That’s a bit of an insincere way to frame it. All of those first basemen you listed had way worse years than expected. And Vaughn has never had even one good season in his career, much less a season as good as what all of those 1B have had in their careers. Plus, many of the guys you listed are at the downside of their careers. Vaughn is sitting here at age 26 which should be the prime years of his career and is still terrible.

Famous last words, and that totally sounds like Hahn. ”If our entire roster stays healthy all season and has a great season, we’ll win a lot of games!!!”

Is this the entire list? It does say additional but I’m not sure that means what I think it does. Man, that current players list is embarrassing.

Yep. The Orioles at least have players that have actually panned out in the majors. We are sitting here hoping that our first wave of prospects actually will. And we all know that top prospects always pan out in the majors, just like the Sox first rebuild…

Andrew Vaughn is definitely offensive to watch at first base. 🤣

Especially in the White Sox organization. Roster needs over actual readiness.

True to some extent. But discussing whether a #3 overall pick is worth $6 million or should be DFA after only four seasons at age 26 is pretty damn bad.

True, but do you want to welcome those nut jobs back? I’m sure you can taste their tears over at Orioles Hangout. 🤣

His joke about having an R&D department with 15 employees with actual computers was pretty cringy lol.

The White Sox ultimate cock tease.

But Getz said he expects to sign someone to a $100 million dollar deal in the near future! Is it still 2010? 🤣

They also had to develop him…

And far more often for the Sox than other teams, specially position players.

You don’t blame the very organization that drafted the bust first baseman in the first place? Your description of AV should have been in the Sox scouting reports when they decided to draft him third overall.

Yes, so many other teams wanted our bum players!!! Amazing how we were able to retain these guys! 😆

The White Sox way for eternity. Quantity is always better than quality. Sign as many vet scrubs as you can. Multiple vet bums that total $20 million for one year is always better than one good player for $20 million. Getz is and will be using the same playbook as Hahn.

Just imagine if the Sox with their current rebuild don’t even match what the Orioles have done with theirs? The grass is almost assuredly never greener on the White Sox side. I agree with your opinion that Elias has made some very questionable decisions, especially this offseason regarding starting pitching. But the Sox make plenty more questionable to bad decisions all the time.

Four straight years of being the same player. He is who he is.

And I wouldn’t give Bell $6 million either.

Even with Baldwin around, the Amaya DFA is what made me lose hope that Montgomery wouldn’t be on the opening day roster. Amaya was the one true SS the Sox had on the roster. Meanwhile, Rojas will no doubt be starting at 3B.

Big time.

I was hoping Julks would be gone for good, but apparently only Getz ever wanted him last season.

He’ll be wishing he was still pitching in Petco after a few starts at Rate.

Scholtens would definitely be my first choice. Old and bad is bad. But I’m not sure on the second cut. It’s bad when the players you are adding to the 40-man don’t seem to be worth much more than the guys you have to cut to make room for them.

Shewmake was DFA to make room for the acquisition of Tyler Gilbert.
