I don't think they created much value with Robert tbh.

Would also put the offseason grade to an unqualified A+ imo

But I would say still take his shit with a grain of salt because he isn't exactly beholden to anyone to vet his info

I think it's safe to say Cishek has ears

White Sox Victory Orifice Openness Index: Perpetuity

Those are the guys they want to get up to the plate and get out of the game sooner I would imagine.

I bet less than 30% of the current top 100 will be meaningfully better than David Eckstein.

You guys know lineups in ST aren't built to win games right?

Thanks for televising the game at 2PM on a Monday and not the one on Sunday afternoon. Bang up job guys

I do believe he actually has a source, but I imagine it's some low level guy that's easily wrong.

Puig and Mazara are similar enough that I’m glad they picked the guy who very much seems to be a good ass dude

What are the odds he is in 6 or 7 years? Pretty small. That’s all I’m getting at.

I wonder how much of these extensions are an effort to CBA proof themselves

Certainly not unwelcome but locking up a reliever for 7 years seems unnecessary?

They put money in the pocket of one of the most prolific mobsters in American history. That is 100% fact. The Astros won a handful of baseball games more than they should have.

It shouldn't be. One team helped fund a violent crime syndicate. The other didn't. End of story.

Realizing you'd have to tell a guy who just won the batting title and carried a .350+ OBP for an entire year he isn't capable of batting lead off is why trying to build lineups strictly on numbers is silly.

Yasmani Grandal has been intentionally walked 9 times in 3292 plate appearances.

Slow mo video of Cease that Fegan posted earlier looked an awful lot like he spent a lot of time with Gio

We're watching different Rockies teams. That first sentence applies WAY more to the White Sox

could be my end, but this is broken

Idk why, protecting late game leads has been the only thing they've been remotely good at.

Robert doesn't walk, but he'll walk more than Anderson. Not sure how you gathered that I think TA has better tools lol. Edit: I see how you could have read that now. When I said that's about it I meant Tim is the only person he'll have a higher walk rate than.

Robert is going to have a higher walk rate than Tim Anderson and that's probably about it.

Yeah, this isn't necessarily what I would do, but this is going to be what it is. I'd probably go EE Eloy Grandal Abreu But again, this is a lineup that sub-optimal lineups are going to have an incredibly marginal effect, at least on paper. If Encarnacion or Abreu or someone is total garbage this would change some.
