Fully disagree on Wolkow. Teams have shifted towards prioritizing youth and ceiling in these types of deals. You say he’s been spinning in circles for a long time, yet he is a 20 year old in High A who has made some strides this year in terms of the K rate. He’s certainly a high variance player who likely amounts to nothing, but the ceiling if it were to click is insane. To think he has zero trade value is just simply wrong IMO.

I've always been a pretty big Peralta guy. I'd take him for sure. That Mets situation is pretty brutal, and he's certainly had some bad luck with both balls in play and sequencing. The stuff still seems to be there for the most part. At the price above, I think I'd give it a whirl.

If they trade any of the A+ ball guys, they can just cross the dugout this weekend

Charles and Jerry would have a lot in common.

Think he's already a real prospect. He's almost a full year under the average age there too so definitely not an old guy.

I mean, if you're just going to cut, paste and retweet, be a little more accurate

If you want to bicker over 8th, 10th, 12th feel free, but the point remains. It isn't a big return.

Side note, looking at the Sox Top 30 to see who I'd think about trading instead of Smith, seeing Bergolla listed as playing in rookie ball with an estimated arrival of 2026 is funny.

Tony Joe White's entire oeuvre is awesome. And yes, the better version. But c'mon, prime late Elvis.

I'm not buying this rumor, at all. Unless our pitching coordinators, who already have a pretty mixed record of success, have identified an easy-to-fix flaw with Peralta and feel they can make him absolutely dominant and do so quickly, I don't think this is the kind of deal Getz is looking to make. The checkbook is open, why the hell would he choose to spend farm assets instead?

This isn't even close to the best version of this song. Try "Poly Salad Annie" by the guy who originally did it back in 1969 Tony Joe White

Seems sacrilegious if that sort of thing bothers you. Doesn't bother me but the whole thing just seems kinda lame.

He gawn.

It's fascinating how you are so optimistic about complete trash but then pessimistic at the one time the team struck gold. Bonemer has already dropped his k-rate in AA to league average, and he's a very very good athlete. A 55-60 grade runner. Good arm. He's about 10 months older than Acuna was in AA, but his numbers are right along where Acuna's were. He's actually walking a little more, and striking out at about the same rate.

Pretty sure one of those injuries was due to a fluke comebacker which obviously means it wasn’t anything mechanical. And I’m not aware of him leaving any starts. Last I heard he went 6 vs KC giving up only 1 ER.

Well entering play today FG has us at 48% to make playoffs. It's basically tied with the highest mark of the year. We were slightly higher on June 29th. I'd say that's more than enough to make some additions. Not like sell the farm type additions but a bullpen arm or two and a back end starter would help get those odds closer to 60%.

On Cole Prosek from James Fegan: “To the extent that any player has an idea of what to expect in the draft, Mississippi high schooler Cole Prosek wasn't expecting to join the White Sox. The 19-year-old infielder had a meeting with Sox brass at the MLB Combine in Arizona that he thought went well, but before he became the 41st overall pick, Prosek felt the Padres, Rockies and Brewers were showing the most interest. Then the White Sox pulled a move that rendered it all moot. "After the ninth pick, they called my agent and offered me the amount of money," said Prosek, who signed for $3.25 million. "Then my agent upped my number for every other pick, from 40 up to 20. He upped my number, nobody wanted to pay over it. So, fell down to the White Sox, and here I am, which I'm very glad to be here in this organization. So, I'd say it was a little surprise."

Girardi made a great point on the broadcast Wednesday: there isn't a single SP on the WS roster with post season experience. I'm not like a huge experience matters guy but it doesn't hurt and adding a SP with post season and pennant chase experience might not be an awful idea.

Because of our ability to take walks, even if we slump we will still be able to drive in runs. It's much more sustainable then 2020

In 2000 me and my best friend did a canoe trip on the boundary waters, and we got there 2 weeks after a straight line windstorm just decimated the area. There were spots on our trip that looked like a giant with a weedwhacker stood there and whacked every tree you could lay your eyes on. They tell you a straight line wind storm is basically a tornado spread out over a large distance, and I believe it
