Nothing wrong with that thought at all. And there are even more variables. Will Mune even be here still after 2027 once Roch is ready? Maybe not. Maybe Vargas is playing 1B after next season? Even if you are a Getz hater, you can’t argue that he hasn’t acquired players with positional flexibility unlike Hahn who loved acquiring positionless turnstile DH’s.

Once again — not in the SoxTalk forum? 🤣🤣🤣

Any sort of bias ruins your company’s credibility, regardless of the topic. This isn’t that difficult to understand.

Then where is the World Cup thread a full two two weeks into the tournament???

Why would there be a right/left political agenda to a sports poll? That doesn't make any sense at all. "Left/woke" is on the side of forcing soccer/football on Americans? Really???...And have been ever since Pele was on the New York Cosmos in the late 70s?

I am literally watching the World Cup Turkey / USA game right now and it has f***-ALL to do with this SoxTalk forum that you posted this thread in. Neither does CNN or the NY Times opinion on anything.

Sorry to challenge your limited world view/s... Mods can go ahead and bury this in some far flung section of the site that nobody goes to anymore. We'll just pretend this whole World Cup thing doesn't exist as anything but a foreign touristic invasion of the country...with their strange/eccentric antics at baseball stadiums across the country.

This isn’t that difficult — AP and Reuters. Stay away from CNN, MSNBC, FOX News, NY Times, etc. You seem to know the usual suspects so why are you acting surprised?

So what objective source of news information exists in the world today? There isn't one, right? I suppose the NY Times is corrupting The Athletic... Everyone complained about the depth of recent results for the "negative/anti Sox" The Athletic's players' poll feedback recently. "Scientific polling" can be massaged based on how questions/options are posed. I suppose the foreign/outsidery football is a threat to America too. It's why Alexei Lalas still refuses to call it anything besides soccer.

I wouldn’t waste the effort to turn on my VPN for CommieNN. You shared a link that not everyone could even view without a paid option. Your mistake, not mine. A Cubs/Mets game is far more interesting than this bullshit post. Even you know this.

Wuhan boy, I tried to play the video at your link and it asked me to pay to watch it. I wouldn’t pay to watch any news you sourced whether it was provided by commie CNN or commie Chy-Nuh. I can get CNN for free via live streams but they would have to pay me to watch that crap. There’s a reason their profits are declining fast as f***. No one gives a f*** about CNN anymore but you.

You don't get CNN lol? https://www.cnn.com/videos/title-2572883 I can click directly on this link with a VPN and get to the video and you can't in the US? Well there's always Cubs/Mets now in extra innings to capture your attention.

His first link doesn’t even work, unless you subscribe. This is likely just another one of the Wuhan kid’s posts being placed in the wrong forum. I have never been a hater and even defended him numerous times, but you would think @caulfield12 would get it by now why he’s the site’s whipping boy. He fucking asks for it.

CNN posed the question. Not me. Soccer and cricket are the two sports with the biggest global pull... You can start by comparing EPL La Liga Serie A Bundesliga and PSG team valuations. Youth participation rates. Safety of soccer vs. other sports...obviously concussion rates from headers to be considered. Cost/s of participation. Adult viewership. Youth viewership. Viewership demographics. Advertising/corporate sponsorship dollars.

Feel better?

This is a troll post

Written into the 26-year-old's contract extension is a clause that if spends over 120 days on the injured list with a left arm injury, would trigger a $15 million club option for 2032, essentially turning his six-year deal into a seven-year deal. Probably covers everything from shoulder/rotator cuff all the way through elbow/forearm.

I just said to wait to see what Roch does in the Minors for Csakes.

First Bill Maher, then Blago, and now this other @hole . I disagree.

We need a boner emoji

He will never be another Bobby Witt in power or speed or defensive brilliance. Meidroth is a very good but not quite great/elite defender. 2006-2008 Sox position groups, 2019-2021 all make good arguments. Current White Sox still not getting enough from OF overall...catcher pre Teel and DH has been below average, too.

Meidroth has been something of a virtuoso at 2B defensively. He has range to his right and up the middle and has a quick catch and release on double plays. According to Baseball Reference, Chase has a .266 BA with 14 doubles and 6 HR. Replace him? No. What other lame brain ideas are out there to break up one of the best position player groups the White Sox have had since winning the World Series? Then consider his value as a gamer to this team in the clubhouse and on the field. The old adage "if it ain't broke don't fix it" should apply. Roch is the no. 1 pick, but at this point, it is hard to project him as being better than Colson Montgomery or Vargas or Meidroth at their respective positions. Once Roch has proven himself at a position of his choice and has had a minimum of 100 ABs at AAA, then he will get his chance at the major league level. After seeing so many other heralded Draft choices under perform or even fail, I am taking a wait and see approach on Roch. He might be another Bobby Witt Jr, or not.
