Passing. Length. Youth.

good article from Jim on this: https://www.soxmachine.com/2019/06/16/the-white-sox-just-saw-what-an-opener-can-do/

I'm just here for the eloy dingers. Will stay for the TA dingers.

Yes, I think teams will value hitting an .850 OPS as a 24 year old and forgive his .715 ops as a 22 year old. He will get a good bit of value back.

Danny Chau has him as 14 overall on the ringer and 17 overall for Jonathan Tjarks.

Oh I didn't know it had minor league data

Where are you getting these? BA?

We talking about the same Wilson Contreras?

His size is insane

It is so annoying how few games milb works with now. I don’t understand why mlb farm updates so much better?

Rodriguez now 2-2, I think with a triple. Beard had a sac fly. AZL up 6-0

DJ Gladney And Osik with their first hits. Jose Rodriguez added a single and CS. Beard 0-1

Well the AAA stats for starters are abysmal so he must be worst catcher of all time.

I’ve seen basically everyone’s lists go all over and this site has done solid work in the past.

Both Lavine and porter can be dumped as needed and likely get some value back.

Last year when Frazier was struggling with concussion symptoms and couldn't return to the field? I appreciate someone putting forth a worse trade proposal than mine at least.

I like him. I again am very nervous about trade ups. However, if all teams feel that way then trade ups may be cheaper than normal. But I don't know that I like the trade-off of (hypothetical) Lavine, 7th for Ball, 4th. Though, it is a bit closer as I put it through my head, I admit. If we get brogdon with the extra cash, and then maybe acquire Clint Capela...that'd be an interesting group.

Nooooo I forgot Harold!

oh I see. Yes I also like Gilberto Jimenez.

I found this very convincing: https://www.thestepien.com/2019/06/05/draft-notes-argument-culver-better-play-rj/

Literally just has his two worst outings of the year that explode his ERA and goes on the DL with a shoulder strain and soxtalk throws a parade.

Yeah, and let's not compare him even to McCann level defense but of Castillo, who was among the worst rated defensive catchers this year. Catchers in terms of framing have improved quite a bit so the worst isn't nearly as bad as 5-6 years ago. Even if he's a bad catcher, if he's Wellington Castillo bad but can provide offense than that's fine with me.

Wait, so if this is the type of return you are talking about for colome I definitely think he can return players like that, but honestly I do not like hernandez.

I'm assuming your third slashes are OPS but I am hoping that we get some years from Collins that are similar to what you are seeing out of Joc Pederson this year. Joc is slashing .233/.335/.565. If in his peak years if he can really leverage his power by being selective and focusing on pitches he can drive, you would see a very productive player essentially driven by walks and power even with a low avg.

the, uh, dead guy?
