Someone who knows....who is better right now, Fletcher or Deloach?

You're coming down too harshly on Vaughn. How many times was he thrown out at second trying to stretch a single to a double? His hitting will improve this year. If guys get on base ahead of him, he could be an RBI machine. His biggest flaw is his tendency to swing at third strike sliders out of the zone. He knows it, and he will work on it.

As Alex Karras once said, He's small but he's slow.

Had to laugh. Just 2 days ago I saw him on TV pitching something or other....

You're calling it a bad pick but not a bust pick? What's the difference?

If Cease is with Sox throughout 2024, I doubt he gets 33 starts. Boros won't allow it.

There is always room for another catcher who can't hit .200.

I expect both Jiminez and Vaughn to improve. Moncada, not so much.

I would ask for Mayo, too. Mayo is their #4 prospect, Gonzalez is our #4 prospect. Big difference.

They don't want to rush him.

Rex Chapman?

Because White Sox do stupid things. Actually, I was being sarcastic. I'm a Ramos fan, so I wouldn't be surprised if Sox throw him in to make a trade, and then get burned for it.

What is on the property now?

I always like Carlos Sanchez.

They still haven't gotten over the John Elway rejection.

My predictions are that Wolkow will go up, and Gonzalez will go down. Last year we had a young catcher at DSL who hit a ton. What was his name, and is he scheduled to be at Arizona this year?

I remember when he was a player in the low minors.

Here's a real ugly thought. Sox want Westburg. Orioles say No. Sox offer to throw in Ramos. Orioles say Yes. Westburg struggles with Sox, Ramos stars with Orioles.

I don't get it.

Great point.

IMO, many of us here, including myownself, have overvalued Cease's trading value.

who cares?

Not true.

Are any of third base prospects better than Ramos?

I don't think he was that bad on defense. Now, he can't throw; I'll give you that. I'm surprised baserunners don't challenge him more at second base. But, he covers the ground in left field as well as most outfielders, if not better. As long as he hits the cutoff man, he won't hurt the team much with his lousy throwing.
