MiGo out for year (9-12 months)
Another great free agent class.

The worst game attended during the worst season in my lifetime as a Sox fan
The Rodon-Yankees game in 2015 where it was like 13-2 after 3 innings (which were like 3 hours long) and laroche eventually pitched. That was bad. Also was right after they stood pat at the deadline since they were now "in it" and this was the start of a free fall.

And it doesn't translate to finishing at the rim at all.

Hutchinson in so many ways reminds me of a taller Denzel Valentine.

Knox was ID'd as one of those players where the college style (and what Calipari asks of his wings) set them back compared to the spacing and options of the NBA. I really like what I've seen with Carter, his defense has been plus plus and he finishes with both hands and variety of moves. This looked like it was a pretty good draft class so far as a whole.

State of the (Injury-ravaged) Sox Farm System
https://theathletic.com/427401/2018/07/11/state-of-the-injury-ravaged-farm-system-checking-in-on-the-white-soxs-top-prospects/ Was reading this and couldn't help but laugh. As guys get injured you kind of move them out of the mental model of the farm, and then you read the start of the year list in full and I couldn't help but guffaw at our luck this year. 6 out of the first 10 injured, many significantly. And the further down you go it never "clears" up. These are trying times

Regardless, it's better to have a seat at the table then not.

Jose Rodriguez is at DSL, he had a 1-3 day with a double and is picking it up after a slump. Sosa is at great falls (and NEVER SLUMPS)

Yeah and 3 for sheets himself

Nice Basabe game, 1-1 with 2 bbs. He’s been picking it up a bit.

He wouldn't play here, you absorb the cap and buy him out and get an asset.

FS: AZL in-person game report - updates on Madrigal & Walker, video of others
Even if he's not a top 80 sox prospect right now, the plan for coronado given his age and power he showed last year is not my favorite.

Yeah. Not gonna lie the madrigal stuff is weird but mostly a factor of the part of the org that doesn't feel need to give media updates on it. He's not hurt, but also he's not playing and they decided to give him a week off after one game after he said he's ready to go...got it.

We knew Steele was hurt though. An injury ended his season.

Actually, I can't seem to figure out where that 19 mil came from. Using Shamsports capulator and renouncing vonleh/arcidiciano, and signing lavine, that gets them to 12.5 mill under. Add 2.5 mill for the Grant trade. So, seems like it's around $15 mill. Add 8 mill from Felicio and that's 23 mill, and at that point I think that gets you in the clear. One thing the trade calculator says we have is an 11 mill trade exception from the Mirotic trade, so not sure where that could come into play.

I think this is a trade machine problem. Bulls should still be around 19 mill below cap, not 4 mill as it shows. But you can’t do all the renouncing of contracts to make it work there.

7/7 Games
Not really but they graduated basically everyone to the states this year, and did not have much of a 2017 intl class. The best signing is already stateside. Typically they’ve been bad but this is worst it’s been, and it will be better next year. Just a perfect storm if you care about record of guys last year being good enough to graduate and no class to fill in behind them.

Would likely need to trade Felicio just to get it to work

Deandre Jordan ... what? Look at the other $20 mill players. Congrats, we just signed a taller JR Smith to $20 mill.

I bet they match but gross. I don’t think much of Lavine at all. Sacramento targeting him proves that point.

He may have received some pretty good money from the Japanese team too.
