Please DO NOT tell me about the haul of prospects that a possible borderline ace will bring with his controllability and still upside or that an ace is a waste on a rebuilding team.

Huge next 7 games for our 2018 draft pick against Padres and Giants. I still think the White Sox will get #1 but #2 is in play.
