5’11 catcher?

Yeah that was a confusing stipulation

Hence, the difference. Not that the Sox have a better chance of making good decisions after any firings. But you gotta crawl before you can walk.

Burger is it.

stick with Burger! BURGER FOREVER! (Or at least until such time as there becomes a better plan)

Honestly I always say never trade low on a young ish guy. But I have lost faith he will ever have more than one season of health in him at a time. Which is against the odds as well. I say it’s worth doing to trade him now if there is some reasonable return out there.

Fify

Well from what In reading, the Cubs pick was more of a Happ type. At this point I prefer a more focused SS prospect. Although one can argue that a utility player is important in the Sox situational uncertainty condition.

An important detail as the final score, given the context of how the team has played the entire year

It may be time for a stupid and futile gesture.

They don’t have to say it’s over. They also don’t have to indicate a self-delusion. Just talk about competing etc. Blah blah blah blah blah.

Well, Matt Thornton. Who wasn’t a disaster before he got here. Just that the Sox shined him up and he became a gem. They have tried to do this countless times, I don’t know if they thought they had the Midas touch. They don’t, and it hasn’t occurred to them they don’t.

The Sox once upon a time like 18 years ago signed a lefty reliever with a great arm, but couldn’t get anyone out. They transformed him into a good player, so ever since then they decided to become the patron saint of guys that can throw a brick through a battleship, but can’t hit the catcher’s mitt.

Maybe not a massive upside, the Alexei Ramirez feeling. Which is fine. Although this kid has a little more power potential depending on what you read.

Well, it was a good direction they took with the pick anyway. Lacks speed as an infielder. I still have recurring Wes Kath nightmares. But this kid won’t be him at third. He should take over when the Moncada mistake is passed.

He wants unconditional love. And there are those people out there that fall in love with players and don’t care to look critically. But again, most fans love the laundry, the names come and go. Tim Anderson misunderstands sports fans.

We tired

Just hire the AI. What’s the worst that can happen.

Perhaps not. ?

Wow. When I proposed this earlier this year I was shot down like a clay pigeon. Not a good idea! Too young! Unwise! Get a clue kid!

The get better part, never gonna happen

So, you’re saying there’s a chance

I would say this is the most White Sox thing ever, but that statement covers a lot of ground actually

Too bad gotta bench him to get his attention to focus
