    The #11 guy draft was rated like #18 overall (Crochet).  Kelley was likely right on the bubble.. They have Kelley as 55FV and Crochet as 50FV.  Which I am fine with.

    They're both on the bubble. They had Kelley at 55 and Crochet at 50, but in the Sox T30 they ranked Crochet above Kelley, meaning that they have Crochet higher now but they haven't updated their scouting reports. 

    Which career would you pick?

    That is a pretty funny thing to say about a guy with a 10.2% BB rate, I mean he's striking out a lot but it's hard to blame him when he's a 23 year old rookie seeing sliders low and away 34.2% of the time and the team wants him to have an aggressive approach since that's when he's most dangerous.

    This is the most impressive thing about Robert right now.

    Robert is always going to be super valuable because of his defense and base running in addition to his hitting, but you look inside the stats of the 3 guys and Eloy may be off to the best, most sustainable start of the 3.

    Robert currently has a 10% walk rate, 28% k rate, and a .500 BABIP. He hits the ball hard and is super fast, so you imagine he’d have a high BABIP. Probably not that high.

    Moncada may be able to sustain what he’s doing: 12% walk rate, 25% k rate, with a .429 BABIP. It’s a little high, but he’s proven he’s always going to have a high BABIP.

    Meanwhile, Eloy, 8% walk rate, 24% k rate, and .364 BABIP.  191 WRC+.  He may finish in the neighborhood of those numbers.

    I am just glad we have all three. Though it did hurt my heart to see who was sitting at 7.

    Moncada hits the ever loving piss out of the ball and he's becoming such a good hitter that even when he's not squaring it up, he's getting hits. 

    His BABIP is always going to be an extreme outlier. He's just that good in EV and as a hitter. 

    The way I look at it is that Robert is always going to put up bigger power and WAR numbers but Moncada is going to hit for higher average and slightly less power. Moncada is going to be in the 25-35 HR range, and probably hit .300 regularly with a .360+ OBP and Robert is going to be in the 30-45 HR range and hit .270-.285 with a .340 OBP. Robert's BA could be inflated a bit by his elite speed. I continue to be baffled by Moncada not running as he has the ability to steal 25+ bases. 

    They're both great players.....but Robert is at a different level, especially if Moncada isn't going to run.

    They'll definitely hold him down in the minors long enough and its completely fair seeing as though he will be over 2 years removed from a mound in an MLB (hell even minor league) game. Gotta shake the rust off.

    He was up 45 days in 2018 so they'd have to keep him down until ~May 20th to get the year back. Memorial Day is the non-obvious date. 

    Speculation: Quintana back to White Sox???, rotation ideas...

    The problem is...who/what do we have that is expendable of any kind of significant value to trade for a good pitcher? What we really need is a solid vet on a bad team with an expiring contract. If the team can add someone that can give us a consistent 6 innings 3 ER it would be huge. 

    I think Quintana is coming back. It wouldn't surprise me at all, and I've thought this since the moment he was traded.

    Given that they messed with Madrigal's service time, do you guys think that they Keep Kopech down until Memorial Day next year, or will they just take the extra year from the opt-out? 

    I think they could be justified in sending Kopech to the Minors because he hasn't pitched in 2 years.
