Setting up in a specific direction instead of being more "loose/fast-twitchy" at the bag and ready to move quickly to his left or right for errant throws always seems to elude him. It's something quite basic Bryce Harper picked up in a matter of weeks.

Or he needs a much bigger target and more athletic 1B...

"The San Jose Sharks won the draft lottery on Tuesday and earned the right to have the No. 1 pick in the NHL draft for the first time in franchise history. The Sharks finished last in the overall standings and retained their position in the lottery. Now San Jose has the opportunity to select Boston University center Macklin Celebrini, who is ranked first among North American skaters by NHL Central Scouting." Not even sure how much more excited Sox fans would be with this possibility...guess it would depend on the upcoming draft class. With the White Sox luck, it would be 1-1 at the top of the 2024 NBA Draft (as opposed to 2023).

5-5 for the last ten?

Scheduled for Saturday, May 25, the Hall of Fame East-West Classic presented by Boeing and fueled by assistance from Major League Baseball, will feature more than two dozen former big leaguers, with White Sox Assistant GM Josh Barfield, Ken Griffey Jr. and Ozzie Smith among the Hall of Famers who will serve as the East and West teams’ managers and coaches.

The Tigers were considering designating Torkelson to AAA and look at his 2023 numbers compared to Vaughn's... Also, Ramos has the one Sox .300 average but still a sub 600 OPS. Give him 2-3 more weeks to get it under .500, I guess.

JR wants to extract his full money's worth of suffering...just like Grifol. Should sue Hahn lol.

It's beyond that. This isn't a tweak of his stuff. It's just gone.

We could have had Rosario and Profar up the middle for the same price...and actually gotten a bit of entertainment and fun.

Would have been much better just to eat his contract. Like Kimbrel's QO to Pollock to Benintendi. One mistake compounds upon another. Just cut the cord.

The most impressive aspect was by and large maintaining his composure better than his father and staff when the entire season was pretty much improving after the hot start. Hunter getting hurt in the CSU game really stopped their forward momentum.

I watched his first 4-5 games last year. Can't say really what he is with all the offensive line issues and chaos last season. I would have guessed mid to late first round. He's not nearly as explosive in the open field as a runner compared to Williams or Daniels, for example. Heck he'd be behind all the first rounders this year with the possible exception of Penix Jr. in that category.

It was the year of taking incoming shots organizationally...pretty much from all directions. More ex and current players sniping than any year but Drake/Eaton/Sale/LaRoche Gate. Solid deadline for once...almost shocking dismissals of the two headed GM but then Sox were somehow left stuck with JR, Grifol and Getz still, so hard to see that as a net positive even.

The Dodgers battle you every single at bat, up and down the lineup...all game long. They just wear teams down until one of their relievers eventually cracks. Three MVP candidates and Smith isn't far behind. But even the complementary guys like Pages Outman (last year) Heyward. Lux and Taylor have given you almost nothing and they're still hunting along and obviously getting more and more of their starting pitchers back as well. The single biggest problem is running away from the division too easily and getting caught by a hot team in the first round. Well...that and the bullpen.

Contract extension...centerpiece of the franchise at age 36.
