The expiration date is about 2 months from now. How is that possible for chicken in a fridge (even if it's cooked)?

1. Chicago White Sox

Roch Cholowsky, SS, UCLA

I can already feel White Sox fans tensing up, because projecting this pick has become only more complicated since my last projection about a month ago. The industry buzz is that Cholowsky vs. Grady Emerson is edging closer to a true 50-50 internally for Chicago. I still think Cholowsky wins a toss-up and because of that, he's probably 55% or 60% more likely to be the pick.

Emerson is perceived by other teams as having slightly higher upside and would come with some savings (to be spent on later picks) compared to Cholowsky, with the pro-Cholowsky camp arguing that he'll be a big league shortstop in 12 months and there's less variance/risk in his overall projection.

The other complication here is the competition from below. The Giants have been rumored all spring to be aggressively trying to land Cholowsky or Emerson at No. 4 via an overslot bonus. They just traded Patrick Bailey to Cleveland in a deal that included getting the 29th pick, which comes with just under $3.3 million more pool money.

The industry chatter is that the Giants are both looking at prep lefties with the recently acquired pick and wanted more pool space to hopefully affect the top of the draft. Can the Giants offer enough money to embolden Cholowsky or Emerson to put his foot down on a price that would cause other teams to pass on one or both of them? Unlikely, but this scenario now has to be considered. It was a different regime, but this strategy is similar to how the Giants landed Buster Posey (now their team president) in the 2008 draft.

The original video plays in the correct aspect ratio with bars on the side. When I expand it to full screen, there are bars on all sides, but the aspect ratio is still correct. When I play that video through Plex, it stretches the top and bottom of the video and ruins the ratio.

Does anyone know how I can fix this (with re-encoding)?

I don't mind if there are bars on all sides like in picture 2, I just want the correct aspect ratio.
