Yeah a little more character on the exterior would be cool. As is, it looks a bit like a convention center.

Right on. I’m very pro public transit/anti car in general, so I love the new idea. It’s perfect for me and I imagine many others. But to assume that public transit is a viable option for everyone is a little narrow minded. That said, there’s obviously no outcome that will be perfect for everyone. Looking forward to seeing how things shake out.

Great thread btw. There are no wrong answers and the possibilities are endless.

Eaton - Represents the failure to find a RF Leury - Represents the failure to find a 2B along with some other dumb stuff Kopech - Represents the flaming out of hyped prospects TLR - Yeah

We get it. You like the Fletcher trade.

I don’t love him, but don’t really mind him either. He’s not an accomplished writer like Margalus and Fegan are, so he’s not as measured in his thoughts, which is fine. I think that combination works well for the podcast.

Cool news

Nicky Lopez reaches third on a softly hit grounder because he plays the game the right way. Maldonado strikes out on a passed ball but waves Lopez home because he is a good veteran leader. Just one example.

A healthy dose of athleticism and veteran leadership

That sounds like a lot of uncertainties and assumptions to base a strong opinion on, but then again I'm probably in the minority in that I don't really get too into speculating.

If Benintendi is batting leadoff, with his lack power, dude's gonna have like 12 rbis on the season.

Has Baltimore’s offer for Cease been leaked somewhere or are people just assuming they know what the offer was based on the return for Burnes?

A potential injury isn’t the only risk. There’s also the risk of poor performance. We all think about his 2022 season and feel like he can get back to something closer to that, but the truth is nobody knows.

You’d rather get nothing in return than an underwhelming return?

I’d hesitate to call what the Sox have a surplus of starting pitching. What they have are a lot of bodies, and they need a lot of bodies because pretty much all of their starting pitchers are questionable.

Come on man. By that logic they should never make another international SP signing again.

The Colas have gone flat.

Huh. Huh?

This team needs more veteran leaders to show the other veteran leaders how to be better veteran leaders.

It sort of feels like year -1 of the rebuild, at least on the offensive side, considering the ages I added to CWS’s reasonable guess at the opening day lineup Average age 30.1 ?

Trying this out as the new marketing slogan. White Sox Baseball: It's so interesting to create a team identity of old guys with no offensive upside that rely on their reputations as good defenders

Love bat only guys that also don’t have a bat

No one has offered what the Sox want. What he is worth is completely subjective.

We all know this division sucks, but I think you’re vastly underestimating how wide the gap is between the Sox and the Twins.

Of course. I just think it’s rare to hear professional athletes acknowledge that they’re playing for their career.
