Keith Law isn't half bad

The Sox have been known to rush their 1st round picks. Rodon, Fulmer. Nick might be the most polished player in the last draft. Will he be rushed up this year? IMO, the Sox will do it. They've done this plenty of times before..

My bad, I meant this upcoming season.

Rushing players to the majors. That is a White Sox staple.

Personally, I really don't like it. Yoan showed flashes of good range and potential at 2nd. His bat is also more valuable at 2nd. He can be a top 2nd baseman imo. I also don't like the idea of switching his position for a dude who isn't even in the majors yet (Madrigal). Let Yoan focus on improving at the plate. I think this is another poor move by the goon squad that is our front office.

It's pathetic that he can't shed that weight. It's your damn job to be in shape to play 3rd base. He tore his Achilles twice already. Youd think he'd focus on eating less cheese burgers and getting his weight down. Guess not. He won't stick at 3rd.

Garfien is a hack who writes fluff pieces for the org. He will praise any move they make.

Madrigal hasn't proved anything in the minors yet though. You play Moncada at his natural position and where his ceiling is highest until The Little Magician forces a move.

Nothing. I'm saying I bet they call him up next year.

Added.

I'm actually a fan of this

This thread will be good bump material when I'm right about him coming up next year. This is a total Sox move. The Little Magician will be up next year.

That's a barstool nickname for Nick Foles if I'm not mistaken

So Herb Lawrence is the official white Sox nicknamer?

I don't remember deciding on a nickname. @ChiliIrishHammock24 is the official nicknamer of soxtalk, and he didn't declare it yet. That nickname is lame anyway

100%. Smart guy but he seems to go out of his way to defend Rick

I was being slightly sarcastic, but I didn't realize he was that highly thought of prior to the trade.

Tatis Jr was a nothing prospect at the time. Losing him has no impact on the team today, and is not something any other fan base would dwell on. 

Nobody in the scouting community thinks he can stick at catcher.

Marcus Semien had 3.7 WAR last season, which is almost double the WAR of any player on the White Sox last year... But yeah, who needs that?

No, that isn't actually your opinion

What's the reason to move Yoan to 3rd base already then? Terrible decision IMO. His potential is way higher at 2nd.

Fact. Gio did have a dynamite arm, back with the nats. His stuff is mediocre now

Anybody else attending this year? I already bought flight tickets and game tickets, so I will be attending regardless. I'm going to enjoy it as much as I can. I'll be there in a week and some change. You'll see me with a paper bag on my head. Kind of disappointed in the forecasted weather. High of 70. Expected more because it is Arizona, but it is still winter I suppose. Should still be a hell of a time with my friends. Looking forward to the atmospher more than anything. Who's going?

Boros representing a player shouldn't have any impact on the White Sox choice. Then again, gotta save up to resign our future studs 👌
