@StonecoldSxnick Hang in there and feel better soon!

[Northbrook Bob @nbb77]

@chorizy I think he would end up on the injured list just trying to get here!

[Northbrook Bob @nbb77]

@paulderdash1 At some point he’s going to need to get better in the defensive front. You really need to draft the pass rusher. Trading for one really really depletes your resources.

[Northbrook Bob @nbb77]

Must say I fully expected a center and a safety in this draft class… but not an early WR and certainly not a TE. The only thing more confusing would be if he drafts a QB with his next pick! I think Dennis Allen is going to quit tomorrow. 😬

[Northbrook Bob @nbb77]

@SoxMach_pnoles @paulderdash1 @Jake_Lonergan9 I think he’ll get time at both positions. If your plan is to draft Cholowsky at 1, it’s probably a good idea to look at Montgomery at third base too. Granted there is a risk of “messing with his head” but given how Montgomery dealt with last years issues, I think it’s a low risk

[Northbrook Bob @nbb77]

@SoxMach_pnoles @paulderdash1 @Jake_Lonergan9 Given their draft position and their views on Roch… playing Montgomery more at third base might actually be the better long term decision. Give him time there now because there is a decent chance he might be playing there this time next year. This is the better year to learn.

The news has finally broken. He was such a great Rule 5 addition last year, you hate to see it happen to these guys. One of these days I would just like to have surprise good news for WST!

[Northbrook Bob @nbb77]

I hate to be Naysayer Northbrook…

But I’m guessing the news on Vasil will not be good.

@keepitsimpl9 @Noahp245 My guess of bad news… has not changed. I’m sorry.

[Northbrook Bob @nbb77]

@Noahp245 @DigglersSports Unfortunately this is a wise choice.

[Northbrook Bob @nbb77]

@barstoolWSD You don’t want any juju from me right now. I’m on my 4th flight being delayed and stuck out on a tarmac in Columbus from
Phoenix. With my luck if I sent you any juju the entire condo building would burn down!

Hoping you get it!

[Northbrook Bob @nbb77]

@Noahp245 I’m sorry. Please don’t shoot the messenger.

@StonecoldSxnick I think O’hare hates me more the Aaron Bummer.

[Northbrook Bob @nbb77]

@StonecoldSxnick Now can you fix that little O’hare issue for me? Being rerouted to Columbus now!

[Northbrook Bob @nbb77]

Sigh… on sky harbor cancellation number two. Vasil better not be hurt too bad or this spring training visit will really be a downer.

[Northbrook Bob @nbb77]

@dailywhitesox @FutureSox I feel his pain!! Flight back from Sky Harbor cancelled. Let the travel nightmares begin.

[Northbrook Bob @nbb77]

@johnnapil @SoxOn35th He’s only played 49 games in AA so far. There is no reason to rush him to the majors. Let’s start him in AA and see how it goes. We have plenty of options at the major league level to play and develop already.

[Northbrook Bob @nbb77]

@StonecoldSxnick There were some very lean years in the 70’s and early 80’s! I remember the Chicago Sting championship was a pretty big deal because Chicago was so starved for any kind of winner.
