March 6, 20233 yr George got bounced from the rotation because he can't find the strike zone (6.2 IP 13 BB) with two hands a map and a flashlight but who cares he throws 99!!!!!
March 12, 20233 yr Holy hell Wyatt Langford was hit by a pitch and has a ruptured nut. Why wasn't he wearing a cup and how do you have surgery on that. They say he's going to miss "several weeks." Yeah no s%*#. God damn.

March 13, 20233 yr If the Sox finally address the catching position Teel is the best option. He's undersized but will at least be avg back there because of his excellent athleticism and he can really hit.

He's undersized but will at least be avg back there because of his excellent athleticism and he can really hit. I am intrigued by his writeup. I love me some athletic catchers. Quote Kyle Teel Virginia C Notes: Ht: 6-1 | Wt: 190 | B-T: L-R Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted Age At Draft: 21.4 One of the most athletic players in the 2020 draft class, Teel was a standout high school prospect who would have ranked among the top 100 players in the class had he not withdrawn from the draft at the time. After reaching campus at Virginia, Teel split time as an outfielder and catcher in his 2021 freshman season before taking over as the everyday catcher in 2022. He’s hit .305/.409/.481 with 15 home runs in two seasons with the Cavaliers, and also served as Team USA’s catcher during the summer. Listed at 6-foot-1, 190 pounds, Teel has solid bat speed from the left side and has shown all-fields power in college, with aggressive swings and plenty of moving parts in his operation. There’s a significant hand hitch in Teel’s load that gives evaluators pause and could create issues with timing and consistently getting on plane, though in general Teel has shown a solid understanding of the strike zone. He’s walked at a 12.6% rate and struck out at a 14.2% rate, and in 2022 walked more frequently than he struck out, and doesn’t expand the zone at a high rate, with solid bat-to-ball skills as well. Teel has a few carrying tools behind the plate between his athleticism and plus arm strength, but he’s been a rough receiver at times and needs to refine the finer details of catching to stick at the position. He’s a great runner for a catcher and solid-average overall in the speed department. Edited March 14, 20233 yr by DirtySox
March 16, 20233 yr BA's first mock. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/2023-mlb-mock-draft-version-10/ Quote 15. White Sox — Noble Meyer, RHP, Jesuit HS, Portland, Ore. (15) Drafter: Carlos Carlos’ Take: It’s always a bit easier taking on the risk of a high school righthander profile when you are not actually taking on the risk. I think Meyer is still the favorite to be the first prep pitcher off the board at this point, and this feels like the range that could happen in this year’s class, given the strength of the college ranks. The White Sox have also attacked the prep ranks more at the top of the draft in recent years after grabbing Colson Montgomery and Noah Schultz in the last two drafts. Scout's Take: This is the exact pick Mick Abel went in 2020 (to the Phillies) and Meyer probably fits in a similar range even if his resume isn’t quite as long as Abel’s was. Zooming out on their profiles, they’re similar and not just because they are both Oregon arms. Edited March 16, 20233 yr by DirtySox

March 16, 20233 yr Jacob Gonzalez is a good player but I'm not a big believer in the bat. I don't think his ceiling is very high.
March 17, 20233 yr Wow Peter broke out the thesaurus for that tweet. He didn't simply say his stuff was LOUD! Good job, Son.
March 19, 20233 yr Teel has a chance to hit for some power despite the efforty swing. He has excellent balance and barrel control. There's also good rhythm and timing to his swing. I usually like college catchers in the 3-7 round range but this guy is starting to grow on me.
March 20, 20233 yr I dig a dude with an overhead del but that is efforty as f***. Looks like there's some dec in there but lots of reliever risk with this guy.
March 22, 20233 yr If anyone says Dylan Crews isn't the best hitter in the country they're either clueless or trolling for clicks.

I take it you are Crews over Langford then? BA kinda made it sound like they are 1A and 1B at this point. Though I guess that was pre-testicle destruction. Unsure how that impacts stock. (Words I never thought I would type.)

On BA's podcast last week, they thought Crews > Langford, Skenes > Dollander, but that those were the clear top 4 and that Langford's stock wouldn't be hurt that much.

March 23, 20233 yr Georgey Boy (aka George Gallo) is on a heater. Kid's (and I do mean Kid) has ridiculous power.
March 25, 20233 yr He's really quick out of the shoot w/excellent footwork and accuracy. Have I mentioned he's starting to grow on me.
