They're sure saving a lot of money last 3 picks... Hopefully not all of that will be eaten up by 3rd and 4th rounders, and we can make a splash tomorrow.

2018: 1-3, 5.69 ERA, 26 G 9 GS, 55.1 IP, 39 K, 21 BB, .307 BA 2019: 4-5. 7.15 ERA, 27 G, 8 GS, 61.2 IP, 47 K, 19 BB, .316 BA

Weems dude's numbers are baaaaadd.

Thank you. Just needed a quick refresher. So if you sign a guy for $150K in round 15, the $25k will come out of your slot values for round 1-10?

Can someone give me a couple sentence reminder on how the slots work? Don't sign someone in the top 10, lose the slot value. But can distribute the overall slot value in picks round 1-10 however you please? Are there restrictions on picks in round 11+ in terms of overall dollar amount?

7-2 with a 2.58 ERA this season at Boston College. 11 GS. 73 IP, 65 K, 28 BB.

None of these guys in MLB.com's top 100. More 4th round and on guys to keep an eye on maybe?

I didn't really want Vaughn a couple weeks ago. Its White Soxy for sure, but considering how the first 2 picks went, it was the right choice. I am excited to have him and I hope he rakes him way to Chicago by next summer.

I think we see Abreu sign a 2 years $25M type deal with the Sox either this summer, or early in the offseason. Plays 1B next season, and shifts to DH whenever Vaughn is ready.

Blowing close to 20% of his service time for a handful of starts was idiotic. They could have easily have kept him there until April 2019, and that was always my take even when they brought him up and before he got hurt. It’s spilled milk now, but I hated the move when it happened (tho was excited to watch him pitch!) and hated it even more when he blew his elbow. Is what it is now.

Ok, I guess that is kind of obvious so thought you were getting at something else. Nevermind.

Huh?

FWIW, he'd be tied for 4th on the team in OBP. I too would rather just roll with Tilson and Cordell and see what we have, but he could be slight upgrade on those 2. That being said, he has no future in this org, and those two may (albeit a small chance). Let him go on his rehab. Maybe he'll be needed due to injury when he's ready. If not, just release him. Or let him play for a couple weeks and see if someone who take the ~$2M off our hands, and then bring Tilson back.

Tilson, despite already being DFA'd once, has an option, so I assume he'd be the one to go down to Charlotte if/when Jay is ready to go. I assume the Sox will give him his full rehab assignment, though.

Makes sense.

They already completely screwed the pooch on Kopech (obviously a little different being a pitcher), but they cannot afford another massive fuck up like that.

The bolded seems much more likely than Vaughn or Bleday going #1, in my less than 100% informed opinion.

I think he'll be up on April 25th or whatever the exact date is that the Sox get 7 seasons of control. And that is exactly what they should do.

Do you, though? You complain an awful lot about the dollars due to a few White Sox, even though they're fairly small sums.

I really don't understand why the O's would pass on Rutschman to take Vaughn. If they pass on Rutschman, you'd think they'd do it for a high schooler like Witt who moreso fits their timeline. Though if Witt goes 1, Rutschman probably goes 2. So here is to hoping the O's are idiots and take Vaughn tonight!

Spending $15M or whatever on Keuchel could theoretically mean there is $15M less to spend next offseason. That is the rationale, though I am with you. I don't think Keuchel makes any sense for the Sox on a 1 year deal. 2-3 year deal, I am definitely game. Don't think there is mutual interest, however.

For Kelvin Herrera maybe

I am far from worried, but he has some adapting to do. He is pretty easy to get out right now, and it seems all he can hit is fastballs, and no one is throwing him any. He'll get better with time.

Lol, I said 3 of 4 would be huge. We’re 1 win away from that. Not sure how the remakes me a kook aid swallower. I am just cheering for my favorite team.
