Look at Ray Ray Run

Smart grab by the Cubs here. Peterson been pretty unlucky this year.

Walbert Urena would cost a lot more than Jacob Gonzalez.

Senga is washed. I was pretty high on him coming into the year.

I've already said I wouldn't take much away from the negative responses or the poll at all, and given the youth of the team I'm skeptical any White Sox even participated in the study.

I'm going to guess the Sox have changed very little about accommodations being provided to players. Maybe there is a better video room or something, but doubt they're leading the league in post-game spreads, or that they're chartering family of players around during times of need and etc. They're certainly not paying players well as they rely mostly on guys who aren't eligible to be paid yet. Reminder again that this is a job. There's plenty to be critical of, but 100+ is like 13% of the league which is certainly substantial enough for any study. It doesn't mean the study is true or 100% accurate, but it's certainly not a small sample issue.

I don't know. One, this poll was conducted at the beginning of February. Additionally, with 100 players interviewed there might have been 3 White Sox players, and given the youth of the team I'm guessing it could have been even less. For all we know, they asked Benetendi or a vet, who has enjoyed his time here but doesn't think it's the best experience in the sport. Because it's obviously not. Meanwhile, outsiders are looking at an org spending at historically low levels while being projected to have another terrible season. Makes sense they'd get a few shout outs for misery. The Sox could become an elite developmental org and they could still finish at the bottom with penny pinching ownership. Do i think the sox are having a "great year" as some here are saying? Obviously not, they have a -2 run differential. Do i think theyre having a lot of fun and watching them has been much more fun than i ever expected? 10000%.

How do you infer that the current players didn't have nice things to say based on this article alone?

I think, for the most part, fans overrate the developmental piece of an organization and underrate the personal and family support piece. These are jobs. Teams who offer great perks with food, famil and personal accommodations and travel while also investing in winning will always come out on top. You can't make a "career" with the White Sox without sacrificing pay and other things. Rays win and provide amazing development opportunities but they cheap out on accommodation and salary so they're always here.

Lately?

Kenny loftin had a career 372 OBP John, and he had multiple years over 400. That's why he led off.

I need to see a lot more at bats against lefties before I say Sam can't hit them. He didnt look over matched vs skubal.

Yes, I'm aware.

Welcome aboard, it's as fun as it gets on this wagon! I'm convinced this is the worst we'll ever see from him too. Never stops getting better.

When was Manny Machado an elite Shortstop who was moved? He didn't play a single game at shortstop in the big leagues until 2015.

So put him at third base. Why is this so hard for you to understand? Colson had never played third in his life prior to the Veneable. Ask him, he'll tell you. Acuna is a utility player who has moved all around. This isn't complicated at all. Acuna should play third.

I've posted tons of supporting evidence. Sorry that you've been watching baseball for 100 years and you still don't understand that shortstop is more valuable than third and you want to play the best defender there. Maybe you'll figure it out one day. We're all rooting for you! Colson is the best player on the team. He's also the best defensive player on the team. No one else in baseball history has taken an elite defensive shortstop and moved him around the diamond. No one. In the history of the game. Colson has earned his right to stick at his position. He's having one of the greatest starts to a career in MLB history.

When Sam got to the plate, it was over.

Carry the team, Sam.

Acuna bad for his entire career but for two weeks. "This guy is turning a corner and Ozzie Smith like on defense." Taylor dominant most of the year but bad for three games; "this guy is terrible and a bum!!"

Hater!

Acuna was a "capable" shortstop but a plus second baseman. Thanks for reading. Make sure to hit that like and follow button!

You make good points on openers greatly skewing here, but a 5.32 ERA is ridiculous. There are only 3 qualified starters in the MLB with a higher ERA. Competition doesn't mean your staff should be pitching in the bottom 3% of baseball combined.

What says Acuna is a very good shortstop? I asked yesterday but I must have missed your answer in my quest for WE validation. I find it hilarious that you talk about how you want the Sox to win so much but then root for them to lose because Acuna is at short. I want them to do what gives them the best chance to win. Because I want to win. I'm a TRUE FAN. Trademarked.

Lose a game because of something inexplicably dumb, and double down the next time out. Sure love to see that from your manager!

I've been saying since the year started that playing Montgomery at 3rd and someone else at Short would cost the team and was not optimal. Fast forward to a situation where that exact thing happens and you put your head in the sand and claim there was nothing that could be done and everyone is wrong. Weird stuff!!! Edit: And while I have some great bits, this isn't a bit. Colson should play short every day he plays like all other elite Shortstops in baseball history have done.
