Don’t worry, Cholowsky incoming 😎

I would argue that being an organization with the capability to draft, develop and sign all stars would have been the turnaround we are looking for. In light of our inherent handicaps and hardships, we hopefully make plan B a relative success as much we can.

“The transaction underscores where each franchise stands — the White Sox aim to find upside through cost-controlled arms while the Red Sox continue positioning for immediate contention. Both clubs addressed key needs in a quiet yet notable November exchange“

26. Ronny Hernandez, C Ronny Hernandez put himself on the map in 2022 while playing in the Dominican Summer League, posting a 136 wRC+ with six home runs and a 15% walk rate, with his strikeout rate being only slightly higher at 17.5%. While his numbers haven’t quite been that gaudy, he has still solidified himself as the second-best catching prospect in the system, behind only Edgar Quero. Hernandez has gotten his first taste of full-season ball, spending the entire season with the Low-A Kannapolis Cannonballers. During that time, he has held a respectable batting average while showing elite plate discipline, holding a walk rate that is higher than his strikeout rate. While he has some raw power in his bat, he hasn’t been able to tap into it much since he came stateside. If he can start to put the ball over the fence a bit more, he could skyrocket up rankings Ronny Hernandez, C Strong showings in both of the White Sox complex leagues allowed Ronny Hernandez to receive some credibility as a legitimate catching prospect for the White Sox, earning a promotion to Low-A Kannapolis for the 2024 season. He continued to show off a similar skillset of making solid contact and good decisions at the plate, although there was very little power production to speak of. Behind the plate, he works well with the pitching staff but still has some room to grow with his actions. Hernandez was in our top 30 last season and would have remained in prior to the Garrett Crochet. If he can develop a bit more power while showing off the same advanced approach at the plate in High-A Winston Salem this year, he could very well earn a spot back on the list by midseason.

Is this the obligatory nickname for every player that has a name starting in Yo’? Of course it is.

Satisfied may not be the right word. But they are compromising, and have low standards for their dollar/approval.

Just win, baby

I hate the Cubs. Yet as long as the Cubs are ahead of us in the standings and overall development of the roster and organizational support systems, it’s difficult to take a lot of schadenfreudesque cuts at them.

That being said, we should just make it clear up front that we aren’t keeping any superstars we might be lucky enough to bring up as our own prospects. Just tell us the truth, man.

That POV and determination a loss for an organization and fanbase going in. That’s like saying we’re losers. We suck, but we’re trying to make the best of it. Gaaaaaaa!

MLB ratings may be moving in the right direction, but more KPop is not traced among factors.

Babe Ruth ate a lot of hot dogs.

WWE, Magic Mike, children and youth oriented cornball is not for everyone. Entertainment is in the eye of the beholder.

Curious to know if most of the haters are indeed “old”. Myself being one of them could help indicate age. Choreographed Hot dogging in sports has always been cringe to a lot of people, and this is like the World Series of choreographed hot dogging. Enjoy.

I don’t know what you do for a living, but it’s not real estate. Taking that perspective into a meeting with your client seller will get you fired.

It’s not about recouping value in general, it’s about value relative to what you should and could be getting

Look, the old Sox would have held onto dysfunctioning players until death do they part. If the Sox lose the deal, I wouldn’t hate the thinking. Players that aren’t producing, lets have higher standards and move on. Most of time it’s gonna be the right move

I begrudge somebody. Just not sure who it is or who it should be.

Ah. So basically, the light went on for maturity *reasons* which have less to do with special development work or repairs. I just don’t believe teams deserve as much credit or blame that they get. Teams that are good at signing talent get lauded for their developmental ability. But really they are just signing better ballplayers

What changes were made?

The good ones hit mistakes. But boy, that was a mistake.

We assumed

So he is so good that Carleson already being here makes no difference. Positional value and BPA still
