Shingo Takatsu had a sub 1.00 ERA for a period of time as well!

I’m happy to have our lineup face Colome this year

Also congrats to Ash and Carlos on the birth of their second child Bo who was born today! Quite a day for the Rodon household, glad he’s not spending it looking at the hate on here.

Marquez is nothing special at all. It would be absolutely foolish to trade Vaughn for him. I’ll go as far to say there’s a decent chance that a Rodon (or similar signing) could perform as well as Marquez. He’s not nearly good enough to warrant trading Vaughn.

Too many people who believe past performance will equal the future (on high and low salary players). You need a roster that includes some “buy low” candidates. Every year there’s guys like Rodon who turn it around. He was put into a ridiculous position late in the season, I think this is a good risk/reward signing.

Ok, well you’re free to be disingenuous if you’d like. Obviously Rodon’s stuff at its best is very different than the people you named, but you know this and are talking in hyperbole.

It’s inaccurate to say we haven’t seen dominant outings, because we have! Now I agree those have been few and far between but we HAVE seen them. https://whitesoxpride.mlblogs.com/masterpiece-theater-83ce5f8bbd5

I am extremely biased, but I think Carlos is going to have a great year. People forget how dominant this guy is when he’s healthy. I saw many many of his games at NC State and still can’t believe his career has unfolded the way it has...but it’s not over yet!

Sheets isn’t a MLB player. Happy if he proves me wrong. If we could get a low minor leaguer with upside I would deal him.

Can’t believe how willing people are to trade Vaughn for mediocre players. Sometimes we give Hahn a hard time, but holy sh!t am I glad some of our fans aren’t the GM!

I have no clue how the last few pages relate to Cruz. Do we know where this stands?

No guarantee on that. Range of possibilities on both of those pitchers is wide.

How is this possible?

Vaughn is not going to be a bust. He has a very high floor. At very worst he’s a bottom third 1B/DH imo...

What do you guys guess is the best offer on the table currently?

3/70 for Bauer Who says no?

I’ll say the last 4y will be bad. This is a horrible contract. Happy to be wrong but I don’t think Springer’s style of play will age well.

I’m calling for one solid year then a significant drop off in play. Glad we didn’t sign him.

Not upset

Am I the only one who thinks he’s annoying?

His “gets hit hard to stuff” ratio is the highest we’ve seen since Javy Vazquez

Yes. Tough to argue we didn’t give up more future value for less time under contract.

Is the only reason that the Sox had to give up so much more than the Padres for Darvish the contract? Seems like we kind of got fleeced in comparison.

Well...they didn’t give up Gore

Damnnnn
