Ignominious

-The margin for error for Cholowsky is dropping to where this might just be a 50/50 coin flip. There's a lot of industry buzz that Grady Emerson is preferred by some key White Sox evaluators https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/48899402/2026-mlb-mock-draft-20-kiley-mcdaniel-predicts-picks-white-sox-rays-twins-giants-pirates

That’s crazy. There was no offense that we knew of.

Colson is the SS home run king

I’ll apologize to Getz. But Jerry can go get stuffed. Blind squirrel, nut finding bastard.

The entire episode highlights that the poor kid is totally blocked unless the Sox make a trade or 2.

If he’s up to hit homers, I guess it’s right. Its just a weird circumstance to bring up a SS, second baseman to play 1B is all.

I guess. But not sure what the point is of Gonzalez if he’s just playing first base.

He looked like Kelenic rolling over second base

The Sox FO having a “rare win” shouldn’t be connected with Hahn or Kenny. The Getz FO is basically executing a textbook dump and pump quite successfully. Sox fans were understandably suspicious and impatient. But aside from having a public hallucination over Acuna, this is a good look.

That can’t be real lol. But Big Frank was probably hitting .290

“Don’t spend money” in general never became popular

Getz was crushed for the trade return. Not fair. I had wanted to play him though, and not trade. I was wrong. Getz played it as well as possible aside from the peak value argument

Cmon guys. Cubs fans overrate their players. Not us!

LOL, we got arrogant fast 😝

At least PCA is still a national punchline atm.

Unfortunately for Sox fans, the process by which the White Sox have done evaluations has been a problem in terms of results. There’s not necessarily any problem atm with the process right now that we are aware of in terms of Roch Cholowski and the rest. Just that the what the Sox like to do historically hasn’t necessarily served us well. Anyway, Roch Cholowski plateaued right when people were asking about the size of his upside. He’s pretty dang good though, obviously. The relative upsides of the guys at the top of this draft are worth exploring as alternatives. When you’re drafting 1-1, are you trying to be safe, sure, or are you trying to reach for the most explosive outcome possible? If the Sox were trying to be safe with Smith over Griffin, this time, many of us will regret the outcome again if it repeats, and the Sox were over consecutive.

Life comes at you fast. Can’t be sitting still at an older age when these young kids are coming up showing out and expect not to be challenged for the top. Even still being the favorite.

I think people just wonder why Roch is not hitting .400 like Lackey is, as noted above, against easier pitching. As I was mentioning, hype is leaking off his previously hyped profile a number of months ago. If Roch had the same physical package as Justin Lebron does, plus Roch’s current production, the hype would likely still be intact.
