well that sucks.

wait, another guest? the f***? come on.

Good AB beni, raise any trade value please.

he seemed competent imo

not the worst booth guest at least.

that's bs.

lol went from awful to amazing in one hitter. nice pitch for that k.

vargas is so buff, what an offseason.

We appear to perhaps have pulled 4 average regulars out of the pile: sosa, quero, meidroth, vargas. that's maybe 8 WAR between them however sliced, that's not bad. We still have a long ass way to go but we do have a bit of a promising youth movement started now. As we know promises nothing but better to watch than last years team even if the record to this point is the same.

I just said the same thing looking at it. That's the best lineup we've had in the last two seasons, easily. There's some speed, some power, some patience. Not a good lineup but if you squint it looks like somethings resembling a MLB lineup.

IMO this is a good solution for now. Vargas has proven he's more than solid at 3B. He's not just going to lose that playing a couple times a week at 3B and it protects his body a bit. Elko probably is JAG, replacement level, he can go rake back in AAA. The key is just getting that black hole and aura vampire Vaughn away from the team.

That actually makes a lot of sense. Huh.

For sure but there's plenty of full time catchers that broke in as part time catchers. I just want to see them all get 20-30 PA a week.

IMO wouldn't be the worst idea to let Lee and Quero work in there. Teel imo can stay in AAA until mid summer.

Yea i don't think it's all development. some of it is just scouting. if you had a stop watch or a good scout that never would have occurred. I don't think it ruined his career but it didn't help and he was never going to be athletic enough to play anything other than an awful 1B. corner OF in MLB isn't a spot you can just stick anybody. hell even a guy like Altuve struggles a bit. it takes years to learn how to play the various slices.

Elko is 1 run a week better than Vaughn at 1B. For that reason alone he should be starting all the games there.

Man he should have been gone weeks ago. A negative WAR player in over 4 full seasons ain't going to suddenly turn into a solid regular magically. Vaughn is a bad athlete with a terrible swing from the right hand side. There's nothing there.

Some of you guys are absolutely delusional. Vaughn is here because Getz is a coward and can't tell his boss he wasted 5.85 million. He has no trade value.

literal lol. only jim could waste 2k words to say the worst player in MLB should just be DFA. can you imagine going on a road trip with that guy? he'd talk himself in circles just deciding on what to eat for lunch.

What kinda catholic are you? Well imma easter, x-mas and [checks notes] White Sox mass at the park catholic.

I miss that sort of local coverage of the Sox. Times have changed and soon even old hats like Sullivan will be offered retirement and fresh out of mediocre comms programs 25 years olds using the 6th grade writing level of AI prompts will be all we have.

That's great but imo and as Bob said time to sell as this is as good as he'll probably play all year.
