To be fair, Mark Buehrle is one of the craziest draft picks of all-time and the key to his pitching wasn't his stuff, it was the fact that he's one of the best defensive pitchers of all-time and pitched stupid fast.

Time to expect the underslots?

The reaction to Jacob Gonzalez tells me otherwise. And he was ranked right where the Sox took him, so that makes me even more confused.

To be fair, this is better than when Hostetler loved calling it "a sixth tool" and suddenly they were drafting six tool players.

Any time the Padres are interested in a Sox player it makes me want to keep the Sox player.

After Misiorowski got named an All-Star, Houser deserves it if more AL pitchers drop. Legit great signing from Getz.

Andrew Vaughn putting pressure on the Cubs to acquire Houser. Thanks Vaughn. But also seriously wtf. That was murdered.

omg they did it

The duality of fan

Bo Jackson kid was not disappointed!

Dear God, Teel is having to turn into a goalie

Sosa crushes another.

SOSA! That home run was smooth.

Good play Vargas

Benevolent men of industry.

Brewers: "Andrew what if you lifted the ball"

Wait, is Shane Smith suddenly fat? Did I miss a talking point?

I guess Brooklyn Dodgers fans and the Sox just don't mix.

I am once again asking for a lineup that includes all of Colson, Meidroth, Sosa, Vargas, Quero and Teel

Just cause it's worth mentioning: What a renaissance for Sale after the injured years in Boston. He's finally punching his ticket to Cooperstown. I'm guessing they'll give him a Red Sox hat cause of the World Series, but each chapter is really interesting. Unless he's got 5 more years in him, his longest run (and most sustained success) will have been with the White Sox. Had his most dominant season (2017) and World Series (2018) in Boston, but the increase in velocity those two years laid the groundwork for his injuries. Two All-Star seasons in Atlanta, finally gets the Cy Young.

Well you see, if Shane Smith continues to develop and blossom into a perennial All-Star, that builds excitement for a team and could lead to a new stadium at the 78th. Houser will be gone, thus no new stadium.

I agree with this for one big reason: Shane Smith is getting in based on the strength of his first 9 starts, so even though Adrian Houser is pretty much just on a heater, that's the entirety of his season. But like you said: It doesn't really matter either way.
