GreenSox

Save Omar! 2nd highest OPS on the team. One of the few Sox that takes a walk in an organization that has been walked-challenged for over a decade. The Sox signed several reclamation projects..unfortunately, most didn't reclaim.

That's what the Sox would be doing even if Forsythe could play; Sox neither need nor should want a veteran. Trade for him and then cut him. Take the prospect.

I'd like to see him go to an AL team....bleed the farms of other AL teams.

.340 range or higher; and .360+ if he's going to be an all star level player.

1)I never hear/read anything about the analytics department. And I never really hear about how they might use analytics in evaluating or in scouting opponents) other than their shifting, which I suppose is an analytics thing. I hope you are correct in that. 2)Getz is new and early reports are positive. Haber is not new. Hostetler is a White Sox lifer, with a short period with another team. The GM lineage has been maintained since the early 1990s when Ron Scheuler was hired. 30 years is a long time. They may get it right this time and I hope to heck that they do. 3)On paper, all looked fine, some better than others. But nothing has popped yet; still plenty of time.

Good move. He and Davidson should have a reasonable chance of playing an acceptable 1B, given their prior experience at 3B. Nick v. Davidson v. Palka

I hope they keep Rodon. There is plenty of time to trade him. In the meantime, they need to start building this team up. The Sox should have enough prospects after trading Sale, Q, Eaton and many secondary players. They also had a top 4 pick, and picks in the top 11 for like the last 5 years. Other orgs rebuild their orgs in 2-3 years without the jumps-start. What more does this FO need? Stabilize the pitching and this rebuild should start to take off.

Do you believe they really did that? FO virtually unchanged; Getz is new and the scouting director is new and a smooth a talker, but also a White Sox lifer (and, of course, they blame the Fulmer pick on the prior scouting director). It goes well beyond Tatis, although that deal brought to a head the ongoing problem of consistently poor talent evaluation, as that was an epic failure on both sides of the swap. Even in the dispersal, so far their have been no diamonds in the rough, whereas the Cubs, Brewers and Astros got several. Maybe the minors will be more productive- they look more productive - but every team has players with good stats in A and AA.

Patience will pay off in the long run as he pulls everything together.

He's got great plate patience; that will lead to consistency - a hot consistency.

Seth Beer has over 100 at bats across 2 Astros A ball teams (and bypassed the Astros equivalent of the Arizona league), and, like all Astros prospects seem to do, is raking. Madrigal has 9 at bats. I realize he played a couple of weeks in the CWS, but let's get going.

wow- you had a fun night!

The Royals should come in with a lot of confidence figuring the are finally playing a team that they can compete with. May be a tougher series than expected.

Mis-evaluated Shields Mis-evaluated Tatis Mis-understood the market value of Shields, even if Shields was who the Sox thought he was and even if Tatis was prospect of modest talent But these are common problems in organizations that are losing.

The hitting, including the progress of young hitters, has been far more productive than the pitching. And I also like this coach if for no other reason he is not a White Sox lifer

Why does Moncada need Abreu around? Real Housewives of Atlanta They are young guys with massive talent; they'll pull it together soon enough or at least they should.

Lord help us. As for Moncada and Kopech, they both had off the field/personality issues that were focus related. And we've seen it. It's a little odd though considering that the Sox tend to over-emphasize "good in the clubhouse" and "grit" in general. But focus issues increase the risk, so it's easier to see why the Redsox wanted to protect what they saw as surer bets to be productive major leaguers, albeit with lower ceilings.

Most of what Hahn says publicly strikes me as hyperbole/spin/CYA; my view is still affected by his sorry excuses for the Shields trade, which were never challenged by Chicago media or bloggers. That said, on paper at least, that deal was so strong, it's hard to image another teaming coming close. The Sale trade was probably light on paper, and in comparison to the Q deal it was definitely light. And except for Moncada, we're still "on paper" on these trades.

McKinney is a substantially better minor league hitter than Tilson ever was. So is/was Cordell but Cordell's been hurt. If his D was good, I'd be thrilled with him for Soria. But as one who thinks they need to start building this team up, but not by trading for older veterans, I'm good with a player who can possibly start for Soria.

Should have called up Gomez earlier - his only value is as a flipper as well. Rondon hasn't really pitched any worse than a lot of these guys; but once he can't be flipped, no reason to keep him around I guess.

Those are usually player opt outs; it doesn't help mitigate the risk for the team.

LaMarre to the 25? Why? Play Leury; call up an infielder.

The Sox need another year of development and assessments before they can make the major moves. I look at this team and it looks .500ish to me. Not enough pitching depth, sluggish OF defense; very ?able pen behind Kimbrall.

No

Yes, but my plan was to also send down Engel and/or Tilson, in which case Charlotte wouldn't need another OF anyway. I guess it also means that Delmonico isn't particularly close. Maybe bring up Alvarez instead of Rodon - just to see if we can get some Dodger-type luck.
