QUOTE (GermanSock @ Jun 27, 2017 -> 04:21 AM) A lot of talk is about position players and rightfully so but don't the white Sox also need another SP prospect? They have giolito, kopech and lopez but each of them has a risk because of the command. If one of them has to move to the pen who will become the rest of the rotation? They can certainly sign a free agent when it is time but I still think they need at least one more high level prospect because a lot of the other pitching prespects are relievers. Keep an eye on Bernardo Flores. As excited as everyone is about Alec Hanson, Flores is having nearly as good a year and is 1 year younger. Lots of exciting prospects in the next wave 2019-2020.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jun 21, 2017 -> 04:51 PM) He's an interesting lefty reliever in our system, something we are really thin on outside of him and Clark. I certainly could see Bummer getting a look in the pen at some point. Add Jordan Guerrero to the list. So many starters in the system, that might be his path forward. He might be a multiple inning kind of guy having pitched to so many right hand hitters.

Collins has more walks than hits. Will his average go up at higher levels where pitchers are around the plate more.

QUOTE (yesterday333 @ Jun 26, 2017 -> 10:50 AM) Exactly. If Tucker, and probably Fisher as well, isn't included another team will easily beat their offer. Agreed. If Q has 1-2 more good starts in a row, his value should be about back to his off season level. Don't be surprised if the Yankees decide to pull the trigger. They really are almost as good as the Red Sox and Q could help them for a long time.

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Jun 26, 2017 -> 12:46 PM) He was productive his entire way up the ladder in the minors and was an above average SS last year despite only playing 99 games. Pretty impressive for someone that isn't a baseball player. Small sample size,league has figured him out. Whatever you do just don't throw him a strike . He was productive in a sense in the minors in that he improved but his obp was always Mediocre even with a good ba.that 3 months of Defense last year is the best you will ever see from him. Bring back alexi.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jun 23, 2017 -> 11:57 AM) Most of his defensive problems are just a lack of fundamental preparation, especially to his left where he rounds way too many balls off instead of putting the bill of his cap over his bellybutton and the ball. That's very correctable with time and experience.typical KW draft pick.great athlete,looks fab in the uniform. Only problem is he's not a baseball player.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 16, 2017 -> 12:44 PM) I might rank Evan Skoug higher than anyone drafted this season besides Sheets and Burger. It is so nice to have a little hope again regarding the future. The pitching was already starting to look good and now adding some serious bats. 2019 can't come soon enough.

Over the last 6 weeks or so Guerrero has pitched like a top prospect again. His secondary numbers are even better than almost all Sox prospects. Does anyone know if his wildness last year was injury related and if so, does he have a chance to make it to Chicago ?

What is this young left handed pitchers ceiling?

QUOTE (SoxFan2003 @ Jun 5, 2017 -> 12:27 PM) I have questions about this too. How many times did he get beaned after that considering this took place "back in the day" when players knew how to "play the right way" and "act like they've been there before"? I watched Harry and Jimmy as a teen . Little did i Know what I was watching. Probably the best duo ever to do baseball. honest and direct always, and funnier than hell. Cubs fans worshiped Harry but never saw him at his greatest. Jimmy brought that out almost every game. R I P Jimmy .

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 28, 2017 -> 11:01 PM) yea and he was usually young for his age, certainly a interesting player now that he's hitting in MLB. Yolmer could be a really good 2B for many years to come. What about a 2019 outfield of Robert,Moncada and Avi?

When is "vote for yolmer" T-shirt night ?

QUOTE (WBWSF @ May 21, 2017 -> 08:02 AM) All in all he seems to be doing a good job. You can't expect him to compete for the Playoffs this year considering the talent he has been given. You can't make chicken salad out of chicken s***. does anyone think that the huge improvement in avi and yolmer this season has something to do with renteria instilling confidence in their abilities? I don't know if it is, but some people have a knack for inspiring others. p.s. I'm enjoying this season more than any season in many years. good vibes.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ May 18, 2017 -> 02:15 PM) I feel like wherever Moncada is best is where he winds up. There's no reason to force him into a position on a bad baseball team. Don,t know if sanchez will keep hitting, but he did hit for a high average in the minors. isn't 2nd base one of the positions where it is easy to be seriously injured? I would hate to get the new face of the franchise banged up turning a tough double play . And it does look like sanchez is a good defender there.

