  1. So he is so good that Carleson already being here makes no difference. Positional value and BPA still
  2. —-Rick Hahn listened to his staff and players. He refused to move Gonzalez and gave him a shot in the big leagues. But once Hahn was fired, GM Chris Getz did not have the same reverence for Gonzalez's intangibles and potential. The White Sox designated Romy Gonzalez for assignment on January 26, 2024. They have lived to regret that decision and the entire baseball world is now shaming them for letting Romy Gonzalez get away ENTIRE BASEBALL WORLD! https://southsideshowdown.com/white-sox-get-shamed-romy-gonzalez-underrated-mlb-star-news
  3. 50-60 home runs sort of speaks for itself. If there is a Sox tax on marketing exposure, that’s a shame. But some people just care about the baseball.
  4. So the Sox got a year, the Cubs got one of greatest hitters of all time for a career. Sox didn’t need that though.
  5. Sosa for Bell still gets my shorts in a bunch as well as the aforementioned deals. While every team has this type stuff in their annals, the Sox have perfected the art.
  6. Dusty Balls. That’s definitely a contender for my next screen name.
  7. I’m curious what he’s hitting, not just that he’s hitting. What adjustments did he make to the pitchers
  8. There can be no desperation in 2025 for anything specific. All that matters is the long run big picture. Stock talent, any position. Don’t overthink it.
  9. Kenny’s philosophy about paying great players was exact same as Jerry. As in, not gonna. Whatever one would want to say about Kenny’s capped ceiling design teams that makes you tingly, he was a fatally flawed entity.
  10. I kind of think good franchises have farm systems. So there you go. Getz has the right idea even if a wrong execution . Fire him if you want to. Keep the outline.
  11. While I have had issues with all the goings on, the old Kenny teams would always be gathering mediocre and shot veterans trying to salvage .500 baseball, with no farm system to speak of. So, this is way more better even though the post Kenny teams haven’t cut the mustard. Youth movement s keep hope (for upside) alive
  12. I think it’s galactically stupid to mess with Meidroth. He’s earned the spot, or at least the right to keep it until he falters, and just bringing up a guy just because, that’s not a smart organization that is doing that.
  13. Gotta believe access to funds also means control, effectively.
  14. That’s funny. I wrote Oakland for some reason. Yeah. There must be some connection with Getz and an agent. Owes a favor? IDK.
  15. Gotta stay ahead of Oakland
  16. Right. We’re not looking for cover out here. Let’s shine a light on Jerry’s boys. Curse the Rockies!
  17. In Sox world, a “Damn good player” is a major league player above replacement level.
  18. So, do the Sox keep letting him steal bases, or do they put him in bubble wrap?
  19. No issue other than his stuff tanking. MOG. I can’t believe that elbow soreness is not at least a partial impetus for the biomechanics work without a timeline to work with. A pitcher flying open with a delivery is usually a team’s pitching coach’s job to fix
  20. Crochet was always a violent delivery guy iirc. The shoulder goes before the elbow usually. And it did. He is also on the list
  21. If he already had the surgery, and presumably he had his delivery examined already, and the mechanics are still causing problems in the pros, does not inspire confidence in them finally working it out now. They talk like they already knew what his issue was, and we are still dealing with whatever inflammation this is causing
