Drafted a possible reliever, yay
I was hoping for a HSer with a high ceiling at 3. But the protypical Sox pick, he projects as a reliever college pitcher.

Hahahahaha that figures.
Greg would be happy we won more games than the Red Sox. But this is the worst case scenario when the team one ahead gets players that would look good in black and white.

Thinking prep pitching at 51…. Wolters, Johnson, Sykora, Clemmey, Wilson?
Hahn is thinking quick safe climbers who can provide low cost mlb fill ins. Think college arms. The wheels are off the bus and Hahn is thinking survival not long term goals.

So are we assuming this was a Hahn pick over a Shirley pick?
This screams a safe mediocre replacement for Anderson . This way they can trade him. It’s a mlb 2024/25 roster move not a long term plan. This is a guy playing checkers not chess.

30 grade runner at shortstop sure is something
The only way this gets fixed is when the unfirable band of fools who have steered this team into the iceberg year after year are all gone. That’s when the current ownership is no longer the owner. Nothing gets fixed until Reinsdorf is gone.

Why is Eloy moving his back foot away from the plate. During his swing, his back leg moves towards 3rd base. How the f*** are you going to hit a slider when you are bailing away with your back foot.

Hahn could overrule him and decide he wants a college pitcher who will move thru the system quickly. Happens all the time.
Which person is responsible for the 5'6 zero pop slap hitter we picked at #4 that is currently patrolling the minor leagues of the cubs. Because whomever that guy is he sucks at talent evaluation.

Except for that whole sexual assault cover up. I'm still not ready to embrace the franchise.
Do you still embrace the white sox. Let me introduce you to their first base coach Daryl Boston. Still employed by the team.

Wow
I thought his eyewash boxing workout in the off season was going to keep him in shape. He has matching gloves with his outfit and everything.

Luis looks broken. He cant hit fastballs.

Hah, they did. A lefty with 5.5 years of control sorta fits the “potentially useful” role. Still strange to lose him if you know Liam is going to 60 day IL and it’s available To them.
This has been a weird front office thing for a while. Not putting people on the DL, not putting them on the 60 day DL when its obvious that they are not coming back for a while. Its almost like Hahn has no idea on how it works.

Honestly missed that first glance. Terrible. But Eloy isn’t going to play a ton of OF.
Great, then he should be a DH day one. Playing him in RF sends the wrong message. Especially game one of the preseason.

Everyone panic! Leury at 2B!
I think the RF choice is the more pressing issue. They went out and got a LFer because he couldnt keep healthy playing the field. Now we are going to pretend that him in RF at any reps is any better. How about the fact that he has a noodle for an arm. Lots of dudes going first to 3rd on him this year if he plays the field. He should be a DH day one just to press this home that this is his position. Not letting the inmates run the asylum.

I am very shocked that Hahn acquired another reliever.

Rick Hahn is back in his natural habitat.

Well I am so glad we hired the KC Royals ex-coach and we are dumpster diving in the Royals end of the pool for scraps. The money will be spent. I am ready for the parade.

Yet this guy still wears a sox uniform and cant be fired due to his ability to keep JR informed of the dugout.

The Indians and the Twins would love to see Eloy in RF. It would make 1st to 3rd almost an automatic with his noodle arm.

Short arm action vs long arm action means more with arm climb at foot strike. As long as his arm is in the correct place at foot strike the rest doesn’t matter. The arm spiral and layback are usually the same. Short arm is used a lot to simplify moving parts. The more worrying thing is this guy keeps changing his mechanics every year or so.

Unfortunately I think thats exactly it. They are going to use this to restock the MLB side with low cost bodies to replace non-cost effective vets. This is not going to be a rebuild as it should be. Hahn wants to "retool". So think some farm guys plus MLB guys looking for 1 year prove it deals.
