along the same vein: https://www.theringer.com/nba/2019/5/3/18527632/boston-celtics-playoffs-family Hard to read with dry eyes.

So anyway this is a fairly large setback.

I just want one game where we bunt every single time. Not much to ask.

Priester feels like a pirates pick

well, I am disappointed.

Millenial here: I prefer to watch games on my digital device with headphones in, not talking to anyone. Games are too expensive (ESPECIALLY PARKING, HARUMPH), not to mention the mayo on the foods! Plus I like to be taking selfie photography to upload to my friends on a SOCIAL NETWORKING device, and the WiFi at the baseball ball park is TERRIBLE. Also baseball is slow and my attention span is no

It would save them 2 million which they could bundle up to get to 3.6 million with their second round pick which is about top 20 money to get Priester. But keep in mind there are teams like the diamondbacks with multiple picks to bundle and pitching is VERY thin.

I'm pretty sure they would be pretty excited to be able to see their son play locally if he made it to big leagues. But sox and "underslot" to get a high target HSer when multiple teams have multiple picks? I don't buy it. I know they went under a bit for burger, but this has not been their M.O. and it's really risky if you have a specific target in mind.

I'd like tj sikkema in the third.

Here's my preferred top targets with no consideration for signability because that's hard Blake Walston LHP prep - 6'4, above average breaking ball Seth Johnson RHP Campbell - Big power arm and we have a real lack of stuff in org right now behind cease. Sammy Siani Prep OF - Mikes brother, probably a tough sign? Read he has quick hands and good athlete. Yordis Valdes SS - from Law's chat, said he's one of youngest in draft and a defensive wizard. Brooks Lee SS Prep - high bat speed remarks, flashy. Things I like to read - good bat speed, young, athletic, flashy.

I keep throwing out who I want, but who I think? I think maybe the UMich Pitcher Tommy Henry or (gulp) Logan Wyatt

One thing we know about soxtalk is the community dutifully staying on topic in every thread.

KEITH LAW HATES THE WHITE SOX WITH HIS REASONABLE TAKE

It's just an inconsistent team and when they are playing poorly it will be hard to win any games against any opponent and when they play good it's still only like a 60-70% shot they win. I think probably looking at a 5 game deficit.

JP you are the most meta poster

Yeah at some point his free fall will stop. I make fun of the obssessive krate stuff but Misner is so thoroughly at that 25% k rate that it's just hard to find many comparable pro players that struck out that much in college (even high k guys).

?

stuff like this still kills me: https://theathletic.com/957782/ Twins hire really smart front office, they model organization to be on same page all the way down to managers office, and will be able to get some immediate benefits with wins and stealing a division even before they get full traction.

Everytime I read this thread title my gut is that it's about how handsome we think they are.

I will say, from Law's draft, if there were to be a white sox high school pick this sounds like the most white soxian " 40. Tyler Callihan, INF/C, Pr ovidence HS (Jacksonville, Florida) -- Callihan can hit, but he lacks a position. He can really hit, though, with a smooth left-handed swing, bat speed to turn around velocity and enough loft to get to above-average power. And he really has no position, although to his credit, he has tried to catch some and isn't awful back there. I think the team that thinks he has some chance to work out behind the plate is the one that takes him, figuring even a 5 percent chance of a star is worth the shot.

We very well could draft Misner at 2 at this point.

Also there are other people in this world you could hire that don’t believe in bunting constantly.

I seriously cannot believe that people don’t remember how terrible the situation was around Ozzie and his sons in 2009-2011. He’s lucky to even be tangentially involved in Sox business.