QUOTE (SoxChinMusic @ Mar 29, 2017 -> 12:24 PM) Absolutely agree. In order to get the proper balance of pitcher(s) and position player(s) w/o sacrificing the quality of prospects, Whitley has the ability to be a TOR starter also. If we were to back off asking for Martes, this may allow us to also get Stubbs. In order to get Stubbs, if we had to work in Jennings or DR, we can do it. Worst case, IF the Astros balk, we could accept Reed and not Whitley with additional tinkering. Reed is simply not quite on the fast track as Tucker may be but I feel he'll work out and is a LHB.. Tucker + Fisher + Whitley + or (Stubbs/Reed).. I agree the Astros could make it happen with several different pieces. It seems to me that the Dodgers want to compete every year and have so much money and talent that they would be more apt to go for it if they think Q might push them over the top.

The Dodgers seem to have the right pieces to trade for Q. He would make their rotation as tough as anyone in baseball. They also have several position prospects and that is where the Sox are thinnest.

Sign weiters and adam lind.bring up moncada on may 17th{carlos mays birthday}.Then you send saladino to right field and release avi. Rodon moncada tilson Quintana melky abeu Giolito frazier lind Lopez Anderson weiters Migo saladino

Life long SOX fan. IMHO Santo was a hall of famer barely. Tons of walks, good power, great defense. Konerko isn't as good. I do agree that the Cubs really pushed him over the top with a media campaign. If there is a White Sox equal to Santo who isn't in the hall, it's Minoso. Outstanding multi-talented player who missed at least 5-6 years Of his prime because of racial quotas used In the 40's and early 50's.

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Jan 19, 2017 -> 01:29 PM) Konerko had a much better career than Ron Santo. The problem is that Konerko will not have the PR that Santo did. The Cubs organization and Cubs tv+radio stations promoted Santo for the HOF for years. Konerko will never have that same type of thing going for him. The only thing that made me happy about Santo getting into the HOF is that he didn't live to see it.

Where is Pablo Ozuna ? Where is Jerry Hairston ? Where is Shingo ? Where is Pablo Torrealba ?

IF we get pomerantz in the deal ,he will be a 2 year stop gap starter. You may not like him but he is at least a league average starter. He will allow us not to rush eric Hansen and spencer adams while still giving the team a chance to compete. Zisk

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Oct 9, 2016 -> 08:37 AM) Why in hell would you want Pomeranz? He's only under control for two more seasons and has been a dissapointment in the AL. Give me Rodriguez all day and his five years of control.

sonny gray is good, sale is an ace. benitendi, pomerantz,kopec and either devers or moncada for sale.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Oct 9, 2016 -> 08:23 AM) I don't think you will see panic in Boston. They are coming off 2 terrible seasons where they finished last in AL East. Down the stretch they owned their main rivals in O's and Jays. They made a boatload of money this year in both attendance and merchandise sale. They have 4 young players in starting lineup and more talent on the way. But making the playoffs for them is not a goal but more an expectation. So I think Dombowski will be busy. Many forget they lost their #3 starter and All-Star mid-year this year in Wright. Benintendi made a splash down the stretch. Moncada, however. was a flop. Both were rushed to the majors skipping AAA. Living in Red Sox country, my take. I hope to hell Sale does not end up in Boston. I think Dombrowski will make moves and trade one of Moncada or Benintendi. My guess, he will package the one w another prospect( Devers or Kopech), a SP ( Buchholtz or Pomerantz) and Shaw or Holt and add a 2-3 starter and a lefty reliever. keep an eye on Sonny Gray. He will not trade Betts or Bradley. Benintendi and Betts are a step down from Bradley defensively, the reason why both had to learn new positions. Hopefully they get swept tonight although the game may get rained out.

moncada,benni,kopec,pomerantz for sale
