If it means the Sox get their dream pick in the second round, yuge. Imagine the decision.

-I’m uneasy with that concept of comfort level determining the #1 over all. -We don’t have knowledge of what’s going on with the Sox diving in to educate themselves on Lackey and his camp. How comfortable are they with Lackey? He seems pretty solid.

I get the infactuation with Roch. But not the idea of carving his name at #1 into granite while there are clearly legitimate emerging alternatives

Lackey has that A plus personality and leadership gene as well. Roch had the inside track from last season and the the familiar connection already established. But business is business for big time organizations

Slowly backing away Once human beings inculcate a good idea their worldview, it takes a while to warm up to an alternative view. But anyway, Lackey as a prospect went on an upward trajectory. Cholowsky plateaus in the Big 10. Momentum is real sometimes. Either way it’s nice

Man, you wonder if he pans out, but his trajectory has tracked as a player type who can. A young OUTFIELDER from the minors for the White Sox! Not sure this is allowed.

Bad team gets good overnight . Always a show stopper. And, every good White Sox team has that in common lol. Add to it being the redheaded stepchilds of Chicago baseball, that’s even more

If it’s a tie, don’t you think the Sox have more going on at SS/infield than they do at catcher? Teel is a nice idea, but so far he’s just that, an unreliable concept. Lackey shores up the catcher position. Bonemer and Carleson the infield.

THIS Edit: As I look again, It almost looks off the top of the wall. But it also looks like it landed on something very reactive in the pen that launched it into the stands

The White Sox have more personality than most teams out there. It helps

Will they erect Jerry Reinsdorf’s wallet?

Montgomery 2 looks like he lives in the weight room. Leg day is most days

Did they really just drop that without the list of names?

Your what hurts?

Getz is perilously close to getting a statue erected

I wonder what the success rate is for players that homer in their first game

They should keep Montgomery 2 and Gonzalez. Vote Acuna off the island

Montgomery 2 is an oppo field demon

All this bunt talk has me wondering who the heck invented that term

Say that real fast six times

It’s pretty safe to say the Sox should go shopping at the mall store for catchers and outfielders before infielders

There’s gonna be look back. Oh boy will there be.

Will Venable be willing to use Gonzalez in the outfield? If so, if Gonzalez continues his success, that’s gonna be tough to find enough ABs for he and BM both to justify the roster spot for one of them.

To talk about objections to Lackey for a second…Teel is anything but an established entity. You don’t base your #1-1 based on a whisper of a concept. Especially when you’re so loaded with young winning infielders already. Kyler Gordon is a cautionary tale.
