Mike Shirley compares his swing to Bryce Harper. X (formerly Twitter)Chuck Garfien (@ChuckGarfien) on XRoch Cholowsky and Landon Thome got all the headlines, but a scout said White Sox second round pick Cole Prosek “was the next best hitter in high school behind Grady Emerson.” Mike Shirley compares h

I have no answer on Perira's concussion, it is disturbing and beyond baseball my hope he will be ok. Assuming he does come back he would be an upgrade over Perez against LP. Shane Smith has been getting back to his old form as of late and would be a nice addition. I would take Q over Romo right now.

that will work

Montgomery was also doubted on his SS ability, and he passed that test with flying colors.

I am thinking Pope Leo appoints Roch a Bishop in 2026. Next season after the WS parade the Pope bumps him up to a Cardinal.

A healthy Shane Smith, Everson Perira, and Edgar Quero added to the roster isn't looking so bad. So many sellers are now either buyers or holding steady.

I thought I heard Shirley basically saying, not his exact words, if catching is going to impact Prosek's bat development he would consider other positions, possibly corner OF.

Extending Mune would be a good start and requires no draft capital.

add 3% if Getz put it on a credit card.

Ohhhh baby, a healthy Shane Smith will be an asset .

I thought I heard Jim Callis say he would rank Roch #1 as Whiter Sox top prospect over Bonemer.

Landon Thome was in attendance at the Cell for his dad's 500th home run. Speigel on the Score had Hawk Harrelson's call and mentioned that Landon was in the womb at the time, cool story.

That took me by surprise to see Hicks deal like that. This team can be an enigma, you think you know but you don't know.

Would you put the A's, Angels, Royals, and Reds as probable sellers?

Jimmy is going to be on the Score at 10:25 with Spiegel

Putting the band back together, sort of :)

White Sox select Landon Thome with second first-round pick in 2026 MLB draft - Sox Machine Thome isn't as large as his dad as we know him, but his listed height (6 feet) and weight (185 pounds) are similar to Jim's at the same age. And while the elder Thome mostly DH'd with the White Sox, he was also a shortstop when he was 18. Landon Thome will likely need to find a different position down the road, but he has the athleticism to stay there for now, as well as the baseball IQ

I think the Sox got great value for trading Gonzalez for the 34th pick and the bonus pool money . Having the #1 pick and all the money that came with it was the perfect time to restock their minor leagues.

Go figure, I am shocked someone didn't blab that out.

Sox Machine pointed out that Jim Thome at 18 was a SS and his height and weight was very close to Landon's. Landon is listed at 6'0" 177, a growth spurt is probably to be expected.

This should be required reading for how the $ come into play on the trade. Jimmy is dialed in and breaks it down.

Gonzalez was blocked at SS, 1st, and DH. If he batted right-handed it could have been a different story

We got the post of the year, that is a classic.

The Sox have the #1 pick and a boat load of money with the bonus pool. I wonder if this scenario will ever happen again under the present system. Now is the time to push your chips in on getting additional draft capital. Something really good is happening, "Sit back. Relax and Strap it down. "
