!?) (Moncada-1, Jimenez-8, Kopech-11, Devers-12). We're not getting Devers

QUOTE (beautox @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 08:49 PM) I would like for them to focus on BPA then MI, LHP & C in that order. Sox have an interesting catching core in the low minors in Collins, Zavala and Skoug. Would love to see Kelly(STL) or Ruiz(LAD) added to that mix. For MI it wouldn't surprise me to see them target players like Nicky Lopez (KC), Delvin Perez (STL), Kieboom(WAS), Lux(LAD), Arauz(HOU), Mateo(NYY). and for LHP outside of Sheffield(NYY) or Beeks(BOS), I think they're going to target young LHP like Luzardo(WAS), Duensing(LAA), Cabrera(TB) Could Avi net back Kelly in a trade to the Cards?

Yes C: Collins 1b: Sheets 2b: Moncada SS: 3B: Burger LF: Jimenez CF: Robert RF: Basabe Plug Anderson in at short if he can fix his defensive issues, maybe sign Machado, and the Sox could have a dynamic line up in 2-3 years

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 05:46 PM) It was in an article on the front page of MLB.com. Wording was a little vague (he said they should fill in the bottom two thirds of the list), but yeah, what else could that mean. I'd find it surprising though, at this moment at least. More amusing is that the first comment, apparently a Sox fan, thought Eloy was a bad get because of his K rate, and that the Sox should have targeted Zack Granite, or Brinson, or Happ instead. This one? http://m.mlb.com/news/article/241991408/ma...picid=151437456 I took it to read that those three will fill in the bottom 2/3's of the White Sox top 30

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 04:21 PM) Mayo says burger, sheets, and skoug will all be top 100 on new list That's kinda shocking to hear. 3 guys from one draft that all make the top 100? Collins barely made the top 100 in last years post draft update

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 06:29 AM) You should sue him for ruining your life. Let's get a class action going

Don't agree. You either go for the rebuild or you don't. I don't see a 2019 window either unless everyone we have right now hits. You have to figure a good amount of them will be busts, or just never reach their potential. In order to hedge against that, we need more prospects.

No question the AA rotation. I'm a bit worried about our guys in AAA right now

I'm wondering if part of Collins issues this year is his patience. He's around a 4.25 pitches per plate appearance, which if he was in the majors would be one of the highest in the league. A patient hitter is great, but if he's letting hittable pitches go by and then striking out, it could be an issue. Wonder if they may want to try to get him to be a bit more aggressive earlier in counts to help him out of his slump. Honestly, I think at this point that the best case scenario for Collins is he becomes comparable to Mike Napoli. Napoli's also another guy that is incredibly patient at the plate, who sees a ton of pitches per plate appearance.

Why isn't Robert on the list? Also, what's going on with some of our top prospects besides Moncada and Kopech? Giolito, Lopez, Fulmer, and Collins all seem to have regressed bigly

Sell Sell Sell!!! Sox would be crazy not to right now
