Yes he would. If he delegated the scouting and compiling the pool of players he was going to target in trade, I could certainly see him getting confused. But I'm the "Getz can do no wrong" guy. What do I know?

If Colson gets 600 PAs, last year's pace would see him hit 44 HRs. I think the league will take him a little more seriously this time around.

I don't even remember what I voted. I "feel" 33 at this moment. 41 for Mune.

I grew up in a deli, I love that stuff. I still get the 2 hot dog deals at Patio Beef and Wolfy's on Peterson, but yeah, healthy choices when I can.

My guess is they have the scouting director assemble a list of guys they wanted, Acuña was on that list for reasons, Getz conducted the trade and got confused. I would hope they didn't game plan Acuña being part of some clever platoon plan. If LuisAngel can eclipse Robert's 84 OPS+, they can call him an Olympic Female Weightlifter, for all I care.

I'm sure you're not into this, but Jewel carries Field Roast brand faux dogs and sausage. I do those when I don't want to take 15 minutes off the end of my life by eating a hot dog. Same taste and texture.

It's weird how people who regularly castigate the Sox for their record-setting 2024 losses can't understand why bad teams add veterans at the edges to avoid catastrophe.

No White Sox, knock wood:

Just look up Leaders > 2025, and sort for shortstops. There's a defense column. I set the cutoff at 200 PAs. I seem to remember you saying Fairbanks was going to get up to mid $40M.
