I hope he gets a 1-2 year extension soon. If not, and if he goes into FA, then give him a QO and let him make the decision.

Routine.

The last time I remember a White Sox pitcher walk that many in a row was in the mid 1950's when we had a 16 year old bonus baby named Jim Derrington who walked the first four hitters in the game. Tough beginning for his first start.

Yermin Mercedes kissed one with two on.

He fell apart like a cheap mop. Hope he's not hurt.

His first HR. I wonder if he has a passport yet.

Charlotte probably a good bet for playoffs, if that makes any difference.

I'm sure it was. Don't know why Robert does that stuff. Just play the game.

Jet lag.

Great word. When we traded Rios to Rangers and got Leury, it was a salary dump. I loved the trade, even though I knew little about Leury. Then, he just kept improving every year. Turns out, Leury is a much bet player than Rios ever was for the Sox.

AFL is not that stressful. They don't play every day, not even close to it. Next year, I hope he will be too advanced for AFL

On the 1B food chain, I can see Sheets going to Charlotte and Vaughn to either W-S or Birmingham.

Zangari is in his 5th year of pro ball and at Kanny.

Lopez might be the worst starting pitcher in the league. Who is worse?

Is Darryl a defensive guru?

Bmags, get a life. And, why don't you talk about Ben Bailey

who cares

The initial post in this thread was negative on Moncada. Since then, 102 pages of pretty positive stuff. .

Where does that come from?

Get me one more Ben Bailey, please

yes.

What bonus did Bailey get from Sox?

RE: Mieses. But that is what Law allegedly said when told of the Tatis giveaway: "Oh, no." I said it, too. Plus, Samardizja is not the same totally broken down pitcher that Shields was. Plus, Mieses has 2+ seasons of pro ball with 100 games and 500 PA's. Tatis had none. Plus, Tatis had a bonus of around $800,000. I don't know what Mieses got. Not a valid comparison. We should have kicked Tatis' tires. Incompetence got in the way.

Just sign him to a modest 7 year extension ala Eloy. Problem solved.

He stole 50 or so his first year in minors, but that was probably 15-20 pounds ago.
