We'll take the ZIPS projection. Dan had us at 53. I can easily see 43-119. We're on pace for 36 wins so maybe I'm being optimistic. This team fucking sucks. Dan's entire writeup is worth the read.

Team looks like it's already quit imo. Our inability to find players with grit and managers that can motivate is a very big factor in why the team is so bad and will once again under perform the projections by 10-20 games.

We're just as bad as last year probably worse on paper. The problems in the White Sox organization are multifold.

1/3 of his balls in plays are classified as "burner / flare". Dude is swinging a shanked 9 iron up there.

careful he once had a 900 OPS in July you're going to summon @WestEddy

Due up: bum, bum, bum.

1 hit 1 error. I wonder how many times we'll out error our hits this year.

Maybe. Sheets seems like a guy that because of his status is willing to try things that might be scary at first. He's always been a bit of an afterthought and had to hit his way up, even as a fairly high draft pick. Vaughn was just handed a started job and was never demoted or had to face the reality of losing playing time. We just keep trotting him out there and so he probably thinks well, why change anything? I don't think any other org would have tendered him. They would have tried to do some incentive laden deal at best with a team option or vesting options.

This team is one fire: through 17 games last year we are 2-15 -- this year we literally have 100% more wins at 4-13. Suck it Getz haters.

Give him the greenie coffee going forward. Dude doesn't even care enough to juice.

Imagine telling a Sox fan in 2021 that a month into 2025, Luis Robert would have a 440 OPS and 2 HR in his last 240 PA, Andrew Vaughn would have negative career WAR and the Sox, by the way, are coming off the worst season of all time.

Getz has really stacked this roster with talent.

did the scouts that recced him work for Getz or Hahn?

not even fucking competitve with the heat, disgusting.

PECOTA Matt Wieters.

I don't know exactly how much leeway we have with the IL for Lee. I guess that allows them some wiggle room for at least two weeks. So yea, get him up here.

Our catchers on pace for 6 fWAR. We should be getting something for one of them, if they DFA Lee to bring him up it makes no sense. Catcher is the least of our worries right now.

But why?

1.5 million and he gets to go sit and home and jerk off instead of doing any work. I can't stress enough what a moronic signing this way. You bring back a guy 99.995% of the fanbase can't stand, and on top of that everybody knew he sucked and was washed except our brilliant "ripping up the floorboards" GM only to cut him three weeks into the season. Might as well sign Bauer at this point and have a "violence against women" night at the park that will do it!

So we eat his salary another genius Getz move bringing him in

Sox are just lucky it wasn't ranked choice voting.
