Then direct it at me by responding to something I wrote with a response that acknowledges it. You're so passive-aggressive, it's exhausting to even try to be civil to you.

SouthSideSox recap: (3) The White Sox show fight, fall 7-6 to undefeated Dodgers | South Side Sox Soxon35th Dodgers 7, White Sox 6: Hot bats not enough to take down World Series champs | Sox On 35th LaMond Pope's Trib notes: Chicago White Sox: Starter Davis Martin 'commands respect'

He was injured and played less than half of last season, I believe.

Loser, Loser, Chicken Abuser.

Even though Tyson Miller had to eventually come back down to Earth, that doesn't necessarily mean the balls hit off of him do.

That Cristian Mena trade looking even worse for the D-backs. I wonder if anyone gets fired over this travesty... Diamondbacks Notes: Kelly, Pfaadt, Mena - MLB Trade Rumors

The Charlotte Knights and Birmingham Barons are going to be formidable teams.

Lawn seats look like $40 each. $58-$60 for 3rd baseline - they're not really calling them grandstand or box seats. $83 for field level.

What are you even responding to? Do you plan on even acknowledging anything I've responded to in good faith, or will you keep ignoring and flitting off to another leading question with no context?

2) Murakami should be better than Vaughn. C. Monty for a full year. Less Sosa/Benintendi. Pereira/Acuña are good defensive OFs. Growth from Meidroth, Vargas, Teel, Quero. brotherhood So teams that finish under .500 never become close or learn how to play together? I'm not sure who you're responding to, here, but predicting 75-78 wins isn't "competitive".

Sox on 35th with the recap: Reds 3, White Sox 2: Colson Montgomery Goes Yard, Bats Stay Quiet | Sox On 35th SouthSideSox game wrap: Jonathan Cannon fires, and Colson Montgomery blasts off in a 3-2 loss to the Reds | South Side Sox DVS post-game notes in the SunTimes: For White Sox, strong start in spring training has its merits - Chicago Sun-Times - 4-2 record nice change of pace from last 3 years of losing - Iguchi happy Murakami w/Sox - Venable likes Acuña in CF - game cap - next up: Dodgers, Sean Newcomb vs. Tyler Glasnow

1) 54 in the prediction thread, and 60 in the bold predictions thread. We both picked the 53-56 slot in the poll I'm linking. 2) Who cares who will be on the team in 2028? That's you trying to obscure the subject. I've laid out my thinking on why I think this is around a 75 win team many times. It is optimistic. But again, it's certainly well within a reasonable spread of possible, expected outcomes. 3) Any talk about any future event or outcome is presumptuous. You calling something presumptuous is itself, presumptuous.

I have no idea what you're talking about except to take a whack at a guess of 75+ wins, which is certainly with the realm of possibility. You say yourself that Braden Montgomery isn't ready. So without Acuña, Baldwin and Pereira, who plays the other 2 OF positions? Peters? Dru Baker? They're also "place-holders" until guys like Bonemer, Antonacci and B. Montgomery push them out.

For taking on money, they got to trade a ho-hum arm for somebody with stuff to dream on, Hicks, who had a couple nice seasons in him, and we don't even know the PTBNL pieces yet.

Well, the trade's not complete. If they put Paez through waivers and he's one of the PTBNLs, that's a nice bit of restocking of the mid-levels just for taking on money. And if Hicks is any bit of his former self, it's a win. I see Cannon with a ceiling of place-holder. He's probably got a 3 WAR season in him somewhere down the line. He's just going to be swamped by better pitchers, soon.
