I think he is starting against Oakland it all goes well.

I am fine with any of the choices - including a surprise Flora selection at max discount.

Somehow white Sox…shock me and pull this one out. You can do it Chicago!

Flush it - get em back tomorrow.

I guess question is do they think he goes this week or is it a bit longer. No comment makes me worry there was a set back or he is still at least a week away…in which point…best case he rehabs and is back for first game after the all star break.

I’m pulling myself back - Roch or a pitcher.

Horrible red in my mind - no intent. Clear yellow. What a game…let’s go USA!!!!

Fantastic news

Is that you implying it is so strange as if they are keeping it quiet? Feels like one thing has been achieved, 2 months ago we didn’t think Sox would have leverage at 1 to get a material under slot deal (it was always going to be at least a bit under)…but now they just might. How good of a prospect is Flora? I’ve just been focused on the bats cause it feels like with Roch, Lackey and Emerson they all have that hit tool.

Feels like either a rehab assignment or an activation are coming soon. Hoping silence is good news vs. there was any form of a set back.

I expect them to be bad - hope is this keeps us out of the relegation. If they surprise, great, than you have flexibility with these deals to have capacity to throw in chips at the deadline (or in the off-season). If it takes a bit longer, you pull the options on these deals and you basically do another year of stacking assets and have max cap space and flexibility in 2 years (the only wrinkle is that awful Patrick Williams contract). But this year is basically development and stacking more assets, assess than next off-season if you want to start moving chips in..then great, if not, do it again and they have lots of flexibility in how they do it and get another year. Note: If they are sitting in 7 spot (like in terms of worse teams) or something and Powell is playing good - he should be very flippable for an asset and you can do it knowing you should be out of the relegation zone.

Even better - 2nd yr is a team option.

Powell to Bulls using last of their cap space. 2yrs 45M. Solid shooting move at position of need. Quality vet and anti relegation love. I think we have just the room MLE left.

I know everyone is saying Warriors - but I'm going to throw out Cleveland and Heat as well.

I think the club should do a bit of both - get him starter innings in July and maybe even into August and than look at where he is inning's wise and use him in the pen potentially to control things. Feels like that was always the plan - cause there are innings limits - but him getting shut down for part of the year certainly slowed it down.
