28, poor k rate, poor BB rate,poor HR rate, but other than that, he's pretty good.

You know you suck when one of the most valuable things about you is you can be sent down.

I’ve never seen first basemen written out like that and it nearly broke my brain.

Give Ishbia the team already you cheap asshole.

You know the #1 overall pick got us re-energized because the thread about claiming Ryan Rolison has the HOT! alert

Yeah, if no other trend continues, taking high end arm talent and super athletic SS's at the top of the draft should be it.

Well, that’s the bin they will be shopping in.

Bring Boone Loogan back.

The numbers don't lie!

It's cold outside but Getz is

Love that the org wouldnt trade him out of respect for his family issues, but they'll release him to nickle and dime him out of a few dollars.

Nothing about Shane Smith is a bad thing for the White Sox. It was great scouting and they got lucky. Nobody knew he’d show up with a nasty changeup and increased velocity. Brewers would’ve protected that guy for sure.

If all of these guys do miraculously make it, there are plenty of OF spots up for grabs too. A guy like Carlson could translate to CF, Monty to a corner, and Bonny is already being mentioned as a future LF.

Not to defend Jerry as he sucks major you know what, but has anyone read the actual article and able to summarize what is fact vs. speculation? All I’m able to see is Heyman stating Jerry may be unwilling to give Steve Cohen money, not that he won’t and not that he won’t give money to teams in general. If you recall, Jerry hates the ever living f*** out of Steve Cohen. This may just be some billionaire beef as last offseason it sounded like the Sox were willing to eat some money in discussions with the Reds. Obviously I have no idea what is true here, but find it hard to believe that Getz picks up the $20M option if he didn’t have the authority to eat some it in most cases.

supposedly sox are willing to include money in trade with Robert. Behind a pay wallet but others read it

I get it. I was just informing @DoUEvenShift, but he already knows. @DoUEvenPostBogusSoxRumors 🤣

Alberto > Skubal ?

As long as he doesn't end up at the center of a gambling scandal like the last 100 mph cutter guy I can think of.

I guess I’m the only one on this board who believes in accountability.

Oh you mean like the thought police who wanted our thoughts to be embarassed because Smith was our best SP ?

I don't think they have to kill em...

Better than trading another good pitching prospect to the Red Sox for a bum lefty.

Bring back those cardboard cutouts of fans from the Covid season!

We've gone from dumpster driving to digging in the pre donate crates at the Goodwill.

I wouldn't be surprised if Tauchman is back at a figure lower than his arb number.

Amen.

Not this year they don’t.

All this makes sense. My point was it’s exciting that one of these kids cracked a top 100 list when still in the low minors despite limited velocity. That doesn’t happen very often, which goes to show how special this control / command and suggests his secondaries are much better than some sites are suggesting.

I guess I don’t get why it’s interesting. If you take a guy who can play a competent SS or plus 3B and you put them at 1B, you are not optimizing their value. At that point, you either trade them or someone else to ensure they are in the right spot on the field. Now, if Colson needs to move to 1B due to health issues (back) that’s a different story, but I’d call that unfortunate moreso than interesting.

You have to figure a prospect who's value is derived almost exclusively based on his command is going to have a very fragile grip on their prospect ranking. You're almost always looking for an excuse to downgrade because they don't have the luxury of having a bad season (or missing it due to injury) and their rankings are based entirely on the performance.

I actually have an answer for that. ts and ys don't work on my personal laptop, so I have to copy and paste. I can' decide on which laptop to buy.

Let's repeat. The NYPost political/opinion conservative bent has nothing at all to do with their sports reporting...which is 100 times more informative and comprehensive than the Trib or Sun-Times now. Each day there are at least three separate original stories on issues of sporting interest, both NY ones and nationally-focused.

I do feel to some degree they're doing him a disservice by not letting him focus on a single position. If you let him play 100 games in center he might actually prove he can be defensively valuable. He's probably the fastest guy on the team and his athleticism is vastly underrated.

I don't doubt the stuff. I've seen video, looked at numbers. I believe in the stuff. But dudes who manage to throw strikes for a few months for the first time in their career while at high A ball don't leave him with feeling like this works out. I would have taken every dude with a big time fastball in the R5 draft. Take 5 of them, if even one works out it's a huge win.

Rangers having a busy night.

It's embarrassing just to have to spend this much time discussing V.Capra in the first place...

My Clemente rookie card might just be worth slightly more...or 1968 Ryan. Although 2-3 years ago I atempted to corner the market on ONeil Cruz rookie cards, to no avail.

Thank you. A well thought out response. If Getz hits on Paez and/or Alberto, he is the Rule 5 master of pitching. Now he needs to find someone just as good for the position player side, cuz he and Barfield ain’t it.

A rebuilding team with a GM who has been with the team for several years and was previously in a role of Director of Player Development should have some talent that was ready for the majors by the time he was named full GM. But instead, Chris wound up making bad trades for outfielders like Fletcher and DeLoach which wasted about two years of improving our outfield. Also, I’ll pass on studying and learning from a poster who thinks that the White Sox “developed” 0.0 bWAR Seby Zavala and flaunts it as if it some sort of achievement.

Check the number of scrubs the Sox have rostered in the Getz era versus these other teams you mention. It isn’t even close. You are making false comparisons.

1) The assembled playoff core fell apart, all at once. They had better pitchers. They traded them. That's what teams do in a rebuild. 2) Why was Shane Smith the best pitcher? Why is anybody the best pitcher? Somebody has to be the best pitcher. If it turned out to be Wikelman Gonzalez, then we could joke that the Sox had to get their best pitcher from elsewhere. If it was Davis Martin, then we could joke that the best pitcher was a 14th rounder coming back from injury. If it was Cannon, then the joke would be that a #5 junk-baller was their best pitcher. 3) I get the point people were making. Our best pitcher was left off another team's 40-man. That's great that you find that sad. I don't get the points you're trying to make. Why don't I get to say Crochet? He was on this team. They traded him. Cease was on the team. They traded him. They had 3 starting pitchers pretty much ready to go. Martin, Burke and Cannon. Smith was better. So what? Why do I have to be embarrassed or saddened by that? 4) I also don't get your obsession with reminding me that Hahn was the GM when Crochet was drafted. So what? 5) Are you also implying that the Sox should have had an entire top prospect team ready to go in 2024 when the old core fell apart? That's not how rebuilds work. 6) But really, the funniest part of all of this is RayRay saying that Vinny Capra was better than Shane Smith because Capra was on the 40-man, and Smith wasn't, and by extension, because Smith made the All-Star team, Vinny Capra was the best player on the White Sox in 2025. That's the messed up part.

Worlds tiniest violin begins playing

What impresses me is that in 170 pro innings, Alberto has given up 2 home runs. TWO. Skubal gave up 18 in like 200 innings last year. Diaz gave up 4 in 66 innings.

Not in favor of policing anyone's thoughts, but some of you could sure use a helping hand based on some of the posts here.

Yes, I mean like reframing an completely different argument that was made into something that was never actually presented and then repeating as if it was fact, good job.

At least he was bad in the minor leagues too, so he's consistent! Getz saw a first round pick available and just couldn't help himself!

that is also part of scouting and they are bad at that

If the player goes through waivers unclaimed and the original team declines, they come off the 40-man. If the original team takes them back, they come off the 40-man.

You might as well have declined the option then.
