Yes his desire is there.

We are all in!

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.

If you think thats boxing then neither have you.

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.

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.

You had me at shed payroll.

Or Enrique Bradford Jr. He is fast. But I don't see his power being enough for an OF in the majors.

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.

Do you really think Dombrowski does Dombrowski things under Jerry and his budgets.

"You made my Tony go away, my money goes away." JR

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.

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 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.

Cease is never signing here for the long run.

I can see JR using Montgomery as a sweetener to offload a painful contract.

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.
