The Lenyn Sosa Thread
Right now I think Vargas is the odd man out, we've got another month of ABs to try and get some more data on these guys.

The Future of the White Sox TV Broadcast Team
Only broadcast (quite literally) I've heard this year worse than Sox is the Athletics. Nails on a chalkboard combined with zero baseball knowledge from their DEI hire.

The Lenyn Sosa Thread
Yikes. He's almost run neutral on FGs defensive values now. He leads our team in fWAR. If you want Sosa gone, you're insane. FGs -.7 runs below average. As a team the Sox are -40. Statcast: 55th percentile defender. Run neutral. You can use the eye test or you can use advanced metrics. Hell use both for all I care but don't ignore the metrics. He's fine at 2B. He works to improve his first step he could be solid.

not saying I think they will but trading one of the few players that has consistently improved here and is now at least league average and cheap would be fucking insane.- The Lenyn Sosa Thread
He's the only guy on the team that hits well enough relative to his position other than the rookie catchers and so for Colson. For that reason alone I'd say he should be able to continue to play 2B most days. That said, I can also see his bat playing in a corner OF, so I'd give him some reps their in the offseason and spring, see how he takes to it. Doesn't need to even spend too much time on it, just enough to see if it's something he could do once a week or something without being horrible.- Fire Chris Getz
A ridiculous sample bias. Same argument as well player x stunk for 3 years but player y also stunk for three years and then turned into a superstar. Sure, but how many other guys just kept sucking????????????- 8/17/2025 - Sox @ Royals - 1:10 pm - Davis v. Bergert

He will have the worst record of any two first seasons as a GM. Yikes.- 8/17/2025 - Sox @ Royals - 1:10 pm - Davis v. Bergert

I like baseball but that's honestly insane.- Sox looking for Win # 45 tonight
over under on 15 innings consecutive at this point without scoring, yikes.- Sox looking for Win # 45 tonight
statcast says salvy swung 80.1 mph, that is absurd, test that man mid inning.- Savanah Bananas tonight at Sox Park
In 2016 I bought four tickets to see Messi and Argentina at the Copa. Bought them off craiglist $80 each. Day of game one friend cancelled and other two said if I could double our money they'd not go. Ending up selling them for $160 each. Not bad. Need more arbitrage opportunities like that.- New farm system rankings...
Personally feels like the season is firmly in the denouement now. The MLB roster took a small step forward, the minor league system all together, given it graduated Colson, took a small step back. Org wise it feels like progress but also absolutely insufficient if the goal is to win anything before 2028. We need at least two more seasons of building, and that's with good moves.- Savanah Bananas tonight at Sox Park
Bananas are one of the better things going for baseball, pro or otherwise. I don't agree at all with the "get off my lawn" types. The Harlem Globetrotters never claimed to be the 91-92 Bulls but they sure as hell helped spread basketball.- 8/13 Sox vs. Tigers 1:10PM
Great effort today, these guys go out last night?- 8/13 Sox vs. Tigers 1:10PM
Benis OPS below 700, worthless ass player and our biggest contract ever. Joke.- Fire Chris Getz
Did you just compare two of the best GMs of our generation to...Chris Getz?- 8/12 Sox vs. Tigers ~7:30PM
good play colson.- 8/12 Sox vs. Tigers ~7:30PM
