Chicago White Sox

I still think Howard will be the pick unless Detmers is there.

Don’t forget Vera too.

Wasn’t Kiley and/or other baseball analysts convinced we were going to take Singer two years ago? Misdirection is a KW special.

Oh gotcha, makes more sense.

God you suck

Holy fuck...what a fucking clown. Trump being POTUS has got to be the biggest embarrassment in the history of mankind.

Didn’t Jimmy say it’s someone ranked in the 60’s per MLBPipeline? If so, PCA wouldn’t qualify.

Lol at the author calling Reinsdorf a “cartoon villain”.

Ok, but that doesn’t change the fact a lot of these kids are raised in single parent homes. But I guess fuck em because their parents should have known better right?

First off, I fully disagree with you that all public schools are shitty. That’s just total bullshit and there are definitely different degrees of bad even among just the shitty ones. And again, if you are raised in a broken home with a single working parent, it’s very hard to be disciplined enough to stay in & do your homework and not go out & get into trouble. You act like this all so simple to overcome, but ignore the reality of the vicious cycle that is poverty. And BTW, your tax dollars don’t magically put everything on an even playing field, they simply provide a bare minimum quality of life.

Affirmative action doesn’t really help when you come from a poor, broken home and the only access to education you have is a shitty inner city school. What exactly is your background? Based on how little sympathy you have for those less fortunate you must have overcome some serious shit in life.

What?

Do you think public city schools offer the same quality of education that affluent suburban schools do? Do you think growing up with one parent is just as effective for your long-term success as growing up with two? Do you think it’s easier to get ahead in life if you come from money or poverty?

What is “community led public safety” exactly?

I guess teams shouldn’t left-handed college arms anymore if one as highly regarded as Carlos Rodon busted.

Thank god your an internet troll and not a real life human being.

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.

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?

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!

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.

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?
