Chicago White Sox

Does this mean KW Jr is officially gone?

Schriffen would be a very interesting hire.

This would be so fucking incredible.

Not a “bad pitcher” doesn’t mean he’s better than most teams’ #3 starters. That is an absolutely ludicrous take and disproved by your argument above.

But plenty of teams do have better #4 starters than Kremer. And I have no idea how you could honestly believe otherwise and say so with such conviction.

Guys, don’t let the Orioles fans fool you. They are nervous about the rotation, but don’t want to seem desperate. Definitely don’t point out that Fangraphs projects their starters to put the 25th most WAR in baseball next year as it is especially triggering for them.

I think people are sleeping on Mayo here, but I’m probably his biggest fan on our board. He’s got a bit more Kris Bryant in him than many people realize.

My god…Canfield with an absolute kill shot here! The entire Hangout is now in shambles!

What was Bradish’s ERA vs. his xERA?

Are you actually saying Dean Kremer is the best #4 starter in baseball? I’m sorry, but that’s an absolutely terrible take. And you have by far the worst #3 starter of any real competitor. You aren’t living in reality if you believe this.

Why in the world would we do this? Ramos is a 50 FV prospect.

Jerry isn’t going to wait that long to compete. For better or worse, we need to be ready to go by 2026. Not that I’m suggesting it’s likely, but if you could in theory get both Kjerstad & Westberg you’d have a sizable wave of young positional guys who could be ready for war by 2026. And to their credit, a multi-year tanking doesn’t really add much value with the revised draft rules.

So you wouldn’t want Kjerstad either then?

Why the f*** are we comparing Jordan Westburg to Nicky Lopez?

I think they bring in a bigger name. My gut tells me it will be Randal Grichuk, although the lack of Royal experience could be problem there.

Pretty wild that Vera & Cespedes don’t even warrant consideration for the top 30. And damn did Erick Gonzalez have a bad year. The big ticket LatAm signings not paying off very well. At least some of the lower level ones are.

Kjerstad + Westburg?

Elias just isn’t serious about making a trade or winning for that matter. Time to wait out Cashman until he panics. No way Marcus fucking Stroman is making him feel warm & fuzzy about his pitching staff right now.

Also, based on Harold’s comment, should be assuming that Gallo is a high probability option for the RF spot?

I know I’d pay top dollar to see watch Adam Duvall play baseball.

That’s a fair point. Just of curiosity…where would you place him? Surprised to see Burke & Leasure as high as they are. Sounds like the latter has really good stuff but the fact he is a reliever only surely limits his value. And I would have expected Burke to drop further after was mostly a lost season. Taylor at #13 wouldn’t feel all that off to me.

Sounds like Duvall is down to the Red Sox & Angels. Hopefully LA is the winner and then pairs him with Snell to help successfully replace Ohtani (lol).

It’s nice not having 2nd round picks from the prior draft automatically awarded a top 10 ranking because there is actual talent ahead of them.

If you’re adding scumbags & assholes, you might as well as add Urias as well. Cease Bauer Urias Clevinger Fedde Not actually serious in wanting these guys, but could be a decent rotation.

Our run differential was 319 runs worse than the Twins last year and have added a bunch of garbage. We aren’t close to being a RF away from winning the division.
