Tired old saw.

Would prefer Fulmer and Nova to Detwiler and Covey.

I foresee Keuchel and No va.

No need for this try someone new.

You can also go six man and skip one guy every time through. The guy skipped can be your emergency pitcher.

You have to block the boppers and hormonals for your own sanity. Off the record.

I would by no means push his pitch count just knowing that there can be setbacks. I know he is raring to go.

Nicky is our support system if someone goes out on maternity leave.

Avi Maria Garcia still among the top sprinters. I might have signed him to finish the OF. Will see what we end up with.

Back on the Uptown side of Charlotte. I suppose if you get a couple weeks in MLB it is a salary and ego boost.

Giving up on Collins would be bad PR. He deserves some PT.

Worth noting that Nova had a decent 2018 with Pgh and career 4.32 ERA better than some of the stiffs out there. Should have been signed for depth already.

Ryu had a good year but how many Asians have come here and done well. They prefer the West coast. Just my guess that Chicago is not his preferred GPS which leaves Keuchel.

Given his natural power there is no reason he cannot focus more on contact and still hit home runs. You may have a point with the lefties and I had only considered the pitching perspective. Guys like Nomar are not going to see relief specialists as often. Just a little Koolaid appetizer.

MLBN with a wow feature on Nomar. Had a good second half quieting his swing and compared his stats and approach with King Harold age 24. We may have the perfect mentor on hand for this lad.

Call me old school but a 24 yoa with a 100 RBI season is not yet a failure. If he wants to play he will listen and change his swing. Meanwhile they could sign Ozuna and an SP right now and move forward.

How about a dandelion Sox logo in mid CF.

Free agency with the big tunas is a krap shoot so I would not judge harshly. Overpaying can be disastrous and good business judgment is essential. If you want to be critical you might wonder if players and agents steer away from Chicago which would be a serious problem. Letting second tier pitchers sign elsewhere while we fiddle is also a valid issue. We could have signed guys like Roark eg but nothing has happened. I think this org struggles with defining the White Sox way. The Sox should emulate the skills of Tampa to become a lesser market version of the Mets without their tragicomic elements. Rick at least has some business acumen. My vision for this org with an older chairman would be to bring Mark Cuban in with vesting control under a plan of succession and financial input. There is also an excellent local candidate in Marcus Lemonis were he so inclined.

He will be held back for service time. Kopech is ready to rock.

Suggestion from Athletic that Mazara was not totally on board with coaching his approach to the game. We assume Menechino had some input? Avi might be a nice complement to Mazara if none of the big guns are brought in or is it bought in.

Would have to be negotiated with their cable or broadcast partner. Insemination es prohibido.

Red Sox plan to keep Bentendo. There are other suitors for Price.

By avoiding Chicago Steele has a shot at a quality MLB career. Mazcara gets a change of scenery which could help.

We could end up with two years to contend before our two studs get their money elsewhere. I think that dictates they do some deadline deals next summer. Yet think we used to own three of last year's top ss. We could really use a Rodon comeback but who knows.

Except we are possibly the worst market per capita in MLB along with a $120M TV deal. Jerry gave up on the fans a long time ago. Granted with their equity they could leverage almost any deal they wanted.
