Who do you suppose is in play for 1-1? I would say Condon, Bazzana, Smith, for sure. Cags doesn’t seem like their type. Maybe the high schoolers? Wetherholt is their type but he’s hurt again. I wouldn’t be surprised if Braden Montgomery is in there too, Maybe Burns? Again, he doesn’t seem like their type either.

I love Baldwin. He's not that toolsy, but he does a little bit of everything and he plays smart. Both he and Quero have really high baseball I.Q.s.

Why? Can he also hit?

So, who's gonna win more games this year, the Sox or the Bears. I've got the Bears down for at least 7.

I like this thinking. Cannon has looked the best he ever has in his career. Might as well give him the shot. Certainly gives me more to root for while also returning Charlotte to the status of having no starting pitchers.

Hard to care one way or the other about signing Pham. Just don't ask him about his fantasy team.

Eder getting hit hard in the 3rd. Currently 3-2, but he is in real trouble.

Baldwin and Quero both just missed. Go out on the warning track. Still 2-2.

Much better 2nd for Eder. Error by Baldwin extended the inning, but he threw a lot of quality strikes with 2Ks.

Elko with a booming HR.

2-0. Eder does not have a lot.

Eder walks a guy and gives up a long double in the first. Not that sharp yet today.

Yeah. Seems like a nice kid, but I would be shocked if he made it through the whole season.

They're going to embarrass themselves whether you want them to or not, so might as well enjoy the ride.

Okay, figuring Keller and Clevinger get the first cracks at the rotation, how many of thes top ten get a shot at some point? Flexen and Soroka look like short-timers and they don't have a 5th starter. I am going to say that Nastrini, Thorpe, Eder, and Cannon all get at least 1 mlb start this season.

Sosa has a lot of great plays made on him in right center.

God, Benintendi is bad. That ball has to be caught.

I have Eder ahead of Iriarte. I think they are both 50 FV, but Eder has both a higher upside and more track record.

I think you have the right 10 guys on the list. Thank you for it. I'm higher on Eder, MacDougal, and Taylor than maybe you are, but I think these guys are clearly ahead of Gordon and Batista for now. That may change in Batista's case as he's looked really good so far since the Sox acquired him.

Jacob Gonzalez tried a drag bunt his first AB. Odd strategy for a guy that slow to first.

Post deadline? They're plenty bad now. They might get better as they get rid of these guys.

Jesse Rogers is a Cubs guy. He may be right but... ignore.

Quero barely missed an oppo grand slam. Sac fly. He has 5 rbi.

Thorpe might be done 6IP 4H 1R 1ER 1bb 7K. Basically one ball hit hard, a long fly out to center.
