It's going to come down to his defensive skills and stolen base/PR ability...very rare are the guys like Zobrist or Chone Figgins that can legitimately play every position on the field and also hit/run pretty well. Jose Oquendo is more the traditional archetype.

But Leury Legend is still the all-time Sox utility guy, along with guys like Grebeck, Yolmer Sanchez and Pablo Ozuna.

Like Marcus Semien?

He can perform both jobs simultaneously and save money for JR by taking just ONE salary. Obviously Bears' salary quite a bit higher, we don't even need to ask. There's the reverse precedent of Paul DePodesta/Jonah Hill of Moneyball to the Cleveland Browns, too.

Yeah...especially at his relatively advanced age as well as injury history. Maybe they feel he can hold up on turf somehow.

Spencer Rattler at #83 the next QB on the board. Michael Pratt Tulane at #160 trails him. Talk about a massive drop off.

Nix feels like even more of a reach than Penix. He somehow disappeared in most of their big games at Auburn as well as Oregon. Bowers=Todd Christensen

Wilson was never going to be dominant or the Padres would NEVER have included him after losing Hader. They blew a 9-4 lead today in the eighth inning.

Unique playoff rules at that time...without the Yankees, they would have a completely different vibe historically.

Those were the three likeliest...just a few years from now they will speculate about who they could have picked, right?

As expected by nearly everyone. Start the unending off season of Bears' hype on sports talk radio.

Turner Odunze Bowers

Nobody thought Penix (or Nix) would be inside the Top 15...some even suggesting he would end up falling dramatically like Levis.

Is that REALLY something to be excited about? A GENUINE MLB pitcher, I guess...

White Sox on verge of being 15 games back well before May 1st.

Hit ? Error on Santana. Vaughn continues to crater.

Thames will get fired instead.

At least no GIDP?

Kopech warming lol.

They were right to hold onto Westburg and Cowser seemingly. Kjerstad just came up as well.

Jax save opportunity.

You expected more from the ex Royals?

What choice do you have? Montoyo is a behind the scenes guy...and too close to Grifol. Thome or Konerko would have zero interest. That leaves Jirschele or Leyland's kid. Need to experiment with a younger guy and see what happens.

He might actually be able to get something out of Colas or Sosa. Plus a SS to work with Montgomery as well. Knows about Sox Pride and players will respect his two WS titles in coaching. Might as well bring back Camp Cora too.
