2022 MLB Draft Thread
https://www.espn.com/mlb/insider/story/_/id/34013502/2022-mlb-mock-draft-10-kiley-mcdaniel-projects-first-round 26. Chicago White Sox Drew Gilbert, CF, Tennessee The White Sox tend to take college bats with their top pick, then get bolder with later selections, and that's exactly what the board is giving them here. Gilbert is one of the safest picks in the draft and might be the first non-reliever to make the big leagues from this class. He's in play in the late teens as well.

2022 MLB Draft Thread
Want nothing to do with Shultz in the first round. The guy has barely thrown any innings the past 2 years. Really don't trust that arm holding up as a starter.

Did we get an update on Reynaldo Lopez? Was it back spasms or something else?

Chicago vs Boston Game 3
Nasty!!!

White Sox tried to buy Codify
Definitely worth a listen. Hopefully Sox smarten up take advantage and buy the company.

4/27 Games
Very happy with James Beard progress. That's a welcome surprise without the amount of development time he lost.

4/18 Game
I thought Bush was no longer playing baseball. Threw in the towel.

Hendricks had no command of his pitches. That was the problem

2022 Prospect Predictions
I'm picking 2 hitters and 2 pitchers. I think Bryan Ramos is going to explode this year. Shoulder is healthy and I think will be on some Top 100 lists next year. Love the hit tool and has enough power to stay at 3B. Crossing my fingers Sox don't trade him in a future deal. Also, going to pick Luis Mieses. Still super young and has a lot of nice tools. Last year we saw a lot growth and I believe it will continue to this year with his hitting tools. He needs to continue progressing with the knowing the strike zone and getting some more BB's to the profile. I like Andrew Dalquist taking a big leap this year. He added some needed weight in his bottom half/core and I think that will help with velocity and mechanics getting deeper in the games. I think he will make the biggest leap this year among are young pitchers. I'm going to throw one out from left field and pick Isiah Carranza. He's another year removed from Tommy John and his velocity came back towards the tale end of last year.

That's a brutal last name.

Micker Adolfo DFA'd
I've always been a fan of Adolfo. Health has gotten into his way. This a player I can see that could haunt us down the road. Adolfo has a lot of talent. Worried we will get pennies on the dollar with the hole we are in with no options.

Lance Lynn has slight tendon tear, 4 weeks no throwing off mound
Harvey suspended for 80 games

Crochet having Tommy John surgery Tuesday
Vaughn for Keller is a horrible proposal. Keller has two pitches. Fastball is flat and has horrible command of it. Talk about future role will be in the bullpen.

Manaea to Padres, Sox were in on him
That blows Manaea! Why the fuck do the Padres need another starter

Pro Scouting Department
Question Who is in charge of overseeing and is the head major league scout for the White Sox organization. I know Nick Hostleter when he stepped down mentioned he was going to help out in this area. This has been a big problem with the organization for a very long time. The amount of money and what we've gotten in return has been absolutely horrendous. 2013 Keppinger , Lindstrom, Wise 2014 Felipe Paulino, Scott Downs, Belisario 2015 Adam LaRoche, Melky Cabrera, Geovanny Soto, Emilio Bonifacio, Gordon Beckham, Zach Duke 2016 Dioner Navaro, Alex Avila Austin Jackson, Jimmy Rollins, Matt Latos, Matt Albers, Brett Lawrie, James Shields 2017 Derrek Holland 2018 Wellingon Castillo, Miguel Gonzalez, Hector Santiago, Alex Colome 2019 Kelvin Hererra, Jon Jay, James McCann, Yonder Alonso, Ervin Santana 2020 Edwin Encarncion, Gio Gonzalez, Steve Chishek, Dallas Keuchel, Yaz Grandal, Jonathan Lucroy, Detweiler, Nomar Mazara 2021 Liam, Hendricks, Lance Lynn, Adam Eaton , Jake Lamb, Brian Goodwin, Billy Hamilton, Craig Kimbrel, Cesar Hernandez I know I'm missing some trades from the midseason/trade deadline. I didn't have enough time to add those players.

Kimbrel traded for AJ Pollock
3.1 WAR last year in 384 ABs and solid splits. Very happy with the move. Let’s stay healthy now!!!
-
Offseason Part 3 - Because Part 2 Was a Dud
It’s laughable that people on this board think Lux or Bellinger can come back in a Kimbrel deal. Keep on dreaming.
-
Offseason Part 3 - Because Part 2 Was a Dud
Abreu $20, Kuechel $18, Kimbrel $16, Harrison and Velazquez $5.5 million possibly coming off. I know there are arbitration raises and Anderson jumps up with his option.
-
Offseason Part 3 - Because Part 2 Was a Dud
I think Are you counting Kuechel? I wasn’t counting him on the next years payroll.
-
Offseason Part 3 - Because Part 2 Was a Dud
Abreu will be getting similar deals to what Nelson Cruz 1/13 million would get. Abreu will be a dh sooner rather than later. I know Abreu is a little younger, but his body has taken a beating the past couple years.
-
Offseason Part 3 - Because Part 2 Was a Dud
We have $60 million off the books next year if you include Abreu and Kimbrel. He makes 10.2 million this year and give him a 3 year extension between 12-15 million per. Would still have plenty of money for Giolito.
-
Offseason Part 3 - Because Part 2 Was a Dud
I’m staying away from Montas at that price and past knee issues with all the weight he carries. I’m all in on trading for Manaea and signing him to an extension. Fine with Burger or Sheets headlining the deal.

Offseason Part 2 - Lets the Rumors & Action Begin
Michael Reinsdorf is on record only wanting to be involved with the Bulls. That was around 5 years ago.
