Don't get why fans/media keep speculating a move from SS for Tim. First, why would you move a top 12 defensive player from his position (when he is young and improving)? Second, why would he even be moving? For a 5'7 Madrigal to play SS? For Machado, who is having a hilariously bad defensive season at SS? Third, why move him to the outfield long-term when that's arguably our biggest organizational strength beside pitching? Between Robert/Jimenez/Adolfo/Rutherford/Gonzalez/Basabe/Call/FA, I'm confident we'll be fine there.

I really wish there were a pitcher in this draft (after Mize) who was a clear cut top 10 pick, a guy with good stuff and not "competitiveness" or "craftiness" like Singer/Liberatore...

Bohm? I mean, if he gets to us, of course.

A Palka/Davidson platoon at DH could be something. Plus, with Leury as a super sub, it wouldn't cost you a valuable bench spot.

7) Anderson's defensive gem in the 1st

I obviously don't know him personally, but I'd imagine he'd much rather be rewarded for his excellent play by playing for the White Sox rather than a minor league all-star game.

My guess is he joins us in Chicago for Friday's game against Milwaukee

Didn't it already pass? I thought it was usually in May and teams wait until June because it sometimes stretches to the first week of June and they want to be safe.

He only singled but he at least is ready for AAA, and Hahn said "next couple weeks" like 3-4 weeks ago

Enough's enough. Promote Eloy.

This is something a lot of guys do nowadays but it isn't called. Why have the rule if it isn't enforced?

My god... why do you think he "fell down", Joe?

Happy? ?

Relatively. Wasn't a near HR but the guy still had to go back a bit

It would be very, very great! I would compile a great roster and make the Cubs pay for it!

Call me when he gets to 500

Right, I guess I was assuming Santiago would also take that role soon.

Volstad, Beck

Thank you. I'm tired of people citing stats from like a 50 PA sample saying he should bat as a LH against LHP. He needs more time. He's not this bad against LHP. And I doubt he'd be much better as a lefty against LHP.

Keep politics OUT of Hollywood!* *Unless they align with mine

I think he's a caricature (as you alluded to) to most nowadays, but he still has his base and that's probably enough to keep him going.
