Would love Holt . A slow start shouldn't be a reason for a player of his caliber to be DFA.

Wait you would release Grandal ? That's beyond insane. Have you been doing green lines ?

You do love your collision talk. Everybody past and present is going to take out Robert in train wreck collision !!

Certainly dont want to rain on your parade but it's hard to imagine Madrigal coming back and doing as well as Mendick has.

Pyramid power !

Obviously the key to the HR outburst the last week is carbo loading. Thank you Mrs. Anderson.

Jose says "Dont be throwing at mi cabesa !"

Holy moly Eloy 1

Inception reference?

I love this game !!!

Stop making excuses for the Cubs ! They were good, we sucked but overall we came out ahead. I'll take the bragging rights despite the big IF you provided for that other team.

Yes that's true and I already addressed that when another poster answered in your defense. HOWEVER, I think we would all be happy if Mazara was the same guy against RH pitching he has always been, which he also has a track record of. The hope with Mazara was that he would take a step forward not a step back. Both taking a step back for either one didnt seem likely given both track records.

I never said it would be easy Perhaps in the off season if we make major strides with the pandemic and it gives more time for him to be his usual self and McCann to continue proving the doubters wrong. But it would be quite difficult to tell McCann to wait unless you have a handshake agreement that becomes effective when Grandal is traded otherwise it will hurt the offers for Grandal.

He's getting paid what he was worth. It's not an over pay when compared to top 3 tAlents at other positions.

Here's an idea no one mentioned because not many are going to like it. Trade Grandal . He's worth way more than McCann . See if you can get a LH OF with decent pop and OBP and plus defense but who has more years of control. At the same time make sure you resign McCann to same years but less money you paid Grandal.

Well everything he said was a fact except being the best free agent. Now if he meant best free agent position player that the Sox got he is right because he's the only one they got this off season. But even among all free agent position players the Sox could ve signed ,Grandal was pretty high up there .

Thanks and very positive . Good job !

Lol when was that 1906 ? I'd never write it out of the history books . Easy big fella ! I just was making a suggestion that perhaps that was not exactly what he was looking for.

I think maybe he meant since interleague play started not including ancient history. BUT it is worth noting that even while rebuilding and being bad we played them pretty tough while they were very good.

And that is a fair stance to take. But it's also fair that you cant keep going with cold hitters when every win this season is important. I dont agree with JGB that we didnt need Grandal and I supported McCann more than many here did. Grandal just brought way too much to the table to question his acquisition in a season that before we knew about Covid we were looking to greatly improve and beyond this season too. Keep both this season and see how it plays out. I don't think Mazara is a lost cause but he needs to be at least as good as he has been in the past against RH to make a solid contribution. How such a young, talented player could show such consistency offensively and completely crater now is beyond me If you had polled the board on what they would have expected this season from Mazara and McCann I think more people would have thought Mazara would be what he has always been than would thinking McCann would continue to keep hitting well.

No offense but this is a small sample size season. If u stick with a cold player too long it might cost you games. Mazara sample size is small and everyone hates him. You accuse JGB of confirmation bias but someone could say the same about you and Marzara. Only difference is you got the whole board on your side with Mazara while JGB has a minority opinion .

Winner winner spaghetti dinner !!!

I was watching highlights from yesterday's games around MLB after the Sox game last night and I realized that the White Sox are last in the league in cardboard cutout attendance. I think Seattle filled the park.

Take no prisoners

I would be remiss if I didn't mention Matt Foster here. 12 dominant innings to start his career. 0 runs , very few hits and many K's after his 2 innings tonight
