Guh, so much for that improved defense nonsense. I know it's spring but not pretty.

That was a nice AB from Elko

Hey! He almost hit his age in pitches.

That gun was fired inside the ballpark. The offender/teacher story is close to correct. Believe it or don't.

He's gotta be trolling us at this point. There's no way he's this stupid.

Yup. And mine are they age I was when I started going. So I've been pissed I haven't been able to share that with them. That being said, I too would gladly speak my mind....as eloquently as possible.

Usually "things that make sense" and "what Jerry wants" are in different columns.

I would think the less Brandon Johnson is involved the better.

Go sign Michael Taylor if you're not trading Cease. I feel like this should be an easy one.

I think re-visiting clevinger would be a decent idea.

I forgot him. Lot of forgettable names.

Cease, Soroka, Fedde, Kopech, (Shuster, Nastrini, Eder, etc)

This was my favorite sentence in that whole conversation.

This.....and if there's no hope in July sell it all off. But middling through, which they do best, is lose lose.

I feel like the Dodgers are gonna swoop in out of nowhere and grab him.

Cease, Soroka, Fedde, Kopech, (Flexen, Nastrini, Shuster).

Check back every 5 pages. I find it's essentially the same conversation again.

I hate that I'm White Sox fan.

Former Royal who had a terrible 2023. Yay!

Makes sense. My thought is when Korey came up last year he wasn't exactly setting the world on fire in aaa. Momentum and confidence is important for young ballplayers. Perhaps you let him start at aaa and if he runs into a hot streak you give him another chance. People wanted depth, this is depth. Old depth sure better to have some options. 4 million and league minimum for 3 catchers seems fine to me.

Yikes, then release him. Nobody should be losing sleep over Korey Lee being blocked, or losing mlb at bats. Breathe.

Determination? No. But clear as day the kid is not ready and I think throwing him in the fire will only further erode his confidence. Give him abs in the minors and allow him to be around a few seasoned vets in spring training.

Right, which is why, as mentioned, of the players Getz has brought in they all seem to be decent dudes, with good work ethic and desire. Maldo is just one. I'm not saying this is all ideal but I get what he's trying to do and I'm at least curious. I'd be more sold with a new manager, but that may come by June.

I don't think Lee is capable of .150 let alone .190. Everyone here has been complaining about the culture of this team and by all appearances, Maldonado and several other new additions will be great changing the culture moving forward. There seems to be very specific attention being paid to the character and preparation of these incoming players and I'm interested to see how it goes. Look at Maldonado as a player/coach.

Chicago is an improv powerhouse. A lot of young, comedic actors come from here. Good odds that it was a cast members jersey laying around backstage and she just grabbed it and threw it on. Cool nonetheless. I like her. Snl not so much.
