It is ironic how bothered by bad baseball and profit margins some people can be, but they can't understand actual tragedy in people's lives.

Making mistakes at the major leagues is a part of developing. I have no idea how so many people wanted a rebuild but had no idea what playing young people at the major league level looks like.

This needs to be pasted after every single post certain posters make. "Overall development more important than daily results, GM says"

Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it. If losing games in a rebuild is that bothersome, find something else to do for a few years. Come back with the rest of the bandwagoners.

What do you do for a living?

And the Bulls fail again at RFA.

He has been 100% consistent on never wanting to leave the White Sox. He loves it here.

Madrigal is going to the primary guy to assign. Based on what they decide with him, will be what they decide with Rivera, and rightfully so.

Wow. That is high praise, as you are talking about Mike Trout with a description like that.

Maybe it is premature, but I am writing in Eloy Jimenez in pen to one of the corner OF spots.

Excellent, congrats to the kids! Very interesting to see Kopech NOT on that team.

I really believe if he had the impression he could play with the Sox this year, he wouldn't have left for Japan. I am sure he had a discussion with the team before he left about his status. For whatever reason, he felt his chances were more realistic in Japan. My guess is that he would have asked if he had a chance, and the Sox must have told him no. He must be behind enough guys on the depth chart that he didn't have a shot at the major league roster this year.
