Just being real here, it's quite possible and perhaps likely that Luisangel will outperform Doyle at every facet of baseball going forward.

I mean, this would only make sense as part of a larger trade.

I don't really see how you'd trade for him for your MLB team. He has minor league options so if the Sox just want to see if they can get him going in Charlotte, then sure.

Well, he's not very good. He does kill LHP though.

He'll be collecting Social Security before he becomes a free agent.

Sox really needed a trustworthy righty. And I wouldn't want to put myself in a position in which I might need to get important innings from McDougal

Interesting philosophical question as far as whether it matters that the 36 year old has 3 years of team control.

Is allowing 1 run per game good enough pitching?

My "home and road splits don't matter" hypothesis looking pretty good

After seeing Pereira's truly horrific at bats in Milwaukee to start the year followed by some quite decent play, I've decided I can't evaluate him in small samples.

Davitt revenge game?

Who takes the 9th?

Castillo's effectiveness is pretty significantly tied to his unique release point anyway. It's something Bannister seems to really like.

Kay has gotten better.

Don't slander Edgar "I got two hits yesterday" Quero!

All part of the plan

In case you're wondering about whether Benny might have been out of the baseline, for the purposes of that rule there is no baseline until the fielder attempts a tag which never even happened on the play.

oh my god lmao

What a gift

Why is it that acquisition of amateur players operates in a regressive capped way, such that poor teams get first pick and more money, yet the Dodgers still end up with the best ones? Is it that such systems are not guaranteed to achieve their stated goal in this great game of baseball?

It would be so White Sox to finally get a super rich owner only for the league to neutralize the benefits of having a rich owner.

If the owners have a problem with how much money some are making, they should simply work it out amongst themselves if the money needs to be moved around.

Has anyone associated with the White Sox stated that Noah has an innings limit and what that limit is?

Yeah TBH, this team is so young and it's so unclear what you're going to get from people that I just don't know if it makes sense to go out and try to get a bunch of upgrades. Keep the ear to the ground for bullpen depth and pick up a MLB catcher, then roll with your guys. Also, call Houston's GM and see if they'll take Bonemer + Carlson + Noah + anything for Yordan.

Hagen and McDougal pitched tonight, so they wouldn't get called up yet anyway. For the moment, I think Hagen is more likely to be successful in MLB out of the pen but I also think Sox are in less need of a lefty reliever. Especially if they are thinking of keeping Noah in some kind of swing role.
