Absolutely. Then take a look at the catching and the relief pitching. Hahn, I think has gotten pretty much of a pass as a GM during the salary dump ordered by Reinny. And this absolutely was just a salary dump and nothing else. Did Hahn get some good prospects in return? Yep. But it really was not any kind of rocket science when you think about it. The players that they gave up to a player were good to excellent MLB players. And I do wonder what the "PLAN" of this rebuild really is? I think that it is really disjointed in its timing.

This is a 2 horse race up top. There could be a lot of jockeying between 3-8.

1. Baltimore -
2. Kansas City-
3. White Sox 6
4. San Diego 11
5. Detroit 12.5
5. Miami 12.5
5. NY Mets 12.5

Jr put on a very professional BP yesterday. The first two rounds he was going the other way and peppering the L screen showing his feel to hit then the final round he launched bombs. He hit the building in left field a couple times (the wind was blowing out) which is unbelievable. He’s not the most physical kid in the world (6’1” 185) but his swing is very fluid with tremendous timing and rhythm. The ball just explodes off his bat. CJ Abrams, Riley Greene and Rece Hinds were others who were very impressive. The top of next years draft should be very good.

I care not a wit.

Kansas City is making a run at the top spot. The Sox are creating a nice cushion between 3-4 and they still have 6 games against the Yankees and a 4 gamer against the Red Sox.

1. Baltimore -
2. Kansas City .5
3. White Sox 5.5
4. San Diego 9
5. Detroit 12.5
5. Texas 12.5

Balt and KC are running away and hiding. Miami is making a run at the top 3.

1. Baltimore -
2. Kansas City 1
3. White Sox 8
4. San Diego 12.5
5. Miami 13

It's time to get back to their losing ways in New York.

1. Baltimore -
2. Kansas City 3
3. San Diego 11.5
4. White Sox 14.5
5. Miami 15.5
6. Detroit 16

The Fighting Bucks have pulled away from the pack. Gonna be a fight for top 5.

1. Baltimore -
2. Kansas City 6.5
3. San Diego 14
4. Detroit 15
5. Miami 15
6. White Sox 16
7. Cincy 19

Is there a team that has learned to pull up in the stretch run better than the Tigers?

They got back on track with some good losing last week. This will be a tough week with series against KC and Baltimore.

1. Baltimore -
2. Kansas City 6.5
3. San Diego 15
3. White Sox 15
5. Miami 15.5
6. Detroit 18
7. Cincy 19.5

3-3 against the two worst teams in the game is all that could be expected. It's getting down to crunch time. Hopefully Cleveland doesn't lay doesn't this week.

1. Baltimore -
2. Kansas City 9
3. Miami 15
4. White Sox 16
5. San Diego 16.5
6. Detroit 18
7. Cincy 20.5

Ok they worked themselves back into 3rd. Need some good losing this last week to hold off the rest of the turds.

1. Baltimore -
2. Kansas City 8.5
3. White Sox 16
4. San Diego 16.5
5. Miami 17
6. Detroit 17.5

Good loss last night paired with a Padres win. Hopefully Tito plays his regulars tonight and Bauer is able to go deeper in the game. The Marlins taking one from the Nats would be nice too.

1. Baltimore -
2. Kansas City 9
3. White Sox 16
4. Miami 17
5. San Diego 17.5
6. Detroit 18

Fucking fuckface Francona cost them a loss last night. If they drop out of the top 5 because of that game I'm going to be so fucking pissed. Play the game the right way tonight you fucking dick.

1. Baltimore -
2. Kansas City 9.5
3. Miami 16.5
4. White Sox 16.5
5. San Diego 17
6. Detroit 18.5

Holy fuck shut up. What does it matter if the Sox pick 4th or 10th? If they pick a guy you hate, like Madrigal, you are going to be all over them anyway.

Good loss last night but they should have been swept (fuckin Francona). Need to lose at least 3-4 in Minny. It would really be nice if the Marlins could win a game or two in NY.

1. Baltimore -
2. Kansas City 10
3. Miami 16
4. White Sox 16
5. San Diego 17.5
6. Detroit 18

Good job. Good job.

Now back at #3.

They'll draft another 2nd baseman.

There are 2 top SS and 2 top C's sitting there. I would assume the Sox will take a C.

They did a very good job of losing two yesterday paired with a Marlins and Padres win. Finish this thing out and get that 3rd pick. It's still near impossible to believe a season this fucking horrible and they're still battling for the 3rd god damn pick.

1. Baltimore -
2. Kansas City 10.5
3. White Sox 15.5
