Could the Sox rebrand as lovable losers?
They’d have to be lovable first.

5/7 Games
So interesting to watch Braden's progression. He's drafted as a power guy, but he's taken the first month or so to put up good at bats, not overswing, and take what the pitchers are giving him. Now the power's coming as well. He has a great approach. Would not change a thing. Would rather have a guy hit 25 HR with a good average and some walks than 40 and hit a buck nothing because he's trying to pull everything. Also, his defense and baserunning are very good. He's their top position prospect in my mind, followed by Bonemer and then Teel. But that's just my opinion.

To put Oppor’s outing into context, Carolina is probably the most stacked team in the minors. I think he’s a top 10 prospect for me.

Luis Robert trade thread: La Pantera stays.
I wouldn’t want either, let alone both. I would take Sal Stewart, I guess. Rather trade with Dodgers for Hope.

Zavala 2-3, double 2 rbi. Might be getting there.

Bonemer HR. Braden 2-2, 2 HR. At this rate he is gonna beat Colson to Charlotte.

Colson 1-2. Drove in a run with a single to the opposite field. That’s a good sign.

Colson 0-3 in ACL with a walk. Gil with another HR. 2 in 2 games.

Luis Robert trade thread: La Pantera stays.
I like it when they win some games. I get the need/desire to trade Robert, but having zero good players on the whole team will make me sad. When Robert is using his tools, he's the best all-around player on the field every night. It's a nice break from Palacios and Palacios-equivalents that comprise 90% of the rest of the team.

5/4 Games
Most of those hits were not well struck at all. If he can get to about 66% strikes, he's going to be a handful.

HR Jacob Gonzalez. Hagen Smith 3IP 1H 0R 2bb 4K, so far. Walks are still a little high, but AA hitters are struggling to hit him.

W-S lost 9-8. 1 strike from victory then a HR and 2 out rally. Zavala drive home lead run. He was also 3-4, triple short of the cycle. Looks like something may have clicked with him.

5/4 Games
W-S has fought all the way back. Zavala HR, 2b, Perez HR, Montgomery 1-2, 2bb, 2b, K. Antonacci 2-3, bb. 7-7 now.
- Rojas, Freeman, Gilbert up, Ellard injured, Murfee down, Dalbec out

White Sox to get Montgomery back to Charlotte (late) next week, still eyeing majors (Janish)
Colson's issue this year is he is swinging out of the zone way too much. His O-zone swing rate has exploded for some reason, but he's taking more pitches in the zone. Might be cheating for the fastball too much. You don't get a 42% K rate cuz you're swinging at strikes.

5/3 Games
Yeah. I have no idea what Kiley is thinking putting Pallette at 10. I’d have him 25-30 after graduations, in danger of getting bumped after the draft. Probably a major leaguer, but not huge impact imo

5/3 Games
Gil 2-3, HR, 3b, bb. I think we may see him at Kanny after Miller-Green gets promoted.
