So then it's just a BABIP issue and not a velocity issue? If it's BABIP it should normalize like it recently did with Quero.

10k's is great...wish the FB was a tick higher.

If BTV is right about his SV (61 million), and someone offers that, you have to sell high. You could get two prime 30m SV prospects or 3 20s. 61m suggests that 2 Top 100s are definitely reasonable (and not back end Top 100s either...maybe two in the 40-50 range).

He didn't have any Ks last night......1/4.

Montgomery 1-3 with a double and 2 BB Iriarte 6 IP, 5H, 3ER, 2K, 2BB Gonzalez 2-4 with a SB Quero 1-4

If they move Taylor up to A+ after the draft, I wouldn't be shocked if he got his feet wet in AA by the end of the season.

Just FYI....Baseball Trade Values is now a paid site but each week they will provide two teams player/prospect SV for free. This week it's the White Sox and Padres, so this is what they have right now for various players on the ML roster that might be trade bait (my comments in parentheses): Banks 9.5 (not bad at all) Brebbia -2.2 Clevinger 2.5 (I thought it would be zero) Colas 6.6 Crochet 61.2 (sell high ASAP!!!!!!) DeJong 2.1 Fedde 11.9 (I was hoping it would be higher than this...but maybe if u package him with Banks, you can still get a pretty good 20m SV prospect out of it) Flexen 2.2 (I'm shocked by this, with his small salary I was hoping for way more, hes pitched very well recently) T. Hill -1.1 Julks 8 Kopech -1.8 (sigh) N..Lopez 1.4 Pham 3.1 (was hoping for more) Robert 44.7 (apologies to @CaliSoxFanViaSWside, seems he was right on how much value Robert has lost, 44m SV is basically what we got back for Cease and that's very light to me, I think Robert's SV last year was something like 77m, so he's lost alot of helium. I wouldn't trade him for 44m, maybe hope he has a great second half and we can hopefully get more in the offseason). Sheets 3.9 Soroka -1.8 Vaughn -0.3 (lulz) S. Wilson 0.7 (the idea or getting him from SD to flip him was a good one,didn't work out it seems)

Baltimore is the most prospect hugging org out there, they would never agree to this. Instead, they'd try to pawn off pyrite first and hope someone else believes it's gold like they did before.

Gimme 2 Top 100 position players, at least one a LHH.

Lol @ the bullpen. Again

That might be hard to achieve if in fact Crochet and Robert are not moved.

Congrats to him ....well deserved. BTW Aly...FG has his changeup at 70/70, so I would expect it to work on MLB hitters. Whether his other stuff works remains to be seen.

He had a very low BABIP earlier and now it's starting to normalize by going to the extreme in the other direction.

God forbid they let Schultz throw 5 or even 6 innings. Dude isn't even being challenged in AA, anyway.

114 mph at 18 years old....my God. Savage!

Happy they got the W for Crochet and Robert bombs are always great!

4-5 Top 100s.

10Ks. Filthy

Crochet with 9Ks. The bullpen will almost certainly waste it. Again.

Attaboy Oscar

This

He has limited value though right?

Chicago Tribune Opinion piece title tomorrow: I thought 14 White Sox losses in a row was rock bottom. Then I listened to John Schriffen flirting with a teen gymnast.

I feel that if Schriffen did hockey work on the side, he'd ask the color guy why the losing team is pulling the goalie in the last two minutes. He has a very rudimentary knowledge about sports (at best). He's basically just an airhead cheerleader (just like JR likes it).

He's an all star CF with double plus defense and double plus power under control for 3.5 years. They don't grow on trees. You're damn right I'm going to shred Getz if he doesn't get 3 Top 100s including one Top 10. If Robert has a strong month and a half and shows he's back, they absolutely need to get a massive return. If they get lowballed, then hold onto him till the offseason. The return for Cease was approximately 44m SV. I want alot more than that. Alot more. Like about 70m SV.
