Eloy at DH. First time?

Lip, what is the cost of another AZL team?

.True. Most Mock drafts had Collins high in first round. They didn't scout him either.

Add Herrera to your list.

Looks like the acquisition of Herrera will jeopardize Hahn getting Executive of the Year award.

Have Sox put the brakes on Moncada, or is it just my imagination?

Rodon's agent is famous for two reasons. One is to have his plays seek Free Agency asap. IOW, walk away.

I still remember saying right after the trade that Hahn held out for Ynoa, and that he would not have made the trade without him.

The only reason we are even discussing Collins to this length is because he is a number 1 draft pick. If he were a 10th rounder, he would be stuck behind Yermin.

They fund the Pension Plan.

Never, as far as I know. I just don't think his high minor league walk rate translates to the majors.

The reason for all this negativity is that Zack's minor league offensive stats never really jumped out at you, other than a high walk rate, which inflated his OPS. He'll get more opportunities somewhere.

Good thing he caught that foul pop in ASG.

You say this before Dalquist throws his first pro pitch. I sense that you know something about him that most of us here do not know. Why are you so high on Dalquist? I had not even heard of him before the draft, not that that is an acid test or anything. Just wondering.

I just don't get the Reed acquisition. We cut Alonso for obvious reasons. Vaughn is waiting in the wings, developing. Jose is solid in the mean time. Collins, who needs activity, is there to fill in. So we pick up Reed, and my wheels are spinning, metaphorically.

SCCWS, are you saying that Reed >>> Abreu?

So we cut Alonso and get AJ Reed. My wheels are spinning.

Fathom has a sense of humor.

Sox need another minor league team.

Why do you guys have Dunning so high?

White Sox just acquired Palka last year.

Often, GM's are reluctant to give a marginal guy a QO, and then regret it. Case in point, DJ Lemehieu. Rockies said no, Yanks said yes, and Yanks won. Colorado GM got roasted by the Press this weekend.

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.
