FanGraphs Baseball2026 Mock Draft 1.0With the Draft set to kick off Saturday, who’s going where in the first round? Plus, updated draft reports have hit The Board.

Funny that Perez even got a shot. But that’s what happens when you have a couple injury-prone outfielders in Hays and Pereira.

Wishful thinking. Some team will offer more than a post-hype no bat utility man with no options left nearing 25 years old for Webb. Regardless, I don’t even think the Sox will be interested in Webb due to the money remaining on his deal. They aren’t paying Webb more money for the next 2+ years than they did for Murakami. Remember, Jerry still owns the team over the next 2 years. If they acquire a starter, it will be a much cheaper guy than Webb.

It’s gonna suck if they take the wrong guy. I honestly don’t see the Sox taking Emerson over Roch with where the team is currently at, but Lackey being a better player than Roch would be brutal. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/49310240/white-sox-say-3-candidates-no-1-pick-mlb-amateur-draft

@DoUEvenShift told me he already called in from the game and used Larry David’s line…

PCA with 2 HR and a BB today. Getting close to a 6 WAR on the season already. He is still striking out a lot but he has also improved his walk rate greatly. Numbers on the season… .296 .386 .542 .928 21 HR 52 RBI 23 SB A 40/40 season might not be a stretch.

Kitboga is hilarious. “WHY DID YOU REDEEM?!?” Good stuff...

Yep, the propane tank hangs on a hook on the right side and is hidden by two steel panels, front and rear. You can access and see it from the right side of the grill, right by where the grilling utensils are hanging.

Sweet. My old Weber gas grill finally died so I just bought this nice Weber Genesis II GS/4 on Facebook Marketplace for $250 with a half full propane tank. I also nabbed a new Weber Charcoal bowl grill from Home Depot on a July 4th sale for $99. I’m all set now. https://www.homedepot.com/pep/Weber-Original-Kettle-22-in-Charcoal-Grill-American-Flag-in-Green-with-One-Touch-Cleaning-System-1502395/340383482?clickid=16qy9XyuTxyZW8%3ASH62bw0QbUkuVg0X5zWAI2c0&irgwc=1&afsrc=1&cm_mmc=afl-ir-10451-483420-

Well, that too. 🤣 I’d say both injuries and all of the starting pitching talent have cases of the walksies.

Well, we all had visions of great starting pitching depth, but then the injuries struck… as they almost always do for the Sox.

Name a better cleanup hitter than Meidroth!

He did a great job with Tristan Peters. He also did a great job with acquiring Vargas, who I was very wrong about. But what I said is still true. He still burns $30 million each offseason on crappy free agents. But that’s pretty much free agency for you unless you are going after the no brainer top talent, or getting luck with fliers like Peters.

Epitome Sports Management. https://legacy.baseballprospectus.com/compensation/cots/american-league/chicago-white-sox/

Even PCA knows not to post soccer threads in the “Pale Hose Talk” forum.

I get Peacock, Hulu, and Disney+ for free through Xfinity.

Getz tried to extend him last offseason and he turned them down. It has already paid off. I’m sure he plans on going to free agency in three years unless the Sox offer him a sizable extension.

That isn’t quite the quote… @DoUEvenShift?

Only the Caulfield knows…

LOL, thanks Guardians!

It’s an annual routine for Getz. He usually sets fire to around $30 million each offseason.

I’m still laughing about @vilehoopster’s save percentage argument.

Getz couldn’t identify a good reliever if his life depended on it.

Yikes. Sox still taking that DICK in Cleveland.
