Maybe that's what you get for $15M these days. It's not the first WFT contract in baseball.

Some seem to forget how to do that once they put on that uniform.

Players are far more brittle than they use to be. The ability to stay on the field or never miss a start is now a high value. Then there are guys like Judge and Trout who will still get higher contracts despite never playing a full season. Look at the Gio contract, Did he ever really miss a start? As for the pitch clock the aging pitchers were having trouble. I doubt any of those legendary pitchers would have an issue with a pitch clock. It works both ways. He hitter isn't allowed to take their sweet time.

I never understood why people think you can run a MLB organization like the NFL or NBA. Drafts are a much higher risk in MLB since you have more choices. The level of talent in the NCAA isn't as big as a divide from the NFL or NBA.

Just another example of how bad the modern media is.

This is an example of why teams are reluctant to trade their decent pitching prospects. Below mediocrity has a high price in baseball.

It's the least glamorous position in baseball.

Seems like another member for the Sox IL roster

Maybe they do it just for Cease and no Eloy.

I'm trying to figure out the point of this decision. I guess it's roster filler so thy don't have to use Charlotte as the roster filler. It screams White Sox.

I'm jealous of their organization. They might be one of the few Chicago teams that is trying to do something right. They don't have an owner that is so out of touch with baseball reality.

Despite the ability to stay on the field.

I liked him netter when he was with the Royals. I didn't even know who he was.

I don't think baseball in general is getting new fans.

You don't need much defense when the ball goes over the fence.

Somehow we think there are naive GMs, scouts, not on the White Sox would see some potential. All organizatins deal with injuries and I doubt any of them have a faith healer for Eloy.

How well Bummer does may reflect the performance of Katz. How soon will it be though we hear how great he is doing like we heard after a couple of Lynn starts and the Sox version of Lynn appeared in the playoffs. Sure Bummer might be great for an inning with a decent lead but we'll see what happens in a high leverage situation.

They do nothing for a ML season. Sometimes those rankings are based on quantity and not quality. You can have a top ranked farm system nd most guys are in low A. A lot can happen where that means nothing. We are in the age of fragile players. This stuff always sounds good on paper. Getting another team's prospects looks good but their coaches don't come along with them.

The biggest myth in baseball.

Not possible. Rays have a superior system and not trying to be the new Royals.

It;s just a different kind of s%*# and forgetting that s%*# still stinks. I guess this is a stop gap not to drain Charlotte's future DFA roster

That explains it. He went KETO.

Sorry, the only thing cheap is the roster.

Those guys did a charity basketball game across the street from my house. Billy Williams signed my glove and I used it because it was my only glove. Back in the day you thought it was cool yo have a player sign something. Today it is different, A parent would throw that in a vault and try to sell it later on. I understand why some celebrities refuse to do autographs.

Most likely it would be a fail to begin with since scouting and development are terrible. This is were media and fans haven't figured out where trade can be a bad word. Somehow we don't think other GMs realize that other organizations are bad in this area and fleece the other team. Haul is the biggest myth in baseball, much like a stocked farm system. Fans think this is a reality but ignore the ability to draft and develop. Few teams actually get this right. The Sox are not even close to right.
