1. If it's not related to the coronavirus at all, it doesn't fly. Biden's VP candidates, investigations into Sec. Pompeo, Biden gaffes, Trump tweets not related to coronavirus, etc. are not coronavirus related. George Floyd is not fair game 2. Anything politicians do concerning coronavirus is fair game. The Biden / Trump mask on Memorial Day story is fair game, legislation discussed is fair game, racial disparities in the handling/impact of coronavirus are fair game. 3. You get one warning, after that a 10-day suspension, then 30-day suspension, then ban. 4. You may appeal to the moderators and admins to justify why something belongs, but following the appeal, the decision is final.

Ok, discussing 9th rounders is way different than discussing 11th overall picks. For a while it looked like the Sox hit the absolute jackpot with Alex Hansen. Dude had 1:1 ceiling in the draft, then cratered. Then he flashed his stuff again, then cratered.

Publicly? How much smoke we talking?

To play Devil's Advocate and, at the risk of falling into White Sox player comparisons, he could be another Quintana (Sox version) or Buehrle (with velocity). Pitchers with profiles of Kelley and Crochet have high bust rates, Detmers less so. We have the ace upside with Giolito, Kopech, Cease, and if he's ever healthy and locked in, Rodon. Lopez has #2 upside. Getting a stabilizing force isn't a bad thing. Note: I'd be happy with any of these three.

Which almost makes me think Bailey is not the pick.

The "big" name is Josue Guerrero.

That grand slam. Alexei's rookie year was such a joy to watch.

Because for a brief, fleeting moment I forgot what timeline we were in.

For what it's worth, I wasn't saying this sarcastically. If it's the Black Sox and we need a Midwest team, and if the Central Divisions are going to be merged, make it the team the Black Sox tossed the World Series against.

It becomes a Cubs home game.

I'd rather it be the Reds.

Campaign issue.

For real. Dude got a lot lighter and that speaks to work ethic. As for his pitching, he's pitched professionally and 2-way players are becoming more of a thing. If you get him, you try it out and see if it falls.

LHP / RF right now, which is very different than Viciedo, who came up as a 3B, then transitioned to mostly LF as a right handed bat.

He's a chunky Cuban That's it.

Haircuts are taboo. People are working from home. And now marijuana may save us all. The hippies moment is now.

For what it's worth, James outlined a strategy by the Sox to get both of them.

Arturas cleaning house.

I'm laughing my ass off picturing this senior's face. Like, dude swished a jumper on Jordan. That's as great a feeling as you can get. But the leaving your hand in the air...man, that's like daring God to smite you.

Actually according to data from the Global Health Security Index, we were the best equipped nation to handle a pandemic. https://www.statista.com/chart/20629/ability-to-respond-to-an-epidemic-or-pandemic/ Before anyone asks, GHSI is from Johns Hopkins University.

It's pretty much accepted that next year's NBA season will start late, rumor is Christmas.

If you don't call the fire department, the number of burning buildings plummets.

Last week Trump said testing is overrated and that our numbers are only high because of testing. "If we didn’t do any testing, we would have very few cases.” https://www.marketwatch.com/story/trump-says-coronavirus-testing-overratedclaims-fewer-cases-if-no-testing-2020-05-14

While this isn't my preferred route, especially if the Sox are gonna go all in on Cespedes, you want the BPA. If the Sox think Kjerstad has the absolute best chance of being the best major leaguer, go for it. Before last season we had seemingly amazing OF prospect depth behind Eloy and Robert. Now it's barren.
