DirtySox

I kinda had a suspicion that the Sox are on the periphery of Realmuto. I know Kenny is salivating at his abundance of outfield prospect currency.

Sure. Because having balls in the air automatically equates to blowing your wad on the runner up free agent as a consolation prize. I meant they are likely looking at pitching options, inning eaters, backup catchers, trade opportunities, buy low candidates etc. We know where you sit though. Your posts make it clear enough. FWIW if the Sox don't land Machado or Harper I hope they stay the rebuild course. No reason to jump the gun a la the Padres last year.

I took that as they are not wearing Harper blinders and have multiple balls in the air. As they should.

Yep.

This comment from Hahn makes me happy. I don't want to do a half-ass marginal free agent binge if we miss out on Harper. Be smart. We are still in the midst of only year two of a rebuild.

I'm totally okay with this if Hahn comes up empty.

I could get on board with Josh Jung too. As someone who prefers drafting bats in the 1st round, it's looking pretty robust at number three.

Stupid early mock draft from MLB Pipeline. Top 10 picks only. https://www.mlb.com/news/2019-early-mlb-mock-draft/c-301452552?tid=151437456

Tear it down! Prospects prospects prospects.

Yes!

Callis/Mayo will be doing a draft chat via Twitter to coincide with the top 50 list if anyone has questions.

Bah. I was going to post about Misner. He's my sleeper to push into the top tier.

Would love to see an improved hit tool from Langeliers this year. He's a stud defensively. If he can show some consistency with the bat I'm sold.

Hah. He's number two on the BA Top 2018 Cape Cod Prospects list. Right behind Vaughn. Will post both. Paywall. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/2018-cape-cod-league-top-10-prospects/

There was a Baseball America Cape Cod write-up on him not too long ago. Will see if I can find it.

I appreciate it! I have enough negativity in my life. Don't need a constant stream of it from reading a White Sox message board.

Has to be Yanks or Phillies I reckon.
