Always the former Royals. Took him out in a collision he never recovered from...his own defensively-challenged 3b. So much of the TA downfall self-induced. Then there's Grifol.

Lift and pull?

Or it’s just a total fluke…based largely upon Crochet’s willpower/determination than anything to do with a coordinated White Sox system-wide program. See Burger.

Average number of innings pitched after TJ1…median is just 130 for pitchers who had the first one. More than 50% of players returned to the DL because of injuries to their throwing arms after returning from surgery. Also, total number with two or more TJ surgeries somewhere in the 125-150 range.

Which first and second round possibilities for Sox are repped by Boras Corp?

Elijah Tatis, lol…? Can SoxTalk/Future Sox interview him on what went wrong?

Yet so afraid of extensions after Danks.

Getz, now here’s your chance to replace DeJong the second half, lol.

Will be at Globe Life on 21st against Sox…that monstrosity looks like an airplane hanger. Third Rangers’ ballpark of my lifetime.

wnba All-Stars (projected) Ogunbowale Dallas Ogwumike Seattle Clark Reese Johnquel Jones NYL Dearica Hamby LASparks (Olympic 3X3) Magbegor Seattle (Olympics, can't remember if it's Canada or Australia) Mabrey Chicago Bonner Phoenix Skylar Diggins Smith Seattle Aliyah Boston Indiana Kayla McBride Lynx others under consideration: Vandersloot (NY), DiJonai Carrington (CT), Howard (Dallas), R.Howard (Olympic 3X3, hurt, ATL), Kelsey Mitchell (IND), Kate Martin (because of all the Iowa votes, LASV), Brionna Jones (CT)

Baldwin coming back down to earth.

Ditto. Still time to reverse the slide...two years.

Makes me think of USC/MS QB.

Guardians. Brewers. Red Sox...not with their recent financial austerity plan under Henry.

So that we can look forward to Sheets over there instead?

Croquette...a French delight.

We also terribly miss timed the vets, along with the aforementioned failure of all three waves at different points. Rodon Abreu and Anderson part 1. All the external prospect additions from 2016-2019. Part 2. Vaughn Madrigal Sheets Burger Collins Fulmer mostly disappoint. Subsequent collapse of Part 3 (other than Crochet now) as farm bottoms out in high 20’s. Grandal Keuchel Lynn Hendriks Pollock Benintendi vet relievers all end up sucking or breaking down.

Thome Javy V. Didn't go as planned..

#3 pick of Rodon, trades for Sale Q Eaton and Frazier/Robertson. Top 5 picks for Madrigal and Vaughn. Not to mention Anderson Collins Burger Fulmer. Foundation today isn’t going to be nearly as strong as 2017-19 with Robert’s current value still clearly depressed…and Crochet at 75% of what he’s actually worth due to durability concerns.

Reese is a baller…love her or hate her. Few in between opinions. Cardoso needs to be more like Britney Griner and agility/athleticism, but lacks the sound shooting form. She makes 75-80% of her shots within 8 feet of the rim. Still working on a turnaround. Hard time keeping her arms vertical on D. Carter is the most talented yet enigmatic player on that team. Mabrey the most solid…but certainly not dynamic.

Mitigation…or tolerance. He’s essentially another equivalent of Glasnow. Meaning even a second TJS doesn’t mean Crochet can’t come back just like Cole Ragans did with KC after the Aroldis Chapman trade w/ Texas. Except that doesn’t work at all if he gets hurt early in 2025.

But still a 25% discount off what he’s worth in October, having pitched as far as he can go in 2024 without injury…

It’s amazing what the Guardians have accomplished without Bieber McKenzie and Quantrill from recent teams. They also have the #1-1 pick in July and already two of the top ten minor league outfielders in their system. But the whole thing was built around Jose Ramirez and team-friendly extensions to the right young players. Along with Ramirez, you’ve Fry from Brewers, Naylor from Padres and Gimenez from the Lindor deal…those are your offensive keys, along with the great pick of Kwan out of OSU. He’s like the Lance Johnson of that team. Everyone in the world underrated/undervalued him. Overvalued Madrigal and the other power bats.

SD did it for Soto. And now James Wood (debuting today) Abrams and Gore will haunt Prelller.

That’s quite the fall from grace for Nastrini…and might as well throw Berroa Scholtens and Martin out there.
