Look at Ray Ray Run

I hear you and the general argument, but I'd have taken the guy the niners did. They need line depth and health.

Not sure what you're reading but on about 10 analysis i read, even the ones that liked Loveland more, have the blocking edge to warren.

Name me another team who has invested this heavily in the tight end position. La Porta caught 60 balls for 700 yards as the only viable tight end for Johnson just last year. Now the bears have two tight ends. The production and value your going to get out of Loveland is so low. The bears have a nice receiving core, they need line help and depth. Poles is a disaster. Also, Warren is arguably a better blocker which makes this even worse. And my guy, thr second tight end in Detroit last year had 17 combined targets. This idea that you need two tight ends in Johnson system is bs. Running 12 doesn't mean you need to invest big money and resources in two tight ends. Detroit offense was pretty good with Brock Wright as te2.

For me, its just bad team building. You've already invested in tight end and this was a luxury pick you make if your roster is built and stacked.

I keep seeing this cited, but LaPorta is just another example as to why you shouldn't invest tier 1 picks on TE's. Sam was the 34th pick in the draft. Paying a premium for a TE when you're already paying a tight end is wild

Vargas got a beer belly? Sheesh!

That's OK. If he could actually be a 4, that's valuable. Pivetta just signed for 4 years 55 million. Problem is I don't think he's even a 5.

Hagen smith can't throw strikes. I'm pretty worried about that guy. Schultz will be a dude though. Grant taylor >>>hagen imo

I never really liked Martin and his stuff has taken a step back from last year. He might be a decent swing man but I don't think he establishes himself as a bonafide starter.

Barring injury, zero doubt in my mind smith is a legit mlb starter. A #3 possibly! My concern is I think they needed to find 2 starters out of this group and I think I'm out on the rest- even burke who I liked a bit to start the year. Without drastic changes to that fastball command he's done.

Still generating huge bat speed, but not sure how long it's in the zone for.

Hahn actually understood how to acquire top talent. His problem is he had no idea how to fill in the middle and/or develop depth. Crazy to think the Sox could have Crochet, Sale, Cease, rodon and Chris bassitt in their rotation today if they simply spent money on their guys and developed position players.

Caught looking the at bat before. He's in-between in a new way. He's unsure if he should attack or wait. Not good.

What's funny is I've actually met and hung out with Getz on multiple occasions. He's an entertaining fun guy. In no way do I hate him personally. I hate him as the GM of a baseball team because he simply isn't qualified for the job. Nothing more to it.

Flo Rida? Sox bringing artists who were last relevant when they were

My guy Sosa Play everyday. Watch him learn.

Really aggressive players will take some terrible swings. It's the non competitive abs that he needed to eliminate. The Sox have really ruined an incredibly talented player. He's the poster boy of the poor talent development of position players within this org.

Always can depend on WestEddy to justify, in some way, the decisions made. Palacios shouldn't even be in the big leagues, but he's leading off. lol And to clarify, Robert has been terrible but at least his xWOBA is in the 41st percentile - guy should stop worrying about increasing his walks IMO - while Palacios is hitting and performing at his expected line.

Dalbec at SS is hilarious. I love this team - I mean, i don't watch but I love looking at the absurdity of it all every day. The idea that they're starting Dalbec to get a bit more offensive production since the offense has been so bad is hilarious.... since the end of the 2021 season, he has an OPS under 600 lol

Shane Smith pitching well enough to get himself traded. The white sox way.

Well if this doesn't fit in nicely to the thread: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/by-meidroth-i-care-not-a-man-can-swing-but-once/ I'm beginning to worry the Sox believe this is a market gap... it's not.

Yes, it's time in seat that's the problem.... not record-setting ineptitude.

I actually like this at 100/120-1.

It's why I always am a bit confused when people ask to name players the PD director should have been more successful with....

Crazy how much he reminds me of Pedroia
