2025 MiLB Catch All thread
Bonemar is 19 years old. Let him develop. There is no need to rush him. The Sox have ruined many players by rushing their development. It's his first year in pro ball, and it's a grind. I'm fine with him staying the whole year in Low A or maybe sending him up to High A the last month of the season.

That wasn’t good video on Pierce at the Perfect Game Event. Struggled hitting off the guy throwing BP.

Keith Law Top 20 organization writeup
Scary writeup on Montgomery. Pitching went backwards for so many of our mid tier pitchers. Gone backwards: nastrani, Pallete, Eder, Gonzalez, Iraite, Zavala, Bush, Ramos, and Taylor. Definitely seemed more negative than positive even though the system is improving. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6104105/2025/02/04/white-sox-2025-top-20-prospects-keith-law/

Crochet Traded to Boston
Solid return for Crochet! Love the offseason so far. Revamping the analytics, international, and development departments! Long overdue!!! Love bringing other voices from other organizations. Love hearing that Aiden Miller was part of trade with Phillies and wanting more than what was being offered with Crawford and other pieces. Let’s hopefully sign a couple free agents with 1-2 year deals we can flip. Wait and trade Robert until someone steps up which I believe will happen. Crossing my fingers that Jerry passes away before the season opener!

2024 MiLB Catch All
It’s really sad how we haven’t developed a key player since Ordonez and Lee. No other organization in the last 20 plus years comes close to it except maybe Baltimore but that has changed quickly in such short period with Elias putting the resources in the international spending and development.

White Sox sign...
Don’t forget we signed 9 undrafted players. I’m sure another million was spent on them. You never know. I like taking more chances.

2024 Official Draft Thread - Day 3 1pm start
The 6-foot-6, 240-pound George has one of the most electric arms in college baseball but worked just two innings as a Texas freshman in 2023 and 11 1/3 as an Alabama sophomore this spring because he doesn't throw strikes. His fastball averages 99 mph and touches 102 but usually misses the zone badly, and most of the strikes he gets on his sharp upper-80s slider come on chases. There's nothing glaringly wrong with his delivery, but he's more physical than athletic. He has closer upside if he even can discover some feel for pitching.

Where the heck has Lacombe been this year. Hasn’t pitch an inning.

2024 Official Draft Thread - Day 1
Looking at the video on Bonemar there are some quick fixes to help him out. He barely loads and the lower half isn’t being used. Needs to be more athletic with his swing.
