July 16, 20241 yr Nice thorough draft report concentrating on Day 2 and an overview of who has been taken so far: https://soxmachine.com/2024/07/white-sox-2024-mlb-draft-day-2-recap/

It’s better than hearing Zack Collins would have been the pick if they had the first pick in the draft. It’s better now because we hope it won’t end up the same way. In five years we may not be saying the same thing lol

If he's dominating the minors, try to extend him to a team friendly deal for like 8+ yrs, at least you've got him for a couple more years I've got bad news for those people who think the Sox are gonna be good in 2 years One thing about 95 percent of this board. They are patient when it comes to their team. Two years, five. years, eight years, whatever. We'll hold those prospects down and wait, wait, wait. I wish this was like NBA where 19 year olds make the team and play right away.

One reason the fundamentals are so bad with this organization at least, is because guys are being brought up who have no idea how to play the game, do the little things. I'm not saying go back to the days of Gary Peters and Joe Horlen who basically spent five years in the minors learning their craft but there's absolutely no need to rush guys up, destroy their confidence and see them fall flat on their faces.

Going to guess maybe we get one high end pitching prospect but in all cases guessing best prospect will be a position player. Add in Kopech and Dejomh/Pham - not saying they get a ton for those guys - but get prospects and also find way to get international money and draft picks too. Leave no stone unturned at the trade deadline.

They have had multiple high level prospects that they did the exact opposite with, they did not hold them down but rather promoted them extra fast. That scenario simply does not happen with this organization multiple high level prospects ON THIS CURRENT TEAM.

July 17, 20241 yr Hagen seems like a total stud. I feel kinda bad for him that the World's worst baseball team drafted him Let's hope we don't ruin him

Heaven forbid he get called up early and help us win games. I'd say most of this board only cares about tanking and rebuilding and don't care how long it takes. On the contrary i want to win yesterday. I care not about prospects. Give me wins.
