Greg, I know sarcasm is difficult to decipher over text, and I struggle with it as well. If you know Ron as a poster as well as you should, he's being 100% facetious there. He's just ball busting.

They got Adell last time, and we got Burger. Let's hope fortunes are reversed this next time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yoan/Tim/Eloy are the main reasons why this team has been winning lately, and I’d rather have them playing well resulting in the Sox having a worse draft pick opposed to them struggling resulting in a better pick. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quin 4,601 Posted September 30, 2019 For all the shit talking Preller and co. did, I'm not necessarily upset at seeing them finish worse than the Sox. *this opinion may differ come June around draft time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vacheron 598 Posted September 30, 2019 1 hour ago, Tony said: Agreed. This September was fantastic for the Sox. And as much as I don't care for him, the fact that the young guys had an amazing September is a credit to the fact that they really want to play for Rick Renteria. No sign of losing the clubhouse in a pretty crappy year's end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thirded. I'm ok with it because Eloy, Moncada and Anderson finished the season on fire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maxjusttyped 3,412 Posted September 30, 2019 I'm not sure how the new qualifying offer rules work. If the Sox sign a free agent that received a QO would they lose their pick because it's outside of the top 10? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a little different when we know we were targeting Adell, Lux, and Benintendi one spot before drafting. It's different when we talk about passing on Trout, who the Angels then proceeded to pass on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A guy who just put up a .368 OBP and a .808 OPS at Birmingham, nearly 50 extra base hits during the year, struck out too much but was still getting on base, might have been an excellent guy to work on his "Launch angle" when that came into vogue a couple years later...

Yeah, I agree with you. I think Mitchell would have been a Mike Cameron type hitter with worse D had he stayed healthy.

ChiSox59 5,439 Posted October 2, 2019 So if the Sox sign a player who rejected a QO - say Zack Wheeler - they'd forfeit their 2nd round pick. Somewhere in the high 40s overall. Correct? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
