Pretty sure his defensive penalty was actually not as bad as the positional adjustment of a DH this year. So him being a bad 1B provided a small amount of value over being a DH.

All I'm saying is that if anything is going to get in the White Sox way, it's the money he is actually given during the 2022 calendar year. The million he is given per year after that will be like 0.5% of the budget in those years. The money exists, but it really doesn't much matter.

They are worth zero as far as the 2022 budget is concerned though. Are we all that concerned about the mil that Konerko is getting next year?

Well....they would have trotted LaRoche out there again

All that might be true, but it's still Jerry's money and Hahn, or any GM in the world for that matter, doesn't get final say in what get's done with it.

He was praising it two pages back

Well they haven’t so

One is an elite defender at a premium position and one is the exact opposite.

I just can’t get worked up about a guy I generally want around being like a 1 win value deficit.

I don't expect Abreu's contribution to be literally 0 for what it's worth.

’I can’t believe Hahn has done this!’

Also, he's been set for life the second he signed with the Sox?

I don't like it, but it's realllllly not that big of a deal.

There is a 0% chance this was Hahn, or even Kenny's idea.

Better than last year probably
