What a fun thread! Love seeing Jose Rodriguez start quick

Classic

I would be surprised but you never know!

He was our biomechanics hire, was credited with velo increase in Kade McClure. I was really excited what he was bringing to org, but I think sox realistically through either contracting out or hiring are still getting work like this. But he seemed nice on twitter.

missed that ben hansen left ?

https://www.milb.com/scores/chicago-white-sox/2021-05-04 6 pm start times The only known starter I can see is Lambert in CHA. Couldn't find anything from Kanny on who is starting, but that will be the one to watch. holy smokes it has been so long.

Love the April MVP awards. He has been struggling with a back injury. Jackie Bradley Jr has had a better season than Eloy Jimenez, blew me away didn't expect that.

ohhh yeah.

That's pretty impressive considering last years slate vs nl central.

Maybe Cease will be like, a really good batter.

This board complained about Luis Robert being lost 3/4ths of his at bats. My opinions are good.

I do wonder with how Texas specifically wanted Dunning, if they aren't as interested in our young pitchers which could be a hurdle. But yes let's go for it. Gallo is awesome. Awesome players are great. Turn our frowns upside down.

Same, he was the milquetoast kinda selection that was what I hated. But so was McClure. Ben Hansen was listed as the reason for McClure's velo increase, but he's starting to get us some results as they could be legit bullpen/fifth starter guys sooner rather than later.

yeah I don't understand the specifics of it. I don't know - could be either had approval for a specific location? Not really sure how this works, definitely saw it on a beat writers twitter though.

Vera sounds like he'll stay in DR for tax purposes, Cespedes apparently has visa issues.

That's a good one. My players to watch: Kannapolis - all of them W-S - Carranza (had instructs helium), Davis Martin (last time we saw him he was super up and down but sometimes dominant), Freeman (good arm), Bush, Yolbert, Sosa. Birmingham - McClure, Pilkington (reported velo uptick), Adolfo i guess. Carlos Perez. Charlotte - we know the potentially immediate guys, but obviously burger. Hunter Schryver will be nice to see again.

It's not ideal, but if we get 75% of that contract, he is both a legitimate RF option, but also becomes easier to trade if we take on the remaining 75% of the contract, thus having cut his salary in half for the team to offload him (25% from cubs, 25% from sox).

that would definitely be a decent option. Seems like a nice guy too.

My target for Engel to be successful is 90 wRC+. If he can give us that offensively he is a gem. Please get healthy my dude.

Adding $51 million in salary for the next 3 years is also a form of mortgaging the future considering way JR operates.

fortunately it shouldn't take long, if they look stronger and better scouts won't need too long of a track record.

sometimes people fat finger it, it's really not something to get upset about.

This list really is exceedingly small. I think I could circle Keiermeyer, Naquin as possible.
