Maybe a dumb question, but what exactly is the role of the hitting and pitching coordinators?

Sox may have interest in Maybin, per fake Cishek
chitown87 replied to soxfan49's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Couldn't agree more. Engel seems like a pretty ideal (realistic) 4th outfielder IMO -
Hahn is getting all the praise, Theo no longer "Sainted"

Housing costs are included in the basket of goods in the CPI which is reflected already in inflation. You'll get no argument from me on the absurdity of today's educational costs, though. -

Well, $11.55 isn't a living wage so I'm not sure how that makes your point more valid. -

Minimum wage was established at $0.25 in the FDR era, which is significantly lower when adjusted for inflation than today's federal minimum wage (which we all agree isn't a living wage). According to CNN, the highest the minimum wage has ever been when adjusted for inflation was less than $12, still not a living wage. https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2019/business/us-minimum-wage-by-year/index.html -

Not even close to being accurate. -
Keuchel to Sox, 3 years, 55.55 million; 4th year team option

That's my read on it as well. -

chitown87 replied to Heads22's topic in Pale Hose Talk
That's a better deal than we thought, right? No need to worry about manipulating innings if he underperforms or is borderline. Just buy him out of the final year for $1.5 mil -
Keuchel is official

Zack Wheeler: To the Phils (5yr 118); Sox had made BIGGER offer
chitown87 replied to Soxnfins's topic in Pale Hose Talk
GUYS MAYBE ZACH WHEELER HATES HUMIDITY AND WOULD RATHER DO SPRING TRAINING IN ARIZONA. 5/100 GETS THIS THING DONE FOR THAT REASON -

chitown87 replied to Soxnfins's topic in Pale Hose Talk
He isn't basing his decision on spring training. Where do people come up with this stuff? -
That's f'ing horrible.

Sox issue qualifying offer to Abreu
chitown87 replied to YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES!'s topic in Pale Hose Talk
Who is "people"? Not seeing anything on twitter. -
I could be wrong but didn't he play 3B in Cuba?

The Official Too Soon Mock Off Season Thread

Jesus. HARD pass on trading for Schwarber, and especially for Q. -

Completely agree on a lefty power bat. Just not sure how realistic that will be.

Robert Madrigal Moncada Martinez Jimenez Abreu RF Free Agent McCann/Collins Anderson Shew. Maybe switch Madrigal and Anderson? I'm not the best with lineup construction, but the makings are there for an absurd lineup.
-
Just like 2005 when our B team swept them and prevented them from potentially winning the wild card
-
So you're saying he's somewhat near those guys' level as a prospect? I kid, I kid. Thanks for starting this thread.
-
I've been firmly in the camp of keeping Robert down through next April to play the service time game, but I'm getting really damn impatient to see him and Madrigal in Chicago

GT: Tigers (27-52) @ White Sox (39-42), July 2
chitown87 replied to soxfan49's topic in 2019 Season in Review
Call me insane, but I still see some potential in Covey -
I'm fairly new at following the Sox minor league system. Can someone explain the difference in level between the DSL, AZL, and Great Falls? Is Great Falls a step below Kannapolis? DSL seems like its primarily really young kids from Latin America, so generally success there should be taken with a grain of salt?
