Me and Hahn are sympatico. We aren’t that thirsty. Stay strong rh.

A quick question about fielding positions
Yep. Passed balls and inaccurate throws.

Gavin Sheets - STUD
He might regress. But then again for a rookie it’s hard to groove into a comfortable head space when you are not playing your natural position on a regular basis. He’s still developing, so otoh he might hold his own if he had more consistency as far as natural positional usage. Vaughn is more talented, but he showed improvement as he settled in to left field and he knew he was playing left when he rolled out of bed every day. Now I wonder if he will keep that arc of improvement going if Eloy forces him to move around more. But that’s another story.

A quick question about fielding positions
Everything else has been mostly said about the power position characteristics. I’ll only toss in that ideally you want a lefty at first base because the glove hand is in the hole to increase range. And you want a big target there. Gavin Sheets was almost created in a lab to play first base.
- AND THAT'S A WHITE SOX WINNER!!!

Sox @ Royals 7/27, 7:10
If I didn’t know any better, Id say Tony is doing this outfield on purpose to show everyone how bad it can get if we were to try it in meaningful games ?

So Eloy in LF? Alllrighty then. anyway, I was encouraged with his at bats in game 1. He didn’t strike out more than once. Its a process.

Adam Frazier to Padres
Jose. In that he is an infielder supposed to have a lot of skills but not necessarily elite skills.

We do have something in common then! Woot

Adam Frazier to Padres
A quick first impression of his description is that he is a bit like a Rodriguez level talent but more of a utility man. Then again I was barely familiar with Rodriguez other than a few brief google searches recently

That would not be the reason. The division is over. Scurred, buy a dog.

We Keep Sucking...
Takes 2 to trade. Discouraging but not necessarily Hahn’s fault. These teams are likely trying to bend us over.

7/24- Chicago @ Milwaukee, 6:10
I guess we hope lineup updates will fix us. To an extent. But will need to plug the bullpen leak. Well need both to feel good. Expecting a starting pitcher run like 2005 in the playoffs is unrealistic. The team is sort of still raw and unfinished? So I won’t be too disappointed if we get run in the ALCS.

Rodriguez, no. Ramos, no. Burger, no. Kanny kids, no. Kopech, no. Crochet, no. Cespedes, no. Sanchez, no. Kath, no. Montgomery, no. Sheets is only possible because he’s only a first baseman. Even then I shudder
