Buehrle>Wood

Uh yeah 100%. Just read the threads here or on reddit

Obviously made-up by the Sox to justify the deal. Although it is sad that dumbasses couldn't figure out how to work an antenna forcing everyone to pay $500 a year for this.

Damn were broke again

Needs to be the pick if he's there but I doubt he is.

Royals going full Sox. You never go full Sox.

Assuming they dont get much, agreed. He's under control may as well keep him.

Incorrect.

Imagine calling 35th Street Red Hots shitty.

Claiming Cusick than immediately DFA'ing him is interesting. Guess they think no one else will claim him.

The people bitching about wanting to pay for a free product finally got their way. Unreal.

Guy with a Jesse Scholtens jersey here. I can only assume its Jesse Scholtens.

Should have sent him. Oh well Elko GS incoming

Dirty slide

Shuster pitching a yes hitter.

I like the waiver pick-up. Former first round pick, only 25 years old, big and can touch 99. Really like this pick-up. The kind of roster churning that should be done. ERA under 3, 10k/9 in the minors last year as a reliever so i would think they leave him there. Similar profile to Burke so maybe they try him as SP. Seemingly needs to throw strikes

Barrel rate definitely answers the first part of that. The numbers are also comparative, which is what I'm saying. His cumulative barrel rate, contact rate, and exit velocity are better than his fellow college hitting peers vs the same bad pitching (albeit he would face better pitching in the SEC). He had nice numbers in cape cod league using wood bats too.

94 mph exit velocity, 24% barrel rate, 80% contact rate playing in the SEC. Those combined numbers I would think put him above any college hitter position concerns be damned. Not to mention a last name that will print money for this franchise.

Our 2nd in command of scouting isn't a full time job?

Salary caps lend themselves to less parity, not more.

Any chance Masueto gets brought in as part of the new ownership group?

Any thoughts on Ike Irish? Looks like the best college bat to me and possibly available at 10. Seemingly legit power.

Who is crying over it by saying we'd like to see him back up? You are imagining a reaction that doesn't exist. The most "extreme" reaction in this thread, other than your own, even said he's like just a guy, something you agree with.

Do you think the Sox have him in their plans? You seem to be talking out of both sides there lol.

I dont know why the reaction to wanting Elko back is this extreme. I don't see anyone actually saying he's the savior . I want him up since he's an actual 1B who plays 1B. He can also hit for some desperately needed power. I don't believe 31 sporadic at bats were much of a showcase for anyone. If nothing ever comes of him, so be it, but it would at least provide value by pushing Vargas back to 3B.
