Seems way too soon for this, but at least it will be something exciting to watch

Moncada will play 3rd rest of the season, they aren't going to play him "all around" like some people were ridiculously suggesting months ago.

Makes sense. DFA Mendick for Senzel is an actual positive move. If they sent Sosa down for Moncada, I understand that one.

Don't understand optioning Sosa at all. .277 / .306 / .710 in July and was even passable in June as well.

Yeah I was about to say the same thing. I look at best player available as what their outcome will be in the future.

I see how that’s worded weird, I meant Schriffen is the sound effect guy not Benetti.

Come on, he's the same guy as Benetti just without the cringey sound effects. Ill never understand the Benetti love affair, he had no clue what was going on either.

I mean, these are all 25/26 year old filler players who most likely will never see the majors. The way you used them in your post was just odd to me. Tim Elko having a decent minor league career and never making it to the show doesn't mean he wasn't a punt pick. I get that these type of picks happen every year, but like I said you worded it as if they were punts who are now future pieces.

What is this supposed to mean? That those "punted" players are actually good?

I show his K rate as 21.9% with a walk rate of 18.5%, where did you pull those numbers from? His BABIP is pretty low too, I’m sure part of the low avg obviously.

What if nothing is coming and Getz just instructed them to take scrappy underdogs to fill out his organizational vision

Just because its baseball, it's incredibly difficult to be as bad as this team has been. Eventually, they'll win a few they really shouldn't have. It seems like we have had been on the wrong side of the majority of those situations so far. My guess is they win 20 and finish 47 - 115

Even with how bad this team has been and is, I find it hard to imagine they only win 12 games the rest of the season.

I know it doesn't mean a whole lot, but according to MLB.com every player they have drafted was either right at rank (Smith) or well before they were ranked.

Well it’s that plus the exposure of college football and basketball the casual person knows what’s going on generally.

They need to stop trying to make the MLB draft a thing. No one knows who any of these players are.

They didn’t spend a premium pick on a 1B so I’m good.

There is nothing, NOTHING, more disappointing than Jimenez becoming a colossal bust. I thought that guy was a for sure .300 30+ homer guy.

My guess is Moncada comes back, isn’t moved, and plays 3B the rest of the year barring another injury.

Its ridiculous. What you deem as an overpay may not be what someone else does. This is a good way to get some team to not even engage in talks when its possible they would have an offer they think is fair but you would think is a win or overpay.

All it takes is for one team to see a talented player that can throw 100 MPH with control beyond this season. Guess we will find out soon.

I also want to add putting it out there that you are only going to trade these guys if you "win" or someone "overpays" is dumb. That's a nice way to drive off interest.

If Lance Lynn and Joe Kelly can return two young controllable MLB ready arms then Michael Kopech with an extra year of control should bring back something useful as well. A big help here is competition between other teams trying to get him, and much like last year you know teams are thinking if they can get the talented player they can adjust what the White Sox couldn't.

If you erase the 3-22 start this team is still 24-46 They are, without a doubt, the worst team in baseball this season.

I would bet that the return for Kopech is going to be much better than people think.
