So Sox got an ace in 4-5 years if things pan out in Kelley, a solid #3 starter in Crochet (or lights out 2 inning Miller type) and another lefty reliever in the 5th that could make the majors. If they hit on all three this draft is a massive success. If they hit on 2, it's their best draft in years. If Kelley hits, then it was all worth it. Color me impressed for 5 rounds.

I thought the same about veen. these lucky pedigree mofos.

it's fine. He isn't BPA, so the philosophy bugs me, but after Sale, need to give them the benefit of the doubt on lefty evaluation.

soderstrom over Detmers? I say go BPA, but it will be interesting.

Absolutely. I know he gets a bad rap here...but him and Boers in their heyday were incredible. Between some of their feuds, who ya crapping, and the way they handled 911, he is indeed bulletproof. I always wondered why he didn't get more involved with White Sox broadcasting since baseball is a big deal to him. Interested to see who gets the gig.

My favorite Farmism. He will be missed.

If it's a White Sox world championship season...No Asterisk needed...😁

Trying to justify the trade?? Scouts outsmarting themselves? Just really dumb thinking?

Seeing Kopech break 100 that easily made my pants tighter. Is that normal?

Are the Sox legit contenders this year or 2021? If they feel their pitching health is strong enough...you keep him and try and grab a wild card and a lottery ticket. If they think Kopech and Rodon are not quite there...trade him and see what you have in Collins. This is the best approach for the future imo.

He will be. He will be on the fast track to replace Rodon, Lopez or Gio. That is why I loved the Gio contract. It gives him a real window to try and hit. I have him more as a really solid #2 over an ace though. His stuff is legit.

I can't remember a team that locked up its core like this without some absolute overpays. Obviously injuries and underperformance will hit, but what an absolutely great plan and off-season that Hahn and company put together. Future is so bright ...

In hindsight if Kopech ends up being a #3 or better Sox absolutely came out on top of that trade. Yes they won a world series...but his impact compared to 5-6 years of Yoan and Kopech tilts to Sox big time

Edwin is not going to suck though... especially in this lineup. Yermin is either trade bait or an injury replacement.

With all these pieces getting locked up...this core is sustainable and tradeable if they have future needs. I really like the thought. Some will work out...and I think Bummer does.

Unless he develops some launch angle power, I just don't see it with him though unfortunately

Is it wrong for me to think Robert is the righty version of Griffey Jr? He is a gazelle and literally has the best baseball body I've seen in years

Absolutely NOT. Teams with better advanced Scouting/Analytics would have a huge matchup advantage. This is a ridiculous idea. Seed them based on record and the and top seed plays the worst seed left. Simple as that.

This is awesome news. Twins stuck with damaged goods and no #3

Underpants signs with Giants. Dang, I thought he was a solid veteran platoon. https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/1225862411338551296?s=20https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/1225862411338551296?s=20

It's a tricky one. It's great to see the Sox trolling this dork...but now somehow...this dork will feel that he achieved his goal of getting noticed and make 20 more ridiculous trade claims. I am so glad to WFH today, as I can just laugh at this sillyness.

guys, pretty soon this twitter account will Cease to exist...amirite?

I agree...but that won't stop me from refreshing trade rumors for the next three hours now though. Night is compromised.

But at the end of the day we would still all skeet over it and this deal...

Exactly. This is a win win for 2020 and beyond for Sox. They either have to pony up another prospect or deal falls through - No Maeda for Twins and they have a "damaged" reliever prospect. Good news indeed.
