stuff like this still kills me: https://theathletic.com/957782/ Twins hire really smart front office, they model organization to be on same page all the way down to managers office, and will be able to get some immediate benefits with wins and stealing a division even before they get full traction.

Everytime I read this thread title my gut is that it's about how handsome we think they are.

I will say, from Law's draft, if there were to be a white sox high school pick this sounds like the most white soxian " 40. Tyler Callihan, INF/C, Pr ovidence HS (Jacksonville, Florida) -- Callihan can hit, but he lacks a position. He can really hit, though, with a smooth left-handed swing, bat speed to turn around velocity and enough loft to get to above-average power. And he really has no position, although to his credit, he has tried to catch some and isn't awful back there. I think the team that thinks he has some chance to work out behind the plate is the one that takes him, figuring even a 5 percent chance of a star is worth the shot.

We very well could draft Misner at 2 at this point.

Also there are other people in this world you could hire that don’t believe in bunting constantly.

I seriously cannot believe that people don’t remember how terrible the situation was around Ozzie and his sons in 2009-2011. He’s lucky to even be tangentially involved in Sox business.

Not an interesting baseball day.

Out of curiosity would people be more or less upset if Jose just straight up tried to steal home

Rodon's slider is v. good.

Renato is such a sweet name.

There's probably so many people there he lost it in the crowd.

That's a weird game day. What does "deflected by nicky delmonico" mean

On a day like today, not much, on 25k or more, you get to watch more of the game because you aren't stuck in concessions and bathroom lines. I do like the view depending on the angle too.

He finished the year in AZ throwing 26 innings.

I would guess they will have him in AZ (i don't know if june was when he's first assigned or if he's in extended now and he'll be ready to go) first and then go to W-S

Mendick always seems to have these points where it seems like he's starting to fall off, he'll be hitting like .220, then he goes off like this (3-4 for a homer) and will go on a stretch to bring him up to like .265, then fall off again, then tear. But Dang he's gonna hit like 20 HRs down there.

I hope Sosa can find his footing again. Brutal stretch.

I agree (since I would not do the deal), but Stroman at the deadline will likely be attractive to more team than the white sox, so we don't get to create his market. I don't think bundling together some crap prospects will do it despite his injury history. If he had .5 years remaining it might, though this assumes he keeps pitching well. That said, I would not be opposed to getting an upgraded pitcher with 1.5 years control, and offering an extension that bought out their final year and provided 2-3 years additional control. As OP said, the FA markets are going to be garbage. So either we are going to be spending $140 millions for a pop up guy like patrick corbin each year or we try to split the cost in prospects and money for a guy before he hits the market.

Should this just be our game 1 thread?

I do not know that I have seen a number put on it.

It's a little early to worry about Bush's value in the majors. If his bat is his carrying quality I'd rather they find a defensive spot for him to work on that looks attainable. As long as they didn't stick him at 1b like they did to yurchak right away, which let us know the dream was dead.

Wow.

Why does this bother people?

It seems to track the Sonny Gray deal. I did not say I would do this trade, I would be more open to Sanchez. But I do think people need to stop being skiddish on adding things with less than 6 years control.
