Oh, I could sense the sarcasm. Was just kind of continuing your thought. I Should have made that more clear.

His opt-out date is June 1st

Law gets bad info because people in the industry generally don’t like him. Was told this by a Blue Jays crosschecker. I take him with a grain of salt.

Yeah, great for his development to not play.

Yeah, he’s doing well so far.

Thanks for checking on this. Elmore was replaced late in a 1-0 game, so could have been a defensive replacement move. I don’t think Elmore plays much LF.

Are you for real? He should be in the minors unless he’s immediately an ace. Think before you type

Yeah, maybe I’m not giving players enough credit. A lot of the time though they just give perameters and the agent finds the team. But I know players too. That was my job. They’re often stupid competitive. They want to be the most, be the best, or make the most. It drives them. Free agency is already a fragile system for a team like ours. Not much room for error. I just hope they get it right.

The primary downside to being so awful thus far, in my opinion, is who the hell would sign here?

Rondon fighting off that 0-2 fastball and then keeping his hands back to pull that double was impressive.

Jimenez might be the same, unfortunately.

Moran looks too LaRochey for my liking.

He did even better! .368/.443/.676 The guy does nothing but rake.

Was thinking the same thing.

Doesn’t really reflect highly on the White Sox development staff.

His power is plus, as is the defense. The main question is his hit tool, which is a big one of course and why I wouldn’t be crazy about taking him 4th.

The most important things a manager does are the things we don’t see.

He really was. He seemed to keep Hawk in a comfort zone where he wasn’t trying to prove how much he knows. And Wimpy is just one of those guys that you can’t help but like. Really good chemistry.

Gameday is saying Fry is throwing 90mph changeup and an 89mph 4-seam fastball. Interesting arsenal he has going on. Really bucking the trends.

Player comps are fun, but I wouldn’t take them too seriously. And I think they can be unfair for a player as well.

I believe Bohm’s main question is his ability to stay at 3B whereas India’s is his lack of track record/legitimacy of power/blah results with wood bats.

Rightfully so

Christ that was a meatball

Yeah, I like Omar but he’s been terrible.

Thanks for this. It’ll be interesting to see what happens if/when he gets pushed to AA.
