eh i'd wait for them to re-do everything.Do I think he's better than their 21 year old SS in A+ who only managed a .701 OPS? I do.

woof.

It really is so hard to grapple with them not even trying here (I hope they are), because the offense (thanks to much of their moves) is really one elite player away from being actually elite.

edit: nvm forgot his baby parable. But spot on

Ugh, they are getting cockier in responses. Makes me thing something gut punching is going to happen soon.

That is now a list of teams an organization led by me could close ahead of and land Rendon.

Remember when Hahn was bragging how teams kept calling him about Ryan Cordell? Just ignore him, his brag stuff is always BS.

Totally agree.

I agree, but I do feel bad for paul sullivan, that dude is doing the work of like 6 reporters right now.

Nice, my math finally wasn't that far off.

I already had that. $25 mill projected tenders $29.8 mill signed players (Abreu, yonder, eloy, tim anderson, kelvin herrera) 18.3 million Yas I had 8.5 for unsigned guys, but even at 10 that puts you at 83 pre mazara, add 5.7 and you are at 88

What am I missing, I only have them at ~$85 currently (give or take weirdness around Abreu's signing bonus)

It's never going to cease being fun to me thinking of different things the sox could do to put together a better baseball team.

2020 is for OF what 2019 was for pitchers, which means we'll try to focus on Pederson and then get out bid and trade prospects for like, mike foltenewicz or something.

Silly me, I actually expected an elite free agent when this rebuild was kicked off in 16.

Bernardo Flores doing what it projects him to do would be such a boon.

JRs real advice to that Marlins guy should have been "always have one of the worst positions in baseball on your team, that way, any improvement makes the fans satiated. Gives them that little bit of excitement that this might be the year"

I forgot about that!

Exactly what I woke up thinking. Imagine getting a 1.000 OPS guy in a lineup that will add Vaughn and Robert and have Madrigal as DEPTH. That is comparable to the best lineups in baseball. An actual Elite thing to have.

If the white sox couldn't handle Sale, good luck with Bauer. Also by signing Boddy I'd imagine the Reds pony up to re-sign Bauer.

it's obviously a joke.

He's saying that when we see him hit well, it's actually because we are dreaming.

Well, as someone who would pass on Castellanos/Ozuna, I would say that's a logical fallacy that grades players on a perfect slope. I'd pay $36 million a year for Betts, but wouldn't pay $20 million a year for Castellanos, despite the idea that Castellanos being half as bad may not even be true (actually it probably is). But being able to add the marginal wins to a single position is super valuable. When you have a deep competitive team a lot of players are 2 WAR so to have a 6 WAR guy in one position it gives you an easier opportunity to stack the wins that get you to 94, 96, 98 elsewhere.

No shit. Doesn't mean it's not what they should do. They should pay Betts and have an unbelievable offense through the first half of the decade while finding Mazara-like pitchers.

This is nonsense, you were just complaining about how it would be bad if they signed springer because it like overwrote Mazara, but now you are saying "well obviously they would not sign Springer". Well yeah, the problem is they won't sign Springer, there would be zero problem if they signed Springer.
