The same market that puts Bruce at a random A+ guy is what puts Santana at a not very good prospect.

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/08/2019-20-mlb-free-agents.html this had him as a free agent this upcoming offseason.

Oh, dude, I wouldn't give anything like that for santana. If you don't get him at the right price you move on.

The interesting thing to see when he arrives is how much he has progressed. Kiley mentioned he didn't even make area codes last summer in a not particularly competitive area. But the BA writeup and hostetler mentioned significant improvement in bat this senior year, but against crap competition. He's raw regardless, but will be interesting to see how his progression translates.

He's going to be 30 with one good year. If he's bad you move on. If he's good you get production.

That's why he's a stop gap.

Well, no, that would be a 2nd rounder.

Right, the velo is fine, but the problem is he ditched his 4 seamer and is just throwing a not very good two seamer (it doesn't drop enough to be effective). He is really not very good right now and needs to find a different way to get hitters out.

Saying Basabe will never hit 20 homers is crazy. He may never make big leagues, but there is definitely a big league version of him that hits 20 home runs.

I'm not sure I want to buy a long term OFer unless they are elite. I may just want to see if juiced ball domingo santana gets a year of stuff and see what becomes available.

I think Bumgarner could have a late career resurgence. Though, Farhan Zaidi is there so I'd expect better info to get to Bumgarner, and maybe he's just stubborn. But I hate the sinker/cutter mix he has moved to, and maybe there is a lack of control to it, but he just pounds the middle of the zone with them. Everything is down, and it diminishes his curveball. He still has great spin, it just seems like he overreacted to the loss of velo on his fastball.

They are never particularly good, but last year was a special kind of bad where they graduated nearly all of their 2016 class and had basically no 2017 class. The 2018 class had some more volume to it so this may be more interesting. Whether it ends up in wins, who knows.

BA put out their 2020 mock and the white sox aren't even on it so that's a kinda nice thing: https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/2020-mlb-mock-draft-way-too-early-edition/

it's kind of his thing, that and petrified fear of a player acquired being athletic as that may mean KW chose him. OTOH, lists are fun.

Texas I think a guy like Joe Palumbo is a good target for pitching depth, and hopefully could be pared with some of their bigger athletes, and maybe going after olseilves basabe.

The supply uncertainty and clear division leaders with the exception of nl central is what makes me believe few will jump gun. I think any playoff team is likely to view colome as a set-up guy (most playoff teams have very good bullpens) Boston and Milwaukee could be good fits as always. I don't think brice turang would be on the board but I'd be interested. For Boston, going after Tanner Houck and a guy like Gilberto Jimenez is acceptable return to me.

So this is updated, thanks to anyone that can help.

He'll probably get 125k, and I think sox work with guys to help them get degrees while playing.

Yeah I couldn't tell if Yeah I'm Going was definitely toward white sox. Alright let me pretty up the crappy draft tracker thread with all of em and open it up to goodies.

I'm hoping it's being done on Futuresox, otherwise we'll turn the crappy draft tracker thread I made and update it with the full 40 and open it up for comments and just crowdsource it. Am I crazy or did I see a future sox tweet last night that seemed to indicate Logan Glass was going to sign with sox?

I dont know that anyone is gonna jump ahead of July. Plenty of teams to buy from.

Well it’s not quite a 1:1 trade off. We would lose that slot amountz Thompson likely got a bit below slot, and that allowed going after our 3rd and 4th round picks. Without that additional million our draft is completely different. I also doubt that Kimberly would have made us a top 30 prospect.
