Bryce Harper, in pinstripes 2018, not real but is more of a possibility to be real than Rutherford is to be coming up to be a major contribution in 18, or 19-20 for that matter.

Why isn't he in the big picture? He's only not in the big picture because we traded him. Again, you never know who will be good or healthy or who we'll have years from now. If Rutherford was ready tomorrow it might be different. But he isn't. And relying on Harper being a Yankee is ridiculous. At this point it can't be anything more than a Hail Mary percentage.

We're picking up all the money on the guys we got and none on the guys we gave away. Standard straight swap, no cash considerations either way.

100% agree and as I said before at worse Clippard vs Frazier is a wash, at best Clippard is still HIV on a stick (-0.1 WAR currently) and Frazier (1.6 WAR currently...not sure if that's a typo or not) contributes significantly for about a quarter of the games left and sucks for the rest.

They still need a SP though...Sonny Gray possibly???

Will be nearly impossible to get anyone else of value now. Can't afford to give up any other prospects.

Bravo, but come on you know nobody is a Hawk fan.

Also Rockies are back baby, just had to play one of the worst teams in baseball to get back on track

That 2-1 pitch to Jose Ramirez? If that's the one, it didn't seem historically outside, but given that the catcher had to shoot his arm across the plate to catch it, it didn't even look like a strike.

Btw

#Hawkfan4eva

I totally get why people don't like him. But growing up as a White Sox fan in Oregon in the days before message boards, I didn't know a single other person who liked the White Sox, and Hawk was my superfan buddy! Back when they showed games on WGN. I would literally plan my week around the occasional Sox WGN game as a youth.

Chris Taylor should win the MIP award. But pretty sure that doesn't exist.

JD Martinez gets HBP in second AB for D-Backs, pulled from game and didn't look great. One and done to Sale and W Sox seems more imminent.

I'm not sure about the second part, but JD got hit on the hand in his second at bat. Had to leave the game, but x-rays were negative, so I guess that's something
