  1. Am I the only 1 that still can’t get over how horribly the Oscar Colas situation has gone? In 1 calendar year we went from having a top 100 prospect who was too good to leave in the minors, to signing scraps late in spring to play over him. Was Colas that immature/unprofessional? Just seems like Getz and crew made it apparent that Colas was never going to get a shot at the RF job from the beginning. And I’m not saying Colas has really earned anything, but with the state of this organization doesn’t it make sense to just give him a shot to bounce back?
  2. It’s honestly hard to grade because the reality is that we were all VERY wrong on Cease’s value across the league. It’s hard not to be disappointed because of the collective hope/expectation. I’m curious if rumors will come out on what other offers were. I’ll say it’s a C for now
  3. I think it’s a little extreme to say that it can’t be fixed for a 21 year old kid in his 2nd year being a full time baseball player. Especially for someone with his type of electric stuff, I could see if he can’t harness 94/95 but 98-100 makes a lot more sense…at least to me
  4. Well…we clearly overvalued Cease’s worth. Fully expecting Orioles fans to flood back here. I assume Getz knows he will never be able to sign even an above average SP under age 35 on the open market so prioritized getting 2 arms that could be in the rotation in the near future. Zavala seems very interesting and complete opposite of every other White Sox player in that he gets on base. I don’t think this trade is a catastrophe or anything…but hard not to feel foolish about what we expected vs what we got Edit: If Iriarte can’t be a starter this might be a catastrophe.
  5. Count me in on the Brody Brecht hype train. He has the type of electric arm and stuff to be a bonafide ace. Even if he takes an extra year to fully develop than other college pitchers his potential ceiling would be well worth the wait imo.
  6. No idea what the solution would be but that bottom 3 is an out waiting to happen. If the offense ever were to get momentum those 3 in a row is going to kill it.
  7. They have to be doing this on purpose at this point right? 10/10 troll job by Getz
  8. I don’t disagree with you. But unfortunately we all know hoping for high $ free agents to turn the team around is beyond pointless.
  9. Organically as in cross our fingers and hope enough prospects develop because our cheap owner isn’t going to sign the type of free agents necessary to take the team over the top.
  10. CAN? Sure, if by compete you mean push for the division and possibly make the playoffs. But is ownership willing to do what’s necessary to get there? No I don’t think so. Going to have to build it organically and 2026 is probably best case scenario…and even that is pushing it
  11. The big difference is that Wendy’s is upselling for the exact same product. There’s a massive difference between a team like the Royals and a team like Yankees coming into the home park.
  12. Does Herrera go directly into our top 10 prospects? Seems like a legit high ceiling talent and we really only have 7 prospects…
  13. The arm is special and he’s so new to being a full time starter…he’s definitely on my short list of targets.
  14. 7-9 is utterly depressing. I mean the rest isn’t great…but piling up 3 outs at the bottom like that is going to be a killer. Maybe in an alternate universe a young middle infielder actually steps up and earns a job?
  15. I’m very interested in seeing what Brody Brecht does this season for Iowa. If he shows more polish in his 2nd year as a fully dedicated pitcher he could shoot into the top 5. Obviously risk involved, but the sky is the limit for him
