Luis Robert is in game shape. If this is his personal trainer he needs to be fired yesterday. Part of the offseason plan was for these guys to take care of their body and get into a shape that can extend through the season without any major issues. That looks to be an abject failure here.

Yea. I really only like the Mets prospects. Sign me up for Parada. Also really like Jett Williams.
But neither of those really help the big league club so it wouldn't make sense unless the goal is to merely shed payroll.
You had me at shed payroll.

For love of God, don’t let the Sox take Dillon Head.
Or Enrique Bradford Jr. He is fast. But I don't see his power being enough for an OF in the majors.

So to me it's really just about the $100k. You bring a guy in, get him a try out, if you don't want him on the opening day roster, offer him back. There are 5 spots open. It's not like thereare many tough decisions currently.
Remember the white sox trading away international money in trades. Yes of course a Jerry Reinsdorf owned franchise is trying to maximize profits. The idea that they might have to pay 100k is beyond his imagination.

Sox should have never parted ways with Dombroski in the organization. We'd have had a few more titles by now and not have to put up with this Hahn tank job/rebuild that failed. To not hire the best medical training staff also is inexcusable. Sox have become a laughingstock in the Hahn era.
Do you really think Dombrowski does Dombrowski things under Jerry and his budgets.

And Fegan just posted an article that says the Sox are basically at their budget now. Super!

If Jerry were to exit the team, Hahn would be gone in a second. Look at how atrocious his track record is over his 10 years as GM:
- 1st place finishes = once
- 2nd place finishes = once
- Playoffs reached = twice
- + .500 seasons = twice
- 3rd or worse finishes = eight
10 fucking years of this chump lawyer-speaking to us about parades, sustained success, and multiple championships and all we have to show for it is two good seasons where we exited in the 1st round. For a guy kept around that long, it has to be one of the worst track records for a GM ever and somehow he keeps get more chances under Jerry.
The good news is any new owner would hear him use the word “precipice” and fire him on the spot.
The day after Jerry is gone, Hahn, Kenny, Daryl Boston, and the rest of the cronies hiding out in the country club would all be getting new jobs.

One of the biggest issues is the quality of finishing. I watch teams in the world cup and their shots on goal. Quality hard shots happen multiple times in the game. We get lazy headers directly at the goalie, or guys who are trying to audition for the NFL crushing 40 yard field goals way over the goal mouth. Our players hesitate and mess up their shots over and over. This needs to be the focus in the youth program. How to deliver quality strikes.
The other thing, why is one of your best goal scorers delivering the corners. Its insane.

Hahn loves having Sheets on the roster, as he can always use him as an example of why they don’t need certain things. I’m sure if he wasn’t a lefty fielder, they’d put him at 2nd base also.
He will rotate Grandal, Vaughn and Sheets at first base. Sheets if your starting RF until Colas comes up. And Leury and Eloy will play left field with Vaughn doing a stint here and there. The DH will be used to rotate the odd man out. Grandal will play everyday no matter how bad he is.

I remember when I thought these types of quotes were posturing, but now there is legit fear flowing through my blood that Hahn is willing to use Sheets in the OF again.
And just for the record, this is where Sheets & Vaughn ranked in rate adjusted DRS among corner OFs partway through 2022. Needless to say, they sucked major you know what and any GM claiming they could be options out there again should be immediately relieved of his duties.
I think the plan of attack is Eloy will play in LF, Colas will eventually be in RF and the OF is good to go. They will use Sheets for a month and a half to get the extra year of control for Colas. And they will use a rotation of bad fielders for DH.

It wouldn’t be both Timmy and Montgomery. Could easily see them trade Hendriks or Giolito in one deal and then Montgomery in another.
I can see JR using Montgomery as a sweetener to offload a painful contract.

I'm cool with trading Hendriks. Sox have more than enough capable bodies to close.
If Hendriks can help this team at position of need and create more depth, then I am all for it
Really, we have more than enough capable bodies. I must of missed that.
-
The splitting the fan base tweet tells me they are going to part with a high end prospect or someone under control. Remember we dont know how to scout ourselves. Goodbye Colas/Montgomery.

Being able to bring his own staff in for the most part is at least a better start to this than Ewing and Boston assuming their normal positions of statue at 1st and waving guy at third sending runners to their deaths.

So lame. Can’t believe the man that brought us a World Series and is literally the only proven winner with this shitty front office is looked down upon by the masses like this. Ozzie deserves a little more respect. Ever hear of club DNA? The oz has already changed it. What is Kevin long going to do to change our club DNA?
Now I see where all of the score callers come from. WE NEED DITKA. DITKA WOULDNT ALLOW SUCH AN EMBARRASMENT ON DEFENSE. DITKA WOULD KICK DA DEFENSE IN DA ASS. DITKA WAS DA ONLY WON TO WIN A SUPERBOWL. HE IS DA BEST. RESPECT HIM.

Sox twitter was so weirdly pro Ozzie last night I had to unfollow people.
Its the Mike Ditka phenomena. People fall in love with the memory of the manager/coach in charge and forget what that man was. These guys had warts just like what you see now.

I haven't heard Schildt's name in a couple weeks. Is this comment based on something?
The score was mentioning him today

If Shildt is hired JR is making the decision based on TLR influencing him. TLR is the gift that keeps on giving.

If this Northbrook Bob guy is to believed and the Sox have already ruled out Espada, you got to think there is already someone in mind for the job. And if there is someone in the mind for the job, you think Hahn would accelerate a hiring decision to avoid competing with the Marlins or Royals unless said candidate is part of a playoff team. And if said candidate is a part of a playoff team and it’s not Espada, then it’s got to be Kevin Long right? Optimistic me says it has to be him, although the pessimistic me can’t quite shake the Getz rumor. Hiring him and promoting KW Jr after acknowledging the organization has been too insular would be such a White Sox set of moves.
Or maybe that the front runner isn't one coveted by other teams because he has never coached before and isn't a real candidate by the rest of baseball. What's the rush, make it look like you did a thorough job and hire the inside guy. If we were competing or it was a real candidate they would of locked that person up already.

Yeah, for the older non athletes. Sure its difficult. But for elite athletes, that is a cake walk. Just because I cant do it doesnt mean a professional athlete in their prime is held to the same standard.
