No joke they aren't equal. That is the entire point. This is a crazy equivalency. You willing to bet on their stolen bases?

lol, you want to bet Madrigal's worst tool versus someone else's best tool, and are acting tough that someone else isn't biting? Come on man. You willing to bet me that Madrigal's UZR won't be better than Gormans?

At some point you have to dig in as the White Sox. If you are perpetually selling off your top players to fit into your "window", you never hit your window, and you are perpetually rebuilding. The Pirates and Royals did it for decades before they finally struck gold.

Ugh. There was literally no one of substance on draft day, who held this position.

If you are hung up on Homer's with Madrigal, you are going to be very angry following his career.

If the Sox can put together a quality bullpen largely from these guys and failed starters from their system, that goes a long way towards supplying dollars that can used elsewhere.

That is a really good throught. I hadn't thought of the roster spots as they relate to Rule 5. Any extra players could mean the loss of one of the other guys.

And Moncada didn't stop the Sox from drafting the best available player in Nick Madrigal. Zach Collins won't stop the Sox from drafting a catcher if he is BPA.

They also traded for the top rated 2B prospect in 2016.

For those who are curious

Neither.

Here is a trivia question I would have never gotten. Eliminating Jose Rondon due to small sample size, Daniel Palka has the worst UZR/150 on the team. Who has the second worst?

One thing of thought, I think I read that you can get two weeks of rehab coming back from the 80 game suspension. Two weeks puts us as August 31, meaning he could be activated on September 1st without needing to make a roster move.

I was reading an article the other day about Omaroso and apparently most of these payments are coming out of campaign money.

Replacing Ryan LaMarre who was sent to Charlotte on Wednesday.

Burdi has the best pure stuff, but Hamilton has been putting up results like nobodies business. Personally I think the list is pretty well in my order of preference, except I would replace Sousa with Burr.

Let's just hope Charlotte doesn't decide to go with a retro jersey

Like I said, I had hoped he was growing up because this year had been quiet, but I am disappointed. LIterally the only guy who can slow Kopech down is Kopech.

Until he gets a 10 game suspension for it, or one of our guys breaks a bone getting hit in retaliation.

He is giving up base runners because he lost his composure. If he can't control himself, he isn't going to be as good as he could be.

Ugh. I was hoping that Kopech had grown up this year. Apparently this is going to be a thing for him.

Yes. The Sox aren't working with their minor leaguers at all to try to teach them skills or anything. Speaking of fluff...

Is this another one of those positive posts?
