He looks leaned out

Do it.

Let’s get this thread back on track. The Sox can’t roster all three of Grichuk, Hays, & Pereira. Everson is the only one controllable beyond this year and who can play CF…ideally you keep him so you don’t have to find someone to fill this role next year. That means you got to move one of Hays or Grichuk and it would be hard to move the latter after what he’s done. Both Austin & Pereira are at AAA in rehab stints. I think there is a real possibility that we call up Hays before the Astros series and try to showcase him a bit. We aren’t going to get a ton, but RH bats are in demand right now and he was a $6M signing this past offseason with a strong track against LHP. Maybe he nets you something that can help offset the cost of a rental catcher. Meanwhile, Everson can extend his rehab assignment through the trade deadline. I think they keep him down and use this as an opportunity to get him regular playing time while they work through the major league roster crunch. He comes up post deadline and returns to his previous role.

Exactly.

🤦🏻‍♂️

Ok… now it’s your turn for the same question even though I hadn’t asked you before.

We have zero payroll commitments and a team of cost controllable player. Stop with this insanity. And we have five more years of control of Peters…there is zero reason to worry about extending him.

Really loved this interview with MiLB Hitting Coordinator Sherman Johnson and thought you all would too: https://youtu.be/q4W1cQwa60M?is=c1fqpyUrgvlKaKbt

He thinks we should consider trading Murakami for pitching

White Sox not paired with any of the catching names yet, but quite a few of the pitchers. Detmers, Soriano, Foster Griffin, Robbie Ray, Clay Holmes No Casey Mize, and Bleday would have been a good pickup, although they’re obviously happier with Grichuk than Hays SIMLB Trade Candidate Rankings, Deadline Predictions 2.0: T...With MLB’s trade deadline fast approaching, we’re ranking the top 25 players who could be moved in terms of value—and predicting if they’ll be traded.

Antonacci and Acuna have been among the worst defenders in terms of OAA…despite being among the fastest players on the team. While Peters, Colson, Chase, Braden and even Jacob Gonzalez have been among the best. baseballsavant.comChicago White Sox Statcast, Visuals & Advanced Metrics |...Chicago White Sox Statcast, Visuals & Advanced Metrics | MLB.com

Braden Montgomery is becoming a weapon on the basepaths(outside of an occasional mistake). He's got his dad's running back legs...strong with a burst when a hole opens up . Sneaky fast guys like vargas, colston, Braden,Sammy,tristan,acuna help play small ball.

The next 16 games are huge and tough, we play the Astros for 3, Yankees for 4, Rays for 3, Red Sox for 3 and Guards for 3. If we can still be 7-8 games over after this spell I think we will make the playoffs, 2 of the keys are Mune and Colson, they need to start hitting homers again, I know Colson is streaky but he’s really in a funk right now. Whoever helped him last year when they sent him to Arizona in the middle of the season should be working with him now. The pitching except for Tuesday has been pretty good, the bullpen has really stepped it up, somehow we have to find another starter and a serviceable catcher. I’m not counting on Teel, they are saying up to 8 weeks before he’s back and with a rehab stint the season is just about over, I think they should shut the guy down and let him have the whole off-season to be 100% ready for 2027.

Will Cholowsky play in the minors this year?

It looks like Sam and Tristan are running out of gas. Pereira is back playing and it might be time to swap him for Junior Perez. He and Grichuk could spell Sam and Tristan against lefties.

So hype about these two together

How about a mystery 10 day IL for Seranthony with a trip to the pitching lab to get it together.

Back to the youth/defense/run prevention model of the Brewers... That's basically their version of Moneyball 2020's, that speed and defense is much more affordable than paying through the teeth for peak offensive production at corner spots. That taking money earmarked for Mune might better be invested across Vargas Colson and even Peters (as the best defender and fastest player on the team...unless you think it's Baldwin or Actually.) "Over the last decade, Milwaukee’s organizational philosophy has been straightforward: build around run prevention. The Brewers prioritize strong defense and pitching, then rely on a lineup that does just enough offensively to outscore opponents. That formula has helped them remain one of baseball’s most consistent contenders despite operating with a bottom-third payroll. Both Pratt and Lara fit that profile perfectly. Pratt is a 2024 Minor League Gold Glove winner whose defense earns 60 grades for both fielding and arm strength from MLB Pipeline. Pipeline is even higher on Lara, giving him a 70 grade for his defense and 60 grades for both his arm and speed. Both players project as significantly above-average fielders in the major leagues and have been consistently great defenders in the minor leagues. Furthermore, while no prospect is a sure thing, defensive skills tend to be more stable and predictable than offensive production — something that most likely gives the Brewers a little more confidence in offering Lara and Pratt their extensions." baseballsavant.comMilwaukee Brewers Statcast, Visuals & Advanced Metrics |...Milwaukee Brewers Statcast, Visuals & Advanced Metrics | MLB.comA full 12 members of the Brewers are at sprint speeds between 27.9 and 30!!!

Everything’s all great vibes for now, but it’s still a JR organization. Feels like we’re just jumping over this still lengthy transition period to the time when there’s a new stadium and a blank checkbook like the Phillies or Padres. We already know Meidroth and Antonacci likely can’t stay together in the lineup, and future lineup space for Carlson Thome Prosek and Weingartner could be limited as well. There’s definitely a legit case to be made for splitting the theoretical Mune extension $$$ two or three ways between Vargas Colson and Roch. Heck, we might be less than another season away from saying the same about Peters, although that’s certainly much less of a priority.

Sure would have been nice to have signed him this offseason as many of us wanted.

What the f*** are you talking about?

Bingo
