I actually don't think that. I'm just making fun of Caulfield's depressing observations.

I think the Sox are bottom five farm system after reading that.

Miller’s bat is legit. He would have been a Top 10 prospect in last year's draft if he didn’t break his hamate bone.

Miller would have to be in the deal for Roberts. If not I’m looking somewhere else. Painter as the headliner is way too risky.

Burns vs Yesavage on right now ESPN 2

Want players that can play up the middle. Hard pass on Cags! Knowing Getz puts a huge value on defense I don't see him drafting another 1B type in the Top 5. Would by ecstatic with either Griffin or Rainer.

The college ball seems so juiced up this year.

Law has a big write up on some HS/College players : Lindsey, Honeycutt, Yesavage, Rainer, Curiel, Sirota etc. My school is blocking my athletic so I can't share. Lindsey, Rainer, Yesavage Stock up Honeycutt, Siorta-Down Curiel-Thinks he should stay in school and let the body develop can possibly be a top draft pick down the road if stays with the commitment to LSU.

Eno mentioned he had a trusted scout that backed up his velocity readings.

Listened to Eno Saris Podcast. Mentioned how Thorpe has been having trouble getting to 90mph on his fastball. Definitely worrisome!

Bob Nightengale @BNightengale Now that the Chicago White Sox traded Dylan Cease and Michael Kopech is being moved to the bullpen, they are internally discussing the possibility of bringing back free-agent starter Mike Clevinger. Clevinger was their most consistent starter last year: 9-9 with a 3.77 ERA. 11:25 AM · Mar 14, 2024 · 189.8K Views

Nightengale just mentioned Sox in talks with Clevinger.

I gave the trade a C+. This puts some pressure on the new development team to finish the progress on Zavala and Iriarte. That is the biggest concern I have with the trade. I'm willing and crossing my fingers Bannister, Barfield, and Janish are putting things in place that made them successful in previous stops.

Thorpe is scariest part of the deal. If he loses any more on the fastball velocity he will not make it as a starter. I’m fine with the other two pieces, but Thorpe as the headliner makes me pause.

Wish Merrill would be involved, but they just announced he’s making the final roster. So he’s out.

Keith Law has his list out. Interesting rankings. Konner Griffin is #19. Disagree with that one.

Has anyone had their eyes yet on Jacob Gonzalez this Spring? I know Fangraphs mentioned how he worked on getting in better shape and possibly being opened to changes to his swing.

That’s a heavy fastball!!!

https://soxmachine.com/2024/02/podcast-how-the-white-sox-farm-system-is-improving-with-keith-law/ Great listen! Not surprising, how much Williams was involved in the draft room and going the conservative route. Looks like a great parting gift from Kenny with drafting Gonzalez. So glad that idiot is gone!

Outstanding news!!!

Wow didn’t realize how tiny Fletcher is.

Love the return on Santos and getting a bigger draft pool is huge!

That’s a huge loss!!! Eno Sarris always spoke highly of him.

For 1 year of Burnes I think it’s a fair deal. Obviously Elias was trying to pawn off the same two players and I’m glad Getz said hell no to that return with the headliner of Ortiz.

Looks like Houston Astros are starting to take over the Cuban pipeline.
