Chicago White Sox

Who is hyping up Vargas? I’d say the vast majority of the board doesn’t like him at all. There are a few of us who believe there is untapped potential with the bat, but I don’t anyone is overly excited about him if he’s a 1B long-term.

Yeah, Meidroth was the 2B on BA’s “Non Top 100” All Prospect, so he was probably a top 125 or 150 prospect. I agree that Antonacci should be right that same level of the numbers hold in AAA. IMO, the plate discipline figures are the most critical as AAA should have more pitchers and less throwers. That’s why Meidroth’s BB and K rates were so impressive last year.

Do you have any sense what’s going on with our pitching this year? There has been some positive developments, although it sounds like the biggest one in McDougle went outside the org for help. Just lots of regression in results and even stuff. And then mostly everyone in AAA is a disaster. I was hopeful at minimum that Iriarte would be a high leverage reliever but he’s been terrible and the control numbers for Gonzalez and Palette are really bad in AAA as well. Did they change the ball or something? Just odd what we’re seeing there.

Larson has been out all year with TJS

He was 8th overall on BA’s pre-season list prior to the trade I believe. And that was a system with six top 100 prospects at the time.

His stuff isn’t good? He’s K’ing 13.5 per 9 which is the highest in the Southern League for anyone over 30 IP.

Sosa is really going to make this infield situation complicated for Getz. The kid looks firmly like a 110 to 115 wRC+, ~2.5 win player. Only 25.5 years of age with another four years of team control I believe. The challenge is 2B really appears to be his only spot, which will block several guys and/or force Meidroth to the left side of the infield (and I don’t love the idea of him as a 3B). Good problem to have though, but would love to see some of these kids get some OF time.

Definitely feels that way right now.

Cannon doesn’t have an out pitch and unfortunately they haven’t made any progress there this year.

Mead in the lineup at 1B

That will be fun. Excited for Shelton & DePino in particular.

Oh s%*#, Meidroth is back??

Extras or bust I guess!

Save us Tauchman

(or a single)

Brooks is due for a bomb IMO

Let’s fucking get a run here boys.

? Did I miss something or just a runner on 1B and one out?

Please do something Quero

Lefty against Robert & Quero = game over for the Angels

You must be 20 seconds ahead of me, but I’m ok with spoilers in this case 😁

Beautiful. Now get Jo out and let’s score a pair of runs.

K this f***!!

Did Plesac just say Vasil isn’t really a ground ball type pitcher?

f***
