Gio looking great early, that's great news.

sounds like he was plenty at the ATS.

This OF defense is about as good as can be put out there.

Rinse, repeat. The Sox will spend on their bigger holes.

McCann didn't have a chance.

That vintage Frank Thomas swing.

Didnt't we have a deal done with the Nationals to get Luzardo? Like maybe Robertson? And then Lerner owner vetoed it over his staff?

He has zero future with the Sox. Realistically they picked him as a gamble that they could sneak him through waivers after they were done with him.

There aren't enough starting catchers to go around as it is. The ONLY thing that MIGHT hold his value down in Covid economics.

lol, no.

Going to spring training next time it is open to the public.

I got a Sox/Cubs World Series at +7125

Forget it, he's rolling.

Then why spend so much time freaking out over the Sox?

The entire White Sox 28 man playoff roster has a total of 134 games of playoff experience between 5 players. If Encarnacion and Mazara both sit, the Sox starting line up with have 33 games of experience, all belonging to Grandal. Total playoff games played: DK 46 EE 34 Grandal 33 Dyson 19 (for 23 total ABs) Mazara 2

The 28 can change, but I believe they have to come from the bigger playoff roster.

Looking at it really quickly I see ReyLo out, and Leury in. Also Collins is in and Gio Gonzalez is out.

Weren't you the one who wanted to give Avi like a hundred million dollar extension?

Using the playoff tree before this season, we would have been in the playoffs, tied with Cleveland as the 4th seed. Don't recall what the tie breaker for home field/4th seed would have been last year. The Sox had a better record than 2 of the 3 second place teams, which got artificially seeded higher under this made up system for 2020.

Might as well call him "boy" from the direction being taken.

Barstool is such a bunch of dopes.

Not to mention, why would McCann give up a year of free agency in that situation to sign an undermarket extension? James McCann will be a free agent. He will sign an impressive free agent deal to be a starting catcher and play 130 games somewhere else, because we can't offer that to him. Finally his numbers will regress to the norm once he isn't getting cherry picked to start for ideal match ups.
