Smart enough not to give in on the FB. Escaped.

Can't pull him. Do get one more mound visit in the 9th apparently.

First time Leasure under real legitimate pressure. Last Sox mount visit.

Harrelson would be apoplectic with that walk. Grifol managing this one like his job depends upon it.

Rays and White Sox will be tied at 1-8 in series openers if the score holds up.

That buys him another month on the roster. Almost had two. What's the update on Stassi?

Getz and Grifol with a sigh of relief...but this game isn't yet out of hand, as the Rays' announcers seemingly conceded.

Was Kyle Hendricks a star with the Cubs? Solid big leaguer. Somewhere between him and Maddux. That's a huge range range of outcomes. #4-5 on these White Sox means he's out of the game before he qualifies for a pension.

How many of the members of that 2012 Sox team went on to great success elsewhere? Obviously you had Sale and Q...but who else actually turned out to be good?

So then there's basically zero point to any sports message board...since it's nearly impossible for anyone to "prove" or validate their credibility, ultimately. Unless they actually work inside the industry. Got it.

Let's see back in 2014-15 the evidence that you were forecasting him as a future star lol...why didn't they or anyone else listen to you? You scouted him at Berkeley? You could have sent a resume like WDWF supposedly did to JR every summer and secured yourself an internship. Maybe even a paid one.

But they will force him into RF due to his arm strength. In the end, he will barely be remembered 2-3 years from now. Mena at least has a chance to become a meaningful contributor.

This is the very definition of how Hahn put this organization behind the 8 ball. Incrementally. One bad move at a time creating an avalanche of diminished talent on the active roster...and a middling at best farm system whose major source of talent (Cuba) has pretty much completely dried up.

Give one example of a player evaluation that you have EVER been right about...? Yeah, thought so.

He chose between McCarthy and Fletcher. Two 26 year olds. At least Jake has held his own as a major leaguer this season.
