Chicago White Sox

Just give me Kloffenstein and I'll be happy!

The only problem with pushing Basabe is he’s in the middle of a cold steak. I’d rather let him get hot for a week or two and then bump him up.

I’m ok with losing out on guys like Fisher & Polo, but Luis Gonzalez is the exact guy that bothers me. He should be up with the Dash by now IMO. The problem if/when they finally promote him is there will be a bunch of legit OF prospects that need to play everyday and they’ll end up trying to rotate in too many of them. I hate how many days off a kid like Rutherford is getting and that’s with one of the current OFs being a fringe guy in Booker. I’d ideally like my top end prospects playing 90% of the time. Adolfo is the only guy actually playing pretty much everyday.

That might work in the short-term, but Anderson will be blocking him if he ever reaches the pros.

So how the hell do we make this A ball OF situation work? Robert is coming back soon and that’s going require at least one promotion from High A to AA. Luis Gonzalez definitely needs to be bumped as well. Walker will be fine in Low A for the year, but man will it be impossible for him to really move fast with all the guys in front of him. I get the always go BPA strategy, but you get somewhat diminishing returns when you aren’t able to play guys at age appropriate leagues.

Yeah, would really suck to only get 6 1/2 years of a young stud like Machado or Harper, definitely not worth the investment given how reliable the draft is ?‍♂️

Good points all around. And let’s be honest, he’s going to start 2019 in AA so it does make sense for him to spend some in Winston-Salem this year.

For college or the minors too??

That’s like the exact opposite scouting report from Baseball America. Seems like this guy may have not done his research.

So where does he start? I’m sure he’ll get a token few games at Great Falls, but will he go to Kannapolis or Winston-Salem after that? The IF situation is actually pretty crowded for both clubs. He’ll obviously take precedent over all those guys, but just not sure how aggressive they’ll be with him this year.

I am all in on Kloffenstein now. Please survive the day!

I can’t believe Eierman hasn’t been selected yet. I’d happily take him in the 3rd if he’s still around.

Same here.

The Brewers have half the favorites to go 1–1 from like a year ago.

Cubs maybe? Was their first pick underslot? They still have three picks left tonight.

Bust may be too strong of a word, but I’ve been very dissapointed with his tool which was supposed to be his bread & butter.

And generally speaking I like that approach, but I also like having a diverse set of skills & talents in my system. We desperately need more high ceiling prospects IMO.

As a 24 year old with a .378 BABIP, 32.3% K rate, & no defensive value? I’d be pretty upset if that player is the comp for Walker.

Looks like the OF logjam won’t be ending anytime soon. Reallly wish we went for someone with a bit more upside there. I feel like Hostetler is never going to draft more than one prep ever again.

Fisher has been a bust, not exactly a promising comp ?

I know you and others are big on him, I wouldn’t be upset with the big although I’s love to add a high upside prep talent.

Sorry DirtySox, your dream is OVAH.

So top four are who? Wilcox, Rocket, Thomas, & Eierman?

I though they’d go all HS. Still have one more comp pick to go prep with though.

Yes please!!
