lets lose 99 games

This could easily happen once the whole Covey. Pelfrey, Shields & Holland tran derails into a flaming pile of scrap metal. Bullpen is showing signs of not being able to carry a heavy load, which no bullpen really can.

Middle relief collapsed for the Astros...and Ken Giles still can be quite shaky from time to time.

 

Hosmer and Moustakas maintain a lot of trade value. Vargas is attractive. Cain's value is down. Bonifacio playing very well, and Soler playing his way out of baseball with his start to this year. Might end up holding onto Herrera, Kennedy and Soria...unless they can get decent offers.

This isn't technically a tie. We are above NYM and PIT. It goes by last year's draft order when there is a tie in standings. We are currently 7th.

 

On a side-note, wow that NL East is dog sh!t.

Picking 4th if the season ended tonight. 4 games behind Philadelphia for the #1 pick, 3.5 behind San Diego for #2. Winning 2 of 3 against San Diego in May could end up having significant ramifications on next years draft.

Certainly possible but I like that there are plenty of NL teams they can beat any series. The Sox' rotationis starting to show its colors so it's hard to imagine winnijg too many series against a pretty competitive AL.

 

PLUS the Sox potentially stand to get much worse after the deadline. Not too familiar with San Diego's roster but what pieces do they have to trade that will impact their competitiveness? Surely no Quintanas, DRobs & Kahnles

 

We also get to call up the AAA guys. Hopefully they shine but the rest of the rotation stays garbage

Myers, but that's far from certain. He will be their lone All-Star representative. Brad Hand, their closer. Solarte as a bench player/5th infielder. Chacin, Richard, Cosart....the same trade possibilities as White Sox veteran starters, which isn't much.

Who with better knowledge can detail the difference in getting the #1 versus getting the #4 pick in the draft. Is there a big drop off from the prospective #1 and #4?

I don't think at this point anyone really knows, but there doesn't seem to be a clear cut ARod or Ken Griffey Jr. yet. If the Sox get a top 5 pick, they will most likely draft someone that a lot of people would rank as #1.

I think he means the cumulative career WAR from each of those draft positions...

Yeah, and there is a huge difference between #1 & #4. Draft position DOES matter. Obviously quality scouting is critical as well, but you can't draft someone who was already selected. See taking Fulmer because Benintendi was off the board.

Still 4th.

 

2 GB of Giants for 3rd.

2.5 GB of Padres for 2nd.

4 GB of Phillies for 1st.

 

By current BaseRuns, the White Sox are 9th worst. That does not account for how badly the team has played over the last 3 weeks, but this team is perfectly on track. Trade Swarzak, Robertson, Holland, Frazier, Cabrera, and possibly Shields and Quintana, and go from there.

You have to imagine that it's a guarantee that the first five and Gonzalez are guaranteed to be traded as they'll all be gone anyway. Then Putnam, Petricka, Jones and Jennings could all be trade options if they return to form.

 

Once the inevitable trades come, this team is going to crate hard.

If we could be 3rd pick bad for about two years I would be really pleased. Hopefully that converts to fielding talent, but who knows

 

Oh for sure. 3rd pick lines up well with Beer, which I'm sure all of us would be pleased.
