Well, and first of all, it's funny you hear Chalaski say it was so nice to hear his name called.
He kind of heard his name called there.
But no, on a serious note with it kind of was down to the wire ish.
You know, I think not to the degree that we saw last year.
where Eli Willits went to the nationals and from everything I understand that was literally down to the final minutes there, but there was a lot of back and forth.
I think that Cholowski was always the guy that I think was the favorite and for good reason.
And it seems that Cholowski very much wanted to be a White Sox and wanted to be the number one overall pick.
But as you know, this is also a rare opportunity for the White Sox who had 20 plus million dollars in their bonus pool to accumulate as much talent as they can.
And the MLB draft is very unique where it's, it,
It's very creative-oriented where you're going to be looking to overslot some players in the third round that you think are first-round talents and try to buy different players down and get creative and maximize the amount of talent that you can bring in.
Cholowski's the biggest piece of that puzzle, but it did seem like there was a little bit of back and forth there.
Ultimately, though, it seemed like both sides wanted this to happen, and they made it happen.
You know, I think with those things, it's funny.
We joke about it sometimes on the show because you could almost play playback snippets of us talking through the years.
And you could have us almost arguing against ourselves with the way it just flips and flops back and forth when it comes to the MLB draft.
Because
Maybe Cholowski gets off to a better start in the minor leagues and gets to the major leagues quicker.
But then Emerson, as he reaches age 21, 22, starts to grow into more power.
Now he reaches another plateau.
So with those types of things, when you have two really good players and somewhat different players.
