2023 White Sox projections
i I bet the correlation is pretty damn good but where the sox are is probably where there is the most variation.

Your 2023 Off-Season Plan
pretty sure Colas will be up day 1. He moved up 3 levels last year, and the whole project bham gave reason to keep him in AA longer. I don't buy the service time stuff, if anything it's just nerves after seeing how Sosa was handled on a straight from AA call up. Colas needs reps, he got more where he was.

What should the club do about catcher?
do we all realize the best chance at getting above average LH power on this team next year is Yaz even with coming off a league awful year?

What should the club do about catcher?
I agree with this but that's why I don't want them to sign another catcher.

He said they should draft catchers not first baseman and DHs

Mike Clevinger to Sox per Rosenthal
I wouldn't be shocked necessarily. There are a lot of teams competing this year, and when you think of those like Paxton 1 yr 16 mill, Hamels 1 year 16 mill deals, I could see a team that is under the luxury tax going to those levels. But I wouldn't be surprised if Cueto goes for multiple years and is closer to a 2 for 20 type set-up.

good for jose's hall of fame case.

Actually it's completely relevant because the entire issue of the Reinsdorf white sox is doing this mental accounting where there is this assumption that they will not have a payroll in 2024 unless they explicitly sign players to it. The starting pitching class is strong this year, and next year you are losing Giolito and Lynn is one year older. But as soon as you sign someone, that means Jerry can't pretend that he won't field a team next year.

Because next year they'll totally fill it internally and not do the same song and dance.

the sox will think this is cheap and that makes me nervous. They constantly say to themselves "I'd rather pay $12 million for Clevinger than $17 for Bassitt" or whatever and then they'll have ended up paying way more for the production they get than the team that signed the "market rate" option.

2022-23 NFL Season thread
Well, of priorities now, MLB is not in the top ten. Not saying much but you know it's true. The main bummer of yesterday was mainly that the season truly is over. Now we know how much we truly can have with tanking, and obviously getting a trade like the dolphins received would be a huge boon. Or getting a dominant edge for cheap like Will Anderson. So it's hard to even want Fields to carve up packers. Kinda just want Semien.

anyway the fact that financials haven't leaked lead me to believe the agent doesn't have much to brag about so that's probably good.

Mike Clevinger to Sox per Rosenthal
"It doesn't bother me that he went out in the context of it not being a big deal now, so it doesn't matter that his clubhouse turned against him for compromising a playoff run by being an idiot and lying to his teammates about it". Happy for Clev that he is now a white sox so a portion of this board will soon turn to "HE WAS A FREEDOM FIGHTER FOR DON DOIN WHAT HE DID!"

Yea, and let’s be clear, part of why some of us are open to trading Gio is due to not even getting a QO out to Rodon.

Extremely funny to me NYJ are going to convince themselves that Mike white is incredible based on moving the ball against the bears d who lost even more of their only effective players.
