Ball go far.

I said Trout would be crazy, damn. But it's fun to dream on, especially since our CF situation is not fun.

I think the fact that Roch is constantly #1 on every list whereas #2 keeps rotating is the best argument for him.

Caleb Wilson really wants to be a Bull

If Getz wants to go full crazy: Mike Trout

Kohei Leehtani

I thought I would prefer full ABS, but the challenges are so much fun that I want to keep this system. 1) It actually makes me appreciate how good some umps are. 2) The players having to make the split second challenge decisions is a fun mental game. Fans that bemoan the DH replacing the "strategic" element should absolutely love the addition of challenges / ABS. 3) Steve Stone laughing about the Mariners not having an ABS challenge late in the game the other night because they just wasted one was hilarious.

For the love of god just jettison Beni already.

It would be insanity if they DFA'd him instead of using his options.

Korey Lee has a career 3.00 ERA

Indeed. Edgar Quero is the prime example. Dude is going through hell right now and not hitting remotely like he's shown he can in the past, but they need him up so he's on the roster. But Romo is out performing him, so now Quero is sitting on the bench and we know is getting sent down once Teel comes up. Over the last two years, Quero is getting the reps. This year he's sitting until they can send him down. I think things would be different if Acuna had options.

...yes?

Home runs are fun.

Can't believe I forgot these two, especially Bonemer. The massive, massive difference being that Vargas didn't have to compete with dudes for playing time and the Sox were horrendous enough they could let him play through it. If they want to make the playoffs, that ain't happening with Acuna.

Appropriate that @WestEddy is making these game threads tbh

AYYYYYY

Well now I feel like an asshole after them saying it's a medical emergency in the stadium.

Did someone get shot again?

Ozzie crying tears of joy at that RBI

As someone that eviscerated Vargas, if Acuna is getting playing time in two years, that mean several of the following have failed: Colson, Murakami, Vargas, Meidroth, Antonacci, Gonzalez, Bergolla, Carlson, Roch (supposedly), Braden, Baldwin, Fauske, Zavala, Lodise, Wolkow, Mogollon, Burrowes, Burke (he's reviving himself!) Idk if you want to bank on the zero power, low walk rate, bad defensive player beating out all of those guys.

The doomed-to-fail Gonzo CF experiment begins now!

Ayyyyyyyy 🤘

Bulls are weird cause they'll have a lot of fun toys, a lot of them raw (which is why my slight lean is to Boozer). Tier 1 — Core: Giddey, Buzelis, Wilson/Boozer, #15 (hopefully) Tier 2 — Young, raw, toolsy: Essengue, Miller, Dillingham Tier 3 — Solid dudes with defined roles: Tre, Okoro, Stix Shooting guard is the glaring hole. Funnily enough if you look at the free agents, Ayo is one of (if not the) best fit.

So many people on social seem to be down on Boozer, but every scouting report I've read on him would make me giddy. It makes me think of the Luka draft. Here's the super young, super skilled guy dominating the competition that doesn't jump out the gym - his athleticism comes from how he sees the court and uses his body. The Suns and Kings fell in love with Ayton and Bagley. I'd be ecstatic for the Bulls to get either. Like you said, Wilson's athleticism and defensive upside is mouth watering. Boozer gives the Bulls another playmaker besides Giddey and adds some desperately needed rebounding. My very, very slight lean would be Boozer due to playmaking go for Mara or Cenac with the 15th. I really, really hope Graham nails the coaching hire.
