I'd rather reserve judgement on the quality of the class when it's over. Frankly, I don't know anything about the amount of Latin American talent in that year and I don't think anybody here really does either. As such, we need to be results oriented in this case.

What if there aren't any good players that come from that year's class? Is it still an absurd usage of resources? Did they not spend money because they're cheap, or did they not identify enough prospects to spend the money on, or was the class just weak? I don't think any of us really know.

Genetics. Trout doesn't have the most flattering body type for putting on muscle.

I always just kind of assume Cuban players are juiced. I'm also convinced Trout is juiced to the gills too though.

Hopefully the culture they're building will influence Moncada to stay.

Beautiful. Hopefully he can stay healthy and develop some more plate discipline. Remember, just a year ago some people were already writing him off.

Better than the Browns I suppose.

11 years? The Sox have sucked since inception.

Depends on Giolito, Kopech, Cease, Lopez, Dunning, Lambert, Pilkington and Steiver.

Gotta give @southsider2k5 some credit. He always said Sox fans couldn't handle a rebuild and he was right.

It all went south when they tried to turn Jedi from samurai into ninja. Star Wars as an action movie doesn't work for me. Star Wars as a kind of mystical space adventure works for me.

Sure. I hope they keep him too. Comparing him to Collins and Robert just based on raw numbers isn't exactly apples to apples. Context matters.

He's also 27, has 0 mlb PA's and will be in his 9th MiLB season.

It would be so White Sox to extend all the RH hitters who don't walk and trade the LH power bat who walks a ton.

Mazara hits them 550 feet. Ask Reylo.

2020 Steamer projections: Nick Castellanos - 1.5 WAR Nomar Mazara - 1.4 WAR I'll pass.

Not a huge fan, but it doesn't hurt

Same. Pretty much all my Sox fan friends are really excited about the future.

You couldn't pay me to read Twitter for any reason.

I think everyone is doing what they can to make the organization more attractive and I do believe they're building that type of family atmosphere, or trying to. I also think it was a big influence in bringing Abreu back. It's too bad the fans aren't buying in... or maybe I shouldn't think this site is a reflection of all Sox fans.

I think it depends a lot more on Cease's control than his era.

I just can't trade a kid with number 1 stuff for a 3rd baseman in this environment. We have to produce starting pitching. We ain't buying it. That's just reality.

So the answer is no?

"He's trash." Yeah, not negative at all.
