White Sox Bob

South Sider keeping up with all things baseball

@DillonCaraballo @Sean_W_Anderson I think people forget that this happens almost every year including last year. Going into the Draft Willits was ranked 5, 2024 Bazzana was 1 but was cheaper than the guys at 2 and 3. It’s super common for things to move In The days before. 2023 was similar to this year imo

[White Sox Bob @ChiSox96]

@sportsin_cle The “bad team becoming good” part makes sense but I think the average white Sox fan slowed down on talking about them when they were bad, they didn’t ever stop being fans though. IU didn’t have fans at all 5 years ago

[White Sox Bob @ChiSox96]

@Sean_W_Anderson They should have so much money to spend that 2 and 3 should be highly ranked Prep players. No reason to pass on ceiling in early rounds because they can afford everyone

[White Sox Bob @ChiSox96]

@KenWo4LiFe Agreed, I trust the front office and will be happy with any of Lackey, Emerson, or Roch. Anyone else and I’ll probably have some questions

[White Sox Bob @ChiSox96]

@KenWo4LiFe Id happily take any of those trades, the other teams would fire their GM though

[White Sox Bob @ChiSox96]

@dailywhitesox It’s a frustrating pattern already to say the least. Hopefully there’s some future payoff from it but it just feels so short sited

[White Sox Bob @ChiSox96]

@MolloyOnBase I think you have to explore moving Beni for anything. He’s playing well right now and if a team is looking for a left handed bat he may be attractive enough to take on.

[White Sox Bob @ChiSox96]

@JRRey0124 Agreed completely, has a chance to be a Sox all time great if they lock him down

[White Sox Bob @ChiSox96]

Two things can be true:
-
1. Colson Montgomery is a great player with superstar upside
2. He strikes out way too much

[White Sox Bob @ChiSox96]

@JamesFox917 I hope cubs management thinks about Happ the same that the media does cause I’d love to get him for a prospect outside the top 30

[White Sox Bob @ChiSox96]

@timtawa15 @WhiSoxNationCHI I agree, Colson is the better player by far at this point. Doesn’t mean Carlson is not a major leaguer.

[White Sox Bob @ChiSox96]

@timtawa15 @WhiSoxNationCHI If Billy Carlson has a league average bat he’s a 4 WAR player, I think people forget how elite his glove is. It’s Simmons esque.

[White Sox Bob @ChiSox96]

@jayhaykid I don’t mind the “game got smarter on paper but dumber between the lines” comment. Fundamentals feel like they are at an all time low. Other than that it’s a horrible quote

[White Sox Bob @ChiSox96]

@Pete_up27 He’s actively a top 5 SS in baseball. I think that qualifies you as great but everyone is entitled to their own opinion

[White Sox Bob @ChiSox96]

Ump is having such a rough day today calling balls and strikes. Keeping challenges is gonna be very important

[White Sox Bob @ChiSox96]

@isureppin12 Lee will never catch another MLB game for the White Sox. He’s the 3rd best catcher in Triple A now and not on the 40 man. If they option Romo it’s Quero, if they DFA him it’s very likely Turner

[White Sox Bob @ChiSox96]

@_sox4221 @BezBeyondThePen Lacombe will as a reliever at some point but won’t start imo. Larson is a guy that teams might bet on his upside.

[White Sox Bob @ChiSox96]

@JamesFox917 I agree, that’s why we should always take as many of these high school upside guys in 2-10 rounds as possible, they have so much value from their potential even if they don’t have a hot start the rebuild value so fast.

[White Sox Bob @ChiSox96]

@AdrianWhiteSox Take Carlson out and I’d do it. I honestly think Adam’s will be starting in Chicago before the deadline too so I’d be surprised if he’s moved
