Really? I like Law, but he wouldn't be in my top 100 in regards to what you are citing. He's not an originator in this world; he's an applier and an evaulator and that is fine... but I trust plenty of people/numbers more than Keith Law. For a publicly accessible, "free," resource I'd say he is in the top 5ish but for readily available tools at your disposal if you're willing to pay, he doesn't even compare.

Sox @ Boston, 6:10
Hes 26 years old. Sometimes, as guys get more reps they improve. Could he be a 120 guy? Surely he could be, since he's been it for half a season of play in his most recent half season. There is nothing that screams lucky about his outcomes so far either. My fault if I misred your point.

Sox @ Boston, 6:10
Lol if abrams is ever 1/2 the player tim anderson is I'll eat my shoe for you caufield. I love how he'll struggle to do something the rest of his career that he's comfortably doing this year. It was just a matter of time until the Tim haters started to come out.

Sox @ Boston, 6:10
He was near it but he absolutely was not vocal. He's moved around a lot so I definitely give him a pass but that was on Yoan. If I'm running down a ball in the left centerfield gap with runners on base, my left fielder is yelling a base for when I come up with the ball. Either cut, 3 or 2. I'm not finding the ball and then finding the runners. That takes too much time. If the play is not in front of you, your teammates should be guiding you.

Sox @ Boston, 6:10
Thinking anderson should have seen that third was the play there is an interesting take. This one is on Yoan - he needs to be yelling 3 there. That ball was hit deep enough in the hole that anderson cant be taking his eye off the ball to check third and he did not have any time to check it before the play to one. Yoan needs to be aggressive and loud there as he is Timmy's eyes on that play because tim had to focus on the ball.. since that's kinda important and all.

Sir said theres no chance he hits 300 in his career.... yoan better slow down a little.

Banuelos to IL; Fulmer recalled
Well if we're going to start citing 12 game samples that are capped off with ASG MVP's then we should probably stop assessing a prospect. The bulk of his work is certainly more important than the 12 game sample you are pointing too.

So he's every young batter alive?

The Tampa Bay/Montreal Rays
Just to clarify. The sox were never "close" to moving there. It was never anything more than a bargaining chip. It's amazing how many took that threat seriously.

You're talking like a 12 game sample.

Banuelos to IL; Fulmer recalled
Why shouldn't Robert be up? I really don't understand the Robert logic... Robert is young for his level and has been dominant all year. He's a freak of nature with MLB talent right now, and he needs to learn and adjust at the MLB level. AAA really does Robert no good because the hitting environment is so pro-offense. He'll strike out a lot early in his MLB career, but the guy is ready and would compete at a very high level in the big leagues. Robert has less than 600 professional at-bats so I understand wanting to see a bit more but the fact that he ONLY has 500 professional AB's and he's this damn good is more supporting evidence that he should be up and not the other way around. He's already made fast adjustments to pitchers. Robert, right now, would be our best center fielder.

RF options are bleak...any other ideas?
Cordell at least is a good defensive outfielder. Tilson blows as does palka.

Rick Hahn and his Trades
Rick deserves flack for his shortcomings undoubtedly - the draft still hasnt shown anything for him yet and his FA signings have not been great. But... let's talk about Rick's trades and the risks he took trusting his team with the talent they still saw. Eloy Jimenez and Dylan Cease for Quintana. Could he have possibly gotten a better package? If Eloy continues to grow and Cease is even a back end guy this is a steal assuming Eloy is the player he has shown he can be. I'd say no. Eloy a franchise offensive talent and cease just needs to be good enough to start for this to be a huge win. The Chris Sale trade will never be lopsided. Sale is too good for that but if he netted a 4-5+ WAR 3rd baseman for 6 years and a 3 starter (which is conservative) with a 2-3 WAR in Kopech then both sides win and Hahn looks sharp for him moving that talent into his window. The Adam Eaton trade. This could be an all-timer. If Lopez finds consistency or dunning bounces back, adding onto the fact that giolito alone would more than enough, this turns into an all time trade win. Giolito was trending downward but the arm talent was there. The Sox love the term arm talent in their organization. They maximized this one and now need to find that potion with reynaldo We can hate on Hahn and we can claim he had great assets but plenty of guys have traded away great assets for nothing. It looks like Hahn has traded his assets for the exact right pieces. Kudos. Go Sox.

Thru and thru. Some great tweets in his past.

Sox vs Yankees 6/14 - 7:10PM
Just in case people forget. 22/23 year old kids can be inconsistent and should be judged more so on their best showings when they outweigh the bad ones. He should be having and working through his remaining struggles at the big league level.

Sox vs Yankees 6/14 - 7:10PM
First time through. Scouting report shows heavy change. Mix up the report first time through and show them something else, mix in change lightly 2nd time through and then change/fb heavy 3rd time through after you changed their thought process with sliders and fastballs early.

White Sox ratings: up 40% on TV and streaming up over 100%
Theres not a bad seat in house. I have sat in the front row to the side of the visitors on deck circle for 60 bucks a ticket. You can sit in the outfield for $15. It is cheaper to go to a Sox game on a lot of nights than the movie.

I use DirectvNow but when they are on WGN you dont get the game. Dtv now has some great deals and discounts and is a better streaming service than the others out there right now imo. Honestly though - reddit.com/r/mlbstreams if you want to stream and not pay.

White Sox ratings: up 40% on TV and streaming up over 100%
People have been asking me all week if I can get them reasonably priced tickets for Sunday (Fathers Day). I had to buy my wife and MIL tickets to join us on Sunday and for the first time in as long as I can remember I had to pay over $110 per ticket and when I asked my guy about just giving me 2 extra, the only thing he could do is upper deck tickets. It's a good thing, even though itll be a lot of yankee fans too.

I think if you go back and look at ratings, this number was much closer together before the recent demise of the Sox and escalation of the Cubs. I imagine this will grow closer together, again, as the Sox continue to improve.

And that's a Eloy Jimenez Coming Out Party White Sox Winner
Yes, but sadly in the financial world the people whom it does apply to have an inordinate amount of power and wealth regardless of results. The definition of success in big business has evolved so much in the past two decades - nearly all of the evolutions and changes have come at the expense of the vast majority of the working class. I will do much more work at my job today than I am likely to do in 10 years when my salary is 250% greater. That structure is broken in my opinion and I'll save the remainder of those thoughts to remain on topic.

Nick Madrigal promoted to Birmingham
With his speed and hit profile, a normalized league average BABIP would be very surprising. He profiles with his speed and hit spread to be on the high end of BABIP outcomes.
