Jack Parkman Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 6 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: I’m not sure how this prevents us from adding another starter. This is probably a $2M signing that sends Burr to AAA to start the year. Let's say this is a $3M signing. That leaves them $13M under the tax (pending Kimbrel, which obviously nobody has any idea what's going on there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like these types of pickups, but I fear the Sox tend to see them as reliable solutions instead of insurance policies with upside. Spot on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve said they’re waiting to discuss it, but let’s put it this way… In 1990, they ended the lockout on March 19, and opening day was April 9th. They went with 28 man active rosters for three weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chick Mercedes Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) Someone dared RH to field a team made entirely of utility guys, first basemen, and relievers. So, a challenge Edited March 13, 2022 by Chick Mercedes 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maloney.adam Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I think this is more of a depth or bullpen piece and I don’t think this eliminates them from trading for a SP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillian Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Did anyone notice that, last year with San Diego, he gave up 6 homers, in 12 and 2/3 innings? Ouch!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBX Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Vinnie and Chuck are both cringe. I've never understood the water-carrying culture. It's not casual baseball skeptics tuning into offseason analysis podcasts. You can tell it like it is, even with a slightly optimistic bent. You'd probably do a lot better too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ'S Cousin Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Another piece of shit pick up. Just looked at his stats and they SUCK. We always go on the cheap and try and fiund that diamond in the rough or a rehab project. Hahn and JR believe they can win with just pitching. All be it the pitching is pretty damn good but Harrison Valasquez and Kelly will not bring us to the promised land, only a legit right fielder and a REAL SECOND BASEMAN.

Don’t remember a huge problem league wide. Of course that’s pre-max effort baseball. But if they expanded in April 1990, they’re expanding the roster in April 2022. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving Kimbrel is still a must in order to add a major piece and have room for mid-season additions. I highly doubt Jerry is willing to go into the tax.
