You've already got people calling this better than the last rebuild. Even though Getz and company have showed zero ability to identify and develop any pitching at all. The sad truth is most fans allowed Getz and Jerry bringing the team to horribly inept lows to recalibrate their expectations for a team.

That has absolutely nothing to do with how he was hurt. He was standing and had to go down for the tag. He was never on his knees to start with. His cleat stuck as he was going down to the ground for the tag.

One was a true NPB free agent over 25 like Yamamoto and then Sasaki signed at just over 23 and had a signing bonus restriction.

You basically said throw the past out and focus on the future, which doesnt make much sense for a White Sox fan

Who isnt learning from the past? All I can say is yes to that question so whats your point .

Josh Nelson interviewed him on SM most recent podcast. Kratz said Teel needs to stay on his toes and not try to move around on your knees. He goes a lot more in depth about it Time stamp 6:10

Yea HOF talent after 1 full year of starting pitching excellence. More like HOF injured list. Without Meidroth and Braden yesterday the Sox don't get a win. How many wins has Crochet contributed to this season oh yea a -.6 b/War with the playoffs as a target date for his return while Meidroth and Braden keep building their WAR chest. Hell Teel could return before Crochet.

Ever heard of learning from the past? the sox need to make this playoffs this year before we start to talk about insane hypotheticals like 3-4 years in a row. The century old franchise has never made it even back to back outside the the fake Covid year.

KLaw just put Anderson as #1 on his prospect list.

Throw Teel in the trash heap. He's never going to be a consistent presence. Sox need a new catcher.. again

I am fine trading Carlson if we get a SP with some control. I am not sure I would trade Bonemer for anything that is available especially a closer

Last time we discussed this and you quoted various sources, there was very little medical evidence in it, There was talk from someone about playing shorthanded. That is roster decisions not medical.

He was probably one of the few catchers available that would have been worth a claim. Everyone is upset with Romo but there isn’t much out there. We just have to hope Quero is better this third time around.

Yeah, I expect we're in for a slew of rage-bait posts if Gonzo finds success in Pittsburgh since it'll be a couple of years before the verdict will be in on this year's draft class.

That is a terrible, terrible taste

With the winning record, the Sox no longer have first crack at these guys...

I got that. The arguments are to the point of performance art by now.

Plus the Sox didnt get the Teel injury timeline wrong , he got reinjured. People just keep inventing stories to suit their agenda of constant dysfunction even if there's very little if any evidence of it in the Getz era because it's been only a small period of time. Medical people say a timeline and if it take 9 weeks instead of 8 people get bent out of shape. People heal differently it's why they give should a broad range and even that doesn't cover it sometimes especially in a position so demanding as catcher. But sure lets just treat him as a robot non catcher. No wonder ptatc rarely makes an appearance anymore. Too many civilian medical experts spewing nonsense. last time I saw him he was questioning Lip's medical knowledge . Yea I'd go with Ptatc .

Minus Roch. How many future top 100 players do you see in the sox 26 draft?

I don't know with the Teel injury and Crochet is like the Undertaker . Good Cage match !

Shut him down.

🤣I'm not actually befuddled I was using Ray Rays quote about how frankly befuddled he is seeing the national media declaring the Sox won the Crochet trade. I was amusing myself that I thought no one might pick up on why I said that.

But it doesn't have to be when the past is over and you can live in the present care free until they actually do ruin it again. I do not anticipate it. We had people here saying that 2030 looked optimistic for competing after recent events in the past year. A new rich owner doesn't solve all problems . Look at the Mets. It has its own set of problems. There is only 1 world Series winner a year so disappointment is build into sports. Perhap moreso as a Sox fan but 3 or 4 years in a row of making the playoffs would be a White Sox golden era. More than 5 in a row would seem miraculous and you'd still be disappointed if none of those resulted in a Championship.

We can put them out of their misery this weekend

I'm a student of White Sox history as you know. I can only react to what has taken place. If that changes and I'm still alive to see, say when Ishbia takes over, then maybe I'll have to change my beliefs. Many seasons sometimes many decades it's torture just to be a White Sox fan.
