I think there was a fegan article saying they should get a few innings in AZL.

That’s awesome. Krogman sounds like he has an arm on him too.

Wow unexpected. Exciting!

dannnng you guys slept on Ronaldo Guzman’s line. 5 IP, 7 Ks, 1 BB, 2 H, 1 R.

Ha! Congrats to you

If you trade porter your starting wing is chandler Hutchinson. Lavine is ball dominant too, while surrounding him with carter, Porter, sato is a bunch of players who move the ball and theoretically will spread the floor. it would maximize the Westbrook roster.

A playoff push promotion with Madrigal would be nice for Charlotte who has mainly been at the poor end of those decisions and also always bad. congrats to Robert! What a freakin year!

Agree completely, though if they seek a trade hopefully it’s around Lavine with supplementary salary in felicio and Dunn. But he’s one of the weakest stars to acquire due to age, mileage, and playing style. But if you can get him without giving up your last three first rounders I guess it’s not terrible. I wouldn’t really go all out for Westbrook though.

I mean sure, but if he really had qualms about the lakers he could have just signed with the other teams without demanding they mortgage a half decade of picks and a young promising player for Paul George.

According to woj though, Clips pulled the trigger because they were convinced he was going to Lakers otherwise (much worse for them than going to Toronto)

I’m not sure the behavioral economics is main driver here, since there was not that much equity built up in Tatis pre trade. The main issue is it was terrible process. It’s easier to live with Matt Davidson not living up to the hope because it was good process. The Sox trading out a young trade chip just one month before apparently deciding to start a rebuild, and when it was clear the team was not viable at time of trade, was poor. Chisoxfn made this case at the time. Now, is this the 99th percentile outcome? Absolutely, but it hurts worse because it was such a pointless trade. It was not Hanley for Beckett.

From what it sounds like he was very close to going to the other LA.

Yeah Stiever has definitely entered as a name to watch.

Makes sense why they were able to get so much, Jae hi would have gone to tor or clips if they could land Paul George

He was actually HBP in the sixth

That said OKC got maybe the best package for a star ever there. That is a ton of stuff. That is all of their draft picks for *after* the contracts of these guys end and the unprotected Heat picks. OKC should probably just trade Russ and get it over with.

I think this is a good estimate.

quiet day for DSL but a walk for Bailey keeps his ob streak alive.

From Fegan's latest: The flood of new information: “At Oregon State we had a lot of reports, maybe even more than here.” (Madrigal says) ? https://theathletic.com/1062705/2019/07/05/the-white-sox-prospects-behind-birminghams-slow-turnaround/

I thought it was impressive that Palka fought back when sent down, but at this point he has shown he isn't viable and he doesn't have the talent that you wait stuff out for.

If we are going to define flip trades it has to be: - the trading of players acquired in the offseason at the deadline, when the player in question was acquired in the hopes of building their value to return other assets. Hard to call Rios a flip trade like that since he was on the sox for several years at that point. On the Leury front, glad he is finally being recognized. As he gets bumped from starter to bench, we would be looking at a player that can play all of the up the middle positions, provide good contact and a smidge of pop. That's great, I like it more than sanchez.

Getz does deserve credit for paying attention and integrating broader mlb trends into our minors. Considering the rapid pace of improvement or overhaul within player development currently happening, it will be difficult to know if the sox are keeping up. But they did not just sit on their hands and ignore it, so he does deserve some credit. But, when teams are supplying the same major league resources across their minors, we would see it impact the performance of the sox players in the minors if they didn't adjust. So to some extent the positive regression we are seeing in places like Birmingham, and anecdotal notes on Rutherfords video consumption in Fegans latest piece, are showing an org at least close to giving the prospects what they need. There is also just a sample issue here on the AZL that I've often come back to with whether the sox can develop young talent: they haven't really tried. so their notable mistakes are more notable because they are the only examples.

Yeah the reason I felt good about it was the power numbers they banked are good enough already to stand out. A lot of the hot starts last year were heavily average dependent. But Sosa stood out a few years ago being 17 and not striking out. These guys are hitting for power but k’ing. We’ll see how they finish.

Could be an estuiry ruiz type prospect

note this would not include Gladney's day today, where he hit his 4th homer.
