You can post snippets, but posting Law's entire breakdown is a no-go since The Athletic is behind a paywall. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5640375/2024/07/18/mlb-draft-2024-american-league-report/

After Steven Wilson, the new rule should be "no acquiring pieces that are older than the guy you're trading."

DELIVERANCE

Rest in peace Danny Mendick, one of the best hitters drafted outside of the first round that Chris Getz developed.

We're first in being worst.

Signings thread

David Eckstein: "I get it!"

The return for Paul DeJong will be Daul JePong

I'm sorry, is the rawr not a cringe sound effect?

Getz dominating the July news cycle as expected.

But what if I want him and the others?

I judge this based off my wife, who passively listens while I judge games. She enjoyed Jason and Steve and all their banter. She likes Stacey King and Adam Amin. She cringes all the fucking time with Schriffen.

Think of it this way: Jason is calling Team USA games right now. Would NBC trust John Schriffen to do that?

Day 3 Draft Thread

The vast majority of teams are better than the White Sox at it. I say this as someone that likes Mike Shirley's approach because he's so very anti-White Sox.

This is three years old, but it's not like the Sox have had their fortunes change for the better in the past 3 years.

This is an amazing politician answer. "We've drafted good position players. They just didn't do well."

Man was destined to be either a superstar closer or that guy that every fanbase falls in love with cause of his name and he bounces around to like 12 teams. C'est la vie.

RIP Taylore Cherry and Storm Throne

Which also @bmags, Zach Franklin ain't doing too bad considering the expectations.

Jack Young is this year's Zach Franklin?

God, I hate the MLB draft almost as much as I hate the NBA cap and I am grateful for you to explain it.

DFA HIM NOW

With Duke Ellis gone, Phil Fox is my new favorite name in the system.
