WhiteSox2023

In ST games or games that actually count? The Sox lose either way. I don’t need to troll sh1t. It’s history, lest you forget… 41-121. And to quote Hawk — This debate is OVAAAA!

This Padres trolling is quite hilarious. If the Sox were as good as the Padres right now, they wouldn’t be the “laughingstock” of the MLB. Yes, “laughingstock” is a thing, even if some people want to try to deny it.

Meanwhile, the Commanders are now right where we wished the Bears would be at this point in time. Sad…

Could be. Obviously worth trying him as a starter first. If he doesn’t have the control for 5+ innings, try him as a reliever.

Is it too soon to sell high on Luis Robert before he gets hurt? 🤣

Lord Meidroth is giving @Chicago White Sox massive wood today.

The offense has arrived!!!

Wrong thread.

Was he throwing that hard in his last start?

Good point. I still think Fletcher and Colas should have probably received more playing time last year, once it was obvious the season was lost.

Hopefully he would spare no expense on the Sox roster as well, if he becomes owner along with his brother.

Too bad. It used to be walks and HRs. Not so much these days.

Due to an injury to Benintendi in which he won’t even be gone that long? Forced to play.

I gave up on those ideas with Fletcher and Colas cuz your boy signed an old fart platoon to play RF. He apparently has no faith in guys he acquired and/or helped develop.

Oops, haha.

Let’s try to get to a 3 runs per game average before getting crazy here… Baby steps.

Getz believed in Nicky Lopez. He believed in Fletcher. He believed in Vargas. He believed in DeLoach. He apparently still believes in Clevinger. Why do we care what Getz’s opinion on players is, other than the fact that he is unfortunately the Sox GM?

Political talk. Reported.

It isn’t the same situation. DeLoach was cut during the offseason before teams had finalized their rosters, yet no team wanted him. Canario was cut at the beginning of ST when teams already had filled their rosters, yet a team (Mets) still chose to acquire him.

That isn’t my point at all. My point is that in yet another expected horrible losing season like last year, a crappy team like the White Sox is better served starting a young player in the outfield over an old man RF platoon. Even if the young player doesn’t pan out, it’s worth the shot to see what could happen. Oh God forbid, the Sox lose 100 games starting a guy like Canario instead if 98 games with a Tauchman/Slater platoon! The point is that it wouldn’t matter much in the grand scheme of things. Tauchman and Slater aren’t going to be traded for anything of value anyways.

He was DFA’ed already so next to none. That trade has taken a turn for the worse.

Getz’s best outfielder last year before he was dumped was Tommy Pham with a .710 OPS, so I guess it’s possible.

So we should just assume that a 34 year old and a 32 year old can reach the numbers they had when they were two years younger? Old guys don’t usually improve; however, 24 years olds can. I also never once mentioned anything about Canario’s stats one way or the other, outside of his minor league stats. He hasn’t had enough at bats in the majors to prove anything, one way or the other.

If a team thought DeLoach had any value, they could find a worse player on their 40-man roster to drop for him. That didn’t happen with all other 29 teams.

But you don’t know if the Sox couldn’t get 2 wins out of a different younger outfielder. And how is 2 wins from an over-the-hill platoon of Tauchman and Slater even a given? It sure wasn’t last year and these guys are just another year older. Mike Tauchman: 0.6 bWAR in 2024 Austin Slater: -0.2 bWAR in 2024 These guys could very easily tank worse this season like most vets that the Sox acquire on the cheap year after year.
