Look at Ray Ray Run

That's fine, and again I don't hate the picks, but high school players are riskier and getting draft picks to the big leagues to be productive is really the name of the game. I know we all want the next superstar, but getting average to above average big leaguers year after year is how you maintain success. Just like in everything sports related, the "unknown" always feels more exciting - which is what high schoolers are - but there's nothing wrong with getting big leaguers in the draft who might have "limited" ceilings which has proven to be a bunch of BS time and time again.

I've got to say, while I like getting a couple high school short stops the White Sox have been successful drafting for quite some time so all the fans pandering for them to change the way they pick is really confusing.

I stand corrected then; saw them post it the other day.

Yeah, he really looks out of shape..

Cali, I'm just messing with you but you can stop pretending you wanted Vaughn to be the everyday left fielder. You've written more words than Hemingway about how Vaughn wasn't the right guy for this team.

It only seemed possible to people who haven't been willing to accept that Vaughn was their left fielder and he was not going down to work on things. He was going to work on things at the big league level.

I'll say this, sure is good news that the Sox kept giving Vaughn his ab's vs righties so he could right the ship. Could be a monster second half from vaughny

You've demoted him or replaced him in the lineup 12 times already this year.

Couldn't pay me to take a high school righty who throws 100. I wouldn't touch high schoolers throwing that hard. Growing into velocity is what succeeds more times than not. Early velocity often times doesn't hold or maintain, or leads to injury.

I know nothing about the kid, but I like northern high school kids because they oftentimes can be overlooked tbe most. Sesms like a great athlete and I loved his swing.

I love people being critical of baseball draft picks.

It's the baseball draft. Top available if you like a guy is completely meaningless imo.

Nothing more undervalued in drafts than Northern high school kids! Less reps means more to work with and grow from.

They're pretty damn far apart. You start off in a 17.5 run hole as a dh vs a 7.5 run role as a LF'er. A -9 run LF earns more positional value than a DH

Bomb city

Even if your idea is to have Eloy DH most of the time, he's still going to have to play the field on occasion. Not going to win a World Series with Eloy on the bench because he can't pick up a glove anymore.

I like all birds of prey, even those who are scavengers!

Yes, sox had to pitch kopech I'm a blowout for 15 pitches to build up his arm strength. You are very very smart .

AL East Juggarnaut

You know Foster is still my guy!

Uh ok champ. I didn't make any claim.

And since he came off the DL he's thrown 11, 15 and 15 pitches. You insinuated he'd go multiple innings tonight, it's OK to be wrong guy. Next.

Foster is BACK!

You take it back!

Well he's already done after 1 inning so..,, The actual results and usage are whom Kopech isn't a guy you try and "get work" when he can't work like a normal reliever,
