Darvish might work out in the end. Zobrist paid for himself in 2016 and was surprisingly effective for his age until this year. Overall, he’s better with trades, like Jesse Chavez last summer.

I think when they finally have a good team, I think they can carry Engel as the 4th bench player purely for pinch running and late inning defensive replacement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said he'll be a bench guy for a playoff team, have a big hit/play and never have to buy a drink in that city again. Maybe, hopefully, it happens here. Engel seems like a different player since being recalled. It remains to be seen if he can keep it up offensively but as a baserunner and defender he can be useful 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re going to be hard-pressed to find four better than Contreras, Baez, Bryant, Rizzo...maybe Houston, Boston, Yankees or Dodgers can come up with three or four with similar value.

Moan4Yoan Posted July 28, 2019 Author Share Posted July 28, 2019 (edited) 2 minutes ago, Tony said: What do the Cubs have to do with the Sox? Caufield brought up what was going on in the Cubs game, I responded, which had ZERO to do with the Sox. The fact remains they have one the highest payrolls in the league and over the last 75 games have played .500 baseball. All this is happening when they are in their designed window. Theo has struck out on a number of FA signings, nothing related to the Sox. See, people can have conversations outside of how bad Jerry and Rick are and that the Sox won’t spend any money. Novel concept, but you’ll figure it out one day. So the Cubs spend money and you say they are mediocre. Meanwhile, the Sox likely won’t spend any money like the Cubs but we have to hope they will be mediocre. Great logic. Maybe you’ll figure out one day that Reinsdorf is the problem, not pissed off fans. Edited July 28, 2019 by Moan4Yoan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I just have a calm feeling when Colome comes into the game. He just gets the job done. If he's still here next year, fine with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you somehow trying to say the Sox should spend money, even if it’s poorly spent? Again, I never once brought up the Sox. You did. Their situations have no comparison. You can critique the Cubs situation and also criticize the Sox, like I’ve done in the past. You’re not making any sense, junior. Let’s reconvene when Cole, Ozuna, etc. sign elsewhere next offseason.

You can’t have an actual baseball conversation without discussing Rick Hahn and the White Sox not spending money. You said the Cubs have wasted a lot of money in FA signings. My point is who cares? They have earned a much bigger following and fanbase in which they can whiff on signings and have it not even impact them. Would you rather be in the Cubs situation or the Sox situation where they have to sweat every dollar spent? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 (edited) Will happily take the disastrous Kimbrel line tonight for the fantasy team. Crazy...Yelich and Huira homers to chalk it off. Saladino walked in the middle of all that, he’s like 8/60 on the season but had grand slams Sunday and Monday...talking about role players who will be eligible for free beer for life in Wisconsin. Huira picked 9th, two spots before Burger at 11th. Jo Adell, one of the best prospects in baseball now, selected 10th.
