Well, if orioles sign them it probably fortifies the white Sox market for trading cap space for players this year.

So danish looked pretty wicked at the game, veiera looked awful

DST tries, merk tries, if there was no fegan...yikes. I'll add garfein though, garfein and fegan are a nice 1-2 punch of access (garfein) and analysis (fegan)

I accidentally reacted to this post so now I need to comment. There are some sentiments I would agree with but larry is so obnoxious and sss has declined so miserably I just am annoyed having read it.

I still think there will be a big regression to the mean next year. This team, while not good, was not as bad as it played. The worst in ks/worst in walks stuff, I just think we'll have a nice snap back next year.

I don't think our first year being competitive will be 2021, I think we will be competitive during the 3 year window he is with us, and he will be a part of that. One way to ensure we are not competitive during the next three years is to trade rodon.

If we aren't competitive in 2021 then in no way should this management team be in charge of trading one of our top assets again.

I just can't see the package available that I'd trade rodon for. And I don't want to trade him. Has the past year really made people feel comfortable that the talent of our pitchers will translate into production? I don't want to be a 50 win team for 3 straight years. Rodon is young, he fits the window. Who cares if he only produces for us in one of the competitive years? Not me, a competitive year sounds great!

Total meh for me, I don't put a lot of weight into body projections.

it annoys me that Sosa isn't in backend top 30 and annoys me he's never mentioned anywhere because it probably means I'm overemphasizing his production. But, full season ball will tell all.

So moviepass ran out of money last night.

Great post.

I mean if we said we’d get a teams prospect in the 12-15 range I think a lot of people would say that wasn’t much *prior to the trade*, but what you are seeing is there are still a lot of interesting and talented players in that range, just much more volatile.

Eloy's homer was at an away game so it's worth 4.

Eh, aren't relievers becoming less specialized? I'd hope he can just be a quality BP arm, not sure a loogy will cut it anymore.

Really like this return, like the player profile (really just medeiros, though, you'd assume Paddy liked the guy from DSL). - Like helping out Brewers, they are fun - Like Kodi, a lot. Any possibility the velo dropped to gain control?

I would feel pretty amazing if we just got a player like Jairo Solis for Soria.

They certainly can, but monetizing the next big social media hit is no guarantee (see Snap).

I have to say that doesn't sound like big money. I don't buy that people want an all-in-one shop. Eventually the stickieness wears off. This isn't to say that facebook won't still be wildly profitable. It's more the question over whether core facebook is going to be as stable and dominant as google search is in keeping its ad firm so cash heavy.

It is going through this list that causes most of us to struggle when we hear our system is star heavy but not that deep. That said, it's funny to go down that list and think "huh, not as bad as I thought".

An unreal sell-off from Facebook. Facebook has been a creative company in finding new streams of revenue. But as someone who finds it awful to use, I did have the same reaction to slowing growth. I don't see the generation behind the zennials, or zennials themselves, being big facebook users. As the growth areas dry up, they'll have to make more revenue on each user. I just can't imagine that experience being better than it is now. Their proposed ideas on their call (allowing brands to message you directly on messenger) sounded awful. Which is to say they could easily find or acquire some other line, or instagram itself makes up for all of the slack. But I have a hard time believing it won't have some major pains and redefining of what facebook is in the relatively soon future.

Yes exactly. Despite the struggles of Kopech, ceases year this year mirrors Kopechs excellent 2017. A year that started with ambitions to just throw a full year and stay healthy ended with him very close to the majors. 2019 is now expected for me to see cease, barring injury. Would not have said that this winter.

I don’t think so, lawn is firmly attached still. I just bought a spray on fungicide, wish me luck.

What’s the rationale for limiting the question to just these two?

Not sure why league needs to guarantee this. Say an org mortgages future and it fails. When the new team comes in they can sell what they have to recoup draft picks or minor league players.
