QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 7, 2017 -> 12:34 PM) I think Caulfield was actually arguing in favor of Rodon wasn't he? I will be honest, most of the time I have no idea what he is arguing.

QUOTE (Soha @ Jun 7, 2017 -> 12:16 PM) Isn't it well known the Sox were enamored with Benintendi and were praying that he would fall to them? Now someone brought up Schwarber in relation to Rodon. That one I doubt they would have taken if they were in the Cubs slot at #4. I hadn't heard any links of the Sox and Schwarber and he certainly was expected to be picked lower in the first round. After Rodon, Aaron Nola was the person next most connected to the White Sox.`

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 7, 2017 -> 10:10 AM) Could be true, though I'll be honest and say I really just don't know. This is a good one from a while back from Balder. http://www.baseballamerica.com/internation...mlcHHi1yVTAv.97 Also http://www.vocativ.com/312559/the-dangerou...uelan-baseball/ https://www.lavidabaseball.com/venezuelan-b...ng-up-in-smoke/

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 7, 2017 -> 10:06 AM) Would have been insane to hear of a classmate doing heroin when I was in high school, but was considered much more through the lens of using it with needles. Heroin was always the scariest due to addiction, but also the rather vulgar way of using it. I do wonder if it moving to pill form has removed a "scare" barrier that has led to kids trying it more. When I was in school coke was the rich kids drug, and the poor kids smoked pot. Heroin wasn't even a blip on the radar.

Nice read on the write up. Very interesting to see who is already seemingly on the way/in Arizona in Reyes, Alfaro, Perez, and Colina (not as big of surprises), along with Sosa (bigger surprise).

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 7, 2017 -> 09:10 AM) Is Anthony Coronado worth following? He's had a bit of a hot start and looks like he's 17 out of Venezuela for 150k. Because of the chaos in Venezuela I keep reading how the kids there are underscouted (people are quite literally scared to scout there) and underpaid because of it. Most of the scouting happens for the kids who can get out of VZ and get into the DR to be seen with the rest of the class. It doesn't mean anything for this kid specifically, but don't be surprised if we see some supercheap signings out of VZ that turn out to be way over their signing bonus in terms of production because of the lack of competition for some of them.

I swear everytime he has had a mini slump this season, and I start to wonder if this is the beginning of the end, he has another big game. We are over a 1/3 of the way through the season now, and he is still putting up really impressive numbers.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Jun 6, 2017 -> 05:32 PM) With Trout being out, will they take the next top 3 as starters or just pick a replacement for him. If they take the next 3 highest Avi's just 40,000 behind. He goes as a starter, and then the manager of the team replaces him.

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Jun 6, 2017 -> 01:36 PM) Nixon had a 24% approval rating when he left office. At the lowest points in GWB's presidency - including right before the '08 election - GWB held a 25% approval rating (all per Gallup). Voting and approval ratings based exclusively on political party are not some 21st Century phenomenon. Approval ratings aren't what I am getting at here. Even if someone disapproves of their "own" party candidate, they will typically still carry water for them when they compare them to the "other" party candidate. Hillary Clinton had some of the highest disapproval ratings in history, and entire wing of the party who blamed her for costing Bernie Sanders. But that wing sure as hell picked up the bucket and ran with it once it was Donald Trump they were running against.
