What the?

But he can’t play first!

How could I forget! 😆

Leader of the team, always beaming ear to ear, a joy in the clubhouse and respectful kid. Mentally tough. Those are all descriptive words I’ve heard applied to him. I’m afraid he’s going to end up with the Twins and will be a terror against us for years.

Sign me up all day long. It’s “easy” - I’d say, to be a “coward” when you’re going 1:1. Otherwise the totality of your sentiment was exactly to a T the logic all LLM models were expressing. 😆 Likely because you are expressing industry standards and they too were pulling industry standards when I explicitly instructed them to omit any ranking data from publications.

Yep. Imagine if the rotation buds similar talent.

Reading this brought an image of a Tim Anderson Humpty Dumpty to mind.

I want nothing to do with the Asshoe / Trashtros.

Another writer who will ( hopefully ) have his white socked foot in his mouth come September. Most writers have no clue what this team really has and I don’t blame them one bit.

Hopefully Quero’s big past 7 games are a sign that he’s found another gear and his bat is going to be alive for the summer!

Gotta love it. They’ve put in and continue to put in the work. They have the talent. Their belief is warranted. Thank God we have Pedro nowhere near this club and I can only assume Tony is too old to do much of anything aside from eating cottage cheese.

I’m not surprised and in a sense I can have an ounce of compassion for Timmy. It’s like a shot glass got spilled and most of the quervo is on the floor type of ounce. Must be a pain in the ass dealing with two women that value money. Arrogant fool will have a reminder of his poor choices for his entire life. Imagine the awkward conversations that’ll be happening in about 16 years. “What happened Daddy?” 😬

hi8is jr taught me that last year, I had just forgotten. 😆

One thing if they go with Rich that I’ll take solace in is that I can’t wordsmith any LLM off him as the right 1.1 choice. Even if I prompt with explicit instruction to heavily weigh junior year over year improvements and provision no allowance for data showing Roch as the number one pick, demanding a strictly analytical analysis — they always stick with Roch. 😆

This is the attitude we will all have to adopt or else we’ll have blood pressure issues for the next few weeks.

Someone hire this guy at the front office and take me along with you. ( Though I bet they sign some seniors to get some more over slot deals than your mock ). If that was our draft in a nut shell, I think we’d all be stoked.

That is a great point to evaluate for us to have a little insight into the mindset of our war room when talking Vahn. We know this front office loves guys who work good at bats and strike out less than they walk. Good news: Freshman year he was at 11.7% BB / 17.5% K. Sophomore: 9.4% / 14.3% ( small dip ). This year: 17.5% BB ( Big Jump ) / 13.4% K ( lowest in his career ) Comparing to Roch: He has good numbers but this year his is striking out more than last year while walking less. The numbers are negligible though. Freshman 0.71 BB to K rate, Sophomore 1.5 ( best year of the two for this stat, and this year he is walking at an equal rate to his strikeouts ( less walks, more strikeouts ). Makes me somewhat concerned about Roch not being able to make adjustments that the league is making to him. We’re splitting hairs here between two amazing talents but it is just one angle. I like Vahn’s swing much more to translate at the big league level than I do Roch.

I am going to be SO FUCKING SAD if they pass up on that young man’s swing and his athleticism. Anyone here down to pen a letter to the Sox and collect signatures with me. Maybe we can rally and advocate to Chris, Josh, etc via Brooks or some other line that someone may have. Mercy.

Ah yes, brilliant literary usage there amigo.

I’m likely one of a small few who long to flee so cal for the mid west. 😆

Indeed… If you sleep with another woman when you are married, when you have a young child, and when you have a bright career trajectory — you are an emotionless vile arrogant scum bag.

“Playing hard every day and that's the mentality right now. That's the new White Sox. The 2026 White Sox: The mentality is win every day and make the playoffs." -Edgar Quero

I do not compute.

Unless it’s 2026 and you have Vahn Lackey available. 😆

Exactly. I guess a lot of fans don’t understand why so much value is placed on shortstops in upper ranks every draft.
