I really don't like when they play the interviews on the jumbotron. Most of the time, you can't understand, and you feel like a jerk talking over it, when, ...you paid s%*# tons of money to be there, and nobody expected a speech.

And they took on money. They weren't spending prospects. Different thing.

The team's in first place. Let me know how you would do better.

I have faith in my GM not acquiring players he doesn't need.

I've been assured that Brenton Doyle sucks. I can see why. I hate 3-run home runs!!

Boy, you sure love your teeny tiny sample sizes. Weird how 4.0 IP makes Mason Adams a viable playoff starter, but nobody gets to reference an entire season of stats from 2 years ago to argue that a pitcher has had major league success. Castillo and Urquidy also did well in one of their White Sox starts. A move works out or not over the long haul, not in one game.

Doyle is probably the best defensive CF on the team right now. It doesn't matter if they had someone who could stand out in CF for a game. It looks like they wanted to get an elite defensive backup. They didn't have that. Pereira nor Hays were that. And if you're referring to Pereira, he's played 37 of about 120 games. He wasn't an option.

I didn't notice a lot of waiver activity this year where it comes to guaranteed contracts. Maybe teams have prepared themselves, accordingly, where they're not wishing and hoping somebody claims a player to relieve them of a little payroll.

None of the stuff you complain about would have happened. Hays has nothing to do with Doyle, in that Hays is not an elite defensive CF. Doyle is. Hays is also regularly injured. I hope Mason Adams pitches his way into the HOF. The Rockies gave away Doyle for nothing.

Jo Adell's on a hot streak since getting to Cleveland. He put up a 93 OPS+ in Anaheim, which is below average. He's not a CF. The team wanted to replace Pereira, who was always injured, and is not a CF. There would have been no point in acquiring Jo Adell.

Then pick up the last option year and trade him next spring training.

They should have never traded for Brenton Doyle, because I hate two-run singles.

Doyle's played a fine CF. This wasn't a World Series Championship team heading into the TDL. There wasn't a series of trades that was going to make this an awesome, ass-kicking team heading into the playoffs that didn't deplete their minor league system. Seriously, people are pretending that Boston Smith, Mason Adams and some guy who's on a hot streak in the DSL gets us a HOF starter, another top starter, a SS better than Colson, 2 catchers, and f*** it, 5 bullpen arms. Like, you people can make up BS, why can't I?

JFC, they took a gamble on having a great defensive CF over an occasional masher against LHPs. Grichuk mashes LHPs. I'd guess they think they think they can make Doyle a better hitter then they can make Adell a better CF in the next 6 weeks.

I think Thorpe will help more than Adams, and Doyle will help more than Pereira. Adams doesn't play a good CF.

Right. Because I'm not an idiot. I'd be wondering what's going on. Thanks for bringing me back to the reality of normal person sports fannage.

I didn't say "he lost the plot". Fake news.

I guess they want to DFA Antonacci for Adell. Good luck with that.

And you agree with. LOL. I'm not raging at anything. It would have been insane to trade for Adell. Weird that you guys aren't fawning over Adell's equivalent from Urquidy or Castillo. I don't believe the Sox had the prospect capital to compete for a true "go for it" TDL. Their top 6 prospects would be gone for rentals, who weren't even difference makers. Seriously, you going to start Kevin Gausman in game one? I'd rather s%*# in my fist and squeeze it.

Believes what? If Getz traded for a shitty RF who might go on a run I'd be irate? People are screaming for stupid BS. "Why didn't the White Sox trade for an upgrade at 3B?!?!?" That would be stupid.

No, you wouldn't have rather have Adams, because he would have pitched his first game, threw 4 mediocre innings, then you would have whined about how he sucks. And the guys we traded wouldn't have even stoked a rumor on the level of "WE COULD HAVE HAD KEASCHALL!!!!" You're parlaying one interesting bat and a #5 starter into fucking Verlander in his prime. That wasn't out there. Seriously, show anything that scrapes the bottom of the fake news "KEASCHALL!!!" BS. Nothing was out there.

It's funny when people who assured us this was going to be a 100-loss team are now bitching about how high in the 80s this team will reach. LOL.

Getz chose. You're looking back on a three week sample (which you scoff at when we do it for Sox players doing well) and making a judgment. That's ridiculous. Good for them. Good for Adell. Adell isn't a CF.
