I am just thrilled to have actual baseball to talk about again. The thing I have missed more than anything the last three months is competitive sports.

We don't allow our insiders to use their real names to protect them from their hoardes of adoring fans. Screen names only.

If we are drafting him, hopefully we get a significant savings to be able to go big later in 2-5.

To try to get a player you want to drop his number to fit your draft spending plans.

He is one of the very first players I have a memory of at old Comiskey Park. Mostly because I remember someone bringing a sign to a game that said "Claudell Washington slept here"

Guys with no gap are either no ceiling high floor guys, or they are #1 picks.

If he is pushed to 2021, it is possible.

Guys with high floors and high ceilings are #1 draft picks. There aren't many of those players at all in a draft. There might be a few, tops. That is why they go off of the board so quickly. In the draft you are going to choose between more developed and limited ceilings versus lesser developed and higher ceilings.

Interesting that he is willing to play in 2020, but wants to be released for 2021. That would line up with getting into next years international class quite nicely.

Going back to 2002 for that one. Luckily the White Sox didn't get scared of drafting left handed pitching in round one after this.

Let's get it memorialized. #1 Who SHOULD they take, if available, of the players that will most likely land at 11? #2 who WILL the Sox take tomorrow? Let's hear your predictions in post form. Should take: Ed Howard Will take: Mick Abel

Real answer: Any of them.

I would hope with the knowledge that we would have a shortened spring training, that everyone is already working into game shape, even fringe guys who might be called on if the guys in front of them get hurt.

We should quit reading once we get to the highlighted part.

I get a kick out of ruffling up those who use actual Klan recruiting propaganda phrases in their posts.

Yet here you are trying to justify your world view.

"greg" found Candice Owens? He can't find any legitimate news sources which give him new information on the millions of "questions" he "asks", but he found Candice Owens. What are the odds of that happening? I am going to go with one in a trollmillion.

And at worst, you are something else. The more I see you ignore explanations and life stories of people on the ground of stuff, I think I know which one it is.

That's a good catch.

They have already contradicted this statement.

One moment is accusing people of overacting and overreacting, the next he is talking about the National Guard needing to be brought in days earlier. And yet people will still fall for this cult leaders every whim.

You can lead a horse to water... but you probably aren't strong enough to hold it under and drown it.

If you don't sign a player, you lose that draft slot's assigned pick value from your pool.

Something that came to mind is pitching that commits to Vandy always seems to stick as well.

It would backfire if the person was willing to sign. If they only offer a minimum deal in bad faith, then the player could file a grievance. It has to be a pre-arranged deal with someone who won't sign, otherwise it won't work.
