Finally, a Rikuu Nishida appearance

Yeah, at least a week of it

and sox might be wrong (obviously) but it's quite clear what they think about him. He has been in AA for like 4 years. Him and Perez were quite the duo for a while down there. perez moved up, he didn't. And then they chose Seby over Perez. And then they traded for a bunch of catchers. Maybe he's a 1b for good, he's got a productive milb bat, but his catching days in this org don't seem promising.

Yeah, he was older though

6 homers seems really big for DSL. I can’t remember anyone near that recently. Small dude too. I wonder if he can fill out more.

Fun pitching game there

Glad it wasn't mono!

I think the same stuff that led to getting Taylor I could argue would apply to Schulz, who also lost his senior year to mono or something. And their belief in Colson came from his improved approach in his last handfull of high school games. They don't really seem to care about small sample sizes if they've showed a new ability.

i'm fine with all of them going. I don't think anyone who grew up in this org could possibly lead it anywhere but where they've been.

Costs are a bit inflated due to having to retrofit it into a 100 year old building, and since it is landlocked, ensure all that square footage also uses extra space for classrooms, etc. But regardless, yeah, to me $35M for a capital project seems kinda cheap

yeah but ... as opposed to what

javier magollon is really on a heater.

def, that's how trades work

he's loyal to the people close to him, and he purposely keeps those close to him as just rich friends and their sons.

Man, not gonna lie, that doesn't seem that expensive? We are looking at a $100M pool in Oak Park.

Fwiw it was mlb pipeline that seemed to really go overboard with the bat first stuff. Law was opposite, more positive on his defense (but raw in game calling due to lack of experience) and unsure his power was real.

hope he doesn't have mono

great find!

And I do think even if JR or Hahn didn't care, it's likely that an employee at the "runs daycare" level may just be enforcing a rule of "can only accept kids on a list". There's just a lot of scenarios here, and an unlikely one to me is the executives making sure these level of employees (scoreboard keeper, daycare provider) are enforcing their grievances.

I get it, and maybe they are flexible, but I would imagine there is quite a bit of liability to watching a surprise group of kids.

This makes me nervous, as Kiley has been on the high side of all the most devastating sox picks.

Sort of. Remillards been pretty consistent and also I can’t even remember him being injured. He has less outfield versatility though, and less power. Him being like the exact player he was in AAA is surprising, sorta, but it’s why I thought he should have been up instead of Sosa for spells last year.

Not gonna comment until we get more from eminor. Really important.

Oh man what a night. Really hope Mena becomes an impactful pitcher for us. He’s always stood out as so different. First his collection of breaking balls for strikes, now learning how to go deep into games. Now let’s get some of these college pitchers to show as much

something you don't see a lot anymore, that chart showing how many of Benintendi's hits would have been homers at GRF
