    No not even close. Jared Kelley is the one young pitcher that looks like he's emerging as decent among the Sox crop of HS pitchers they got. Pirate would probably insist of both Montgomery and Colas and if the Sox agreed it would hurt no matter who else they threw in.

    If that would be the case, I'd pass. How about you? I would rather look for a rental to fill the need for a LH bat, and hope that Colas will be the long term answer in RF.

    Montgomery and more likely 

    Would Colas, Jose Rodriguez, Thompson and Dalquist be enough for the Pirates to part with Reynolds? I personally doubt it.

    That's what I said don't trade Colas for Happ but consider it for Reynolds. Colas is looking like a beast right now after that game last night.

    Who else would likely have to be included, to entice the Pirates?

  4. Reynolds won't be a free agent until 2026. He would almost certainly require too much in prospect capital. Nevertheless, if they do trade for him, they might as well include Colas, as he would be blocked by Reynolds for the next 3 years. How much more than Colas, would have to be included, is the question.

  5. The more that I learn about Camilletti, the more I like him. It wouldn't surprise me if this kid becomes a Big Leaguer and has a decent career. His extraordinary on base ability, and good glove could make him a very productive lead off hitter and second baseman. He may be 5' 9" but he looks very strong. He should hit a lot of doubles, and an occasional homer. It will be interesting to see his prospect ranking, in the Sox system. They have some intriguing middle infielders; Montgomery, Sosa, Rodriguez, Yolbert, and now Camilletti and Sprinkle. Sprinkle's glove and base running should translate to the pros. If he learns to hit a little better, he could surprise a lot of people. Guys can learn to hit, but you can't teach speed, agility and athleticism in the field, especially at SS.

    When I saw the pick, I immediately thought of you. 

    I'm surprised that you thought of me. After all, he hits right handed. LOL

    Interesting, the year before he had 16 homers, in 160 at bats. So, two years in a row, he hit one homer, every 10 at bats.

    I don't see a scenario, beside a player injured, that Tony wouldn't go with a combination (order TBD) of Lynn, Lucas and Cease as his first three in a playoff series.

    Lynn is Tony's "Guy", unlike a Keuchel who was brought in before Tony got there. Tony wanted Lynn to go twice in Houston last ALDS, if necessary, saying Lynn could go twice on short rest. It was apparent to most on SoxTalk Lynn should have been pushed back until Game 3 or 4 against Houston, because he has gotten absolutely pummeled by the Astros at Minute Maid the past two seasons. His best chance at possible success was at Comiskey Park II.

    In terms of Cueto, there is a long way to go this season. Hopefully he can keep pitching well and stay healthy. They will have a decision to make if he is, because it will be hard to tell their pitcher of the future he's not starting this in the 2022 playoff either (he pitched twice from the bullpen last year). Kopech said he'll have this knee issue through the end of the season, so that may be a convenient excuse to leave him off the first round playoff roster.

    The way Lynn is pitching, he better not be one of the 3 main starters, if the Sox end up in the Post Season. He is clearly not the same guy, after his knee surgery. Let's hope that he at least comes back healthy next season. 

  8. A few questions:

    1) The way the rotation is performing, and if the Sox make the Post Season, who is your number 2 starter, after Cease? For me, I'd seriously consider Cueto. The guy has been simply remarkable.

    2) Is anyone concerned that he is taking PED's again, or is it just hard work and recovery from his TJS?  Incredible that it took so long for someone to offer him a contract.

    3) If he holds up, the rest of the season, would you be in favor of trying to bring him back for at least one more year, and what do you think it would take? He is one guy, who just might be able to be effective, in his later 30's. He wouldn't be the first. He is the kind of pitcher who relies more on cunning and guile, than on power. A real pitcher, rather than a "thrower".

    I'm not giving up on Eloy. The talent is there for an easy 40 HR guy. Somehow he has to figure out how to remain healthy and he will be the position player version of Rodon.

    I agree, and he is probably the only guy, in the organization, with the exception of Robert, who has that potential. He has demonstrated that he can also hit for a decent average.

    See Anderson, Tim. Just substitute Mississippi for IN. Add one year of JUCO baseball.

    Good enough to walk on at Indiana.

    Of course the White Sox have notoriously drafted hundreds of multisport stars since the KW regime.

    Yes, and it seems that most did not pan out. Anderson is the rare exception. My point was that Colson is performing much better than the raw athlete, I expected.

  11. When you consider that Montgomery was devoted to basketball, in high school and played in Indiana, where the weather is not conducive to Spring baseball, it suggests that he is still pretty raw and inexperienced. If this is how he looks now, who knows what he might become?

  12. 1 for 2 and a walk, and a RBI. Has anyone in Colson's draft class gotten off to this good of a start, in their pro career? He is really impressive. That has to be the longest on base streak in professional baseball, this season.

    Sosa has two doubles.

    Montgomery with a walk.

    Ramos homer.

    Could be the Sox double play tandem, when Tim leaves on his next contract, after the 2024 season. The way they're hitting, not sure that the Sox can keep them down on the farm, that long. I'm already anticipating Sosa to fill the keystone hole, next season, if not sooner.

    I think you're stuck Lillian. I feel the same way though. 45 years ago I could always figure out some reason to watch even when we stunk.

    Now I just check the score before bed and shrug my shoulders.

    I hear you. I've done the same thing, a lot lately. I look at the box score and usually watch the highlights. I did watch the Baltimore series, primarily to see Sosa.
