They had the 4th worst record so dropping a spot isn't a big deal. In the end it won't matter much anyway. Here's who MLB.com has ranked as the #5 selection just FYI: 5. Jac Caglianone, 1B/LHP, Florida Mayo: “Two-way player at Florida. He’s really interesting even if we are not sure what he is. Most people like him as a hitter. There are holes on each side. He has a ton of power, but tends to chase a little. Big, huge lefty. On the mound, he’s up in the upper 90s and misses a lot of bats. But, some command issues. We’ll see what he is. 6-foot-5, 290-pounds. He’s a lot of fun. I think it’s great for college baseball to have a legitimate two-way guy at that level, at the very least.” Yep...another first baseman LOL 😆 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scouts know the players better than Jeremy Haber's computer does. Get the hell out of their way and let them do their job. The results will show. Isn't this pretty much the opposite of what most teams do? Aren't most teams going to more analytics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like the White Sox should have the opposite of the Moneyball/Jonah Hill/Paul DePodesta character in Jeremy Haber...not that there's any demand at all for such a movie. Always though Fabian and Gellinger were at least solid. Edited December 6, 2023 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know of any Sox fan openly hoping for his death, if for no other reason because every one of us is going to wind up in that position someday. However I do think all Sox fans will feel grateful that now a new situation/ownership is going to come into play and that it may work much better than before. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
