Chicago White Sox

Thanks James. I’m sure I’m wrong here but I thought Getz implied Weaver was headed to A+. For some reason I also thought he hinted at Delgado going to Winston-Salem as well.

Reliever is unlikely to be a big need come July unless a lot of things go wrong.

I honestly think it’s more Coop had gotten pretty bad / behind the times than Katz is the savior. I really think there is some low hanging fruit that can easily be addressed with a more modern pitching coach.

Oh fuck please be true!?!!?!! Imagine if all these plus curveballs come back to life under Katz!!

A lot of young guys will likely be at Kanny. I’d expect Romas, Rodriguez, Bailey, Gladney, Beard, & Mieses all there plus Kelley, Thompson, & Dalquist in the rotation. Even Winston-Salem should have some fun guys in Cespedes, Bush, Sosa, Yolbert, Weaver, and maybe Delgado.

You’re missing the point here. I’m not arguing that Boozer was a good free agent signing or that GarPax did well in free agency in general, but rather that Boozer isn’t proof of a Reinsdorf run organization going cheap. They wanted to sign two of the big three that offseason and whiffed, which resulted in them pivoting to a still very expensive Boozer.

Boozer was 100% a free agent signing and if you are arguing otherwise you simply don’t understand how the NBA works.

Winston-Salem most likely, but I could see him quickly advancing to AA. Sounds like placements will be aggressive this year given all the lost time over the past 12 months.

Alright guys, this thread will serve a dual purpose. First, there are some rumors the Sox are in the mix for Yoenis. How would you feel about adding him to the OF/DH mix? Second, Al’s Beefy is pushing the narrative that Yoelqui will move fast and is expected to be the starting RF next year. Do you guys buy that?

Scientific or not, I tend to believe it, at least from my past experiences.

You are taking this Mr 3000 thing way too far

He wasn’t the pick of the litter, but given how the NBA works he was basically paid the same as the other stars. Boozer was a bad signing, but not because he was of the cheap variety.

Longenhagen based on his ranking on one set of appearances and Cespedes didn’t perform well then. Additionally, the kid has transformed his body and swing since leaving Cuba, so some evaluators believe he has vastly more potential than the previous consensus. There is a reason to get hyped behind Yoelqui.

Should be the best in baseball with interesting arms in AAA waiting in the wings.

I still feel they were willing to move Dunning because of their faith in Stiever and his modest looking stuff last year would return to form.

Fuck yes!!

I love the foodies are now football insiders as well!

But you can still be a major free agent and suck, which is what most are arguing.

I doubt vets give two shits about his comment.

I personally think he’d be a decent add. Given the injury histories of Eloy & Eaton, I think having another corner OF type on the cheap makes some sense, even if his defensive prowess has greatly diminished since his peak days. Also, it provides us some Vaughn instance as well.

I’m really excited about Yoelqui and think he might surprise people in RF. Hopefully he hits the ground running as it would be great to have another OF option heading into the offseason.

Outside of the insane physical tools, it sounds like Robert is a very data oriented guy and I think that will help him greatly with his plate discipline as he moves forward. I think his floor is a 5 win player (he was nearly on pace for this last year as a rookie and league average hitter) and his ceiling is best player in baseball. Ultimately, I see Robert plateauing in the 7 to 8 win range with a couple seasons potentially exceeding that if everything clicks.

Oh fuck no...at least I know now I’ve died and gone to hell

You know we can trade him in six years even if the team sucks right?

Robert is a legit five tool CF
