They both did it before, with Chapman. Their fanbases didn't seem to care too much

One of my issues is this: the baseball world has seemingly rallied against Heimlich and his actions, which is something I understand. Yet people have no problem idolizing Aroldis Chapman. Sure, many do not support him, but he's still an MLB poster child, and official MLB accounts always post videos of his fast pitches and his highlights. To me, that's extremely hypocritical. I know their circumstances are different, but they're both seemingly awful human beings

Passan and Rosenthal think he gets drafted today

I don't think this will happen, but if we were to draft Heimlich, would you continue to be a White Sox fan? I honestly can't say that I would.

Lol, we're really that scared of promotions that we're gonna start him in Kanny instead of W-S?

Would not be surprised to see the Yankees or Cubs draft him

It was 2 years ago (for Bart, at least), I wouldn't just excuse it as "they were kids". Political takes are one thing but implying that slavery wasn't that bad because people died in the Civil War is pretty low class

Littell is the guy I wanted in the Kahnle/Robertson/Frazier deal but I believe he was traded a week before that deal, anyway. High expectations for him

I'll just present this without comment

How is Kumar Rocker still out there?

Steele is a really good pick. I fully expected him to go in the first round.

Then why aren't we talking about moving Madrigal, who was announced as a SS? Why not try him in LF or something?

I like Madrigal but why are we in a rush to move two young, extremely high ceiling defenders from their current positions? Not to mention they're both already top 10 defenders at their positions... (Anderson may be 11 but you get the point)

Isn't it usually longer for the first few?

Always sell relievers

So lots of buzz about Mize falling and SFG having an agreement with Winn. 1- whoever Detroit has an agreement with 2- Winn 3- Mize Would let us pick between Bart, Bohm, Madrigal, and Singer. That would be quite the turn.

Man, if we can actually snag Bart...

I've felt the same way about Welington Castillo.

Thanks. I'll be sure to stay off until after we pick, then

Are there spoilers in this chat tomorrow night, by the way? How does it operate?

Even more than Bart? If you count a catcher as a hitter I guess

I agree with your guess.

Yeah, to both of you, I am banking on the Bohm to Philly being a foregone conclusion as actually being misdirection. I'm probably wrong, but something about Madrigal's profile just screams Phillies to me. Of course, if they do actually pass on Bohm, I don't trust our FO to take him. Hell, I don't even know if I'd trust them to take Bart if he somehow fell to us. But I'd like to at least believe that they'd value those two over Singer.
