Some outfields get hits. Ours takes hit. Hey now!

Problem is league average as a bottom 1/3 1B / DH as a RHB is completely worthless.

Signs of life as calendar turns to March!

They still doing the ticket food and drink special there in Peoria? Last time I was down there they had a 30 dollar buy in and you got like 3-4 whiskey drinks and a couple solid food options out of it

@nrockway @Bob Sacamano you know, sadly enough I'm with ya. I'm so sick of Vaughn.

Joey Gallo makes Adam Dunn look like Jim Thome.

Joey Gallo? What we building another 120 loss club?

Eh, don't want to yuck ur yum but if it's just spasms it doesn't really point to anything chronic or structurally necessarily.

It's this sort of bad break that can really be the difference between just being historically bad and setting our own record breaking historically bad total last year.

Who cares? Why would I root against any Sox player? Getz is a clown, Colas is just a dime a dozen AAAA type but our org did him zero favors and I guarantee word around the league is that this franchise is poverty, doesn't develop any young talent and is a miserable place to be.

I think he hates this org and is depressed. I don't blame him.

Much like a dead arm if the player isn't back in a week or two get concerned. Until then it's a nothingburger. Last year he had oblique tear, different issue and unrelated to any sort of spasms he's having in his back. Young tall dude getting a shitload of reps after adding muscle so yea, could be just usual wear and tear from ramping up in spring.

That's the crux of it. It was a massive scouting fail. His best position is...hitter? And he needs massive improvement there? What are we doing? Hope in one hand and in the other...

I wonder if Vargas' walk rate will come down if he continues to show no real power. Like Madrigal, if the pitcher thinks he can knock the bat out of your hand, you're not going to get worked around very often you'll just get attacked mercilessly.

Honestly nobody but thread tax I will go with Beni. I think for some reason he’s going to be motivated to GTFO and while it is just a wild hunch I think he starts hot and builds trade value.

Yea I said it yesterday. The SP is going to be horrific. We could challenge our own record.

Slinker?

"chuckers" sounds so stupid imo. Just say pitchers.

Colson is going to hit. We haven't had a player like him in forever. I honestly don't think we've ever had a guy with his physical profile from the left side since I've been a fan. The closest would be Jermaine but he was RHB and fading out of his prime when we got him.

who the f*** was bitching about Colson's spring training stats? Nobody.

I'm old and have seen a lot of spring training baseball that doesn't mean jack s%*#. But this team is getting ass blasted for a reason. We could be worse than last year in all honesty. The SP will be horrific, and for most of last year it was simply mediocre to bad.

Give it two weeks we'll probably have half a dozen guys dealing with "dead arms". I agree, it's almost like they are pushing these velocity reports as a distraction from how awful everything else so far this spring.

Earn playing time on the South Side with this one weird trick!
