This isn't a good time to ask if we're better than anything as a nation. The answer is almost invariably no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 It’s really going to suck when Rutschman gets scooped right before us. He’d be the perfect finishing touch for this rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we finish this tank job off the right way and have a top pick, but we will be selecting high regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticky Stuff Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Seeing how Carter Stewart didn’t sign with the Braves, and plans on going to a JUCO in Florida, he’ll be eligible for 2019 draft. If Rutschman goes before us, Stewart is someone I think should be high on our list. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only wanted to offer him the 40% of slot required to get the pick next year, so that sounds pretty bad. On the other hand, the Braves new GM was pretty notorious for finding things not to like in medicals with draftees when he was the GM of the Blue Jays, or so one of the FanGraphs guys said a while back.

Baker Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Langeliers generally considered a Top 5 pick next year. http://www.big12sports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=10410&ATCLID=211719133 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could happen and that would suck, but keep in mind that at this time last year everybody was talking about Nolan Gorman, Brice Turang, and Seth Beer as potential 1-1 candidates and those three went 19, 21, and 28. A year is a long time and a ton can change before we need to worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that a lot happens, but also by this point in the year Turang was falling, everyone knew Beer wasn't going 1-1 and Gorman was struggling against off speed stuff versus Japan (and he was never really in talks to go 1-1 anyway). On top of that, those are two high school players that tend to fall throughout the process and one college guy at the least premium position while Rutschman is a college player at a premium position, and those guys tend to climb as the draft gets closer. All of that said, he still needs to perform at the same level next year during his college season. His performance thus far probably assure that he is a first round pick even with a bad year, but the guys that go at the absolute top of the draft usually have good summers and a good season.

DirtySox Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Adley is the only 55 FV at this way too early juncture. Still fun to start familiarizing with player names though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just hoping somehow Adley gets pushed back to the three spot where we likely will pick. Somehow I doubt it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox need a Tigers style year end tank. The pen needs to be just atrocious and they need to trade Abreu and Garcia for a crapton of lottery tickets.

I'd rather see them go .500 and see progress from guys like Giolito, Moncada, Anderson, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, with as much struggle as we have seen, it would be nice to see some of that start to payoff in the 2nd half. Breakouts from main guys would be wonderful. We also still may see guys like Eloy and Kopech in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem knowledgeable from the posts I have read so I want to try and understand. It seems I always have to argue and it gets old. It started with the Carlos lee trade. I know now that’s just how it is. So what breakouts from main guys are you looking for. Besides Moncada, Lopez and Gio, who do you think is going to be a main guy. I don’t see anybody else. They are all in the minors or future free agents. This is where I am confused. The rest of the team doesn’t matter at this point. Wishing for wins at this point does what? You added an etc after the names you listed. Who else do you want to see do good. I know people hope for everybody to improve but it just doesn’t happen. We’ve seen what these players are and hoping they turn out good is just wishful thinking. Our future lies in the minors. Help me understand why everyone thinks, 18 months after basically gutting the team, that we should be winning at this point. As a fan, it is very frustrating. As I’ve said before, I want to win. After seeing what we got in the trades and drafts since, I feel really good about where we’re heading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After seeing what we got in the trades and drafts since, I feel really good about where we’re heading. It isn't about "winning" per se. It is about Yoan Moncada, Lucas Giolito, Reynaldo Lopez and Tim Anderson showing some sustained signs of stardom, or at least big leaps forward in looking like cornerstones of a title team. If those 4 take meaningful steps forward, so will the teams record. It is also about wanting to see Jose Abreu get healthy and start hitting again. It is about James Shields pitching well enough to become a trade piece. It is about Nate Jones and Avi Garcia being healthy and playing well enough to give themselves value on the trade market. It is about the secondary group of guys having some guys step forward and join guys like Yolmer Sanchez and Leury Garcia as guys who could be on our next title team. It is that we might see Kopech and Jimenez, along with a couple of other pieces in September, and we want them to succeed. The more of those things that start to happen, the better of the health of the rebuild is. If this team utterly collapses in the second half, it means the vast majority of those guys have not grown, or worse they have created more questions than answers. If you are getting good performances from key players, teams tend to win. The good play will lead to wins. That is what I want to see. If that means a worse pick, so be it. The Sox do not benefit by guys like Giolito and Moncada continuing to struggle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(next year hopefully) As ss has said, its better for those guys to do well and maybe end up with pick 4/5 rather than everyone struggling and possibly still not ending up with #1. Obviously everyone wants Rutschman now but theres no guarantee he'll even be #1 come June next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
