Law has a big write up on some HS/College players : Lindsey, Honeycutt, Yesavage, Rainer, Curiel, Sirota etc. My school is blocking my athletic so I can't share. Lindsey, Rainer, Yesavage Stock up Honeycutt, Siorta-Down Curiel-Thinks he should stay in school and let the body develop can possibly be a top draft pick down the road if stays with the commitment to LSU.

Eno mentioned he had a trusted scout that backed up his velocity readings.

Listened to Eno Saris Podcast. Mentioned how Thorpe has been having trouble getting to 90mph on his fastball. Definitely worrisome!

Bob Nightengale @BNightengale Now that the Chicago White Sox traded Dylan Cease and Michael Kopech is being moved to the bullpen, they are internally discussing the possibility of bringing back free-agent starter Mike Clevinger. Clevinger was their most consistent starter last year: 9-9 with a 3.77 ERA. 11:25 AM · Mar 14, 2024 · 189.8K Views

Nightengale just mentioned Sox in talks with Clevinger.

I gave the trade a C+. This puts some pressure on the new development team to finish the progress on Zavala and Iriarte. That is the biggest concern I have with the trade. I'm willing and crossing my fingers Bannister, Barfield, and Janish are putting things in place that made them successful in previous stops.

Thorpe is scariest part of the deal. If he loses any more on the fastball velocity he will not make it as a starter. I’m fine with the other two pieces, but Thorpe as the headliner makes me pause.
-
Wish Merrill would be involved, but they just announced he’s making the final roster. So he’s out.
-
Keith Law has his list out. Interesting rankings. Konner Griffin is #19. Disagree with that one.
-
Has anyone had their eyes yet on Jacob Gonzalez this Spring? I know Fangraphs mentioned how he worked on getting in better shape and possibly being opened to changes to his swing.

That’s a heavy fastball!!!

Keith Law....doesn't hate us? Sox system ranked 10th overall

https://soxmachine.com/2024/02/podcast-how-the-white-sox-farm-system-is-improving-with-keith-law/ Great listen! Not surprising, how much Williams was involved in the draft room and going the conservative route. Looks like a great parting gift from Kenny with drafting Gonzalez. So glad that idiot is gone! -
Athletic fired Fegan in Jun23, now hired with Sox Machine

Outstanding news!!! -
Sox trade Cristian Mena to Arizona for OF Dominic Fletcher
PolishPrince34 replied to Heads22's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Wow didn’t realize how tiny Fletcher is. -
Haber out / Wong in as Assistant GM
PolishPrince34 replied to Chicago White Sox's topic in Pale Hose Talk
That’s a huge loss!!! Eno Sarris always spoke highly of him. -
Orioles Acquire Corbin Burnes for Ortiz/Hall/34th Pick
PolishPrince34 replied to DirtySox's topic in Pale Hose Talk
For 1 year of Burnes I think it’s a fair deal. Obviously Elias was trying to pawn off the same two players and I’m glad Getz said hell no to that return with the headliner of Ortiz. -

Looks like Houston Astros are starting to take over the Cuban pipeline. -
Extremely happy we weren’t interested in Busch. Stuck at 1b and already 26 years old.

Don’t have too much information on Mike Shirley’s #2 Asst Director of Amateur Scouting Charlie Guest. I know he was drafted and played for the White Sox around 20 years ago. What are the insiders thoughts on Guest’s competency (Skills/viewed by the league) as our #2?
-
This is great! Have they hired his replacement yet?
-
Gilbert, Williams, and Houck for Cease. I think Dirty Sox might of mentioned this earlier. I’m on board with this move.
