I've said this before, but arguing whether or not he actually is ready is pointless. If he's ready today, it doesn't help anyone to hold him down. He should be up today. If there's still something you want to see from him and it takes until the end of august to see it, probably just leave him down until next year.

Adolfo is already on the 40-man, but his injuries have allowed him an extra option year. Idk how the other two would work.

It's not curtains for the guy, but he has to go nuclear next year to give himself a chance. It's also now very unlikely he can stick at 3rd. I'd put his chances of making the bigs low, and his chances of ever playing a game for the white sox even lower.

The gap last year between Chapman and the second 3rd basemen in UZR last year was the same as the gap between number 2 and number 10. He was second in 2017...he played 84 games. He's a big cause of Semiens numbers looking so good, because he allows Marcus to shade his left. They guy has been absurdly good. Not trying to take anything away from Yoan, but he's not even really close to Chapman. Probably only Arenado is.

You lose control of the player faster. Maybe he ages through most of his productive years before ever having a chance. Is he going to be in a position to 40-man when that time comes? He should realistically be approaching the majors next year, and instead will just be getting started.

No but you said gold gloves : P It's going to be very difficult to impossible for Moncada to win until the A's decide they're done paying chapman.

They have 5 more top 50 prospects, including one Top 5 prospect. They might not all hit, but the core isn't just 4 people. Saying it is is being disingenuous.

You're likely getting nothing useful from a starting pitching standpoint with any of those guys. If you can great, but don't count on it. And don't chalk up not turning those guys into starting pitching as a failure of the FO.

Yup, I'm holding unless someone blows the doors off, and poking around for ML ready controllable talent.

Not as long as Chapman is in the AL. That dude is an all-timer

Well considering the Red Sox have a 3B having a better year not in the All-Star game, as well as the single biggest all-star snub, I'm going to have to disagree with this. Third base is stacked, it is what it is. We might have the least deserving player in the game, it's hard to complain about representation when that is the case.

There’s seriously no point in continuing to go over this. Maybe they trade someone else for an actually good pitcher. Cool, they win 81 games that year, maybe 85 the next two years. Awesome. Going over wouldas and couldas is useless.

Yes that’s what I meant.

Apropos of nothing, just noticed Madrigal is out OPSing Robert at this point.

7-8 on the stretch meant to put the white Sox back at the bottom of the league

Not if comes with 14 CS. He has the speed, but he is just not a good base stealer

Most talented guy they’ve had since...? Frank?

Someone else I’d rather see in that too

Moncada makes me happy

? is Luke Voit hurt?

Interesting to swing at everything while losing with an impending down pour

Would like to make sure is official anyway

Nah I like these, all their other ones are just slight alterations

Why game 1? Come on Jerry think of the money

This whole take is wild, but this goes to a whole nother level
