South Side Hit Men

Guess Escobar's flight was delayed.

That would be disrespectful to Yermin.

Seven of eight. Thank God they squeaked out a win in Pittsburgh that one time.

Pretty sure the random Boston guy would be an upgrade over several White Sox on the current roster.

I'd trade Tony La Russa for Hector Santiago right now, worth the 10 day hit to the roster long term.

This post aged well.

I'd pinch hit Cease for Yermin here.

No aluminum bats here. Pac 10 baseball, clap, clap, clap clap clap

Can see Jose insisting to Tony he will play first base in Game 2 today.

Great, Abreu goes down again.

Jason should stick to basketball. https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-1995-10-07-1995280095-story.html

The Sox will really be hamstrung by Keuchel's albatross deal if he vests next season for 2023.

Yermin comes through! Hector has been out of baseball for over a year, time to take advantage.

Pretty sure most of the world knew this going in. Well, except for Rick Hahn, who never saw an old declining FA he didn't like.

Well, there is that, and then the fact the man looks nothing like Eduardo Escobar. Like I said, as reliable as a Nightengale tweet, unless he is stating Jerry is doing crazy ass shit like hiring Tony La Russa.

Meant for the game thread. Tim with a nice play to get out of it, thank you Mariners for making outs on purpose. In terms of this thread, here is a tweet as reliable as Bob Nightengale's typical tweets.

Hopefully this EE will fare better than the last EE Hahn brought in last year. Bob’s tweets have me watching clips of The Departed.

Not sure how can you say that I'm "severely overvaluing Crochet". I didn't specify any trades, other than a reference to general garbage names thrown out over time. He needs to be given a chance to stretch out and work on a 3 pitch repertoire. People are making a judgement base don a short sample out of the bullpen. Crochet needs to attempt to be a starter before anyone can make a judgement on his future. Selling Crochet cheap because our GM pissed away his money on duds like Eaton and Parrot, and overpays the previous season is a poor use of top draft capital.

It's a lot easier to grab talent at the corner OFers than a top 3B. He's a perfect 2 hole hitter or even leadoff. Sees a lot of pitches, gets on base a lot, has good gap power, wouldn't write him off turning 26 and coming of COVID. If only he dropped his batting average 100 points for a few more homers, he'd be the consensus MVP or "only good player in the lineup", at least in this bizarro world clamoring for an everyday OF of Gonzalez, Goodwin and Lamb, or dumping Crochet for some garbage rental. 2021 White Sox fWAR Leaders: Carlos Rodon 2.8 Yoan Moncada 2.7 Lance Lynn 2.1 Dylan Cease 2.0 Tim Anderson 1.8

Moncada is the top 3B in MLB. and has the 19th highest fWAR in MLB. How the hell is he considered weak? This board, and Steve Stone, is truly baffling when it comes to Yoan. https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=3b&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=y&type=8&season=2021&month=0&season1=2021&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&startdate=2021-01-01&enddate=2021-12-31

1. The White Sox ignore science such as meteorology in the name of selling excess parking and concessions for a game that should not have started. 2. You will not receive a refund for today’s tickets or parking but rather a credit for a future game you may or may not be able to attend. 3. If you have a bag of popcorn, it will be confiscated, and you may be subject to expulsion, arrest and or a discharged taser into your abdomen.
