  1. Over under on combined war for gio and Eaton rest of career? 7? Yikes.
  2. Careful this straw man is about to turn into compost.
  3. My position on kopech hasn't changed. He is too good for AAA and there isn't much, if any growth left for him until MLB hitters can challenge him. If he is down there "working on things" he could do that in Chicago as well, seeing how they are tanking. So honestly STFU.
  4. White Sox pitching is singlehandely going to prevent the balls in play crisis.
  5. It really is. You almost never see a guy go from a shit walk rate to an excellent one, especially not a 27 year old. Davidson is cool with me this year. He's a nice piece.
  6. you leave them down until they are out of option years or become rule 5 eligible, at which point you consider a trade. Hard part is determining when the opportunity cost comes for other guys. I mean, at this point, I'd rather see Covey than Fulmer. Covey, granted is older, but Covey is actually excelling in AAA this year.
  7. I'm glad I unignored you this year I've had some bonding moments. That popout, that went like 20 feet high from Engel had me thinking the exact same thing. I had a flashback to many summer nights as a kid. There is nothing more little league than a shit, off balance swing resulting in a 20 foot high popup down the 1st base line. I must have caught hundreds of those in my days.
  8. what a weak ass throw. FFS use your god damn brain you are not Vlad out there. You have an arm only Juan Pierre envies. THROW IT TO 2ND.
  9. OK? I'm following on twitter. It doesn't change my opinion one bit. What's he going to learn in AAA that he can't in MLB?
  10. Kopech has a no hitter through three. 3K/1BB. There's really nothing left for him to learn in AAA, if he has good command he'll dominate, if not, he'll struggle. It will be the same in MLB. Might as well call him up as soon as the super two deadline safely passes, which I think is about two weeks from today.
  11. Tex throwing robbie under the bus like that is awesome. It's about time someone applied occam's razar to a PED bust. I don't even GAF that he used PEDs but I do GAF about his half assed apology in which he denied taking anything other than the diuretic. Get real.
  12. Don't let him watch the games or he'll blow another vein.
  13. I shouldn't have used the word "stupid" but maybe "sub optimal". As mentioned he's already got enough money to live rather comfortably. It's not a situation where he wants to guarantee an absolute floor for his career earnings and take away that downside risk (like TA or Q or Sale or Eaton) who had never gotten paid anywhere near the 30 or so million Moncada got to come over. Maybe guaranteeing that 150 million would be tempting but maybe he'd be tempted to play a few years in the prime of his physical condition (if not quite the prime of his baseball career) and perhaps double his earnings over that next decade instead. From the Sox' POV I don't think there's any incentive to buy him out so early in his arb. Especially not until they know what the new CBA is going to bring.
