From Bob's piece today on trade returns. https://www.audacy.com/670thescore/sports/chicago-white-sox/michael-kopech-drawing-interest-rival-scouts

BA article today with some observations on the 2024 class. There was a section on the lack of up the middle talent. Pulled this out. I was already pretty into Wetherholt, but if the consensus is that he's able to hack it at SS I'm very in. Though @Y2Jimmy0 mentioned the Sox view him as a 2B. Regardless, I'd still much prefer him to a Cags at 5. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/five-things-to-know-about-the-2024-mlb-draft/

I am going to vomit if they take a lesser return to dump Beni. Holy s%*# would that enrage me. And I've largely been ambivalent/fine with Getz so far.

Hahaha.

What an outing!

That'll do. Time for the pen to blow it.

Crochet is a problem. Either extend the man or get a haul please.

Relevant to the conversation.

Yes please.

I did. That's wild. Seattle's announcers saying the Sox are gonna get a haul for him.

Did I just see that Luis's last 5 hits have been home runs?

At least the starting pitching has been fun/interesting to watch. I will keep tuning in for Crochet, Thorpe, and Cannon. Kind of a shame Nastrini has become a mess.

Speaking of Cags, Mayo has him again being selected at 5 in his latest mock. https://x.com/MLBPipeline/status/1801389084990128167

We cookin. Let's get the rook some runs.

Man. Thorpe sure seems like a pitcher.

Interesting. The broken ankle give you pause on Montgomery? Or more the corner OF profile with some bat concerns?

Failure rate? Competition concerns? I was going to post asking everyone's preference between Griffin/Rainer. I lean Rainer.

I absolutely love Miller. Scouts are raving about him this season. Jumped 52 spots to number 21 on the BA update. Phillies could put together a very strong offer with Miller and Painter as headliners.

If you are in talks with the Phillies on Robert it has to start with Aidan Miller, Painter, and Caba right? Abel's stuff backed up big time. I guess Justin Crawford could be in the mix as well.
