They arent signing Gerrit Cole.

I'm sure they'll spend on older prospects. Probably some guys from Cuba. This organization is so averse to risk when it comes to 16-year-old signings. The biggest bonus ever is like $1.6 million still I believe.

I would be totally fine with the Sox giving JD Martinez 5/100 right now. He's a multiplier. He's a great hitter and makes other hitters better. I just want him around all the Sox younger hitters on a consistent basis. The contract would pay for itself. I was very impressed with Martinez after reading Astroball and The MVP machine.

Mike Shirley or Nathan Durst would be my guess.

74K in just over 50IP as a 16-year-old is nice.

Another outside the box candidate that might not seem outside the box very soon is Danny Farquhar.

No. We'd love to have one but I've never heard of anyone attending those games.

WTF? Vaughn has like an .860 OPS in High A after playing a college season. He's fine and will and should start in AA.

Ryan Johansen and Matt Lisle were both Chris Getz hires. Getz and Hostetler have done some really nice things even though the Sox are behind the times. It's better late than never.

I think this is too strong. I don't agree with their strategy but calling it a joke is wrong. Paddy signed Micker Adolfo, Fernando Tatis Jr and Luis Robert. They have multiple intriguing $300K signings recently. I wish they took bigger chances on 16-year-olds but they just don't.

They needed a corner guy in Kanny and didn't want to move Harvin Mendoza to play part time is my guess.

Yep that'd be him. He was bad starting at Texas Tech but looked great in relief on the cape.

Nick Hostetler loves Caleb Freeman. Talked about him similarly to how he's mentioned Ian Hamilton and Codi Heuer in the past. He's a guy to watch.

He could be put on the list. None of us decided to rank a 26-year-old definite DH though.

Lindgren is Rule 5 eligible

Any surprises in here, guys?

LOL okay. You aren't worth my time. Choose to be misinformed if you'd like.

You are incorrect. I talked to him about it recently and multiple others close to the organization. Hostetler is moving to pro side.

Walker has the better hit tool, more power and might be able to stick in CF. I have him as the better prospect for those reasons.

Hostetler got a promotion my friend.

This is the correct take. This trade is absolutely disgusting. It's a very poor use of resources. The Rangers are paying Nate Jones so that they can spend $1 million of their own money on international amateurs. The White Sox are prioritizing saving $$ on Nate Jones. They could just eat Jones's contract and spend $1 million on 16-year-old prospects. Instead, they chose to do this because it's an organization still run like a mom and pop shop.

Lency Delgado has been really good too.

I don't know if I'd go that far. There's been some success stories so far in the AZL and Great Falls. Stiever and Sheets come to mind as guys who have improved a ton. Bush has been hurt a few times and had some eye issues. Sosa can play SS defensively. They are 19-year-olds in the South Atlantic League. It's a tough place to play. They have had disappointing years but they can repeat Low-A next year and still be much younger than league average. They'll both be on our FS top 30 still even though Bush moving to the OF this early drops him considerably IMO.

Thanks. I was unaware of this.

He's not being fired. He's moving to the pro side and the decision is mutual. Stop spouting nonsense.
