Chicago White Sox

raBBit mentioned this the other day, but I don’t recall anyone connecting us to Burger last year. Don’t recall if anyone connected us to Collins the year before though.

100% agree, but get this weird sense Singer is their guy for whatever reason.

I will commit a minor felony if this happens.

You clearly know nothing about Dane Dunning based on this post.

I have no idea what kind of grocery store this woman shops at that has pornography on the shelves.

And the injuries keep piling up.

For those that watched the game, how bad did Lopez look? The velocity appears to have been, he didn't give up any HRs, and only one walked one batter. Was he hit hard or did he just have bad luck and/or defense?

HOW THE FUCK DOES HE LOOK LIKE A CATCHER?!?

That’s what I’m not getting at well. The math doesn’t add up IMO. Seems like his ceiling would be regular 4 to 5 WAR player with even average game power.

This is what concerns me as well.

Of course not, I guess I meant in terms of overall value provided. Yolmer already appears to a 2-3 WAR infielder. I’d hope Madrigal with a far superior hit tool and far more speed could exceed that if all went right.

Hmmm, a 2-3 WAR player would be pretty disappointing. I’d hope he’s got a bit more ceiling than that if everything went right. Are we basically talking Yolmer Sanchez here with more speed?

Because otherwise Paul Sullivan would have nothing to write about yesterday!

Two of Swaggerty, Kelenic, India most likely.

And the arrow is pointing up. I still can’t believe he has a 8.3% BB rate this year. If he can actually learn to be a bit more patient, the sky is the limit with this kid IMO. Having him & Moncada locking down the middle infield for the next 5 years is absolutely huge for the rebuild.

Worst idea ever.

Nate Jones is 32 years old, not sure how that qualifies as young.

The good news is we are rebuilding and can be patient with him. I saw that Cubs start and he looked like a completely different pitcher. If there’s even a 5% chance that guy is still in there, I want to give this kid every shot to realize his potential. I think your plan for him makes perfect sense. Let him spend as much time as needed in AAA this year and give him one last opportunity as a starter in 2019. He should have a good three months before Hansen & Dunning are knocking at the door. In the interim, give his spot to Rodon and eventually have Kopech & Stephens join Lopez & Covey in the rotation. Giolito can take whoever appears weaker out of Covey & Stephens to start 2019. If he fails, we should have options ready to go.

You actually think this or just want this to happen?

He’s referring to it at the minor league level. No park adjustments.

Could be waiting until Robert is back as they will need to move up someone from the High A OF to clear a spot for him.

Upon further review, I think I’m all in on Madrigal. Been going back and forth between him & Bohm (assuming no chance at Mize) and while Bohm may provide the higher ceiling (if he can stick at 3B) I just feel like Madrigal provides a much better floor and offers a unique skillset that this system desperately needs. Ultimately I’ll be happy with either, just praying we don’t go with someone like Singer.

He should be up, but now I’m worried the Sox have pulled a Caulfield and are waiting for the AA All-Star game. I really have no other explanation.

Hit a single.
