I think I'm one of the few who thought Alexei was just not a very good ML player. Very disappointing after a promising rookie season.

I think the game is moving well past the soft tossing contact pitchers of the past. You have to strikeout people to survive in this game today. Now, Detmer appears to have a lot of swing and miss potential with the curve ball, but I don't know how that transfers from College to MLB.

Really love the upside on this kid. He's my guy.

Can someone clarify if my understanding is correct that players will be given their service time if the season is cancelled? So could this be the reason the White Sox optioned Kopech as early as they did? What does this do for players no longer on their rookie deals who signed long term, like Eloy, TA, Robert, and Moncada? I'd imagine the Sox would get the full benefit of the "years in contract" and the service time deal no longer applies.

Farmio: "Flowers to the mound to talk to Noesi. Here comes Coop." Farmio: "Here's how that conversation is gonna go: (Coop) how's he throwing? (Flowers) I don't know, I haven't caught one" RIP Ed Farmer. "GO CRAZY!"

The TA Brain Farts are still gonna part of his game?

BTW, shame on Rick Hahn for not have given Yermin an extended look last September. Especially with the pile of ass he had up here taking ABs to close out the season. Maybe you would have found a DH then and avoided looking for one in the offseason.

Have a defensive position.

Thank God folks didn't see Frank Thomas in Spring Training.

All the Delmonico play so fart it's as if they are trying to force him on. Giving him every chance to make this team.

Would have liked this a bit more if more money was front loaded vs the back end when other contracts on the team would be coming due for renewals and extensions.

I think you missed the 2 years of Free Agency control, which is worth more than the actual money savings.

The money will be spent.

What a bargain. Still nowhere close to the first $100 million deal in team history, thought this one would be a guarantee. I love you Jerry Reinsdorf ! Don't change old man.

More alarming than his soft contact, Madrigal's speed is a bit overrated from what I've seen this spring.
