Never going to have a fresher, stronger arm than this season, right? From everything I've ever read coming back from Tommy can add some mph and a ton of strength to the tendon. We will see. I just hope he finds a solid, manageable pitch speed that is still effective and sustainable. This rebuild is kind of dependent on him, cease and Gio being near elite.

Hahn is going to quickly lose all the monies for making the team better if he overcommits to every single prospect. I love Madrigal...but it just doesn't make sense to speed this through. 2020 is competitive window opening...not the WS year. 2021 is when it all comes together and the 2-4 year window is truly open.

That is way too late imo. Just lose the year if he is 100%.

I applaud him for apologizing. I do not approve though of the extra meatball attitude of clubhouse sanctity. Hopefully this is out of the way now and focus can be on his 2020 improvements.

I am eyeing the idea of a bigger penis...but reality will set in. Wil Myers as part of the return makes this a laughable idea.

I love the idea of zobrist. He brings a lot to the table and always have loved his attitude.

Boras will get 3 years for him...Rangers or Cardinals will bite.

This is a legacy move for Trout to put the Sox over the top for a 3-peat and secure his GOAT status.

agreed. With Engel's splits last year I am totally cool with that. Pence would strictly be for good hitting numbers and veteran Grit. Grindy.

Boras wouldn't accept. It would have to be more...for ego reasons alone.

Hunter Pence? He really played well last season before the injury.

They gave up a pick for a one year deal? This reeks of doin something after the egg from Donaldson. Poor work by AA that hurts the Sox as well

Really rooting for him. Another nice piece out of the pen would be important

A more enthused booth is always a better booth. Stone knows his stuff and is a great compliment to benetti. Lots of winning to watch for this duo, and it should be fun.

Extend him a high five for his first hit in mid April and relish in the fact the sox saved some money for the long haul.

Im going bold. Robert puts up a 3.5 WAR, wins rookie of the year, and has a playoff walkoff THIS season. I'd kiss Hahn today if I saw him.

Maybe the Twins marketing picked up on Win or Jermaine Dye Trying...

I know they will regress...but regression for them probably means 90-93 wins still. Are Sox prepared to win that many? At THIS point of the off-season I say not yet. I'd say 86-89 feels about right and MAYBE a chance at 90-92 if everything went perfect.

Twins will most likely win the division in 2020. So they can be cocky. But from 21-24, the White Sox should not only win the division but potentially be world series contenders. Let them have their opinions, but once the core is in place and we see progression (it's coming) then we can enjoy their futility

Glad for the repost. Really cleared up some of my concerns...

Is this the soxtalk equivalent of that Facebook gradient scroll post? I will ask though...what is Roberts 6th tool? Is dude packing more than light tower power?

I agree that Jimenez (if September is his future) should bat third...I just don't see RR doing it.

Robert is going to be a Soriano in his prime type of leadoff hitter...40 bombs a season ish (with juiced ball FOR SURE). Having him give the team the lead in 12-18 games a season is such a huge thing for a young pitching staff. With opposing starters wanting to establish their fastball...he is going to CRUSH some cookies. #2 spot is the one that is most interesting to me. TA, Yoan or Grandal all would be interesting, but I lean towards Yoan. Robert, Moncada, Abreu, Grandal, Eloy, Encarnacion is insane.

Entrapment Zeta Jones...that's one that will make the pants tight.
