QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 9, 2017 -> 04:41 PM) The fact that he's a good story is part of the reason why he's overrated. Go ahead and cheer for him all you want, but I hear way more about him than other prospects in our system who also have backup ceilings. He's routinely on these sleeper lists and I'm pretty sure a certain poster here predicted Alvarez would develop into a top 100 prospect at one point. If it weren't for his interesting background, he'd just be another organizational guy IMO. There's like 6 posters that regularly post back here, so if anyone of them gets a crush it becomes disproportional. You can already see the soxtalk push happening for Delmonico.

They likely aren't scouting individual players, he was probably on a tournament (14 is freshman year) and they started scouting. The MLB draft includes high school players, so not sure why anyone is incredulous at white sox having scouting reports on them. If a player could be good enough to be top ten rounds out of high school, the scouts probably ran into them early in their careers. That doesn't mean they went to specifically scout that one player.

"Should have interest" Dude has no info.

I hadn't really dove in on Blake Harris because of some of the bigger names but he has some really fun highlight tape. Guess he plays out of control a lot but that team could have used his fun last year.

I think it's kinda ridiculous to say Alvarez is incredibly overrated and then lost his upside as a reserve infielder, which is basically the same opinion as those rooting for him. He's fast and has good OBP skills, and a good story. Not everyone people root for is because they think they'll be stars.

QUOTE (Tony @ Apr 9, 2017 -> 03:45 PM) Tim Anderson starts AB's down 0-2 He laid off two pretty borderline pitches and got screwed. Thought he had a good eye that at bat.

Davidson stay back. Get some wood on it.

Good slider to start for Santana.

Q worked really fast that inning.

Giants seem like a good melky fit if they aren't mad at him.

It's a game, and Saladino had back surgery in offseason. He may see off days a lot

QUOTE (Moncada @ Apr 9, 2017 -> 11:14 AM) Why do they need the traditional Sunday lineup, they have an off day tomorrow. Is sitting Davidson and Saladino really a Sunday lineup?

Enjoy seeing them try Melky leading off.

Sox would have their own statcast readings but doubt it would be released

Soto MiGo

And got a 400k salary at that.

Avi is the worst RF I've ever seen

Hughes looks so hittable can't believe we only have 1

Hell yeah Leury

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 07:39 PM) I don't know, but I did hear they were taking readings differently this season and it should result in higher velocity readings. Is that in stadium radar too? Thought that was just statcast.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 07:34 PM) I hate the new era emblem on the side of the hats. Oh?

Ah man. This game has been awesome. Saladino with a wicked play at 2nd

Man Tim got that ball out fast

Love the pitch cast from wgn. Pretty nifty.
