I hope Turner can play the long man if needed next year. I don't care if they are rarely used, the ramifications of our high bullpen days which hav ebeen numerous due to shields and rodon crap starts to many extra inning games. We needed a long reliever more than 5 outfielders.

If absolutely nothing else, you know the guy is going to catch most everything hit to center field. That alone is a big help to a team that depends on its pitching.

Besides those two, Sale, and Danish coming up for no reason. Who else has been rushed to the bigs the past 5 or so years pitching wise?
Not bigs but spencer Adams promo too

I saw Chapman 105 MPH Cubs t-shirts on sale at Jewel the other day. I wonder if they have one of him firing some bullets into a wall and choking his girlfriend.
Probably would be a top seller behind the Horry Cow classic.

Seeing that lineup just puzzles me. Each individual arent terrible baseball players (a case can be made for some) but as a whole they are yuck. Why is that?
I love it because it's the epitome of a soxtalk preseason "that lineups not bad, with our pitching we should win 88" lineup that would totally be 28th in the league again.
Let me be first to put this lineup out there:
2017 White Sox
LF - Puig
CF - Gomez
RF - Eaton
3b-Frazier
SS - Anderson
2b - LORRIE
1b - Abreu
DH - Melky
C - Matt Wieters
