June 27, 20241 yr 5 hours ago, Timmy U said: Sox will get slot value for the 10th pick but then slot value for the 1st pick in subsequent rounds. Well that’s cool… I thought we would get the 10th pick in each round. At least there’s some benefit to being the best at being the worst, even with these horrible competitive balance rules.

Left handed, very good hit and plate discipline, can play second base and has some legit pop (albeit nowhere near as much as Cags), and should contribute soon too. The only thing is our staff can't seem to do anything about Moncadas hamstrings so how could we expect them to keep Whetherholts hamstrings healthy?

Yeah but the training staff is supposed to put together a maintenance plan specific to each person so stuff like this doesn't become chronic. That they have different body types doesn't excuse the training staff from failure.

June 27, 20241 yr FWIW, Carlos Collazo was on the FutureSox Pod with James and Ian and they talked about Cags, he didn't seem to bullish on the idea of shifting him to the outfield.

June 27, 20241 yr If Cags is 1b only, I would go Griffin. That said, a lefty hitting Pete Alonso would be a valuable player.

June 27, 20241 yr The Padres have SEVEN original/natural SS's in Profar, Merrill, Tatis, Machado, Kim, Bogaerts and Cronenworth.. The White Sox have only Robert with "up the middle capability," caveator emptor being he's not anywhere close to 100%. Moncada, ONCE UPON A TIME, was considered a generational talent. Ofc, the real problem is that you need to combine Baldwin, Jac.Gonzalez, Ramos and Montgomery into ONE PLAYER instead of 3-4 with various flaws/weaknesses.

June 27, 20241 yr There have been a lot of college 2B overdrafted recently and none have come close to justifing their draft position. Will Bazzana and Wetherholt buck that trend. I have serious doubts.

June 28, 20241 yr I’m not sure i wouldn’t want the White Sox to make as many trades possible before the MLB draft, if they are able to load up on positional players, then maybe they pick the Arkansas pitcher with their first pick. Between him and Schultz, that would be one hell of a one two punch.

June 28, 20241 yr Sox sat on him at the regional. I doubt they’d be in on him if they feel he’s 2B only. I think Griffin is the current favorite.
