I'm awaiting the overreaction to missing out on the whales and throwing prospect currency at questionable stopgap veterans.

Keep tanking, but hope the youngins start to show something.

Not if they aren't exceeding 300 million.

Bummer. Time for the popcorn at least.

It's not going to happen until I'm on a plane to New Orleans on Thursday. Sorry folks.

Great! Now the thread will return to being tolerable for a few hours.

Huh. You don't say.

He also said. "I can’t worry about who’s not here. I’ve been focused on the guys that are here. I have to move forward that way. And like any team, anything can happen. You make adjustments as those changes occur, if they occur."

It's providing some entertaining lunch reading for me at the very least. With how this off-season has gone, I don't know how anyone can take anything at face value right now.

You mean like it might be a silly leverage play by the White Sox? Thinking.

Yup. After two down years. The hype train was rolling hard after his freshman year though.

I just realized Andrew Vaughn put up better numbers last year, than Seth Beer did in his best season. I feel like the masses would be more gaga over him if he had a better name. He's a super interesting follow this year. My most anticipated next to Misner.

I can't tell until Parkman gets here.

EVERYTHING IS THE MATTER.

The sky is falling momentum? Good riddance. I still feel like radio silence regarding the White Sox is a good omen.

This is now the Nick Madrigal thread.

Plus coming off a wrist injury.

I don't think this drops his stock all that much. If he shows progress with the hit tool while still being a superb defensive catcher, he's still a top of the first candidate imo.

Indeed it is. He was always going to be an interesting follow this year. Progress with the hit tool and he would solidify himself as a top 5 guy. Not all that different from Joey Bart.

Oof.

There are rumors that aren't aligned with our desires, so the typical cast of characters are melting down. Which i think is the third component in the Soxtalk Manny Machado flow chart.

This thread is beautiful in its inanity.
