Who?

Never heard of this guy but he said something good so I rate him as highly trustworthy in predictions

Another clown writer trying to get clicks by making controversial (i.e. senseless) predictions. He also picked Cincinnati to win the NL Central.

You > Shaheen.

Dahl and Tapia from Rockies. Peralta - Dbacks

A much needed win, and Mitch looked good for a couple of series. But a crappy defense and back up QB and winning by the skin of their teeth isn’t exactly encouraging.

I put it in another thread, but Pirates’ Gregory Polanco.

sorry😯

I get it, but I don't think drafting for need is the way to go. None of our 1B/DH types are exactly world beaters. Vaughn is supposed to be a generational type hitter.

If Hahn and JR do their jobs this winter, I would pick the Sox to win the division as well. This team is stacked with raw talent.

Let’s just sign Jose to a three-year contract already at $45M, $50M, whatever the hell it turns out to be, have a little love fest with the guy to start the offseason off on a positive note, and move on. Neither the length of, nor the money in, this contract is going to cripple this team in any way, shape, or form in either the near or long term future. Period. He’ll transition to DH at that time when appropriate, and that will be that. The clubhouse maintains its leader, and the organization keeps the face of the franchise. Win win all the way around.

See ya Jose that’s way too much

Are you a real life George Costanza?

You haven’t received a response because you are a legit crazy person.

We must name this individual so he can be berated for having a different opinion than us

I feel like he was pretty hamstrung by Kenny for the first few years of his "GM" tenure, and the rebuild marks the time when he actually got to start doing what he wanted. In my view, Hahn's defining move is getting players to sign long-term deals early, which drastically raises their value. I'm happy with the young talent that he has acquired since the rebuild began. I was hoping the Sox would get Machado, but the fact of the matter is Moncada (in his breakout year) was pretty significantly better than Manny last year. Last season would have been early in a rebuild to start adding veterans, I think. Now that several of the young players have shown that they are good (potentially great) major league players, and a couple more are right on the cusp, the Sox know what areas need to be addressed via free agency. Jerry's track record is very poor in regards to free agents, but the White Sox have literally never been in this position, financially, so I'm giving him this winter to change his stripes. They could add three absolutely premiere FAs, and still only put themselves near 11th or 12th in payroll (where they were from '05 until the start of the rebuild). This is Hahn's one chance, though, in my eyes. This rebuild is his baby, I think. It's the first thing that doesn't feel like it has Kenny's fingerprints on it. I am very happy with the early returns on the added youth, but if the rebuild does not produce a multi-year playoff contender at some point, then Hahn has failed, and he must go. I think the "beginning of the end" of a GM's first attempt at a rebuild is a pretty slanted spot to judge him, statistically. But, of course, I am an optimist by nature.

It's the "millennials are soft" era according to the statniks.

Is that what the statniks say, is this the injured era
