The draft rules are backfiring when it comes to the Sox. Their incentive now is to tank twice as long because there’s no hope they are going to build quickly. Most of their viable offensive talent is in A ball, and this year’s draft is HS heavy. They won’t have any incentive to spend until like 2028.

Summerhill at 1-10 would be a ridiculous reach. College bats are down in this year’s draft. Strength is HS shortstops. That’s a demo that is traditionally pretty safe, too. I say they need to stay disciplined and draft best hitter available. Chances are that it’ll be a HS guy. Working out so far with Bonemer. One or two more guys like that added at 1-10 and 2-1 would go a long way.

I heard hints that his injury may be serious. Wishing him the best.

I think it’s worth trying. Burke not a great match up against that line up.

Interesting start by Schultz, 3bb 3 singles, 3 GIDP. The three singles averaged like 50 mph. Angels AA not good, but it looked like a side session for him. Like he has mostly been working on stuff.

2nd HR for Elko. Grand Slam for Gelanie. 5-5 with 10 TB

Antonacci 1-2 with 3 HBP. Kinda unique line.

Gelanie 4-4. I got to imagine he’s gonna be in Birmingham before long. Another R-R 1b, so a lot of pressure on the bat, but he can hit.

Don’t know if he’s done yet, but heck of a start for Oppor so far 5IP 2H 1R 1ER 1bb 8K. Lost some velocity on the fastball but then relied a lot on his slider. Overmatched A ball hitters.

Hard single on 0-2 for Bonemer 3 rbi so far for him. He’s probably a Top 100 guy pretty soon.

They are also super aggressive on balls in the dirt. They look like a Rays affiliate more than the Sox. Would be a pain to play against.

Triple for Bonemer. Fun player to keep an eye on.

2K’s for Oppor in the 1st. If he gets to 50 command, he’s really gonna be something. The stuff is absolute filth.

At this point, it's the umps call. They usually like to wait a good while so everyone thinks they've been fair.

Full Slate of games. Kanny with a doubleheader. https://www.milb.com/scores/all/all/whitesox

With the way the pitchers were used and who’s playing where, this has the feel of a spring training game. Counts about as much as one.

There goes my dream of turning Booser into a failed Dodger prospect who is out of options.

91 off the bat. That place is a launching pad to right.

Vargas hit one ball hard. The other 2 are singles.

Don’t understand why they didn’t go to a second bulk guy like Shuster.

Clean sweep. Kanny rained out, everyone else loses.

Vaughn plays 1b like he has a shoe deal with cinder blocks.

Vargas hit it hard. Progress, I guess.

8 base runners, got 6 guys out. Another great offseason signing.

Bryse Wilson is not comfortable without the bases loaded.
