And seriously, what, honest-to-God, has me rolling on the sidewalk, gasping for breath I'm laughing so hard, is that you probably spent around $44,000 over 22 years on something that makes you so miserable. Just on tickets, mind you. And then drop $20 a game on a beer and a hot dog, that's another $36,600. Eighty Thousand dollars you crawled over and stuck between Jerry Reinsdorf's toes after you lovingly kissed each and every one of them, and you have the balls to pretend to be laughing at me for rooting for Zach DeLoach to pull it all together and one day be a 4th OF? Yes, everyone who criticizes me for thinking I'm smarter than everyone, I'm smarter than this guy.

I really can't fathom the deep desperation for validation from strangers you guys live in your daily rants about how everybody else should think about their baseball team. I get lectured for thinking I'm smarter than everyone, but really, how smart does a person have to be to understand you guys are literally making things up to criticize me over? This is the quote you guys are pretending is somebody "in love", "excited", or projecting him as a star:

Love? I think the funniest part is that you guys have to pretend people who don't agree with you are "in love" and "lick boots" when they won't join your misery coven. I'm a Sox fan. I would like to see a trade work out. I seem to remember you having a protracted man-crush on Pedro Grifol. Are you at the "eat a gallon of ice cream when another team hires him" phase, yet?

I agree. He should grow up. I haven't found any prospect write-up that says he's not a CF.

Nobody is saying to move Robert into a corner, now. I clearly stated that when Robert was a prospect, people who wrote about prospects said that about him. Is there another poster with the same name you're having a different conversation with? You seem so desperate to s%*#-post on Zavala, you're making up things to argue with. I agree with you that the jury's still out on Zavala. Mostly because he's a 19-year-old in A-ball, and the jury's still out on every 19-year-old in A-ball or lower. Maybe the White Sox should trade or cut Zavala, then Zavala will rise to the level of top prospect for you and WS23, and you'll start arguing that surely he was the team's answer in CF for the next decade. LOL.

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.
