Ugh. Vera just can't get off the ground.

Does that mean Cannon is in AAA?
Yea. James mentioned that I believe.

Also Colson will be starting in Charlotte if anyone missed that.

Sounds like AA
Quoting and embedding.
This rotation could be sick nasty. I'm really looking forward to watching Iriarte.

I certainly like the idea of Rainer more then Cam Smith. Loved the blurb about the White Sox being focused on upside and ceiling though. This is the way.

Hmm. Doyle has White Sox going with Rainer in his first mock. 🤔 Where have we heard that name before?
QuoteA lot of talk on high school talents here in the awfully early stages of the spring. A long ways to go, but there seems to be an emphasis in Chicago on ceiling and upside at this spot. Again, it’s March and there’s a lot of noisy conjecture. Rainer has had a resurgent spring with an improved hit tool, more assertiveness and physicality in the box, all whilst maintaining his impressive defensive and athletic chops. He’s got a shot to be the first prep off the board.
Though I think it's nuts that he has Hagen Smith falling to 8.

That sounds wild to me. Surely they view other players better right?

Hey. Another interesting player worth watching. Cool.

Any chance Sox muscle Slade Caldwell down to 42? He’s an undersized lefty hitter from Arkansas. Seems like their flavor these days.

I guess that trumps me posting about him on page 2 back in July. 😜
I'll make you a deal. You can take Gillen and I'll take Curriel.
Damn. I thought I was ahead of the curve for once.
For anyone else that is interested in Curiel.
Quote64. Derek Curiel
OFHt: 6'2" | Wt: 175 | B-T: L-L
School: Orange (Calif.) Lutheran HS. Commit/Drafted: LSU
Age At Draft: 19.2
Curiel has an ease of operation to his game that stands out at the plate and in the field. He has a calm, balanced swing that’s quick, fluid and direct to the ball with good bat control and strike-zone discipline. His contact rate stacks up among the best in the 2024 class with good plate coverage and a knack for going with where the ball is pitched to use the whole field. Curiel has a wiry frame that he has started to add strength to, which has helped him generate more bat speed and extra-base damage at times. He’s still listed at 6-foot-2, 175 pounds and scouts do wonder how much physicality and strength he’ll pack on in the future, and therefore what his power upside might be. It’s his on-base skills that stand out more than his power, but he drives the ball well during BP, and there could be another uptick in power once he fills out and learns which pitches to try to drive for pull-side damage in the air. He’s been a plus runner in the past, but in the 2023 showcase season he more frequently turned in average run times from home to first. Curiel has above-average center field instincts and glides around the outfield with an easy stride, efficient routes and has an average, accurate arm. He is committed to LSU.

If we are throwing out names for comp picks/second rounders we like, I'm into these two so far. Strictly based on write-ups and one being an Iowa guy.
Too late Harold. I claimed him on the 5th.
-
Holman has to be playing into a 1st rounder right?
-
I think my current list goes Condon, Cags, Smith, Montgomery, & Burns. In that order.
-
Burns being Burns. 10Ks through 6.0 IP against Louisville.

Rex Hudler is truly unlistenable.
