9 hours ago9 hr Sox could get a discount I'm sure on Emerson or Roch now given Lackey is a legit 1/1 option

Hell, I'd pick Lackey at this point over Cholowsky too.Lackey: .413/.530/.793, 19HR, 77RBI, 175 WRC+, .380ISORoch: .323/.453/.650, 21HR, 60RBI, 149 WRC+, .327ISOLackey's 2026 is better than Roch's 2025 and 2026 based on what I'm looking at
9 hours ago9 hr I get Roch has been really good his entire amateur career, but has this whole "consensus #1" just been group think/guys being afraid to step outside the echo chamber?
9 hours ago9 hr Would be first #1 seed to go 0-2 in regionals...Wes Clements calling it greatest upset in NCAA regional history if it actually happens.

I don’t know how you can watch him and not see he’s going to get eaten up by inside fastballs at the big league level

There's a lot of industry buzz that Grady Emerson is preferred by some key White Sox evaluatorshttps://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/48899402/2026-mlb-mock-draft-20-kiley-mcdaniel-predicts-picks-white-sox-rays-twins-giants-pirates

Down 4-3.Hope the sox draft ethan norby, LHP in about the 5th round. We passed on gavin williams and trey yesavage the last few years. ECU puts out pros. 7 active mlb players now including alec burleson, Jeff hoffman. Norby is short but his movement is ridiculous. He's a pitcher and a warrior
9 hours ago9 hr oh and something you don't hear about Lackey is he's a little younger than Roch by 3mo5-4 VT, Levu solo shot
9 hours ago9 hr 3 minutes ago, caulfield12 said:Gasparino vs. fastballs coming up here.you would've thought 2 months ago that Gasparino was gonna hit more homers than Roch, he was crushing everything for a bit there
8 hours ago8 hr I don't get the emerson pick at all really either. Not sure how the guy has shown anything this year that could warrant the bump given his level of competition and small school/conference.
