Yep. or, more realistically, Ramos comes down to earth when the league figures him out. He then goes down to AA or AAA to work to patch those holes and make adjustments. either scenario works for me.

If you’re bringing Moncada back into the lineup, the most asinine thing you can do IMO is to move him from 3B. His defense at 3B is his biggest asset at this point. If he can come back before the deadline, you showcase any strengths he has so you can maximize returns if possible for a trade.

Challenge accepted.

Didn't realize I had to add "</sarc>" to something THAT obvious.

game worn?

The year is 2021... "bold prediction - we'll be neck and neck with the Astros in 2024!"

Sounds like the perfect acquisition for the Sox down the road, with a bonus Eder DFA to make room on the 40-man.

I hate you for making me laugh at this fucking joke.

Of course. That much I think we all agree on (for the most part). My point isn't so much that Getz is making bad moves, but his body of work as a whole is flat.

Maybe. That’s one way to look at it. another perspective is that he hasn’t really moved the needle at all in terms of the org. Sure, he’s made nice little deals here and there, but it seems like there isn’t a lot done to fundamentally shift the organization’s core standing, besides the Cease and maybe Bummer trades.

From an athletic and drive standpoint, thousands of kids suffer overuse injuries that become lifelong ailments, and countless others just get burned out and build up resentment toward the sports. That’s what I mean by “ruined.” I’ve seen it in dozens of kids in my direct involvement. It’s not a stretch to extrapolate that single point of reference to thousands of kids.

Somehow the best post of the thread. That's where we are as an organization.

I felt bad nobody responded to this, so here ya go. What a sad season.

What’s he supposed to say? “The wheels were falling off around me, but I had a fucking blast!”

White Sox Baseball: never mind our history. Let’s just look the other way… towards the future

Yes, but that’s every thread for me.

I'm not sure of the math exactly, but my gut tells me that Pham is on pace for about 193 RBI and 75 HR. MVP, but that goes without saying.

You don’t. But the Sox do.

Pedro says "hold my beer."

The pressures put on youth sports players by the system and parents is ruining thousands of kids. overuse injuries and burnout are far too common.

To each their own. Some people would gladly take that cash. Others would rather not, and they shouldn't be judged for that.

That would be hysterical.

I think Kopech could become a valuable piece of he shows extended flashes of success. Pham - also yes. Would be worth a B-level prospect to a contender. Crochet could be valuable to a team who thinks a) he's a shut-down reliever for 2024; and b) he can be effective as a starter long-term.

Pitchers add stuff to their repertoire fairly commonly. It’s not all that rare, and, as bad as this org is, I wouldn’t read into it much.
