Look at Ray Ray Run

Salaries do not scale down on the war scale as fangraphs universally evaluates in real life. 2 WAR players are not paid 15-18 million a year. The leury love is absolutely baffling

In the past four years he's been worth 3fWAR over 1326 PA's. Good for 1.35 fWAR/600. Not the worst player in baseball, but certainly not someone who is solid or a good person to have on a ball club; especially not when considering they paid him 10 million over that period of time. Can easily find that production for much cheaper. Danny Mendick, who sucks by most accounts, has been slightly more valuable since his MLB debut per 600. .8fWAR over 328 PA's or 1.46/600. Leury stinks.

damn, i always miss the fun stuff!

LOL Cesar Hernandez has 15.3 fWAR in 4000 career PA's. Leury Has 2.4 fWAR in 2000 career PA's. One of those is pathetic and it ain't Cesar.

he has a 2.4 fWAR in 581 career games and 2000 AB's. He's not "such an asset" and he's not solid. His career wRC+ is 78. He's made a couple nice plays at SS, congrats.

This team didn't need power, it needed people to get on base. They hit a ton of home runs but they stopped working counts. Sheets being sent down was the right move and he's come back refreshed and out of his funk.

Guys I think stiever might be out for the season

What a jump

Please

Tim catches that and tags out the runner. Unreal

Offensively it's next to impossible he'll ever be as great as frank. Overall he's got a gamblers chance but it comes down to how long he can sustain his skills.

Agree with 99% here but cease is not tall by any means for a pitcher

Happy to hear you're willing to give the 15th ranked starter in baseball a shot in the postseason now.

Crochet was fine

Oh no, now the sox can't use 7 era kimbrel in a close game!

Oh my, more kimbrel apologists after he gives up more runs. Is it ever Craig's fault when he gets lit up?

It didn't go over my head! Amazing what Yaz has done offensively this year given that he played most of the year on one leg

Lol

Yaz a 145 wRC+. Second to robert on the team

Imagine thinking grandal wasn't a huge loss

Yaz comes back and the lineup finds its patience.

Isn't Tatis an OF'er now? Should be asking this question about our RF'er.

No catcher is an everyday player. Before this year started, no catcher played more games than Grandal between 2018-2020. So I guess no catcher is good or an everyday player. And no, I'm laughing at you comparing Grandal and Zavala at any level; using W/L record for an individual player in baseball is about as pointless as it gets. Grandal has been the toughest guy to replace on the roster. Anderson hasn't been hurt for an extended period of time, and outside of you making up a Moncada injury he also has not been hurt or out of the lineup for an extended period of time. Among Robert, Eloy and Madrigal, Grandal has been the hardest person for this team to replace and it has impacted them both defensively and offensively. Your obsession with trying to convince the world that Grandal is bad is odd, and even more odd given what we've had to watch at the position the last 6 weeks. Oh, and McCann is awful. He was benched in NY because he was poor defensively and offensively. You still stanning for him over Grandal is another joke.

The White Sox were 4th in baseball in runs when Grandal went down. They're now 10th in runs in the past 30 days and you somehow cite that to glorify his absence. You can't make this shit up. Edit: Oh, and in the last thirty days they have gotten Eloy and Robert back; they were 4th in runs without those guys, because the lineup was patient (led by Yaz) and worked pitchers and counts.
