I called DeLoach a 4th OF. Your pointless lecture seems to imply that I said I want a whole team of Zach DeLoaches. Nobody here said the White Sox should never pursue stars, anymore, now that DeLoach passed through waivers.

When Luis Robert Jr. was still a prospect, it was said of him that as he bulked up, he would probably move to a corner. Of course the jury is still out on Zavala. He's an A-ball prospect, for heaven's sake.

What do the Bulls have to do with this? DeLoach, Julks or Fletcher won't be taking ABs away from anybody who deserves them in Chicago or Charlotte. Again, I really have no idea what you or WS23 are hyperventilating about. Are you actually saying that if DeLoach does put it all together, and actually earns a call-up from Charlotte, the White Sox should still release him because you and WS23 have declared him to be human garbage? That's some 4-dimensional s%*#-posting. LOL.

Yeah, even Keith Law didn't say he wasn't a CF in his scathing write-up. I believe that's said that about most CFs. It was said of Robert that he would move to a corner as he bulked up.

Who is saying that Zavala isn't a CF? Anything I can put my hands on says he still projects as a CF.

I really don't know what you're taking a victory lap over. It's really weird as f*** that you get angry when the rest of the world doesn't nurse hate boners for the same baseball players you do.

Oh, so they should just not put players out there until Braden Montgomery is ready? LOL. Okay. I'm not even sure what you're arguing.

DeLoach clearly looks like, if he pulled it all together, he'd be a 4th outfielder. And he's already in our system. You've yet to say why one shouldn't hope on DeLoach to be a 4th OF.

Why not? Am I supposed to hate him for some reason? He has played all 3 positions. He has hit for power and average, albeit, not at the same time. He's also a stolen base threat.

Yeah, and Ozzie got into a weird, political pissing match with well-known Chavenista, Magglio Ordonez.

No harm, no foul. I still like DeLoach as a 4th OF, or something.

MLBTR suggests that his $950k paycheck this year might help him pass through waivers unclaimed. I guess Wilson was always going to be a question mark with last year's back issues. If he clears, he's still got 3 options.

Moncada could pull off a dead cat bounce season, and parlay that into some 3/50 contract with somebody. I think TA's cooked, personally. He's AAAA depth, at this point.

We knew this last year. He came to camp with a new outlook of looking for the ball in a zone. After the injury, he got all screwed up and in his head.

I could certainly see a depth chart of: c - Lee/Thaiss 1b - Vaughn/Colas/Sosa/Vargas/Thaiss 2B - Sosa/Meidroth/Rojas/Baldwin/Vargas 3b - Vargas/Rojas/Sosa/Meidroth/Baldwin ss - Baldwin/Meidroth/Rojas lf - Benintendi/Colas/Rojas/Baldwin/Tauchman/Slater cf - Robert/Tauchman/Slater/Colas/Baldwin rf - Tauchman/Slater/Colas/Rojas/Baldwin dh - Colas - everyone else

Right. I thought they could have cobbled together a first baseman between Elko and Colas.

I thought TA signed a minor league deal.

Fielding wasn't his problem. Maybe Yoan needs a sponsor.

Lazy question, but does anybody know if Northwestern Baseball has anybody worth sitting in mid-March weather to see?

Mailbag episode. I think the most interesting parts are addressing the Sox' plan for SS if C. Monty doesn't work out there, and what pitching prospects are tradeable as the Sox face 40-man crunches from below.

Goal is for Thorpe to be at 2-3 innings by end of ST. He's excited for Cannon, Martin and Varland.

So, where are you sitting in full Padre regalia on the 18th? Bleachers or above the dugouts?
