What are you on? Cable? DSL? How do your speed tests look? Iad had a squirrel quite literally eat my line, and I had slow speeds and regular drops.

There was a recent report that he was going to be checked to see if he might be able to start working in RF again.

What a freaking year.

Believe me, it has been a learning process for us too.

With as many teams as subscribe to modern methodologies I think you are way overestimating the market. It has gotten smaller every year for a few years now.

Confusion isn't a +1, it is a 0.

Even Admins can't see them.

But not at SS.

I got quoted in there too, hence my confusion.

Have you seen what guys of his ilk have in trade value?

Madrigal has gold glove defense tools? That is news to me.

I'd love to see the Bulls pick up salary for a mid 1st round pick.

There is absolutely NO ONE behind Tim Anderson right now that would even start to inspire conversation about moving Anderson off of SS defensively. Even with a drafting of Madrigal, Tim Anderson isn't going to be the one to move.

I will say the longer the Sox go without being really competitive this season, the more likely they are to deal Abreu away for a lesser return.

Judging by how many pitches he threw, I would agree with that.

It wouldn't make him worse.

When it comes to a reliever, and especially one who looks like he could be a specialist, if someone offers us a Top 100 position player for him, you can put Jace on the plane as far as I am concerned. Yes, he looks like he will be a very good reliever, but in terms of impact on a game, I am trading relievers for position players all day long.

John S 1:29 Can you explain how Singer was assigned a "low" on variance? Kiley McDaniel 1:30 He has a low variance among his possible outcomes. He'll almost certainly be in an MLB rotation pretty quickly and he wont' be an ace. In the draft, the gap between 3rd starter and 5th starter is really small when some guys have a real chance of not getting out of A-Ball.

Because Caulfield

For someone who has done research on this, but Singer seems like the higher floor, lower ceiling pitcher pick at the top of the draft, no?

Dang. Hate to hear that.

Some GM's don't care, others worry about the potential of having one of their former prospects kicking their collective asses for six years or more.

Statnik.
