Just going to throw this out there....could you imagine Timmy's bat flip if he hits a walkoff?

36 year old Ervin Santana, coming off of an ERA of 8.03 with a FIP of 7.94 will wind up being paid around $1,370,000 per start by the White Sox. Can't spend $1 if you only have $0.50.

I actually enjoy Jerry having his money lit on fire at this point. It's not like he's going to spend it on legit upgrades anyways so fuck it...burn it all.

Thank god. At least the Sox haven't been shy about DFA'ing guys this year.

You quite honestly waited for his one bad game to say this nonsense, huh? Had it all saved in your phone and you took the opportunity? You sound incredibly stupid. Before today he had 2+ hits in all but like 3 games including a 1.400 OPS but hey he's 0-3 today so Adam Engel should continue to get playing time

Unlike some here I have no problem with this. Gordon Beckham didn't fail because he was rushed. He wasnt good enough. If you're good enough you'll adjust and survive. Baseball is learning this as well.

Cheap on great players, spend like a drunken gambler on the crappy ones.

Nice. Insert gif of shoveling cash into fireplace.

Can someone with twitter tweet that bat flip to Grichuk and ask if that is ok?

Hell of a play by Timmy to score from 1st on that single.

Rushing prospects is now good? White Sox are going to White Sox. Go back to the old way that produced some nice busts. PLEASE SELL THE TEAM JR SO SOMEONE WHO CAN WILL HAVE THE URGENCY TO BRING IN DIFFERENT PEOPLE TO MAKE BASEBALL DECISIONS.

I mean, rolling the dice on Santana wasn't an awful idea. We needed pitching depth. He was hurt most of last year. He pretty good in 16 and 17. Its the fact that they paid him $4.1M. If it was $1M or $1.5M, so what. I mean its not my money. But when you add it up the sum of the $4M here, $8M here, $3M here, and $9M here for a bunch of garbage, its just so head scratching.

You've made some great calls on this site in the past (draft, in game, etc). This is one of your best my friend.

In all seriousness, do the Tigers drill Tim tomorrow?

Hell yeah!!!

I like Timmy's long con of intentionally getting Abreu out so that he could walk it off and bat flip it it.

You better believe all the new TA fans will be pimping this and they will see it. Hahahah

Anderson is quickly becoming one of my favorite players in awhile!

MANderson Gone flippin dat bat gone flippin dat bat

Well done sir.

I assume Timmy was waiting to see if it was caught.

How are you guys blaming Tim? He was tagging up, but the ball was so high. That’s not his fault.

I have a dog. She's great. Robert shouldn't be promoted yet. It should wait until around the draft. Paul Sullivan keeps writing that he should skip AA and go to AAA, which is an asinine recipe for failure. But his first bad game all season, coming back from a hand contusion, you have to come into the thread swinging because holy shit a baseball player had a subpar game. Not with the logjam, but yeah, it's context for why he'll probably be pushing a promotion come June.

I also hate fans trying to find something to enjoy in this dumpster fire of a season.

Eloy also has a 658 OPS. He has been terrible all around so far.

My bad.

Because it is 0-2 and pitchers usually waste at least one pitch. You're baseball stupid if you don't understand that. Just b****ing for the sake of b****ing

witt witt witt.

I don’t think the failure to sign Machado was the team being cheap. The Boss was probably more concerned with the length of the contract and being on the hook for guaranteed big bucks

I think people are realizing it's just one collective unit of suck.

I just can’t believe teams were lining up for a questionable Ervin Santana and willing to pay that much. I mean Wade Miley only got a $4.5M guarantee with up to $500k in incentives. Drew Pomeranz got $1.5M guaranteed with up to $3.5M in incentives. How in the world did Santana get $4.1M? Almost seems like a favor to his agent.

Hey, at least we didn't give up Luis Robert to get him.

As long as it doesn't affect our Value Sundays. What a fucked up franchise this is.

But not the ability to limit runs and get outs.

I wasn't considering value at all, since winning isn't really a thing that matters this year. None of the offseason signings will add anything to the team when it matters. At best they are all zero value. I was looking at just plain dollars. Honestly, I thought it was less than the 4.1, I was thinking he was like 1.5, maybe I switched the numbers in my head. Either way you are right. Waste of money. Terrible signing. Trend more than exception.

Good move but dear god what a waste of money. Stay hot Hahn

Just added to the tab. Him, Alonso and Jay, you are halfway to one of the years they couldn't afford Machado, and that is before investment.

Try him in the rotation in place of Nova.

That starting rotation plus Madrigal & Robert and you have a team worth watching.

Makes you think about that stuff differently.

I would love to see him use a big barrel Nellie Fox type bat and choke-up. A little more bat control and a lot more contact. Can't hurt to try.

Colome for Quintana.
