Yeah the idea is to get actual depth so an injury (or in this core's case, injuries) don't absolutely kill you. Hahn had absolutely. nothing behind any of these guys.

I mean Crochet has made less than half a season of starts and people want to give him an absolute shitload of money. Pitching is unpredictable, which is why I think you should just gather as much as you can and not pay big money for it.

Rockies threw way too much leather today. You’d think they’d be much better than barely better than the Sox record wise.

He is safe.

This game will never end.

Robert and Eloy are both baseball stupid.

That was filthy.

I just think it’s too big of a risk to give him something substantial. If I’m wrong I’m wrong, but getting pieces that fit your next “timeline” just makes more sense. It is what it is.

The amount of bad ABs Robert has is shocking.

Oh. Well then okay.

Yeah that was super weak.

And what makes you think the Sox should offer him like 200 million or even 150 at this point?

Bunting over for Maldy? Fucking hell.

If Vaughn didn’t have one of the worst starts of all time he’d be having a decent season.

Waited too long to move him.

Serious question. In the climate of how pitching is basically dropping like flies and constantly being hurt, and with his injury track record already - why would you be comfortable with signing him long term? He has looked great, which is why you should move him before he doesn’t. Look at Rodon.

Wonder what the Dodgers' offer was that was rejected very quickly.

If Soto is out for a while this could get real spicy with Robert.

Not as bad as the Rockies. Suck it.

Yeah I think the early returns, at least on pitching, has been incredibly promising. The bigger hitting prospects are doing what they need to do (minus Colson, I suppose). But the pitching is obviously further along than the hitting, which makes sense given the talent gap.

I don’t think they get something special, but I bet they get someone that’s at least interesting.

Grifol talking about slowing down Crochet's workload is the stupidest fucking thing. Just shut up, man. He is such a moron.

You can blame the White Sox for a lot of things - but Michael Kopech being whatever the hell he is is not one of them.

Josh Naylor is on Cleveland, sadly.

It’s Eloy to me. He seemed like the most sure thing to just put up great offensive seasons.
