Anderson still sucks. Good to know.

Apparently not a fastball right down the cock of the plate.

The way to improve a terrible team with no outfield talent is to acquire young outfielders and try them out. Giving at bats to old vets may add a couple wins for this season only but does absolutely nothing for the team long-term.

Was going to say — how long until Schriffen says something stupid and annoys everyone.

Almost a bomb. That’s out on a normal day.

Which one?

I’ve been making this same argument all offseason. Apparently, no one is having it. Obviously Robert has to start in CF and I understand that Benintendi has a bloated contract so he needs to play, but he can DH. Our corner outfield spots should be young players.

There is only one Original Tribal Chief, and you ain’t it.

CHSN on 62.2 OTA.

Fletcher over McCarthy was a Josh Barfield recommendation. Getz hired Barfield.

You are acting like age doesn’t catch up with these guys. Slater is 32 and Tauchman and Taylor are nearing 35. I think you are going to be in for a rude awakening with how these guys perform this season. How often have we said this with vet signings since the Kenny and then Hahn days? If only he produces like he did a couple years ago…

Don’t forget — a reliever with a minuscule $1.05 million salary that wasn’t claimed by any other team and couldn’t make the Sox opening day bullpen. And he was supposedly a great inclusion to the trade because he was going to be flipped for another prospect!

What rebuilding MLB team set to lose 100 games doesn’t need two backup CF’ers that can’t hit a lick and are aged 33 and 34?

Impressive how Getz managed to put together an even worse opening day roster than last year.

241 plate appearances with the Sox and 120 plate appearances in the minors last season. Apparently, Getz can admit to botching a trade rather quickly. He DFA’ed DeLoach even faster.

Jones blows but it was obvious Colas wasn’t going to get another shot, so whatever. If Jones ever gets the call, the fans in the scout seats are going to get some nice cooling breezes every time he is at the plate.

One or the other is okay to serve as a fourth outfielder to mainly back up CF, but rostering both is ridiculous. Like I said, I’m hoping Jankowski is just a placeholder for the eventual Canario waiver claim. If any team can give the kid a chance due to him being out of options, it’s our garbage corner outfield situation.

Canario is on waivers. The Sox should have top waiver claim priority due to their record last year. Taylor can back up CF. If Jankowski isn’t sent to DFA land to claim Canario in a few days, Getz is a clown. 🤡 Like, WTF are we doing here with multiple outfielders in their mid-30’s? A rebuilding team that is going to lose 100 games again.

Unless I am mistaken, the White Sox have the top waiver claim priority right now due to having the worst win/loss record last year. So Canario should be with the White Sox within a week, if Getz isn’t a complete and utter moron. And there is no need for Jankowski as you already have Taylor to backup CF. And Jankowski being a lefty bat shouldn’t really factor in as he can’t hit for s%*# regardless of his handedness.

He managed to keep his ERA below 7.

I acknowledge you, my Tribal Chief.

Getz better be ready to jettison 33-year old Jankowski for Canario…

Good point. Seems rather strange to sign three crappy vets and make your trades look even worse. He’s crappy too, but would 2025 really be any different if Fletcher is playing RF?

Josh Rojas was also placed on the 10-day injured list with a right toe fracture.
