I don't know much about projections, but Baseball Reference actually projects Chuckie to have the highest OPS of our 4 catching contenders.

Maybe a classic White Sox player or players would be cool. Like Frank Thomas, Minnie Minoso and Mark Buehrle or somesuch.

It really isn't unreasonable to get a webcast of some kind. Some of the most minor sports around do it.

Do we really trust defensive metrics yet? While they sometimes seem to get the larger picture right, the numbers seem so inconsistent. A player will be in like the 3rd percentile for OAA one year and then in the 99th percentile the next year...

This Bailey dude also has a problem with walks.

Bye mom!

Moncada's hits seeing eye singles, or the forceful variety?

Also, is it just me, or do we sort of have a glut of left handed hitting outfielders? All of whom project a .600 to .750 OPS. 😄

This team should probably be in a complete rebuild, so I understand where the complaints about this trade are coming from. As in we got someone older for someone younger. But don't we have control over Fletcher for a long time? I know he's not Mickey Mantle, but I know Baseball Reference projects a .764 OPS for him. Not horrid. Probably even better if he only hits against righties.

Where's Madrigal!?

I agree that it could. I don't agree that it must have been a factor.

Can we all just agree that we really don't know why Tim tanked last year?

Sheesh... this all makes the Leury Garcia signing seem like an albatross wow.

Do you have a source for the Marlins offer?

Isn't DeJong only getting $1.75 million, plus a potential $250,000 in incentives?

I have issues with the Tony La Russa bit, but nothing in the main article cited here is offensive. And the quote above cuts off the other sentence which says: I get it that Sox fans are pissed. Rightfully so. But this article is a nothing burger.

Okay guys... jesus.

Sir this is a Wendy's...

I totally agree with you here on spelling Luis Robert now and again. So for that reason, Phillips could be very useful. But it's also time for some of these guys to put their big boy pants on. Playing 150 games shouldn't be a crazy idea. Last year these were the game totals for these Braves players: Ronald Acuna Jr. - 159 games Ozzie Albies - 148 games Matt Olson - 162 games Austin Riley - 159 games

Ummm Eloy??? *ducks* Aren't his numbers far superior when he fields rather than as a DH? Team's not really going anywhere, so I'm not that worried about "injury risk." Then we can get Salvy to DH!

Were Montgomery' AFL results really that productive? They don't seem like much on Baseball Reference, but maybe I'm missing something.

Sorry, what? These rules seem pretty reasonable.

I guess we overpaid for Moncada... 17.8m this year, 24.8m next year.
