OMG

Whetherholt is my top choice at 5

I get the sense that Getz actually doesn't even want guys like Basallo, Mayo or Kjerstad from BAL even though we would. I think he would want to get something like Bradfield and/or Beavers because it better fits his vision even if there's very little power in the lineup and he's just scared to death of anyone that could end up at 1B or DH or LF no matter how good the bat is. Not that it matters anyway because trying to trade with BAL is like trying to hammer a piece of jello to the wall.

There were some rumors earlier of Fedde to MIL for Pratt and Letson. Jimmy had said Sox liked Letson and Pratt just snuck into the Top 100 and is an up the middle player that is young and with upside. I'd really like a savage bat tho but that just seems unlikely with Getz small ball and speed philosophy.

Ugh.... It better damn well be a haul

Rough night on the farm.

Wolkow now 2-3 with a double and triple and 2 walks.

Dude is just obliterating pitching right now.

Yes that's pretty exciting.....his babip is high I want to see where he is at when it normalizes but the improved plate discipline and mega game power is awesome. It's possible he could end up being fairly close to 20 HRs in Low A despite not being there the whole year which would be incredible for an 18 year old.

Big George the Savage strikes again!

I dont think Iriarte is a lotto ticket. According to one service (it may have been Baseball Prospectus not sure I don't remember), he was a Top 100 prospect. And "Jerry won't let me sign him" is a perfectly good reason by itself to trade the player. If you can't keep him and we know we can't, it's best to sell high and this is certainly a very high point.

Yeah I think the As or Rockies will take him.

He's still getting a healthy amount of walks and his ISO ain't bad...but yes overall you are right that he needs to make major strides with his hit tool.

Bob Nightengale confirmed their report though.

If Padres want Crochet....I would want Merrill and it sucks his clock already started.

Kjerstad

Yep.

Indeed!

Great job George (x2) and Jacob! Need Colson to get going

These are garbage hypothetical offers.

Nuance and the White Sox go together like peanut butter and WD-40. Not very well.

That makes alot of sense.

There's no way Elias would ever give up that much or probably even half that much. The only way he would actually give up serious prospect talent is if Burnes also got hurt.

Yeah but the training staff is supposed to put together a maintenance plan specific to each person so stuff like this doesn't become chronic. That they have different body types doesn't excuse the training staff from failure.

That would be a very good pick. Left handed, very good hit and plate discipline, can play second base and has some legit pop (albeit nowhere near as much as Cags), and should contribute soon too. The only thing is our staff can't seem to do anything about Moncadas hamstrings so how could we expect them to keep Whetherholts hamstrings healthy?
