Look at Ray Ray Run

Still blown away that the Nats traded Soto at all. Amazing. So bad for the game when these generational players leave Boston and Washington because of "money." Padres give up a bunch of guys who have done nothing for one of the 5 best hitters to start his career in MLB history --- and who hasn't even reached his prime.

I think the Padres clean up here. THey didn't give up a single proven MLB talent. It's a huge package, but Soto is a generational talent.

Apparently Juan Soto is not a guy the Sox would be willing to spend on. Guess they could trick Jerry into the idea that Ohtani plays two spots and they can go up to Jerry's Max for 1 player twice.

He's the 9th best qualified outfielder in baseball this year by WAR. Profar has been very good.

Profar would be second on the white sox in war.

Thor sucks, mahle can't be that expensive and im a big fan.

Why does luis need to go on a rehab assignment for light headedness. Smh

That prospect report is from 2020, before Brash really even pitcher professionally (not counting the 5 innings of his draft year). Most don't "still believe" he ends up as a reliever.

He's ALREADY been worth about 50 million dollars. I have no idea why he's "done." And it absolutely isn't a "terrible contract."

I would think Brash would have to be included from the Mariners side.

I'm a huge Vaughn fan, but this seems incredibly unlikely. Soto is YOUNGER than Vaughn. Soto has a chance to be one of the 3-5 greatest hitters of all-time.

There are a lot more pitchers over 6'8 (who played in the minors at least) in the past 30 years than I think we really assume; I don't have the full list in front of me, but the rate of success is incredibly low. Law said only 3 have thrown over 500 innings in the games history. If we're talking in the first round the sample size is smaller, but I think that dwindles down the list too much to be viable. Tall pitchers in general have always taken longer to develop. I think Alec Hansen is a lazy but great example of how difficult it is for big guys like that to maintain their delivery and their durability.

The reason I don't love the pick is that the bust rate is massive. Sure, if they hit they get a superstar talent, but guys his size just don't last as starters in the big leagues in general, and high school arms also are a very risky pick. The Sox love love love these huge ceiling arms, but with the exception of Sale none of them have really worked out and Sale was much more polished.

Vanderbilt abuses their arms too; don't want to miss that point. Sox are saving him from that abuse. That said, the NBA doesn't "artificially" cap earnings. The NBA players get a bigger share of the pie than MLB players so very difficult to be critical of the NBA structure.

Hes 6'9 too. Would be shocking if he debuted before 23-24

Never a big fan of high school sp's given their bust rate and with this kids size and thr general additional time huge pitchers take to develop, huge risk. At least elite upside I guess

Because I'm bias and wanna see it for first time in our program history, let's draft cermak!

This kid is a reliever in the making. Hes nothing like sale. He throws 91 mph lol

He has no where near Bryant's power or bat to ball skills.

Hes got a very kris bryant esquepath, and I hated it for bryant. He excelled with it but kris had more power and its been exploitable. Holes in the swing and prone to getting on top of the baseball.

Hate susacs bat path.

"i just love that the players are entitled and soft for wanting reasonable pay and living conditions, but said poster can't even read posts on the internet that he deems mean without getting his feelings hurt leaving the thread and blocking people." - Ray Ray

this place is a riot sometimes; call players entitled and ridicule them for wanting reasonable living conditions and pay - in line with federal labor laws; allowed and reasonable position in the eyes of the poster and moderator. tell a poster his brain is broken for ridiculing employees for asking for reasonable conditions - comment deleted and poster needs to block because his feelings are hurt. soxtalk 2022.

Jon Heyman sucks. If Ozzie knocked him out in a ring I'd give him a lifetime job as manager.

How Ozzie quit was laughable, no doubt, but guy is only manager who has brought us a title so I'm not gonna pretend like I'd rather have la russa. Ozzie is drama with fun. Right now we have drama with no fun.
