Chicago White Sox Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Assuming a deal gets done today, how quickly can we expect the Sox to sign Michael Conforto? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my first thought. It came to me a little differently though: ”So… what time on Wednesday do we sign Conforto?” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FriendlyNorthsider Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 25 minutes ago, Sarava said: I'd be a fan of shift restrictions. I think a decent compromise would be to allow shift changes in the 7th inning for at least this year. That way it speeds up the game while giving teams and players and off-season to see how it affects certain players performance. The exxagerated shift basically ended Mark Teixeira's career. 2003-2009 BABIP .308 2010-2016 BABIP .246 The hard contact % and spray charts were essentially unchanged. Of note for the Sox is that Grandal faced the 4th highest shift percentage (94.3%) of players with at least 200 PAs. Grandal had 16 left handed plate appearances without a shift so it's hard to know what the impact on him would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I would posit that physical issues and health/availability ended Texeiras career more than the shift did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I’m ok with shifting but think it is a bit ridiculous when there are 5 guys in the outfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can’t they just have an upward adjustment in the CBT of something like a 3-3.5% increase each year (accounting for extraordinarily high inflation this cycle)…even 2.5% would be better.
