Chicago White Sox

I just mean in terms of overall production. I know Landon has a better hit tool, but not McGonigle levels at this point. And as I have said before, I like Thome as a prospect. I just don’t like the idea of trading an infielder who has already developed into a legit major league hitter for one who doesn’t have a massively higher ceiling than him. Maybe I just higher on Jacob than most here.

I just think the ceiling of Landon Thome is Jacob Gonzalez and the floor is minor leaguer who never makes the show. The roster crunch is a real thing, but I still think we should have used Jacob to add a controllable SP to solve that issue.

A 1-2-3 of Burke-Detmers-Martin can make us competitive for the playoffs. We are seeing in real time Burke take that next step and Martin is a legit #3 despite some regression & fatigue. Hopefully Schultz can build some momentum and make a case to be the clear #4 SP down the stretch. Kay is probably fine for the #5 spot and if not you have Sandlin, S. Smith, Adams, & Fedde in reserve. I really think Detmers is the dude to get. You can NOT give up Bonemer for him, but I think we enough other pieces to make a compelling offer. I really hope Getz is aggressive here as a quality SP is our single biggest need hands down.

I have him firmly in the top 20 and that’s post draft. He checks a lot of boxes for me, but hesitant to rank him too highly because none of the larger prospect publications have really jumped on him yet.

When do we acknowledge this kid is a dude?

Numerous White Sox have showed bat speed gains this year, which screams to actual hitting development being in place.

Nice!!

Last I saw his numbers weren’t great, but it’s still early. Just not sure we can rely on him and certainly not Romo.

Heyman reporting that Detmers will be made available. While I think you’d be selling low, I’d do something centered around Carlson.

Definitely need a backup catcher at the deadline

Oh boy

Absolutely killer

f***

Ant Man going to do something here

The bunts are back baby!

As soon as Ray Ray declared him the greatest defensive SS in baseball history, cracks started getting exposed. He’s a good defensive SS no doubt, but second best in baseball always felt like a stretch.

God Gonzalez is a fucking stud…I love what we did in the draft, but would rather have Jacob over Landon and our 5th round pick.

Same here!

Doesn’t appear Holcomb or Johnson got much over the $150k then.

Also, going to be interesting to see what Getz does when Hays & Pereira are both back. Assuming Grichuk is safe, they really can’t roster both of them unless you DFA Acuna or demote Braden.

Drew Thorpe is alive!

Better defensive SS than Colson

He got more money than Thome.

Who they said was contingency in the event they couldn’t sign someone else.
