Well Trout wasn't that far off from that. But that was for a brief period and he was, ya know, the number one prospect in baseball.

If Adam Engel turns into a competent starter I will eat my hat. I would honestly be shocked if he gets a chance beyond this season.

The guy was never a prospect and there is a reason for that. You can't just turn every guy who can't hit major league pitching into Mike Trout.

The difference between Yoan Moncada and Adam Engel is that one was given 30 million dollars as soon as he stepped on US soil and was almost immediately the consensus number 1 prospect.... and the other is Adam Engel.

He's had a few leg issues, but the serious stuff has been the hand

They're a better team this year. It's not readily apparent in the record because of a few bad games from Yolmer, and some of the shakier guys in the bullpen, but it's getting there. They're pretty close to getting back to where they were before trading everyone which is step one. Also for everyone who said the White Sox are a historically bad team, I hope you paid close attention to that game, because oh my God the Orioles are bad.

Having dead last as it's own choice was a dead giveaway btw

So Nick Burdis arm blowing out again probably doesn’t bode super well for our friend

Is delmonico thinner or is that just me?

Still looks better than Santana

First pitch looked like meat on game day though.

Please don’t start doing that again moncada

I was a baby during his peak. I saw a lot of very good Thomas years, but not THE years

Yup. Right now they seem to have gotten back to where they were, or least close to it. If there's not multiple division titles before Moncada walks, I'm going to be miserable watching the best player I've ever been able to remember their whole career go into the hall in another hat. (assuming he gets back on track)

This is what I meant

That's a negative, ghost rider

Now that he's officially free, there's absolutely no reason the sox shouldn't try to bring him on board.

How much better are their odds to win their division? I'm guessing that's the reason for that. I don't think you could argue the Twins are better than either of those teams but they don't have to compete with 3-4 legit playoff contenders.

Because good enought maybe win the central isn't very good. The Twins will be a probably be competitive, but they're not going to be some kind of monolithic obstacle.

That’s damning with faint praise if I’ve ever seen it

Tying Pillar getting traded to using a slur seems like one hell of reach

I agree with that. But I could see Bronn shwoing up right before the battle and pulling an oopsie look what I did during the fracas

I believe so. I keep hearing Posey with him.

Grey Worm, Ser Brienne, Lyanna Mormont all got the literary kiss of death last night. I'd bet the house on all three of them dying either next week or the week after. Pod is the next most likely after those three. I think Bran told Tyrion that he and Jaime were toast as well. Also, I think this episode was great, but it should have been the first one.

Rutchsmann probably doesn't need a ton of minors time, yeah?
