So you want less high ceiling, overslot high school picks. Got it.

And Ron would rather troll than contribute.

You're a Sox fan. Your life IS suffering.

Really the question is do you want to set yourselves up to go overslot in the 2nd, 3rd, maybe 4th, and then again with 2 to 3 picks after the 10th. Don't think of it as where you go under, but as a total package. If you don't go under somewhere, you can't go over somewhere else. Are a few senior signs worth an extra HS pick or two?

He also didn't retreat very quickly. He kept his secondary until after the catcher threw through instead of immediately retreating when the batter didn't offer. Not sure what he was waiting for, because he didn't get either a big lead, nor a running lead.

There is no force though. He can't get caught further out than the 3b.

Neither team wants to win this game.

That was not a good effort.

Gordon was calling even before the dude went to 1b.

Happy Getaway Day!

And if they screw up trying to play both sides of the fence, they will be sued out of existence and ruin their reputation.

Each guy still has to be represented individually, and look at what is best for them.

This is one of those things that I feel like pretty much any baseball should know, but most don't apparently. If you don't believe me, look at the bonus lists.

No.

If they are really THAT close, signing amount comes into play in as much as you can push more draft picks down to improve the overall package. If there is a clear separation, take that guy. I do think the Sox will end up taking Roch because of his proximity to the majors. The Sox whole history is trying to rush things, and I don't think this will be any different.

It's all about "value"

The MOST obvious predictor of injury is previous injury, and Taylor has that in spades. I have no problem with getting a truckload for him, I just know Chris Getz won't. I would also bet that Dutch ends up closer to 120 than 150 innings. I get the feeling he will get a shutdown or IL stint at some point.

I know we keep getting told different, but I really feel like that ship has sailed. We probably get up to what, 75 to 80 IP this year? Even with some luck, it would take about two full seasons to get him from that to the 150 ish range. We are in his arb years by that point, assuming he doesn't get reinjured like he always did in the minors as a starter.

Just make him the closer and get it over with. They won't trade him his peak. Zero chance it happens.

Blink twice if Rick Hahn took over your body.

This worked for me on open air Verizon

MLB Trade RumorsRays, White Sox Swap Joe Rock For Oliver DunnThe Rays and White Sox agree to a one-for-one swap of bullpen for infield depth. MLB Trade Rumors has more on the deal.

This is always the oddest flex to me. People point to a team from 50+ years ago who did this, like it helps. Nah, I'd rather do the thing that works easier, for once. I am sure there was once a team that won by a team hiring an under qualified, insider, yes man too, but I would still rather not.

Teel to the 60 day IL
