Amazing how I'm more excited to watch Nastrini than the MLB club.

Pretty bold that Chappy is gonna be a top 15 prospect, but I'll accept it. In all seriousness: Burke is one of the more exciting guys on this list I can see a Hackenburg vs. Lee battle in Spring Training, with Lee getting the advantage due to his big power Did Burrowes mostly fall due to new acquisitions / what should we be expecting from a 19-year-old LatAm signing? Likewise, Veras holding steady after new acquisitions is pretty dope Carela for Middleton just seems like a good parting gift from Hahn Interest in seeing where Tatum ends up.

Tbh if the players succeeded I could have seen it succeeding. But McDermott was the White Sox draft pick of the NBA

It's a bad rebrand, but it's what they decided upon in 2014 when the original Oklahoma Joe wanted to reopen in Oklahoma, around the time you latched onto KC culture. I mean, if anyone supports bad rebrands it should be the guy who coined Drain Duo, right Eduardo?

We getzam.

I suck at reading StatCast but it looks like it declined? https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/aaron-nola-605400?stats=statcast-r-pitching-mlb Also, I feel like teams might be wary after a lot of last year's mega deals busted. It's JR's fantasy.

I'm afraid of Sprinkle being another Cleuluis Rondon. Really hoping Vera ditches the injury bug. As for the guys on here that I'm excited about: Game thread favorite Javier Mogollón Aldrín Batista - if the Sox screwed up and whiffed on a signee, it doesn't look like a bad rebound Tim Elko. Like Bmags, I think I'd have ranked him, but I am wary of high .BABIP, high K% guys (thanks Yoan) Calvin Harris, because lefty catchers are exciting Shane Murphy, because until Ky Bush and Jake Eder joined the system, there was such a desperate need for a lefty starter that he was the prince that was promised. Also "feel to pitch." Also, as always, appreciate these lists James!

He's got a 4.55 ERA, 4.23 FIP and is allowing a lot of homers (not as many as Gio and Lynn, but just behind them). He's getting a multi-year, but I don't know about 9 figures unless it's a desperate team

I'm gonna try and make my suicide squad that JR/Getz/Pedro will try to sell us on Gio on a prove it deal working with Katz ReyLo the closer returns Nola, this year's big FA Trayce Thompson returns as the fourth OF, team "really likes what he showed" in his short stint Pedro really pushes for a Salvador Perez trade, but Jerry doesn't want to take on the extra money. Team signs Martin "hitting .186" Maldonado due to his 2019 stint in Kansas City. Naperville's Nicky Lopez is brought on due to the winning culture in ATL, but also KC. Jose Rodriguez, Quero, and Veras tear up Charlotte while Pedro/Getz say "they need more seasoning" before he disturbs the vet presence in the clubhouse that is Lopez, Maldonado, and Sheets.

Fell to their knees in a Joe's Kansas City BBQ.

Danny Farquhar almost died and was performing better.

Man needs Katz more than he needs ReyLo.

If you're a big market team and you get a top 6 pick, you can't pick within the top 10 consecutive years.

DFA'd, now in Charlotte. And yeah, Garcia might be fun. He's only thrown 7 innings in Charlotte, but hasn't been obliterated, which is a good sign in that park/this system.

I ran the lottery one time after this comment and they got knocked down to 8th. Order was: STL, Detroit, Oakland, San Diego, KC, SF, Colorado, White Sox Second time I ran it they got third. Next time they got the top pick. They can easily fall out of the top 6.

From the bubble I think Touissant, Schlotens, and Martin (despite the injury) all hang around. Same for Patino on the dregs. It's likely that none of them amount to anything, but even if the Sox sign multiple starters, having those four, Mena and Nastrini is immediately better emergency starter depth than this year's plan of Martin after he ended 2022 with an injury.

Does Gio legitimately need Katz as his pitching coach

I'm hoping for a top 2 pick, then they do smart moves in the off-season. But it'll be like #6 with Perez as the big off-season move

I guess this what happens when we hire a guy from the Royals' player development department to oversee the a former Royals bench coach.

Man who wants to be in charge of farm system and man who wants to manage the team.

To reiterate from another thread

Wes Kath had a baller day though. Maybe, just maybe, Chris Getz's new farm director will teach him how to hit.

Not really a great day in the org

Getz meant to send Popeye to AAA, but selected the Sox since Charlotte and Chicago are close on a drop down menu.

C'mon Lee
