Was hoping for Frank, PK, Thome, etc. Yermin for fun.

Also - this is draft day and they are doing a pre-game draft watch party at the park.

Half of those guys couldn't hit homers in their prime, let alone when they are old

Exactly. Is this some sort of joke? Are the White Sox trolling us? It’s June 1st, not April 1st.

Daniel Palka was fun, I wonder what he is up to?

Eh, it’s not like you have a good bunch of former players just standing by to do this sort of thing. You need players recently out of the game, on good terms with your org, who are available at that time to participate. I could see a lot of the 05 guys being too busy to do this or not interested lol

Honestly I want to see the Steroid round go down with Alexei and Jose

And this is probably the subgroup their insurance policy gave the go ahead for coverage.

Canseco is a good get. Should be fun.

This part. The Sox need to make up with Frank. I would imagine Frank could still hit a few bombs.

The line up sucks.

Please have Canseco walk out to this.

Cool.

It'd be cool to see Bo Jackson there.

Yeah it seems like Palka would be the favorite to win right?

It’s kind of cool that there is a game, then this home run derby, and the draft all in order. They draft Roch and that place is gonna be going crazy

This line up tells you how bad their relationship is with Frank. Also, I don’t think it’s great with post-managing Robin either.

I think no matter who they draft you are going to see the Hatfields and McCoy's develop for the next few years. If nothing else, we will learn a lot about the progress of this organization to see how they handle this draft and subsequent development of these guys.

Should invite The Panther...Sosa.

I mean, if Canseco's going to be there.

Ozzie lol

Can Getz actually hit one out?

No Thome is a bit strange.

Delmonico would be perfect...Engel/Lillibridge.

Avi and Abreu might also be strained relationships

Frank and Robin are both pushing 60. Can they still swing a bat with authority?

Man I disagree, if they draft that prep catcher I think we might see a riot lol

Probably with Landon since it's draft day.

Thomes kid is being drafted isn’t he, probably at home for that

Palka's 34 and was playing as recently as 2 years ago. Leury's 35, Gordo's 39, Alexei's 44 and Canseco's 61. Scotty Pods is 50.

Jose Canseco started before both of them IIRC.

He's nuts, and probably still on PEDs. Frank was pretty rickety towards the end, iirc. Altho, he was a league average bat at 40.
