Is soccer replacing all the US major sports (except NFL) in popularity?)
What are mlb tv rankings in England France Germany Italy and Spain? You have to consider also the massive crossover success of those five European leagues, in particular the EPL as well as best Spanish and French teams...it's not just a simple 1/1 comparison with MLS or even NHL. And then there's also the tremendous success of US womens' teams and participation there as well.

7/13 Games
Seattle used 19 of its 20 picks on college players. The lone high school selection, 18th-round outfielder Dominic Santarelli, isn't expected to sign and will fulfill his commitment to LSU. Another late-round pick, Texas Tech third baseman Connor Shouse, is also expected to return to school. It's not an accidental trend. It's a look at how NIL is actively affecting the MLB Draft. For years, teams could use late-round picks on talented high school players with strong college commitments and see whether they had enough bonus money to change their minds. It was a reasonable lottery ticket. Save money elsewhere, make an aggressive offer and hope the opportunity to begin a professional career was more appealing than spending three years on campus. https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/why-nil-pushed-mariners-toward-172435573.html

"Prosek was viewed in large part as a future third baseman following the summer, though he's been catching some this spring and there are people who think he may start off there in pro ball. A lot of the value here will come with bat, but it's a very, very good one." 2B was/is the other position he has been listed as...

White Sox really scouted Oregon State and Oregon thoroughly….three picks, probably overlapped with Cholowsky visits as well.

Top 20 Prospects (Pre Draft)
70 and 57 innings the last two years for Scolari seems light but they have to start building a floor/foundation somewhere.

Top 20 Prospects (Pre Draft)
Thought Cholowsky Emerson Vaughn were going to be ranked #18-26, roughly? Bonemer is already lower ranked (or a higher rated prospect) on some lists. Why is there so much variance in the Fauske rankings? Can Thome really be higher than Hagen Smith, who's still #53 on the current/just updated Pipeline list? Why is Gabe Davis still so high? Months ago, there was a theory Cholowsky alone would push the overall system back into the Top 10... Is that still the case after this draft, that they have jumped all the way from low 20s back into the #8-12 area? In your opinion, which of the numerous relievers drafted (along with Volchko) will be at High A or AA by the end of the season?

Vochko...best slider in AL Central a Scolari...Oregon Craytor Yeager...second Oregon State pitcher C.Johnson...OU freak of nature Horn...Coastal Carolina a Bergman...Indiana, out until at least 2027 VaSCYCHaB (patent pending) the next two great Sox relievers will soon emerge from this group...

https://www.mlb.com/milb/prospects White Sox with four here…Braden to be subtracted, Cholowsky added. Dodgers with ten Top 100 prospects, including six outfielders Don’t think Jacob Gonzalez ever made the Top 100 list this year after his first two months at Charlotte.

Gonzo & Eisert Traded to Pirates for Comp Pick and Jaden Woods
More accurately, Gonzalez is a 2B and SS in the same way Meidroth and Madrigal are/were SS's at the major league level....fine for 3B with enough reason for 2-3 week fill in assignments.

The White Sox could have taken a legit five tool outfield prospect in Strosnider and passed. Same with Gasparino. Guess they will have to trade Mune and their infield surplus for ANY pitching and outfielders unless one pencils in Antonacci and Peters in LF and CF for the next five years.
