Rosenthal Article on Luis Robert trade value and yes others notice he's injured a lot
The Sox don't give a s%*# about the idle threats of the fanbase. They're still several years away from "being decent," but Robert definitely won't be part of that. Robert has nobody to blame but himself for the Sox failures.

He won't be part of the core the next time we're decent, so you have to trade him. Easy decision.

Then please leave. There's a reason most of the regulars on this board don't post on the main board. Read the room.

Like others have said, if you could keep your pseudo Fathom routine on the other board and leave this one alone, that would be great.

Pham returns, Kuhl recalled, DeLoach and Leasure to AAA
Not a big fan of demoting Leasure. I think he's earned the right to take his lumps on the big league team.

I actually think he profiles a lot like our favorite infielder - Marcus Semien. Less pop but more contact.

DeJong, Sheets, Robert, Lee and sometimes Vaughn are literally the only MLB caliber position players on the entire team.

I couldn't give a s%*# about Grifol, but I will give him some credit in that this is the least talented team I've ever seen and they're at least somewhat competitive. A decent bullpen probably gives them 10 more wins. This season is far less painful than the last few, where we had a lot of talent on paper and they played like trash. I had zero expectations so I don't care if we win or lose.

Let's not count the chickens before they hatch. Gonzalez is just an interesting in that he's really divisive. I see a pro hitter with a good eye and a solid frame to build on. Others see him as an unathletic kid with an ugly swing. He's kind of an old school player.

Yeah, but he was especially nasty towards Jacob. I like Law and thought it was ridiculous.

Keith Law drug his name through the dirt and Law has a cult like following. That alone will make it more memorable.

Gonzalez's turnaround has been incredible. The power will come. He's got a great frame and the home runs he does hit are bombs.

White Sox calling up Thorpe
Since the change up is the least sexy pitch in baseball, I don't think some people recognize just how impressive his change up can be. He's going to strike a lot of hitters out. If he threw 97 or 98, you're looking at the number 1 prospect in baseball.

From the 2nd row in Seattle: observations and s%*#
It can't feel good to be both bad at your job, and in the public eye. If they were losing and having fun, fans would be even more brutal than they already are.

From the 2nd row in Seattle: observations and s%*#
Of course there are cliques. That doesn't mean toxic. Most starters want to be left alone when they're in the dugout. That's been common for the entire history of baseball. Robert obviously doesn't want to be here, and he can go. Again, nothing about this says there is toxicity in the clubhouse.

White Sox calling up Thorpe
He's one of the few pitchers that should live on the outside of the plate. If he's spotting that fastball on the corner, the change is unhittable. Then, he can mix in some cutters and 4 seamers up and in. If he can do those things, he's going to have a very long career as a number 3 or 4.

Sox @ Seamen 6/11 8:40 CDT
Maybe, maybe not. They'll get good value and I'd prefer he isn't around the new crop of players coming to the team.
-
Sox @ Seamen 6/11 8:40 CDT
We need the prospects Robert can provide a lot more than Robert. I'm skeptical of building around the feature player on a failed team. He's just bad vibes.
-
Sox @ Seamen 6/11 8:40 CDT
I just flat out don't like Robert, Kopech, Eloy and Moncada anymore.
-
Sox @ Seamen 6/11 8:40 CDT
I can already tell. His friends have played themselves off the team. He's sulking. He doesn't want to be here, and he's hurt all the time. It's just time to move on.
-
Sox @ Seamen 6/11 8:40 CDT
He hasn't exactly done anything to help.
-
Sox @ Seamen 6/11 8:40 CDT
He's not looking at the ball, he's looking at the fielder.

Sox @ Seamen 6/11 8:40 CDT
You gotta give Rodriguez some credit there.

Sox @ Seamen 6/11 8:40 CDT
Once Quero is up, you just find a way to get Lee and Quero in the line up every night. Nice jinx, taylorstox.

Sox @ Seamen 6/11 8:40 CDT
Get him out of here. I'm tired of him.
