-Montgomery will move quickly -Gives a really interesting Billy Carlson Arm Bar talk at about 2:15, does call him one of the 2 best defensive MiLB SSs as a teenager. -Good at the top but lack depth, graduations hit hard -Rebuilt Colson's swing -Need more pitching, not enough depth -Falls off sharply after top 8/9 prospects -More hits on Kenny Williams interference -Player development improvement -Hired some great people, but haven't had many successes yet -Not many big player dev wins yet, such as big pop ups from unexpected guys. Oppor might become that, thought might not be a starter.

Good lord man, this is literally all about the team. I know you don't like it, but don't gaslight the man. And this team is way better ON paper, as the results of the game are the biggest problem. The optimism is all on paper because it is all about if this goes right, and these guys are ranked here, and if this goes right, and if Ishbia spends, and if this goes right... the actual results on the field have been some of the worst in baseball history the last 3 years. (2024, most losses in MLB history, 2024-25, 2nd most losses in MLB history over 2 seasons, 2023-25 3rd most losses in MLB history over three seasons)

For the record, anyone who wants to participate in these so called "prediction market" realize there is zero market regulation and consumer protection built into these. Unlike say a real futures market, or sports betting, there is no clear legal regulatory entity which oversees these items, and it is pretty much the wild west, complete with unfettered market manipulation that cannot currently be stopped.

How the heck?

Literally no one said this

They DGAF as long as they keep getting hooked up. They got an insane facility in Lucas Oil.

Carl Mutherfuckin Everett.

Everyone celebrate Jerry and the board getting some money!!! YEAH 💓 Until they spend whatever it is they just brought in, color me disinterested.

Like I said, Indiana will back up a brinks truck to get the Bears.

It's done. Forget about it. He's a reliever, it's over.

And set an NFL record for fewest INTs to start a career. It's called coaching.

We HAVE to get Schultz and Smith back on track to get it fixed. Those are two huge pieces of this puzzle that could literally move the timeline forward or backward based on what they do in the near future.

It is very nice to see the pundits start to acknowledge this kid. Hopefully he can carry this success into the high minors.

I think MIssouri needs to make a pitch for the White Sox, because you need to Show Me.

Be easy on your button, you don't want to chafe.

Congratulations, you just described the last 5 years under Jerry... and we still didn't spend.

Tier, by definition, is more than one team. Trying to make the Sox look better, by pointing strays at teams in much smaller markets just makes the point of how bad the Sox have been. Even their biggest contract of the winter (a massive 40 billion, no wait, million) almost didn't happen until the front office went into Jerry’s office and begged him into signing a deal somewhere around 15 to 20% of initial expectations. This is one of last remaining teams in MLB to not have a single nine figure deal, again, bottom tier. Feel optimism all you like, but don't gaslight the obvious.

Love him or hate him, he is one of the best ever.

Absolutely. One more, "Baby, I can change! This times it's different! " just isn't enough anymore.

That's fucking petty

Here's the thing. Whatever measurement they are using, they are using the same one for all 30 teams. The most insane thing is that the White Sox have been so completely run into the ground, that literally the only team in MLB that they are ahead of in this revenue measure is Oakland. That's it. A team that literally doesn't have a major league park to play in, nor a city to call its own for years is the only team we beat. That's a god damned embarrassment and the perfect statement to the person who has run this show for 45 years now.

Which means the Sox have passed on him at least twice.
