Seems odd that they'd project a rookie with zero MLB ABs to those kind of numbers

I watch them for the comedy. I finally finished watching the final season of curb so I only have so many choices left

One of the mightiest unibrows I have ever seen. Imagine standing on the bump and seeing those arch in bemusement at your offerings as he takes slider after slider tantalizingly skirting the zone

Journalism doesn't require a specific degree.

What's that have to do with the White Sox?

What's the worst betting line you would typically see in an mlb game? Was thinking about going for another 20 game losing streak

He's a poor man's Billy Hamilton

Thaiss is an actual major leaguer unlike Chuckie

There were a few just in the last few years. Matt Olson, Matt Chapman, Eugenio Suarez and Dylan Cease

Drury has less than 3 career WAR over 867 games. I guess you may be able to steal a 3 war season in the same sense anyone put on a mlb roster might have an unforeseen breakout season.

Yeah I read that quote out of context. My mistake

The 60 day removes player from 40 man roster. The sox do have players already on 60 day list currently

That is false. An option is used when a player is demoted from the major league roster. Being placed on the IL is not a demotion

We had a 93 win division championship season in which three pitchers acquired directly from the root of Hector Santiago combined for ten and half war and still have a top 50 prospect today to show for him

Hector Santiago"s impact on the organization was massive, which we are still seeing the fruits of today. Having put up a strong 4.2 WAR over 221 innings of work with Sox, traded for Eaton, who of course in initial three year stint put up over 15 WAR Eaton then traded for Giolito, Lopez and Dunning. Dunning for Lynn Giolito and Lopez packaged for Edgar Quero and Ky Bush Lynn also packaged with Kelly for Leasure and Nastrini. So sox got directly from Santiago individual seasons of 2.7, 5.2, 4.6, 6.1,5.4, 4.3, 2.9, 5.5, a current top 50ish prospect, along with at least partially some of our current young albeit borderline pitching depth. Not too shabby for a 30th round pick from 19 years ago

When Teel is added to the roster, it would be a question of Lee vs Thais though

Hackenberg had more HR is six cactus league PA than he had all of last season

That was kind of my unspoken point. That’s why I referenced him reaching the majors with the Cubs and being added to 40 man with the Mets. It was the guy on your side of the argument claiming “ according to all reports”. Obviously the reports of the Cubs and Mets differ from whatever he has subscribed to

Not to mention Mets, having vastly superior outfield depth to the Sox, added him to 40 man roster. That would indicate there is at least a second report that says he has a chance

Well yeah sample size. Point is he made it to mlb, so claim that “all reports say he has no chance” is false. At least one report must say he has a chance else he would have never been called up

He also can play CF whereas Slater is barely adequate in LF. You can say Canario wouldn’t help the sox 3-4 years down the road, but you don’t know that. We can say for a fact Slater won’t be

He hasn’t yet what? Made it to the majors? He has .850+ OPS in 45 mlb ABs

If Canario has no shot, how is it he made it to the major leagues. There is zero chance Slater does anything to help this team sniff .500 at any point. There is a greater than zero chance Canario becomes a serviceable mlb player at some point over the next few years. If not there would be no loss compared to carrying Slater in a hundred plus loss season. Should be a no brainer Can’t believe people are actually arguing in favor of Slater here

Catchers can challenge strike calls now??

Players don’t have three options anymore?
