I like Glasnow a little more. We could have a really formidable young rotation I hope our development guys can come through with later round positional prospects. I'd put Lopez over Giolito at the moment. Edited December 23, 2016 by soxforlife05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 04:10 PM) The best part of rebuilding is being able to experiment with less than sure things or also-rans from other orgs and see who sticks. We were so hanging on a thread needing every bit of production we couldn't develop at major league level and we pushed everyone up to major league level as soon as we could squeeze an ounce of production from them. I am 100% confident one of our experiments (or more) will pan out next 2 years. Casey Blake was on the Hall of Fame ballot this year. Casey Blake! I remember him coming up with the Twins and watching him play and, I was young as hell, but thinking that he had one of the worst swings I'd ever seen. He was a quad-A player if there ever was one. And then he ended up on the Hall of Fame ballot because he stuck around 10 years and was good. Not that anyone voted for him (at least I hope not), but this is your exact point and I had a specific example in mind. Yes, let all of the quad A players play.

Very few have the upside he has. Now, who might be the better pro is another question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
103 mph screwball Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Something should happen today if the Sox demands have been met. If not, they should shut down talks until after the holidays. In my opinion, it wouldn't be right to trade a player during Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't buy into anything Dave says right now. He clearly had a source (or sources) at some point, but my guess is they dropped his ass. I know I wouldn't put my job on the line by leaking stuff to someone as volatile as Dave. I hope he's right, but this seems like him fishing based on the increase in Quintana rumors over the past few days. Honestly, the only the person I trust with this kind of stuff is raBBit. Rock Raines lost his source and I can't even remember the last nugget of substance bucket provided.
