2020 MLB Draft Thread
Based on absolutely nothing at all, I say the Sox end up drafting Detmers or Howard if the former is not available. Jimmy seems to be implying they will go prep and taking one in the 1st (assuming Detmers is gone) is the next obvious step in a more aggressive approach to the draft that we’ve slowly seen take place over the last handful of years. And while you never draft for need, the system definitely needs more up the middle talent.

FS: White Sox draft strategy should deviate from college to prep
I love the idea of potentially transitioning the SS role from Tim Anderson to Ed Howard five years from now. That timing would almost work out perfectly IMO.

Any insights?

George Floyd Thread
And funded by the super wealthy! Mike Jordan’s $100M donation has already covered 100 of the ~40M African Americans. If the remaining 600 billionaires in the US are willing to contribute a measly $66 billion each we can easily solve Greg’s plan!

George Floyd Thread
Excuses for why people don’t succeed? Come on man, everyone is a victim to their environment & upbringing and saying otherwise is ridiculous. If can’t see that the average African American is at a huge disadvantage from the get-go in modern society then you are simply ignoring reality. Also, I’ve seen the Daniel Shaver video and I tell people all the time how fucked up that was. But that doesn’t take away from the fact that blacks are the victim of police brutality far too often. If you can’t see that, then you are purposely being ignorant to the issue at hand.

George Floyd Thread
It’s utter insanity. I mean, we gave people like $1,200 per eligible person for COVID-19 and that cost us nearly a 1/4 of a trillion dollars. I believe our Federal revenue is somewhere in the $3M to $4M range per year, so basically a 1/16 of that. Now give the ~40M African Americans $1M each and well I can’t do that math. But I think we can just safely assume it would be a bit of a financial problem ?

I love that in this insane proposal that families somehow get less than single people.

Do you actually think systematic oppression doesn’t exist?

They told you to “go away”. Seems like there is a lot more to this story you’re not sharing. And if that’s truly all they said, you should have certainly demanded a reason.

Harper actually loved his meeting w/ the Sox
Not that it matters, but I still think he signs with us over the Phillies if the money is close.

I can’t believe any mentally stable human was capable of voting him for POTUS. I don’t care what your political party is. I don’t care how bad of a candidate Hilary was (and yes she sucked). Trump is a selfish unethical incompetent douche bully manipulator. Him being POTUS is an abomination to the free world and we’re finally paying the price for it now.

Radio Broadcast Speculation Thread
That’s probably the best part. Whether you are a Spiegel fan or not, we can all agree that Bruce is absolutely terrible. Can’t believe anyone would argue that he’s somehow irreplaceable.

Radio Broadcast Speculation Thread
What the fuck does his weight have to with his ability to be a sports radio host? At least he’s not some douche who thinks talking shit on an anonymous message board makes them a badass.

COVID-19/Coronavirus thread
I passed by a church in Florida earlier today with a fuckton of cars in the parking lot and I couldn’t understand what was going on. I’m not religious but I respect people’s right to believe whatever the fuck they want as long as it’s not harmful to others. Refusing to practice their faith over the internet / safety of their own home is the opposite of loving thy neighbor. The amount of ignorant people and cowardly politicians in this country is truly outstanding.

ESPN: MLB looking at May start, all games in AZ, several changes
No idea how anyone would prefer no season when 1) our core will be accruing a year of service time either way and 2) we’ll all be going stir crazy from social distancing / quarantining. Three or four month of White Sox baseball on TV sounds like a gift from the gods right now.

That’s right, I totally forgot about that. I guess we’ll have to see the specifics then, because it seems crazy that someone optioned would automatically get a year of service time. But then again, this is all unprecedented territory so who really knows.

But Kopech got no service time last year?

So basically all the elite / popular clubs will have an advantage to sign the UDFA. Good job MLB!
