I know it's earlier, but I can't say I'm shocked Austin Wilson is struggling

I was hoping we'd grab him in the second round, but what do I know. Tyler Danish is much more exciting IMO, if only I knew of his existence in advance
To me, Casper has made some really nice contact today. I'd really like to see him put it together. The version of him that played for the Tigers had a good deal of promise.

I don't understand why it's blacked out on MLB.tv
I think there's some issue about locally broadcast games during FOX's special time
In the end, they just didn't have a great case. I think Zimmerman needlessly killed an innocent person and should be punished, but I'm not sure if our legal system is capable of doing that.

I still can't tell if Reed's quote at the end means he thinks baseball means more in Boston than it does for the White Sox

I think he's just referencing the fact that Thorty is now in the playoff/ring hunt. I have a feeling, as a pre-arbitration player, he can see how important White Sox games are

I think you are selling Pence a bit short. Pretty good player, probably seen his best days, but he'll get some offers. He'll do better in a smaller park.
I agree. I would really like to see him on the South Side
I certainly don't feel trapped by his contract. I suppose there isn't certainty that he'll be his old self, but we'll be getting something out of him for sure.

I really wonder if they're willing to go with a 4 lefty rotation for a full year. I might well do it, but I wonder if they're unconventional enough to throw that out there.
I think they know the splits well enough that two of the lefties dominate righties and struggle against lefties; therefore, not so unconventional

He's right though. This is the perfect opportunity to bottom out.
The opportunity to move up a few spots in the draft order isn't worth having big leaguers play badly or removing all the good big leaguers from the team.
