as of right now Byron Murphy +100 Rome Odunze +350 Jared Verse +1000 are the 3 with the best odds
-
I haven't given up hope just yet. Last year he started horribly and then in the week or two before he got sent down he was making lots of loud contact that kept finding defenders. Hopefully he starts showing that hard contact again pretty soon.
-
The fact that many think he has maxed out his frame is concerning, but he's supposed to be an explosive freak athlete for the position.

Minor League Discussion & Box, 4-24-24
Tryptamine replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
It's hilarious how quickly things have changed. He goes from having about the most disastrous start possible to all of a sudden being a 21 year in AA, who plays a premium position and is posting a 146 wRC+ which would warrant top 30 prospect consideration if he finished the season with that line. -
Agreed. However, Mervis is also 26 and, while I'd still like to give him another 100 PAs before making a decision, 106 PAs of 32 wRC+ is really bad for a guy who only brings value via his bat. Even if he doesn't start getting hits, he needs to start making better contact for there to be any reasonable hope of him ever being more than a AAAA guy.

2024 NFL Draft Day(s) Thread - Live Thread!
Tryptamine replied to Outshined_One's topic in Other Sports
If they stay at #9, this is my want list with people who have a remotely realistic chance of being there at 9 1) Nabers 2) Alt 3) Odunze 4) Turner 5) Latu 6) Fashanu Basically anyone else I'd be upset they didn't trade back. -
People are really running with Byron Murphy to the Bears at 9 and the first defensive player off the board.
-
Through 24 games the White Sox are now on pace to go 20W 142L and be outscored by 554 runs. Last year the 50 win Oakland As were out scored by 339 runs.
-
He made his decision
-
The fact that they're 15-9 with Steele, Suzuki, Bellinger and Merryweather all currently injured is a minor miracle.
-
Either someone via a trade or someone in the minors is going to have to come and save this pen because it is just not good.
-
Maybe the closers can give up a few less HRs, thanks.
-
Between Taillon and Alzolay, a lot of getting people into 2 strike counts early then nibbling back into deep counts.
-
Dear god Mervis, show something. I'd take hard contact at this point.
-
Lots of really bad at bats after the 1st inning.
-
That was not a good AB
-
I so badly want Mervis to be a thing, but he just doesn't put together good at bats. I'm about done with the experiment.
-
Taillon is hard sucking the last 2 innings.
-
Taillon really not helping himself
-
Implosion commencing
-
Stop nibbling Taillon
-
If Nabers makes it to Bears at 9, we're dancing in the streets.
-
I went to the Foundry in Aurora last year for the draft and it was awful. The place was basically abandoned except for like 15 people who gathered for a trivia night and because of the trivia night they turned off the TV sound after like the 7th pick and we spent the rest of the time staring at silent screens.
-
If the first round didn't literally take 4+ hours that might be possible, but the first round just drags forever.
-
Oh please it be McCarthy and that they have to destroy the rest of their '24 and part of their '25 draft to do so.
