Completely agree. The ask for Reynolds last year was Vaughn and Kopech. Could that probably have been negotiated down to something like Vaughn and Crochet and prospects, sure, but he's way better/more valuable than people think. You aren't getting him for anything headlined by a (White Sox) minor leaguer
-
True, but in his last 13 appearances he’s at 13.1 IP, 0 R, 4 H, 3 BB, 19 K. Still impressive. Of all players/coaches to complain about right now, he’s probably the last one deserving of it other than Cease
-
He hasn’t allowed a single run in 60 days
-
Ironically, this is the first year Moncada has done exactly that, and it's also the first year he has missed significant (as in more than a few weeks) time

Lenyn Sosa joins the White Sox (Update Pg. 5)

Lenyn Sosa joins the White Sox (Update Pg. 5)
Jose Abreu replied to southsider2k5's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Only the White Sox would base the near future of their (arguable) top prospect off a literal one game sample. It really sucks for Sosa, too. You get called up for the first time in your career only to be told you're starting just one game, and it if doesn't go well, you're probably back to the minors -
Good call

The way ownership thinks about it isn't "what a disappointing season, Tony deserves some blame." IMO, it's "what a disappointing season, now imagine how much worse it would be if we didn't have Tony running the show!"

6/9 GT: LAD @ Sox 1:10pm (Cease vs. Anderson)
Jose Abreu replied to ChiSox59's topic in 2022 Season in Review
I'm guessing the former. But Duber actually asked him a "tough" question yesterday, so you never know -
6/9 GT: LAD @ Sox 1:10pm (Cease vs. Anderson)
Jose Abreu replied to ChiSox59's topic in 2022 Season in Review
I definitely hope it snowballs somehow. The organization deserves the embarassment. And when asked about it postgame, I hope the reporters don't just ask about the decision, but also point out that Muncy is a better hitter against LHP for his career than RHP -
6/9 GT: LAD @ Sox 1:10pm (Cease vs. Anderson)
Jose Abreu replied to ChiSox59's topic in 2022 Season in Review
It feels so weird that an opposing player just cussed out the manager of my favorite team, and I'm 100% on the side of the player -
Sox vs Blue Jays 6:07, Giolito vs Gausman
Jose Abreu replied to reiks12's topic in 2022 Season in Review
If we are to assume that he won't be re-signed, then it feels like a no-brainer to me. You could get the catcher of the future, one of their top 100 pitching prospects and a lefty bat (Busch?) prospect all in one swing rather than the comp pick after next season -
5/22 GT - Sox @ NYY (Double Header)
Jose Abreu replied to Chicago White Sox's topic in 2022 Season in Review
Really pleasantly surprised by that. I was not expecting them to treat the topic with the nuance it deserves -
5/21 Sox @ Yankees | 12:05PM CT | Keuchel vs Cortes
Jose Abreu replied to Capn12's topic in 2022 Season in Review
I know these are jokes to some extent, but it really is a good strategy for teams hosting the White Sox to postpone games rather than delaying/hoping for a window. I'm being 100% serious when I say it gives the team playing the White Sox a competitive advantage -
We have Gavin Sheets already. What more could you want?

Cleveland at Sox-Game one, 7:10 CT
Jose Abreu replied to ScootsMcGoots's topic in 2022 Season in Review
This is my hope, that they're just taking it easy and that this won't be the season-long distribution (now 15 starts for McGuire, 13 for Grandal). It's telling that the only people who are happy with the arrangement are only the ones who never liked him in the first place. It's wild to me every time I come back here and see that the view is still so prevalent considering how good he was last year -
It will never happen, but Anderson-Moncada-Robert-Vaughn (or Vaughn-Robert) is my dream 1-through-4

Crosstown Series Game One--6:40 CT
Jose Abreu replied to ScootsMcGoots's topic in 2022 Season in Review
I think he's a useful player if he's starting once or twice a week. Problem is he's starting more often than not. Sounds familiar if you ask me -
Madrigal's .349 OBP in 2021 was behind Grandal (.420), Robert (.378), Moncada (.375), and Abreu (.351)
-
1-3? You're much more optimistic than I am, especially with how hot the Angels have been
-
Agreed. And Pollock has only started six games since he missed time already
-
The weird thing for me with Grandal is the lack of walks. I'm thinking/hoping it's just a slow start like last year, but I do agree on the ball affecting him as I recall a couple barrel outs from him recently. You never know with Pollock but I have a hard time believing that he's cooked this soon. He may not be as good as he was last year, but when healthy he was one of the best hitters on one of the best teams in baseball. I think he has 2-3 more above average years
-
The only one I have concerns about there is Abreu. Pollock will be fine IMO, this was only his sixth start of the season and he clearly should've gotten a rehab stint to get his timing back. I know this forum generally hates Grandal, but while it's unlikely that he'll be as good as he was last year (I'm not sure if we'll ever see that kind of output from a White Sox catcher again), he's streaky and starting to make better contact at least over the last few games
-
I don't think he makes it through May (or whenever Lynn returns)
