I was attempting to make an analogy to two current mlb players with the key word "might" attached to it. Read my post again.

It's very very good if they win. But it's a long season and they'll see them again. Not even at the all star break yet.

Not gonna lie. I don't love the fact that the Rays aren't into Roch. I also don't love the idea of Roch trying to direct where he goes. Both red flags to me.

I'm one of, if not Emerson's biggest fan on this site. No, he ain't nor ever will be Bobby Witt Jr. BUT.. I am a big believer in his hit tool. Kid is gonna be an absolute stud. Just a different player.

Win or game over.

Via the Over-Slot podcast regarding the draft/mock with Joe Doyle. - Has been told by multiple MLB front offices over and over that the scouting and analytic portion of the White Sox front office prefers Emerson to Roch. - Less conclusive on who Getz prefers. Has heard that he prefers Roch from some folks, while others have heard he is in love with Grady. - Thinks the White Sox view Grady internally as a better player than Roch. If he has a fair signing bonus ask that beats Roch, most of the organization would take Grady. - Circles back to the time-frame. Roch will be a fast mover. Will be marketable. Will sell Jerseys. - As mentioned in the Mock I posted, has Grady as 55% the selection with Roch 45%. No talk on Lackey being in the mix at all. - Rays aren't in on Roch. He is not the guy their scouts or analytics department prefer at all. - Heard reports that Roch told the Twins he doesn't want to sign with them at 3. Would the Twins pick him regardless? - Tyler Bell didn't turn in his medicals at the combine. Can still do it up until the draft. If he does, the team has to offer the player 75% of slot value. - Joe posits the Rays taking Bell for around 5.5 million, then snapping up one of the hard Stanford signs. IE Archer Horn or Tyler Spangler. Those are 4 to 5 million guys as well. - Zion Rose has mega helium. Might go in the top 15. Good blend of floor and ceiling in a class that is largely lacking in upside.

Roch and Lackey 1 and 2.

At best, I don't think anyone has said he has the kind of speed. He has that power and hit tool ceiling, but he isn't close to that as of yet.

I think it's incredibly important for everyone to see Devo and Neil Young jam together. Then the Sox can take 3 of 4.

Any news on Billy Carlson?

Do they have bidets there?

3 or 4 wins please and thank you

Grady Emerson might be the next Bobby Witt Jr. . Chowlowsy profiles more like Dansby Swanson. Good players with different qualities and potential. If you can see that analogy a bit, take it one step further...who would you rather have right now if you could choose between Dansby Swanson and BobbyWitt Jr.? I like Grady Emerson, hands down and his timeline fits much better within the White Sox current system.

Does the Home Team still have those bothersome Tom-toms, or were they deemed to be racially offensive?

A crucial series.

Very true.

I couldn't picture a bigger blunder than the Sox sitting in the draft room and saying "We have Roch as our #1 player, but where would he play based on our roster today? Guess we better take someone we think is worse." I don't think that's going to happen.

10 games left against Cleveland this season. These 4 are gonna be huge.

Minnie Miñoso days lefts boys and girls! LETS GO!!

big series, big games. fun times.

Every season is different and these guys are very entertaining. I am going to enjoy the ride. I think they should make the playoffs and that would be outstanding. It's just great to truly care about White Sox baseball again.

Lineups to come

Sox have 10 games left against Cleveland. It's not that the other games are irrelevant, but those 10 games can effectively cancel everything else out.
