I think this draft worked out amazing for the White Sox and I have absolutely no complaints. Realistically, the White Sox just added two guys that you could argue should've been Top 12 picks. I also like that they're on completely different timetables. Crochet should be a quick-to-the-majors kind of guy. I would imagine that the organization would like to have him on the big league roster in 2022. Kelley is only 18 and was arguably the best high school player in the draft. He will have a ton of time for development and will most likely be on the same trajectory as Thompson and Dalquist. That is an impressive trio on the rise together.

I don’t see anyway that Nick Gonzales slips to 11. Seems like 7 is about as low as he would be drafted. Hoping for Detmers tonight. If he isn’t available, Mick Abel or Tyler Soderstrom would be who I would want the Sox to pick.

Just trying to drum up some conversation until baseball is back. Does anyone have any White Sox tattoos? I have two. A World Series one on my right bicep and an ‘83 logo on the side of my right calf. Anyone else?

Today is supposed to be the day that T-Mobile users can download a free year of MLB.TV. Anyone else having trouble getting it downloaded? I can’t find it anywhere.

Sorry if this has been discussed already, but what does everyone think a realistic deadline is for the season to start before they cancel the whole 2020 campaign? If it’s July 1st and baseball still hasn’t resumed, do you guys think they would consider just giving up on the year and focusing on 2021?

I really thought that Burdi, Flores and Basabe would all start in Charlotte.

Absolutely love this move. Fully expecting him to have a huge impact. Future All-Star.

I am really looking forward to following him this season. For someone that was the 3rd overall pick, he seems like a guy that isn’t talked about as much as expected. I think he is going to have a monster year throughout the minors. Seems like he has a great balance of raw talent and tremendous work ethic.

What is the most memorable Sox game that everyone here as been to? I'm 27 so I dont have as many years at the ballpark, but I've been to well over 100 Sox games. I've never seen the Sox play in the playoffs, but there are two games that stick out for me. 1. Nicky Delmonico walk-off vs. the Angels. My friends and I had seats behind the Sox dugout and it was an incredible view for the home run. 2. I believe it was 2009. Sox-Rays. This was the A.J. Pierzynski "chicken-wing" game. From what I remember he stuck his elbow out and made contact with the Rays SS. The umps deemed this interference, and A.J. was ruled safe. I believe the Sox went on to win the game on a walk-off single.

Luis Gonzalez is a guy that I am looking forward to watching this year. I think he'll have a big 2020.

Luis Robert has reported to Glendale and is already hitting in the cage. *HEAVY. BREATHING.*

No news regarding Kopech, but I just wanted to say that I think this guy is going to be a stud in the big leagues. He seems to have some of the best work ethic on the team, and from what I can tell, the injury has brought new perspective when it comes to pitching. I personally hope they start him in Charlotte just to get him used to facing live batters again, but when he comes up, assuming he starts in AAA, I think he is going to make a tremendous impact on this ball club.

I try not to be too superstitious, but I just won the auction for the Reynaldo Lopez game-used jersey on MLB.com. Last time I won an auction, it was for a game-used Lucas Giolito jersey last April, and we saw the season he went on to have... Just throwing it out there.

The tweets are back.

Anyone making any trips to see any Sox prospects this year? I live in a suburb just north of Charlotte so I’m about 15 miles from the Knights ballpark, 25 miles from Kannapolis and about 70 miles from Winston-Salem. Should be some good prospects in the Carolinas again this year. Looking forward to the season!

I have to say, it’s bold to double, triple, quadruple down on something like this. But like everyone else has been saying, all he has to do is say a medical fell through, or Arenado got cold feet.

I am really excited to watch Gavin Sheets in Charlotte this year. With the short porch in right field, I think he will put up some pretty incredible power numbers.

I’m guessing they have him on a similar path as Madrigal. Start him in WS for a month, then Birmingham from May through July, then finish off the season in Charlotte.

One thing that I always look forward to as Spring Training comes to a close is where the top prospects will start the 2020 season. Here are mine! 1. Robert- Chicago 2. Kopech- Charlotte 3. Madrigal- Charlotte 4. Vaughn- Winston-Salem 5. Dunning- Birmingham (June) 6. Stiever- Birmingham 7. Basabe- Charlotte 8. Rutherford- Birmingham 9. Adolfo- Birmingham 10. Gonzalez- Charlotte 11. Sheets- Charlotte 12. Thompson- Great Falls 13. Dalquist- Great Falls 14. Pilkington- Birmingham 15. Johnson- Charlotte What do you guys think?

Anyone get any cool autographs or pictures this weekend?

Post some pictures from the event if you can!

When are we expecting this to happen? I thought I read something the other day that said it could happen the day before SoxFest.

For anyone that’s going, what are you looking to get signed? I always look forward to seeing the pictures from SoxFest!

Madrigal ranked No. 2. Rated as having the highest hit tool (70) and the highest floor. http://m.mlb.com/prospects/2020?list=2b

Do we hear the Kris Bryant/Nolan Arenado rumors start to heavily pick up soon?
