Fans of the rebuild will give EVERY benefit of the doubt to the guys we've acquired in trades. That is part of how great it is to be a GM doing a complete rebuild.

You guys are nuts. Stone and Bennetti are so cordial with each other they are a delightful broadcast team. These 2 guys are giving us a fine broadcast. Bennetti forever!

Smith at catcher could be the key. How many pitches has Gio thrown? One more inning, baby and he gets a gatorade shower. Gio is back baby!

Just think if Gio can get six more outs minus a run. It would be an amazing DH for starting pitchers. Kudos to Lopez for allowing one hit. Suck it up Gio. Have yourself a ballgame.

His fastball doesn't explode ... yet

I won't make fun of anybody, not making fun of Burger. Just saying he was a chubby third baseman from Missouri State. Poor guy has his work cut out.

Gio has a chance to have a quality start. Nice.

Fathom said it so he must feel that somewhere in his brain: Lack of a superstar at 4. I have nothing against Mr. Madrigal and Mr. Walker and Pilkington (top three picks are the ones that yu have expectations for) and I wish them well and hope they are great. But the Sox make it easy for anti-draftniks like me every year. Last year they take a Missouri State ballplayer at No. 1 for goshsakes (again I wish him well in his recovery; I'd buy him 10 beers if I could) and this year, tell me why greg shouldn't yawn. This isn't meant to be negative. Again I take the draft for what it is and hope our first 2 picks do well. Like I said I want Ws. But the biggest W ... you tell me W(hy) I should be doing handstands and want to sacrifice wins for No. 4 pick overall?

I hate discussions of a player's weakness when it is shrugged off by saying other players make up for that. Other players IMO have nothing to do with Madrigal. Judge him on his own skill set. It's silly to say he has an absence of power (a negative) and shrug it off by saying we'll have other players supply the power. Who cares about that? Heaven forbid the other guys get injured or something. If Madrigal's lack of power is a problem it's a problem.

I'm glad you guys all love Davidson now. I worshiped him last year as well.

I'm surprised after yet another yawn of a draft people continue to clamor for draft picks over W's. Give me W's baby.

What would be wild is what you were kidding me about. I'm surprised you can't go back and forth in a gender neutral zone or whatever you called it. If you re-read your post that faked me out, it was something I could totally see being legal. Flip flopping back and forth. You lost me a bit when you mentioned getting promoted faster as a woman, then getting in line for the restroom as a man. Anyhow your fake post was kind of genius for 2018. I could see it.

Sports and politics mixing so much is kind of divisive. Not gonna change with Trump in office unfortunately. It's probably best the teams don't go visit. Just think if they visited the White House and snubbed Trump while on the grounds? Or gave speeches blasting Trump, etc. Even more divisive.

Sox have been so bad defensively throughout modern history with a few exceptions. I guess the 05 team was pretty good defensively. Don't know about 59. The 77 team might have been one of the best in baseball history if it could catch the ball.

Hey where u live on south side. I'm a Brother Rice dude.

Wow I did get faked out. I admit I believed rabbit. I was confused, though. Cheers. I got duped.

Palka's last homer vs the Brewers was one of the hardest hit balls I've seen in a while. Watch the guy in the stands. The ball was uncatchable and it was deep in rf stands. He's intriguing.

Nope. Nobody will ever have to hear/read greg's opinions on the pick. Who'd we take in round two?

You'll be happy to know I am gonna decline comment on our first round pick.

Hey rabbit, I read your post a couple times and am confused. I did not know you could pick your gender legally. So what you are saying is the opposite of prejudice in society? You actually are more likely to be promoted when some would think it would be hard to get hired. So if you are gender fluid, what do employers consider you? Are you a woman at work? Or a man because you have the traditional man part. Did you legally get deemed a woman or gender fluid? So gender fluid, legally you can be a man or woman on any partic. day? Good luck to you. It sounds confusing.

Sounds pretty cool and interesting to me. More questions coming.

Definitely. Burger? Great pick (sarcasm). If not for the unloading of some players, the rebuild would be impossible with the Sox record in the draft. You are right. They on paper got a haul for Q, Sale, Eaton, Robertson. Those guys we got in those deals are the core of the rebuild plus Moncada and Robert.

Some of you need to grow up and accept what Shields said. Not everybody agrees that losing as many games as possible is healthy for the sport and healthy for the White Sox even.

I love ptatc but despise the last sentence. It's very sad when a GM builds a team to lose as many games as possible when the reward is something as silly as a BASEBALL DRAFT PICK. The one draft that doesn't mean squat normally, especially with an organization that has picked the wrong guy so many times and has a problem developing guys. Makes me sick.

I didn't really understand rabbit's post on his gender. Anybody wanna translate in terms a low IQ greg can understand?
