One thing I noticed that doesn't really matter, Moncada moved up to #1 because dansby swanson is no longer eligible to be on the list. Torres was never ahead of Moncada on the MLB100.

QUOTE (daggins @ Apr 28, 2017 -> 04:30 PM) I'm saying never. I do think Soto is a possibility IF DRob cuts the walks and stays dominant. But if people on Soxtalk offer to drive maybe it can happen...

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 28, 2017 -> 03:05 PM) Seems unnecessary for him to have two drivers, guys. Well I'm not really sure how long of a drive it is but they could take turns and get him there faster...

yes I think a change is in order

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 24, 2017 -> 10:42 AM) Oops, meant to add - also open to one in Great Falls, Montana area, if possible. But I'm guessing that one is an extreme long shot. I'm in Helena MT. I don't know what quality I can provide. I was hoping to make it to some games when the voyagers play in Helena.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 24, 2017 -> 09:34 AM) This is not realistic. What if we threw in another one of our bullpen? Still seems unrealistic

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 10, 2017 -> 02:50 PM) If the Pirates offer really was that, it is absolutely telling that the White Sox were able to get both Moncada and Kopech, plus a Basabe from Boston, yet no other team with a top rated farm system is willing to offer their best position player for Q. No Meadows. No Bergman. No Torres. No Swanson or Matain. That right there shows the market believes there is a pretty large difference between Q and Sale. we weren't getting swanson or bregman... even for sale. those teams are depending on them in the majors this season and that makes them more valuable. nyy isn't competing this year so why give up your top prospect and pit is stubborn and depends on prospects. its a little more complicated than just throwing out the top names.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 10, 2017 -> 12:43 PM) Which means the market isn't nearly as good as the Sox think it is, which is kind of the point. Isnt the fact that albies has been offered already say that we can get value similar to sale? Also Glasnow... Both top 10 prospects. I think we are just being picky about what we want back for our last BIG piece. There is no rush to make a deal, especially if we think his value will increase at the deadline.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Mar 31, 2017 -> 10:14 AM) Everyone is entitled to their opinion but how? I think they are a bottom 5 team in league right now and haven't subtracted more yet. I agree. This team is worse than last year... and will only get worse

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 30, 2017 -> 05:40 PM) I don't think when it is all said and done, Beer is a 1-1 guy. Still top of the draft, but corner OF/1B defensively mediocre guys haven't been going that high in recent years. yeah from the sounds of it, its unlikely he goes 1-1. But it sounds like it will be a great draft to have a top 5 pick.

So with his speed do we now think he can stick in CF? I mean even if he loses a couple steps as he fill out, he is still really fast.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 29, 2017 -> 12:18 PM) Who has some serious doubts about if he can actually be a catcher defensively. Which is why we are targeting Severino from the nats. I do think we need a defense first catcher with some hitting potential, but with how few bats we have in our system I feel like the Astros have a lot of other player to target.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Mar 29, 2017 -> 12:06 PM) I'm not sure why there is this obsession with Stubbs. I would prefer many other prospects to him. Same here. And because we seem to be targeting Severino from the nats I don't think Stubbs in a main target.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Mar 23, 2017 -> 04:55 PM) Pirates fans have to be the most upset with all these rumors. They have the prospects, but have not been willing to do what it takes. Another mediocre season with no playoffs awaits They seem to have bought in to the "Meadows in untouchable and is the future" bandwagon. From the fans I've heard they are ok not going after him.

Great article. Makes me want to keep Abreu. Seems like he could be a stabilizing influence on Moncada.

I just don't see Matian as part of the deal. Too valuable to Atl and not valuable enough to us.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 23, 2017 -> 09:09 AM) I would much rather get Matain instead of Albies or Acuna. Honestly Albies with zero power doesn't excite me at all as a headliner. Albies leadership, hardwork, and willingness to do whatever is asked to help the team is what excites me about him. There is a reason Albies is so highly regarded even without power. And I don't see the braves parting with matian.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 23, 2017 -> 08:56 AM) If a deal is done with Atlanta, I really want to get our hands on Matain. Austin Riley is another that would be a nice fit. I think Albies, Acuna, Riley, and one of their many lefties would be a good trade for both sides. They are so deep I feel like it wouldn't hurt them too much to give up that return.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Mar 22, 2017 -> 03:12 PM) Then no soup for you. Martes and Tucker are musts. Then two of Fischer, Reed, Perez, Whitley and Stubbs. I would personally be OK with no Martes, but I'd want something like Tucker, Fischer, Reed, Stubbs and Perez in that case. Is nobody interested in Yordan Alverez? I know he is a 1b but he seems like an interesting prospect to me.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Mar 17, 2017 -> 02:50 PM) Another full year in the minors and who knows, maybe he could be the #1 prospect (with other guys on the list moving to the big leagues). I think he can easily be called up this season. I would be very happy with him as the center piece of a Q trade.

QUOTE (mataipaepae @ Mar 17, 2017 -> 12:46 PM) I like Maitan better because of his chance to play 3rd base. I do too, but with how he hasn't taken a professional at bat yet. I also really like that Albies is considered a leader and is willing to do whatever the team asks. I love those kind of guys.

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Mar 17, 2017 -> 12:28 PM) Isn't Albies more highly regarded than Maitan? With him only being 17, and the ceiling he has, from what I have read he is considered untouchable. I could be wrong but that's what I have read.

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Mar 17, 2017 -> 12:02 PM) Acuna, Maitan, and a pitcher & I'm in Doubt theyd give up maitan... I think a realistic trade could be albies, acuna, guhara, riley, and a lower piece.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Mar 16, 2017 -> 09:39 AM) I'm seeing so many people proposing Q trade packages with no ascertainable headliner. What's the point of trading one of the best assets in baseball for organizational depth? Give me 2 elite prospects at the very least if Q is being discussed. Maybe Hahn can settle for depth when he trades guys like Frazier and Melky, but he definitely can't settle on Q. He's in the drivers seat without a doubt. and whats wrong with getting elite prospects with some depth guys as well. is getting a 5th guy in a depth package better than 4 guys with a couple being elite? our depth is strengthened either way...

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 15, 2017 -> 03:09 PM) In a hypothetical of Frazier, Rutherford, Sheffield, Andujar (the absolute best I think Hahn could get without Torres) then our rankings would be... Moncada Giolito Kopech Frazier Rutherford Lopez Sheffield Collins Fulmer Hansen Burdi Basabe Andujar Those additions are nothing to sneeze at and boost the three org farm needs (LHP, OF, 3B) That is the trade I think happens if it is the yanks... but I don't think it will end up being with the yanks. those 4 would be great get.
