He has a better arm than Vaughn and Sheets surely.
Having a cannon in right is much more a "nice to have" than the "must have" people tend to make it seem.
Ill need to think about that.
At least subbing for Eloy in late innings becomes easier plugging in Engel and shifting AJ into left

Rick Hahn finally getting revenge for not getting to hire Hinch. I like to imagine he was prepared to roll with internal options for right field, heard TLR's comments and just went "oh, fuck off."
Tony gets to be proven wrong at least 100 games this season. And that’s just about right field

Well our outfield just got alot better. He hasn't spent much time in RF but he's been serviceable in the outfield in general the past few years.
Not a right field arm tho

From the comments:
“And Haseley currently ranks 3rd in WAR from the 2017 first round. Take that what you will”

We’ll see how good his defense is with a 47% falloff in speed from two seasons ago…we usually don’t “coach up” players unless it’s getting surprising offense at catcher from the likes of Narvaez and McCann.
Likely will still be much better than Eloy, Sheets and Andrew.
47%? That means he now runs slower than Paul Konerko.
Anyway, I'm glad for the trade, but will be surprised if he ever played better than Adam Engel just because the Phillies gave up for a minor league reliever that maxed out his physical profile at 24YO. As previously stated, the Sox have to keep at this.

Low-cost move that solidifies the OF. Doesn't make us worse, but definitely doesn't change the fact that RF still a huge need.
As a younger man, I would choose to believe in the upside of aquisitions sich as this. Experience makes you wiser. Basically, if this ends up as the end of the White Sox pursuit for a right fielder,, disapointing. I expect us to be buying at the deadline (if the Sox are even willing ffs)

This was my exact same thought, Rick Hahn loves making the same mistakes over again though so add this to the list of things that won’t work out.
As long as he’s not giving up stud prospects for the duds, we’re making progress on the learning curve. Haseley is 25 years old too, not an old pitcher. This is new.

You know who was better than Adam Haseley?
Luis Gonzalez, our 6th outfielder last year who is know on the Giants and was actually able to play a good center field.
OOF. And probably says all we want to hear about Mr Adolfo. Must be upgrading from him and Engel?

Phillies’ site claims it was likely a mental health issue with Haseley. Athletic article embedded inside this one…Odd, considering his mental makeup was a chief draft aspect on him.

I really liked him around draft time. Haven't paid attention since then.
Same. Was always wishing to be in position for a guy with his description in the first round. Life in baseball happens though, wonder what happened to him.

I guess Tony LaRussa was wrong. Or just a dick

Wow, an injury that wasn't worst case scenario?
Perhaps the vibes are shifting.
Genuine surprise. The odds say we’re due for a healthy season though. But in the midst of a seige, everything looks like a hammer coming down

So my question for the Sox organization…
what have you learned here?
Should have traded him for an old pitcher already
-
Am I misremembering Vaughn last year having a hip injury?
-
Jerry Reinsdorf must be possessed by a demon that likes to injure his players.

Maybe Micker made the team now.
Can he Vault over the rotton, stinking, necrosing corpse of Zack Collins' worthless roster spot?

The guy created a thread complaining about things other people post so I have no idea how this defense can even be made.
whining about whining is internet boilerplate

If Adolfo has an excellent spring, do you guys think the Sox should give him a look in RF before sending him on his merry way to a rebuilding team?
I tell ya Id give him a roster spot before that stiff, Collins

I haven’t seen any descriptions of how he looks in left so far
Kimbrel traded for AJ Pollock
in Pale Hose Talk

Not sure the White Sox are looking at this as a savings, since Kimbrel’s salary was a basic add-on for the stretch and playoffs. Now, the money sticks over what Madrigal was making.
