Chicago White Sox

FIFY. Realistically most of the roster is a tad old for Low A. Hoping they can find a way to promote a bunch of them to High A at some point in the near future. The question is how many High A guys are ready for AA or are simply expandable. That will limit wholesale promotions to a certain extent.

How do you know we didn’t offer him something like that?

Everyone here wanted Rondon, but he signed with the World Series champs. I doubt he was interested in joining a rebuilding club and pitching half his games at the Rate. Don’t have much to say about Oh to be honest.

? I’m not sure what we disagree on.

Another terrible send call.

I think he brought in quite a few interesting bullpen options. The problem is we started with guys like Minaya & Infante who are not major leaguers and the three anchors (Jones, Soria, & Avalin) haven’t been great. Which free agents are you specifically referring to?

In what sense?

I love me some Palka!

100% agree. He’s our best CF option at the moment.

Yeah I’m out of town and watching the Cubs broadcast through MLBN and the Len was all over that play. Given the importance of that out and being down by five early, it seemed like an obvious call to challenge.

I’m not sure about others, but I’m pissed he didn’t challenge the out at second.

Can you post the tweet?

Just have Anderson run here. Nothing to lose with two outs.

He’s about as bad as Ventura with the in game stuff.

Jesus’s fucking Christ. Team is an absolute joke.

Why couldn’t his stuff return if moved back to relieving?

That’s totally fair. I just wouldn’t give Carson as much rope as someone like Giolito. Like as soon as Jordan Stephens is ready for a look (assuming Rondon & Kopech already with team) I’m ready to have Fulmer transition to the pen.

I think a strong argument can be made to try developing Fuller as a reliever and doing so soon. He can still be valuable coming out of the bullpen and we certainly could use help there. I just don’t see how anyone who has followed Carson’s career could honestly believe he is starting material.

Come on Fulmer, stop nibbling and go after these guys when you get ahead in the count.

God I hate Schwarber so much.

Seems like one of those days where Fulmer will either throw a no-no or will get roughed up real bad and be taken out within three innings.

Sounds like the Reds are all over Singer at #5, so I doubt you get him underslot. India taking #10 pick money would give us roughly $2M to play with. In a deep draft with very few elite talents, that makes the most sense IMO. Having said that, I’m starting to get a bit worried there will be several teams in the 4 to 10 range looking to make underslot deals with India. That could hurt our negotiating leverage and I’m only taking India at #4 if we get significant savings.

100% agree when picking as high as we are.

More important for hitters than pitchers IMO since there is generally better off-speed stuff to deal with in AAA.

And the 2018 metrics are about equal for April & May. Just from watching him you see how much more selective he is this year. I wouldn’t rush to consider him the long-term answer at DH, but he’s suddenly a guy worth investing a bit more time in and finding out.
