I'm not averse to seeing what Rutherford or Sheets could do. It's not like the bar is set extremely high right now. And I'm more so speaking for an Eaton replacement if he actually needs to get healthy.

I'm of the same opinion. I would think the whole Yermin success story would make the front office a little less reluctant in giving another guy a shot. What's really to lose at this point? Hell, let Eaton heal up on the IL if he truly needs it.

Fuck,

Yech. Eaton is rough.

Ah yes, the old Madrigal special. Must be infuriating to play against him sometimes.

He's quickly become one of my favorite players. The ability to play a competent corner spot is huge for him.

That Yermin speed.

Cishek.

Sounds like Hahn will be taking questions/addressing the media today. Perhaps we get a Robert/Eloy update?

Also a Burger question in KGs chat today. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/kevin-goldstein-fangraphs-chat-5-24-2021/

Burger made the BA hot sheet today. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/hot-sheet-baseballs-20-hottest-prospects-from-the-past-week-52421/

KG on Petty today btw.

Here's the picks through 22.

BA Mock 4.0. https://www.baseballamerica.com/rankings/mlb-mock-draft/ I wouldn't be in love with this pick. Flamethrowing high school righty archetype, I don't think I would like Stovall either based off what I've read on his lack of a defensive acumen/position. I guess with Peyton you are banking on that hit and power tool carrying everything else. Also worth noting, Fabian goes 26th to the Twins,

Great job Billy.

Corpse ball.

BA's scouting reports on the aforementioned players.

James has a mock up with picks for the White Sox in the first 3 rounds. I know little to nothing about the first selection. Time to do some research. Would be curious on Harold's take on Montgomery. https://www.futuresox.com/2021/05/23/2021-mlb-mock-draft-3/

Kelley 96 to 99 this game according to the broadcast.

The defense behind Kelley has been wretched this inning. Both Delgado and J.Rod botching run of the mill ground balls.

What was that positioning and route? Eek.
